The same photoshop I use that removes all those floating windows when another app gets focus, thus creating a very obvious connection by their presence only being when PS has focus?
Actually (I used to do this), you have to sent the hardware back when you're done with it. Or, you're usually given the option of purchasing it outright at reduced prices.
Nah, Diablo was just Nethack + Moria with better graphics. Dungeons were static after you entered the level (NetHack), you had to return to town to buy and sell crap (Moria), had a town portal spell (also Moria).
I would have liked more interesting classes, though.
Actually, there were very beta drivers released by 3dfx that could do this. Also, I believe there's a howto out there to get X11 to treat it as a 2d framebuffer, too.
Why even transfer the state over? You are already executing the correct path on one core, just prime the other core to pick up the next branch and let things go from there.
This seems like it would work really really well on very parallel CPUs, or quantum CPUs.
Actually, Civilization 4 uses Python at its heart. The AI and the graphics code is written in C++, and everything else, all the game logic, in Python. Makes it really easy to dig in and modify the game on a very high level.
someone doesn't understand basic Internet topology.
Repeat after me: The Internet is a -quilt-, not a singular fabric. You are NOT entitled to have anyone carry your traffic. NOT entitled.
Anyone can do whatever the hell they want with their own bandwidth.
Why the hell is it companies feel that they are entitled to have other networks carry their traffic? Why the hell is it that basic Internet topology is so ignored?
Runs on X11, works for CGI scripts as well as locally-executed scripts, and is very, very nice. just install Devel::ptkdb from CPAN, or here, on the CPAN site.
It uses Tk and is very much usable over an 11Mbps wifi link, is fast, understands perl objects, hashrefs, etc.
Best of all, it doesn't impose a monolithic IDE on your development process.
Not only that, AdiumX taps into some Carbon libs, too, and uses WebKit to draw the message logs. There's no equivalent to WebKit for GNUstep yet, so that really puts a damper on the port work.
SGI's 320 and 540-series Visual Workstations ran Intel chips, and a custom PROM based on what their IRIX machines ran. Intel XEON CPUs. dual and quad machines,respectively.
But, were I Microsoft, I could think of ways to leverage the Linux development progress cheaply and easily, and piss off all the OSS people all at once.
First, MS should buy Transgaming. They own Cedega, which is a closed fork of the Wine tree. No need to support the WINE project with actual patches, since there's no licensing requirements.
Second, knock together, say, a FreeBSD or Linux distribution. X11, standard userland, everything.
Third, use their internal OS programmers to turn Cedega into the greatest thing since sliced bread. A -perfect- implementation of the Win32 API on top of Linux.
Fourth, get all the hardware manufacturers on board for drivers. Institute a driver program. Ta-da, everyone has drivers, but only on platforms MS wants to support. IE, x86. OSS driver development continues, but at a slower pace with fewer people actively testing.
Fifth, make the install as painless as a standard Windows install. No text-mode, no kernel boot stuff, just the splash we all know and love(/hate)
Fifth, sell for the price of a Windows license, or a little less. Allow the base OS to be downloaded freely, ala Darwin, but keep the WINE/Win32 API closed and sealed off.
Since their Win32 API is perfect, Visual Studio should run flawlessly. AND, with the proper window manager on X11 (as they will likely do this), it would be visually indistinguishable from standard Windows. Power-users could install Gnome/KDE/fluxbox/windowmaker/whatever, and the Win32 API would still be perfectly available, exportable over the network as any X11 app, etc.
Leverage the community to build the kernel and userland. Use their own people to maintain just the API - keep the total lock-in.
He's already gotten $200M for doing Lord of the Rings. At this point, it's NOT ABOUT THE MONEY.
He got shafted for $100M by New Line. How much is that for the people who didn't make that kind of money, say only $50k when they should have made $75k? For them, that's a lot of money.
At this point, it's the principle of the matter, forcing New Line to behave itself. The money is largely irrelevant.

What's the "The Contradictor" achievement for?
This is called Pascal's Wager, and if you look it up on Wikipedia, it has been very thoroughly discredited by far brighter minds than mine.

I have 10/1 Mbps cable out here in Alberta. If I wanted to lay down $100/mo, I could get 25/1 Mbps. That's kind of silly, though.
Everyone knows the hardedst ascension is a pacifist gnome healer.

One doesn't really accumulate much, overall.

Surprisingly, I both do and don't care.
:)
My current project uses the name="" parameter inside of tags, which isn't part of the standard, but is surprisingly useful anyway.
I also make use of the _ trick for dealing with IE's boneheaded CSS.. which definitely doesn't validate.
Take those two out, and everything does validate. It's not great, but it does work nicely on IE, Moz, Opera, and Safari, which impresses me nicely.

Good lord, man, publish those essays! It's exactly what I would love to be able to read!

I liked Duke Nukem better when he actually had a game on the shelf I could buy.
And when he was called Bruce Campbell.
Really?
Wow.
My copy of QNX 6.3 installed inside Virtual PC 2004 must be illusory.
Hmm.

they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win.
But I've got an interview on Thursday for a place offering $35-$40k CDN.
I can see my house from up here!
