I don't know about Tom Hall(Anachronox?), but if John Romero is leaving and Warren Spector is taking over, ION Storm should become much more of a player in the videogame market.
the link to the story is just to the sites newspage, and now has a story about awards. to get to info about the layoffs you need to scroll past that, the link IS correct
yeah, i know a lot of uber-geeks who use pico for its simplicity, just like they use unix for its simplicity.
wtf are you talking about?
'uber-geeks' would need a decent editor with advanced functions such as vi* or emacs, for doing advanced work, whereas pico is basically 'open a file, edit it line by line manually, save file'
First of all, it's an outright lie. FreeBSD certainly has a market share. Ever heard of Yahoo!, Miguel?
I have to agree. When compared to the likes of Linux, one company using FreeBSD is certainly a very large marketshare --.1 % perhaps? I know BSD has a good marketshare, I am simply pointing out the stupidity of that comment.
larger than X? and what is 'X'? what libraries are included for 'X'? many GUI applications use libraries which could be considered 'non-X', so is it really that amazing?
punkbuster does not work
reasons:
1. not intended to yet
the current focus is getting it stable, not yet stopping all cheats
2. not wide use
almost 0 servers run this in required mode
3. lack of updates
recently(read about it at crossfire.counter-strike.net) a anti-cheats CS page posted cheats after waiting I believe 3 weeks for valve and punkbusters response(he emailed them first) and getting none.
its a good system, but would be much better if valve implemented something similar themselves built in and gave a shit about their customers past getting paid
is the people who say 'oh well, you can't stop it, so lets not do anything about it'.
Gooseman of CS has said himself that stopping cheating on the windows platform is nearly impossible.
It IS possible. The manufacturers simply do not put enough well-thought out effort into it, allowing cheating to take place.
Why not build a punkbuster like program into the game that will check for updates and patch itself, that way cheats are always automatically stopped? Sure there would be problems, but a model like that with the right design could work.
for the older kids, i would recommend you use a language OTHER then BASIC, for all things holy.
I recently got out of a BASIC class that was a requirement to go higher.. UGH.
It is the most boring shit ever. Maybe smalltalk as another post stated or python with some GUI.
Really.. everytime I see 'REM' now I get bad flashbacks of that class. I had a 95%+, so it was because of the language.
Anybody else notice how stores like Walmart and Target are pushing the Music CD-Rs more and more? Hmmmm.
Oh, I don't know, maybe CD-Rs are pushed heavily because there is a higher demand then ever before? WTF does this have to do with that? Gotta love paranoid geeks..
the answer to the topic "Elegant Email Encryption for Everyone?" is "just sign your emails"
Why is this +4? I'm fairly sure Echelon won't have a problem reading plaintext messages with a sig, how about you?do you think someone who doesn't care about encryption will give a shit to verify a sig?
Greece - A new math theorem is out, that allows the computation of angles in a triangle.
This theorem was created by a 'Pythagoras'.
It is entitled the 'Pythagorean theorem'.
The algorithm, patent free, is available below.

I didn't know that ximian was the main developer of either GNOME or KDE :-)
wow, the GPL is being violated in China.. perhaps these are some bigger issues from China:
Outlaw group is mass killed
tibet situation, caused by China
see what a Chinese 'criminal' has done to deserve jail
Chinese government illegally harvests organs
obviously a lot of problems exist in China, anyone interested should visit human rights in china

how come i see about 5 posts that state this, and they all come in a row? stop ripping off other people to try and be a karma whore
then what place do BBS's take?

..." because 95% of the time the person is technically wrong.

Censorship can be legalized. I'm fairly sure that the Chinese government is not making illegal acts in its own country when it censors.
btw,
I hate the phrase "technically

How will this be any better then MySQL or PostgreSQL ?
haha. so witty. never seen the 'x is patented' joke before.

the title of this movie seems to be 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider'
so, is it:
'Tomb Raider' or 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider' ?
yes but franky:
Xena looks very manly
Lara is very hot
Lara>Xena

Cheating can be stopped.
pure genius!
get a newbie, teach them the hardest concepts!
calculus should be the first math taught!
12th grade will be addition of single digits!
how about you make it so that you learn assembly, then low level c, then basic?! i think the AP class should be MicrosoftBasic!
stop trying to be karma whore and THINK.
