Re:IBM should do a Linux distro!

On: IBM's Upcoming Linux Ad Campaign

But not for an intel machines, there are just too many of those. They should only do it for their s390's and their ppc machines.

Re:Direct3D is to blame

On: Gamespy on Linux Gaming

But now someone has created a clone of Apple's QuickDraw3D called Quesa (LGPL).

It runs over OpenGL (I think also DirectX, but I could be wrong.).

Re:Sad

On: NASA Shuts Down X-33, X-34 Programs

One thing is that Bush wants to spend more money than he Gore would have; he does not want to save SS but make it broke. He also wants the US to be even broker.

Sad

On: NASA Shuts Down X-33, X-34 Programs

This is just sad; we can see that Bush will put us into a new Dark ages.

Bush should actually be putting more money towards deficate, not tax cuts, and keep the money flowing to science research.

I see now where Bush is getting the money for his "tax" cuts, from science reseach.

Thanks,

Re:SDL & OpenGL

On: Carmack on D3 on Linux, and 3D Cards

Yes because Quesa is just really frameworks, that sit upon renders, one is OpenGL; I think there is a render for DirectX. There are also cartoon renders and high quality renders (for final show).

Re:KDE: one of the most successful OSS projects

On: KDE 2.1 Is Out

Remote Objects are now big with the Mac OS X (aka OpenSTeP aka NeXTSTeP aka mach kernal).

Almost of the remote objects came from research from CMU.

On: Carmack on D3 on Linux, and 3D Cards

One thing is that I am not a linux person, I am a BSD/Mac person, and linux is just a hack like Windows is.

Physics

On: Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering?

Just major in Theoratical Physics, all the advances in Computer Science can from physicsts. The Internet, the web, email, newsgroups, mailing lists, and all the cool stuff in computer science. They need the fast computers and they are the ones who use them first.

Diablo is just another chiristan name for the deveal, so they cannot claim to the name. Thanks, Andrew Pinski

Re:Another non cross platform API/GUI

On: KDE 2.1 Is Out

I will not be writing it for the x86, I will be writing for X-Windows, which is very protable (any ways Darwin runs on X86 so they don't have to do any kernel hacking.).

Re:Another non cross platform API/GUI

You did not even bothered to read my comment, so you should be moded down!

Re:Developers can drive it

On: Carmack on D3 on Linux, and 3D Cards

Bill never coded in his life, he just stealed his code, from any one he could get his hands on.

Re:SDL & OpenGL

On: Carmack on D3 on Linux, and 3D Cards

Why use OpenGL, when Quesa (a QuickDraw 3D clone) is much better, I will be soon starting to write the Carbon (Mac toolbox) API to be used on top of X-Windows.

Re:Another Multimedia API

On: GStreamer: Full-featured Multimedia for Linux

Quicktime can read avis and mpeg, it is extenable and even the gui is.

Its scope is even broader than Gstreamer.
Quicktime's API is cleaner, and I would expect we could write a complatible one, like MESA does for OpenGL.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

Another Multimedia API

On: GStreamer: Full-featured Multimedia for Linux

Why do we need another one, why don't just use
Apple's, I will help out if need be, I can make a
website, the QuickTime API is on of the best
Multimedia API out there.

Thanks,

On: Apple Moves Again To Squash Look-Alikes

Apple did invent FireWire (around 1989, I think) so you are wrong about that.

Not MPEG 4

On: Copying A DVD To A CD?

Not real MPEG 4 unless it use the file format for MPEG 4 which is also Quicktime's. Also the new standard was just approved in May for MPEG 4 and also the there was a new pdf for quicktime's file format.
PS: Quicktime has a file format and is also an API.
Quicktime is standard, and codec are not.

Found the problem with Visual Studio.

On: Coding Classes & Required Development Environments?

In C this should work, C99 standard:
void main()
{
int i = 0, a = 0;
for(int i=0;i10;i++)
a++;
}

well it does not, it only works in C++ and not in Visual Studio.
