Dunno if anyone noticed but some of the dialogs don't have a cancel button, or similar that will close the dialog. For example the Tools>Extensions dialog. All you can do is uninstall, update or check out more extensions.
There should be a close/cancel button. How can the application assume there is a "close" provided by the WM.
How about scons? I must admit I hardly used all of autotools' potential as they were quite complicated, so I can't say if scons offers anything even close to what autotools had.
And what is the deal with the sort(,) as a free-standing function? Following OO principles, shouldn't the vector object v know how to sort itself with a call to v.sort()?
Not necessarily. If you have multiple types of containers and you can write a single sort that can sort all those types then why implement it in all of them instead of just once.
Here is an article that deals with the question which functions should be members and which shouldn't. It uses the std::string as an example which has a lot of methods that turns out shouldn't have to be.
They've highly publicized this man's creations, which weren't originally signed, it appears. In other words, they're no different from the originals, and while he isn't getting credit in the game, he isn't getting credit on the street either.
He's getting credit, cause if the graffiti in question says "DAZE" then the whole graffiti is his signature. People into graffiti will know who painted it. If it's some abstract piece I am quite sure there is "DAZE" somewhere in there or something else he uses to sign his work. For many graffiti is a fame-game so the artists want people to know they made the piece in question in one way or another.
The reason for getting the highest FPS possible in the quake line of games is physics. All(?) of them have enabled one to run faster and jump higher with FPS above certain limit making certain trick jumps easier and otherwise impossible jumps possible. I think in Q2 it was 90 FPS and Q3 there were various limits, one being 125 FPS and other being 300+ FPS.// ville
It's starting to sound the project wasn't intended to be multiplatform from the getgo. Wouldn't they have chosen other means of playing video and sound or written their own right away?
Yesterday I saw on TV that the Finnish parliament is upgrading its computers to Windows XP and training was to commence soon as well.Wasn't very specific but I guess it meant the desktop machines.
In any case someone is interested in Finnish parliament: http://www.eduskunta.fi/efakta/index01.htm couldn't see anything regarding Windows XP upgrade though.// ville

When is 6650 going to enter the market? If I am not mistaken these phones are entering the market next summer or something, or that's what I heard on Finnish news anyway. So Hantro has ~8 months to sell their software before introducing something new. I must admit I wasn't paying much attention to the news so it is very well possible I misheard it.// ville
I never could see where the skill lies in games that rely upon your character having some skill level and not the player.
In FPS games, or online flightsim, it's impossible to buy the skills required to be a good player that's why I personally like those more than the RPG types.// ville
Wish Carmack would write a game using SDL. Dunno how feasiable it really would be as I haven't followed how working the different ports are on Win32, Mac and Linux.
If writing a game using SDL on all three platforms could be done I think Carmack would be the one to show it for rest of the industry. Seems like he has quite a following even among rest of the developers.// ville
A quite realistic WWII flightsimulator called Aces High could suite you. It is free to download from the internet and allows free 8 player head to head ( the last I checked it out anyway ). The only downside I can think is that it requires a joystick to fly and is Microsoft Windows only.
In my previous work place, the day an anti-virus program was installed to my computer IE started to take really long time to display the right-click menu.
Removing the anti-virus program brought back the speed. I think the program we used was F-Secure Anti-Virus.
quake +set fs_game osp or loading the osp mod from the ingame menu. And then in console
/demo
The demo was located in ~/.q3a/baseq3/demos.
Loading the osp mod, either way, commmand line or ingame menu and then trying to play the demo from the ingame menu doesn't work at all for me, not even invisible enemies.
I have debian, it's my first serious try at using linux after using Windows for years. I have tried RedHat 6.2 and Mandrake 7.2 briefly for few days. Right now I have the test11 kernel, XFree86 4.0.1 and Quake3 running at 90FPS. I have to admit it's thanks to the help of #linuxhelp and #debian. But I recon I would have needed same ammount of help from #redhat or #mandrake to get all of those things set up on any of the distributions.
I recall a case here in Finland that ruled the 'void warranty if opened' labels useless on computer cases, because it is required from the end user to open the case in order to install new hardware.

He should have shown the same thing working on Windowns and OS X to not stress that only Linux is capable of illegally decrypting DVD.

Linus would probably spell it with "you're" instead of "your".

And emacs takes up 95% of those distros that come with it.
