It's the number one book for Earth-bound English-reading carbon-based humanoids on the subject of the C++ computer language in the area of template mastery with a pre-requirement of better than average C++ language facility!
While I agree that it's no one's fault but the person that pushes the button, I don't think it's right to expect that everyone know how everything works.
Yes, if I get into an Indy car, I expect to be killed because I have no idea how it works.
Maybe there should be a manpage section adeptness required:?
Thinking like a bonehead, indeed. I got all focussed on keeping your interactivity up... and probably never finished the manpage to nice in the first place.
Hey, good thing I phrased that as a question, so that I'd get an intelligent answer as to why, rather than get my ass flamed off.
Off to blithely trash my system because I'm too retarded to boot it without pouring hot coffee in the power supply vents.
Pirates, Red Storm Rising, M.U.L.E., Realms of Impossibility, Mail Order Monsters, Castlevania, Super Mario [1-3], Metroid, Jet Set Willy, Hostages, Airborne Ranger...
And those are just home systems, not including what MAME has to offer from the same era from the arcades.
I still play them, they're still good. True, they don't refute the piles of crap: Bop 'n' Rumble, Robocop, Quo Vadis, E.T.
You choose what you remember from back then. Maybe you should have been playing different games.;)

Why the hell would you make a robot that can't fire a gun?
;)
Because in the end, there's nothing you've got a robot would want.
And Mexican scientists discovered the secrets of the sand worm...
maybe we're all just getting smaller and easier to heat?
IF Archive has something to say about that.
Write your own in TADS, Inform, or Hugo.
You are in front of a green tinted monitor, it is 1983...
So these would deliver THC and keep the red in?
I have always wondered how you say "31337" out loud.
I gave up, and just go "three one... you know".
is a new place for my cat to sleep.

I'll second that. Have one myself.
Won't stand toe-to-toe w/ an incandescent for cutting the dark, but it'll sure as hell outlast it.
Smells good, too.
Still on my original batteries, ~18 months in.
...just feed glass to the spider goats?

Thanks for clearing that up.

as a temporary and ugly solution - why not just nice the jobs you don't want hogging the system?
Looking at the demo, it's pretty neat -- though I wonder if you could target phonemes rather than words -- might give you a speed increase.
The idea that as the letters become more probable, the bigger they get - that would be a great UI feature.
I'd like to have the close box on a program that's pissing me off start to grow. I know the power switch does.
whoops... dissonance
guess I spelled Freudian all by myself...
"cognitive dissodance", I don't know what does.
People come up to me and they say "where's your start button?" and I start crying, I don't know what to tell them.
I look, maybe it's on my other virtual desktop, no. I raise a window by hovering over it, not there. I windowshade all my windows - nothing!
You're your own best interface expert.
Bet you could set this up so that it'd give you an alert level summation.
Like, say if CNN is getting pounded you could have it look around and find what else is getting hits: earthquake, DOI info sites, NOAA...
You might be able to get a disaster level and possibly related causation out of it.
Disaster level: red
Possible breaking news: microsoft.com, slashdot.org, theregister.co.uk
(had to get the anti-MS in there somewhere...)
Man, let's get off the security tip and discuss some interesting applications of this.
What draws geeks to virii, network security, etc - like a siren call?
I'm thinking of putting one in my car - have it run my stereo. That'd be sweet.
When are they going to have code libraries that write code to write code to play a game?
Reminds me of RealTimeBattle, only not as flexible.
It's a hall of mirrors!
Calm down, man. Just chip out the fuse and you're good as new. The whole C64 system is a tank. Speaking of same, anybody have a battery mod for a C64?

because it renders the HTML on the fly, without caching.
so, to scroll a page, it has to reload the page and rerender it.
being on 56k is bad enough. i like to forget what 300 baud was like. *shudder*
it all depends on how you define "hilarious"
what do you mean by "define"?
