Instead of say "ultra shade 2000 (tm)" how about "more polys render (tm)". Cuz really well drawn 2d trees/grass/foilage is getting kinda lame [no matter how high the bpp is!]
Really it gets to the point where people are like I want 300fps *and* I want every pixel to be drawn perfectly.
I'd just go for decent poly/s and a card that doesn't catch on fire! Heck I play most games in 16bpp [yuck!... though I recall when 15/16 bpp was dreamy] cuz I concentrate on the game, not how nicely phong shaded some poorly tesselated object looks.
That and as many others said... why not use OpenGL? Or better yet. Why doesn't DirectX just act like a wrapper around OpenGL [or merge OpenGL into DX?] DX does provide input/sound support which nobody bitches about. The 3D support leaves a lot to be desired [and undesired]
What "store"? I just made an off remark to Apu-Meatmart. What I actually meant is ANY low-budget occasionally questionable but often decent restaurant run by non-franchised market droid americans.
It wasn't meant to be a racist remark of any sort. It's the truth that low-budget restaurants often have whitelabels [though I should eat my feet as McD's as whitelabels too occasionally].
Besides I'm no xenophobic. I often spend a shitload more time than I have to in public places. It doesn't mean I like what people do, just that I don't hide from it [nor do I actively go out and try to stop them...]
I dunno if this is a joke or not... Here's an idea... oh oh... respect other peoples culture too.
I'm all for diversity but I'm so utterly pissed off with the troubles most "ethnics" cause. You get the "I don't speak English so I'll cause problems at the stamp counter" people [I work at a pharmacy postal outlet] to the "oh repeat the lesson, I no speaky much English" asswipes in Class [I attend a local community college] to the "we'll drive like a maniac while playing really shitty music" gang-banging darky [and white darky immitators] with stupid go-mufflers.
You want to be "diverse". Great. Just don't do it at the cost of everyone around you. Learn some english, pay attention in class, turn your mo-fo hat around and for jebuz sake learn to drive./rant
Yeah, I meant use ATMs [or ABMs or whatever] at BRANCHES of banks you trust. E.g. the ones indoors. You can still hack those [e.g. inline readers, etc...] but typically they're harder [less likely] to be attacked.
one of my parents friend works at Scotia... apparently they don't like Automatic *Teller* Machines as the machines don't really do all that they can. Or maybe it's just her...
Though my brother did work at Securcor [sp?] and they called them ABMs
Use banks you trust and use ATMs [or ABMs as they are called in Canada] at banks you know and trust . I'd never use a whitelabel ABM since not only do you get a surcharge but it's very easy for it to be a fake.
This isn't foolproof but much safer than using random whitelabels you find in Apu's Mealbar.
True. In the end most projects turn into what's good for the users. But that's just because they want to survive too.
However, most OSS "decisions" are user based where as most CSS "decisions" are market based [and sometimes financially based, e.g. please an investor].
Textbook soft.eng is about making money and how to prevent from being sued [e.g. you do what you agreed todo].
While OSS development [well freelance stuff anyways] tends to be more about actually getting work out the door. Don't like this particular OSS, fix it or find other stuff. E.g. no pandoring to stupid demands of market droids.
If this is a cell that stays in the plow.... oh too fucking bad. It's a job. Your boss wants to make sure you're doing it. Get over it.
It would be a different issue if the plow drivers had to have GPS installed on their personal cell phones but this is probably not the case.
You'd think in a world where unemployement is such a problem people wouldn't bitch and whine over the trivials like this. I'm mean you're on the job. Your location is not private anyways [because you're supposed to follow a route]. The mgmt just wants to make sure you do the work.
What the fuck is a "ghostse"? Is that like some lame attempt at a joke or something? I don't get it. Don't you get that life is finite though? Seriously you just wasted like 3 seconds of your life. You'll never get em back!!!
Again totally off mark. I never said the tools are not good. I said they're not required [and generally not good for newbies who grew up with msdos edit then notepad].
While I don't think I type 80 WPM [I do type quickly but prolly not that fast] I don't find using a mouse a huge problem specially since I typically type on a laptop keyboard which has all it's own problems...
what no canham in your post? Jeez you gave up quicker than I did. Loser. Big L. That's what they will call you from now on. They'll be like "Hey loser, go get me coffee" and "hey loser, go trim my hedges"...
I never said they didn't. Learn to fucking read you stupid mother fucking idiot. Fuck, are you fucking stupid or something?
Fucking bastard. Oh sure emacs is just as easy to use as Textpad... sure that's fucking likely. And why the fuck do people keep using GCC? Cheaters. I fucking use cpp/cc1/as/ld manually cuz I'm a fucking man. I fucking like doing things the hard unintuitive way cuz fuck man, like when I was fucking the man in the fucking 70s I fucking rocked the non-mouse TTY systems. But fuck man, with a 1000MIPS graphics card and 10$ mouse I'm going to still fucking use the same fucking tools from the 70s and like not fucking adjust to the fucking times. Fuck man, gui's my fucking ass. We printed in punch cards when I had it best!

Backing down? I never stepped up!!!
I really do hate their habits. I'm just not burning crosses with a nazi emblem and a "I beat jews" t-shirt.

did I? How could I have done that? Oh my fucking god, no way, you're fucking right... fuck...
Back to elimentory school for me!

Whitelabel means an ATM from a non-bank. E.g. they typically are white and have no label [or some stupid name like JiffyCash etc...].
As for the rest of your comment... you suck and you have poor grammor.

grammer == joke
God damn it peeps.
good catch. I bow before the master. You may be a rude arrogant little prick, but you have proper grammer and that I respect.

Despite the fact this is a troll it did make me laugh.... Shareware version of linux....kernel programming in VB...apache weekend programers...
hehehehe
Clearly your post was meant to insight a flamewar but I think it's just funny. Thanks for the laugh.

And if you don't take it out of your pocket and start taking pictures with it during the film how will they know it's a camera phone?
You still have rights to privacy [well at least from search and siezure] do you not?

I pity thee.
To add to your bit, my laptop which tops out at 1788Mhz sits at 530Mhz 99.99% of the time. It's totally responsive and works fine for WinXP.
The problem is review sites are mostly run by total fucking idiots that must have eyecandy in all aspects of their lives.
Tom
You're just jealous because last night was my turn to be inside you.
You make that sound so negative. Last night when I was in you you didn't seem to be having such a hard time with it.
Tom

Fuck.
I wasn't describing those. And I think I can safely say the GUI in textpad/kate is a helluvalot easier than vim or emacs.
