You can't really comment on the whole "Apple does nothing for game developers" until you know exactly what the man asked for. If it's insane stuff like "implement DX10 and the Windows API, and equip every computer with at least dual nVidia 8800GTS 2GB", I can understand Apple. On the other hand, if it's reasonable thought, such as shipping SDL with the OS...
Windows 4: "Oh, man. The previous one was garbage, but this one is making me physically ill." Windows 5: "What the hell have you done? Delete it! Delete it!" ... Windows 95: "Fuck it, we have to release this steaming pile of crap now.
Surely I can't be the only person in the world who writes documents in two languages at once? Tons of people from Sweden write documents with a mixture of Swedish and English. So no, you're not alone.
C produces fast, tight code that so far, C++ and C# can't even begin to match. C++ is just C with a lot of baggage, a great deal of which you can implement in C in a completely controllable, transparent and maintainable manner.
Wow. You must have had some really shitty software engineers. It's very likely that you can create C++ code that is as fast or faster than C. Yes, I said it. Implementing virtual inheritance and method overloading in plain C is doable, but it will be very complex. Templates? Don't even want to think about it.
C++ is easier to write, almost as portable, but produces applications with large footprints, inherited, unfixable problems inside non-transparent objects (like Microsoft's treeview, to name one), and a considerable loss of speed as compared to a coder who has a good sense of just what the C compiler actually does (which usually means a C coder that has assembly experience, intimate knowledge of stacks and registers and heaps and so on.)
I have no idea what the MS Treeview problem is, but once again - the programmers that you have worked with must have sucked balls. I'm an old C coder, with some solid x86 assembler knowledge. As you say, it's possible to get very high performing applications using C. However, why would I do that, when I can create code that is just as fast and much more readable by using C++? Yes - even for embedded development, which is my dayjob.
Last year while on a gig, we managed to lock in the keys to our car. After three hours, the singers girlfriend showed up with the spare key, so we could get the drummer out.
Sorry, that might be correct for Denmark, but not for the other nordic countries. Population density in the US is 31/km2. Denmark is very dense with 128.48/km2, Sweden has 20/km2, and Finland 16/km2.
Meshuggah uses a standard 4/4 beat. However, the riffs usually don't synchonize exactly with the beat, which created the feeling that everything is totally out of whack.
Listen to the song you linked again, and focus on the drums this time instead of the guitars. Notice how the bass drum almost always accentuates the guitars? Good, now ignore it too. You now listen to the hihat, cymbals and snare dum. THIS is where you will hear it - Tomas Haake is playing a very basic rock rythm to form the foundation for all the technical mayhem that goes on around him.
Meshuggah isn't really ment to be analyzed. Either sit down and enjoy the musical experience, or get up and destroy.
Intel Viiv: A multimedia solution. AMD LIVE!: A MULTIMEDIA SOLUTION WITH A BROKEN CAPS LOCK ROFL LOL!!!!1!!one!
And to get around the lameness filter (please ignore) - I fear hedgehogs. The little bastards are everywhere, just waiting to kill med as soon as I set foot outside of the basement that my mother locks me in every evening.
An interesting thing to note here... The Bluetooth standard was developed by Ericsson, the swedish company that manufactures mobile phones and phone switching systems. They also have the most complete and reliable Bluetooth implementation in their phones. However, they are NOT listed as one of the companies being sued.
The real power behind Gentoo is not the ability to recompile all your packages with the -fzomgwtffast flag, but the ability to disable and enable specific features for all packages. Let's say I want a simple server for data storage and printing from Windows clients - Samba with Cups support. Gentoo allows me to install this without X11 and 140 different Gnome packages for some stupid control panel that will never be used. Want KDevelop but only support for C++ because you will never ever touch Fortran? Just specify "-fortran" and no application will ever add support for it.
Gentoo is about flexibility, and the ability to create a system with the features you want and need - nothing else. I use a very modest set of flags (-march=k8 -O2 -pipe) for my system, simply because I know that quadruping the compilation time to gain 1% performance probably won't generate a speedup anyway, since the slowest part of my system is me.
I don't know about the rest of the EU, but games bought in Sweden are english. It's our second language, taught from third grade or so, which makes it rather logical. Some games offers a language choice: english, french, german or spanish. Aren't all games like this? Information from residents in.de,.fr and.es would be interesting.
But the porn industry makes more money than the TV, Music, and video game industry combined.
Can we please stop the lies about the porn industry, please? All of the porn industry combined doesn't really make that much money. Try to name one company in the porn industry that is within the Fortune 500. You can't, because there is none.
Hate to break it to you, but the porn industry isn't bigger than Haliburton.
I have a full-time job, and play on the Horde side on a normal server (warrior and priest at lvl 60). As you mention, I have to prepare dinner at around dinner time, and can't play all night because I have to get to work the next morning. This gives support to the impression that the Horde has more mature players.
Sure, I have a character on the Alliance side too, and run into a few good players there. The sad part is that most of them say "this is just a toon to get to know the other side, I play Horde usually", and all of a sudden you realize you're speaking with someone you have done hundreds of raids with.
Even my girlfriend gave up on the Alliance and started a druid on the Horde side, simply because of the immaturity and inability to follow orders.
Installing KBattleship in Gentoo, with no previous KDE packages installed, would give you three things: kdelibs, libkdegames and kbattleship. If the dependency system on your Linux distribution tries to pull in more, bug the package maintainers.
You will NOT take your vote confirmation with you. The machine will print it, hand it to you and you then put it in the box sitting right next to the machine.
Where is the logic in that? If I can spend one hour five days per week on a game, why should that be worth less than a person that spends five hours one day per week?
PAM is a userspace application. Linux is the kernel, or the thingamob that runs all of your applications. They are totally separate.
The application named Emacs is NOT inside the Linux kernel. The application named MySQL is NOT inside the Linux kernel. The application named PAM is NOT inside the Linux kernel.
They are all APPLICATIONS. Which means they do NOT run inside the kernel. Do you understand now why Linux doesn't use the Sleepycat DB libraries?

Just a theory...
Except for the TRUE professional audio engineers. You know - the ones who have spent absurd amounts of money on Pro Tools gear.

...who misread that as 'pantless cancer drug'? I was slightly confused there for a while.

It's obviously scheduled for 6:th of April 2010.
