  1. Re:Really A great Thing on Quake 2 Source Code Released Under The GPL · · Score: 2, Informative

    err no they where polygon based hence the big differance in gameplay between doom and quake.
    doom had sprites whish were fast and you could have lots of monsters which was cool
    where as quake had to calculate all these polygons for each and every monster
    which meant they had to cut back on the number of monsters you would encounter in a level which made the game pretty crummy to play in comparision

    > Each item that is imported has a specific tax section in the code, and will taxed according to that code. Now I don't know what will get hit harder but there should be a difference between the import tax rate for video and software ( both on DVD )

    huh. Not in Australia there isn't. Ever heard of the great beast in Australia known as the GST

    1 flat rate of 10% on everything except food, medicines and other such things.

  5. Re:Is a CD music or software? on Are DVDs Software Or Films? · · Score: 1

    > Almost every commercial DVD contains software on it anyway. When you pop a DVD in a windows based machine, a little *program* called 'autorun.exe' - which is a piece of software for those of you who don't know - is executed.

    really well thats interesting because i have 2 out of 11 disks with software on them and they definatly didnt have autorun.exe

    both are from village roadshow
    The Matrix (WB) &
    U571 (Universal)

    ps I'm in Australia and these are the region 4 disks been talked about

    So my linux router running 2.4.4 with an uptime of 122 days in another 2 months will become stable.

  9. Re:Allocate by region based on population. Leave r on ARIN IPv6 Allocation Policy · · Score: 1

    Just guess what would happen in Australia
    1 Continent 1 Country

    > 16 bits for nation, that's 256 nations per continent (we've already specified the continent) I'm not sure what continent has the most nations, but it's no where near 256.

    actually thats 65536

    hmm dont need those bits for other countries add it to the cities one 16+24 = 40 bits
    2^40 = 1*10^12 or 1,099,511,628,000 cities
    population is less than 20,000,000
    cities / population = 54975
    cool i now own 54 thousand cities
