Monkey Island... Day of the Tentacle... Grim Fandango even. LucasArts ruled adventure games niche big time. And Sierra's games were not even 1% close, IMHO. Man... Why don't they make such games anymore? I may be a minority but I (personally) can't care less about all this "texture-mapping", "photo-realistic" sh!t (Realistic?! They must be smoking smth a lot).
As long as MS' systems have that megasilly open file (and directory!) locks for open files I have this to say any Unix bashing S-hole: kiss my buns. What do they mean I can't update my web scripts while server is running? What the $%^# with having no way to rename directory - I don't care that some background task happens to have it as its current dir! That's just bullshit and no - I don't care about market-shares.
No wonder the life makes you feel boxed in. It ties you to an inflexible system. It requires you to pay for daily food. It makes you struggle daily with situations that's more complex than ever... Jonny Gun Shop - there is a way out!
If only Distiller wouldn't crash Win2k oh so often...
And even when it doesn't bluescreen in my experience it's better to reboot it after generation of a bunch of PDFs just to be sure that the mess in kernel structures Distiller driver (usually) causes does not stay there.

CPU Wars

· Score: 1
While there are programs that run slow there will be a demand for faster CPUs (and systems in general). That's it.
The fact that OS X is based on FreeBSD may very well keep this hole from becoming as damaging as it is on Windows. Unless you're logged in as root or an Admin user -- always a good idea to be a 'normal' user whenever possible
Sure, it this case all you can damage is your files - you know you don't need them anyway...
All floating point?! Just great... (BTW: The fact that java lacks quite considerably *even* on fp test is quite telling)
Now would you try smth closer to GUI/DB stuff at least. In my experience java is (alas) a memory gobbling, slow loading abomination with GUI that is... uhm... visual on control repainting no matter how fast your cpu is. And that GUI is disgusting. I blame implementations... Idea per se is quite neat.
To original poster of question in topic: Did you try JBuilder yourself? Maybe I don't understand smth or whatever - but it's completely non-useable, IMHO. Personally I'm awaiting for Kylix thing.
... is to devise - if it's possible, or get a prove that such a system is - alas - impossible of real anonymity on the 'net (two-way) for everyone who (by whatever reasons) wants it. Something as elegant as open-key encryption and - important moment - the system that would be "law-proof" i.e. the thing that can't be banned by design. Smth akin a net of SSL-gateways or whatever. The tricky moment is to put enough "interest" behind this from different parties..
Uhm.. I guess I don't put it quite clearly;)
You see - INet by itself is a thing that every fascist/communist/bastard government (and there're none others left) would like to ban/close/prohibit ASAP. But OTOH there's quite some money interested in keeping it. So - as you see - we have it still alive (more or less). Now step 2 needed: we should get rid of the sniffers/trackers/blackmailers and stuff... I feel there's also can be quite a lot of commercial interest. The task is to direct it in the right way...
Any ideas how's this possible?
PS: Should it be written into constitution that The State (government and stuff) has the same rights as a citizen? That is - if you are not allowed to kill or steal why should gov. have these "rights"? Ahh... ethics. So old-fashioned... :-/

I run it on 1GHz DDR machine and the speed difference is *very* noticeable.
Opera rules! Cheers to developers!

.. which in turn does not mean anything. Does it?
You mean "freed" as in beer?
Ok - I use "position: fixed" (EG), that does not work. What next?
That's what makes the difference.

Monkey Island...
:)
Day of the Tentacle...
Grim Fandango even.

I guess you should try to spend a part of your testing budget on improving your design and programming practices.
... of you company's software is maybe to let developers put their names in that "about" screen.

Storing smth into some dir like /var and then mounting some partition onto it is about as nice, IMHO.

Somehow they still manage to retire after being executed. Well, probably things are not that bad for them..
... crosslicensing? Or joint ventures between the two MS's? Or can "systems" company sell Windows line to "apps" (why not)?
.. is could it make *Earth* breathable?

What you'll get is "Drive cannot be locked for exclusive use" or smth. like that.
