ie, like Legacy for doom? I picked that up last week, and pulled out my old Doom archives, and have just been having a BLAST with it. Aside from the fact that none of the sprites are 3-d, so the monsters and junk all appear flat, it makes the game render a lot like Q2 era (i think, I haven't had my copy of Q2 since like 1998 or so), and makes it feel as good as Q1.. (Q1 plays better than anything else. period. ever.)
I see that this "Torque" has "Award Winning Netcode". Exactly what group of people goes around and gives out awards to Netcode? And what is the name of the award they got? and how does it compare to the other netcode awards that might be out there?
Try something fairly simple, and written sometime in modern history. Screen, Nethack, and Vim probably predate ANSI. (Not ANSI C, ANSI the standards organization) *grin*
5 informative? I'd figure a 5 Funny, or a -1 Troll.. sheesh.
Better stop calling them the Wachowski brothers. We hear "Matrix" co-creator Larry Wachowski is ready for the sex-change operation that will finalize his conversion to a woman named Linda.
Last May, he wore women's earrings at "The Matrix Reloaded" premiere. At the time, the estranged husband of an alleged Los Angeles dominatrix told newspapers that Wachowski was a client of his wife. The source said he had seen Larry "in her bondage room...lying there in a dress, no panties and a blond wig."
Several "longtime friends" say Larry - who is in the middle of a divorce with his wife, Thea Bloom - is now ready for the operation, reports the Chicago Sun Times.
The agent for Larry and his brother and collaborator, Andy Wachowski, did not return calls yesterday
one of my friends today was telling me that the new yahoo messenger beta for windows (note: there have been like 1111222333453457 updates for the Windows client since the last change to the Unix or Mac clients) voice chat is implemented via this.
example: slashdot's main page has the login box. It asks your browser if you have a session already, your browser says "why, no i don't", slashdot sends a cookie. Slashdot now knows that you have a session that doesn't know what it's logged in as, since it's not logged in.
well, consider that the waiting list for iPods through this past xmas was about 38 miles long... i doubt they had even produced 4 million of them prior to this time last year.
I saw that implemented on some sort of music player software that I was browsing on Freshmeat, a long time ago. I think it may have been a CD player app, or maybe it was a general purpose audio or even multimedia player. Could never get the damn program to work, so I never got to check it out.
Actually, it could be a rather ingenious thing. Rather than Microsoft litigate Apple to death, put Apple in a position where they want to litigate against Microsoft, THEN cause Apple to drain it's resources to the point where it becomes no longer viable. Maybe.
Or just use the caches that are built into the hard drives and the operating systems. Add more RAM to the system. And, like someone else said, if it's still slow, add more RAM. 2-4GB.
(provide more statistics than just how many records are in the user database, and we can probably help you a little bit. Otherwise, we're pretty crippled. With 280,000 user records, it doesn't sound like there's a whole hell of a lot happening on it to choke off a powerful machine, not if the software that's accessing things is done right. So, need more info.)
I'm familiar with "accessibility", but not "accessability"... is that some sort of new software package that IBM had that is now opensourced to the Mozilla foundation?
Slashdot Mirror
so, what you're saying is, we've got synthetic caffeine now?
I'll stick to the $1 pseudoephedrin pills available at most gas stations + a bottle of mt. dew or jolt to wash it down. Thanks!
This depends on what you mean by "is". /I did not have sex with that woman. //I did not fork this source!
Website confusing as all get out between what's a "free game" and what's an "open source game, gotta go buy the data files"

isn't it Linda Wachowski now?
Let me ask all of Slashdot something:
Can you go and buy Mac OS X for X86 right now?
*waits for answer*
Quit yer fuckin bitchin then!
but without all the various hardware that makes a mac a mac, at three times the PC speed, you're still not approaching the smoothness of a Mac
uh.. do you know of anyone who has gone out and PURCHASED MacOS X86?
Didn't think so.
Tell then, they can prevent people from having it.
one of my friends today was telling me that the new yahoo messenger beta for windows (note: there have been like 1111222333453457 updates for the Windows client since the last change to the Unix or Mac clients) voice chat is implemented via this.
Can someone explain to me how this is the "next logical step"? Seems really really lame to me.
Well, that's a pretty darn good reason why most gpl developers fail miserably in the commercial software world....
Yes, agreed.
Exactly why IS it that you want to GPL the code?
Will ANYONE benefit by having it GPL?
Difficult to present a sales pitch only knowing what we want to achieve, and not having any inkling of the steps inbetween.

Doubt it, but it's possible.
Any PHP site that has user login ability is going to likely have to do that. Think about it.
xoftspy and ad-aware tend to remove tons and tons of cookies.
Personally, I leave them accepted. I don't give a crap if some database somewhere infers what my computer has been browsing.
I use Opera, which doesn't normally have it's cookies infiltrated by xoftspy and ad-aware.
But Opera kicks ass anyway.
Or just use the caches that are built into the hard drives and the operating systems. Add more RAM to the system. And, like someone else said, if it's still slow, add more RAM. 2-4GB.
Upgrade from the 486, it's about time.

Before my site went down last week for no obvious reason (and is still down), my highest traffic was from:
MSNbot
Googlebot
Yahoobot
Opera
Something Mozilla based
IE didn't even register.
