Don't have a cow man, keep your mind open. Just read a little bit about why Java with JIT beats C/C++ in some speed benchmarks and you might learn something. JIT's have different and keep higher level representations of programs, using this information then they optimise in ways a static old style C/C++ compiler can only dream of. Think of things like Transmetas Crusoe and the recent article about a software CPU emulator running fasters than the same hardware CPU.

Wow I love moments like these, Im guessing you're not stupid so I'll put the blame down to the English language. The SENDER is the SPAMMER, thats the DEFINITION. Sending unsolicted email is SPAM! The people who send get rich quick, apart from being greedy and stupid are also SPAMMERS. Microsoft did not send the email, therefore MS are not spammers. In terms of cause and effect, you pressing OK was the cause, the email going out was the effect, ie no MS involvement there at all.
Thankyou and here endeth the lesson.
MS should include the pleb version of Visual C++ with every copy of their O/S's they sell. That way MS would win friends and influence ppl, and there would be many more WinAPI programmers.
Thats one benefit of living in a Geographically small country with a high population density, infrastructure changes can be more rapid.
The disadvantage of course is having to live like sardines, in a country that equates confidence with rudeness. Having to queue for fast food, having to sleep in line overnight for tickets to see a Van Gogh exibition:-)
I was wondering if you are thinking much nowdays about persistant worlds for your games, it seems you are nearing the grail of visual realism, but what about the things that go on behind the scenes. NPC's are obvious, will they 'get on with their lives' when you aren't interacting ( gibbing! ) with them? Social groups, natural occurances, things that make our world a rich and complicated one. Sometimes its nice to have a blas t in what seems like a realistic Wild West town facade, but I'm really hanging out for complex worlds that surprise the shit out of me when I do something different.
cheers and thanks for the cool stuff you've done so far lcs

You may have been asked this many times before but as I'm not an avid reader of all things open I would have missed it.
Do you ever tire of the hero worship? Of having people agree with things you said, just because you said them?
This is one of the things that annoys me most as an observer, I find it hard to take the Linux community seriously because the most vocal people seem to be the dogmatics. The same thing happend in the Amiga community, although its died off so much now it reminds me of the early days.
You are a nonothing premature ejaculator, if you bothered to look into the background of the CSIRO you would realise they have a history of inovation and quality research/devl. How do you know what the 300K will be spent on, it might just be for first option to license the tech, could be for one researcher to be onboard @ CSIRO, could be anything.
God, now I have a headache, and I'm about to be flamed because I was rude, and I hate rudeness generally, see what you've done, you've caused inconsistencies in my reality.

You know as well as I do that's not his point. He through his posts in the past has shown himself to be a fairly perceptive and intelligent social commentator. For you to take as literal his writing shows that you have misinterpreted his idea. I believe he has not set himself up as the supreme judge of geek(tm), just a watcher of things geeky, and in this case the movie Matrix, and the amporphous collection of people identified as geeks seem to have intersected.
If you want to judge me in any way, thats ok with me, you're entitled.
As a general rule, if something seems stupid, and is written by someone who previously has not shown themselves to be particularily moron like, you can probably assume an ulterior motive.
Then again, he probably likes the read of his own writing, and I'm almost certainly way off the mark:-)
Hmm I don't know if I'm a geek, if everyone else is I don't wanna be:-)
but I know what movies I like the best;
* Ferris Buellers day off. * Shoreshank redemption * A perfect day|world? * Groundhog day * The princess bride
All button pushers to some degree, and they all pressed my buttons, maybe I'm just simple. Could probably be considered Geek movies as well, if you subscribe to the idea that Geeks love meloncholia.

"If intel made brains, sheep would be running the world"
Sooo... what's your point, some people can see this, some people are oblivious to it. Thats the way people are, are you trying to educate them? Methinks that's pretty arrogant of you if you are.
I suggest you are trying to stirr the pot yourself:-)

How do u use vs6 for linux devl? It produces win32 code. Surely u don't use a compiler package purely for its editing env?

Many ppl who would be interested in coding as a hobby probably don't know about Cygwin.
Bundling a cut-down version of something is not anti-competitive, remember turbo-basic and gwbasic
co-existed at one time.
Nice to see you two responding without the typical MSSux mentality.

We'd have winners all round! Woohoo!

Your indenting style "sux reel bAd do0d!" :-)
Just remember, girls who will spend the night with you ARE the sluts ( by definition ) so don't discount them :-) Morality fucks up alot of people.
Don't forget it gave your smurfs a place to live :-)
Are you insane, you never mentioned Peter F Hamilton and Vernor Vinge ( read by Carmack no less )

OK, thanks for the info.
I should correctly say
"A Manson girl via Rob Zombie"
As Rob was the creative force behind the band, and would have written all the music.

Why dont you change the route to this ip addr?
If add the route via 127.0.0.1 then your machine will not know how to get there and reply quickly.
maybe...
You are so stupid, so stupid this can't even be a troll. Think about it like this
You are one person with one gun, bad guys are legion with many guns, what are you chances in a country with guns?
