Incremental compilation and linking as the developer edits the source code, making compilation appear instant.
Heh. Have you ever compiled Delphi code? It compiles applications with several hundred thousand lines in a few seconds. No time for you to go get some coffee.
The VCL has evolved a bit, but no major architectural changes. The IDE has evolved a lot, with large changes. At first sight, some people like the new IDE and some people don't - but eventually everyone sees it's a lot better.
The main enhacements are code productivity tools - refactorings, integrated unit tests, and some new language features. D2006 produces much faster binaries as well.
I'd say yeah, it's worth upgrading. Try the trial version before to make sure.
Delphi ain't your father's Pascal. It's a modern, object-oriented interoperable language. The main advantage isn't the language itself, but the class library (VCL) and the form designer, which is the best tool around to build user interfaces (ask Skype), while still having the ability of having your code neatly encapsulated in classes separated from the presentation layer.
Anyway, Delphi is only half of the picture here. There's Turbo C++ and C# offerings along with the native Delphi and Delphi for.Net offerings. if that's your language of choice, you can use C++ with the VCL (or for plain WinAPI applications, if you feel inclined).
Basically, the explorer versions are advanced IDEs for these languages, free of change, allowing commercial development. There's your motivation.
Looks like we shaved off a measly twelve bytes. So much for all the extra overhead that C automatically incurs, eh?

Was the *same* false positive key found three times? I mean, why was it processed again? I thought that the keyserver would only assign blocks to clients work with if they weren't assigned to anyone else. If the assigned keyspace was exausted and the right key wasn't found, only then re-assign blocks that weren't returned.
Make the word "virus".
Yeah, but once they discover he forbidden word, it will be really funny see they having to avoid mentioning it in the news :
This new v1rus is set to spread once the word "v1rus" is out.
The camera cant be changed in a game, at least not by a driver, because it hasnt got anything to do with any info stored on the video card.
Usually, a 3D video board, half of the memory is used for textures and half for graphics. The actual game geometry is stored in RAM. So, unless a hack is written for a specific game, knowing exactly how it handles the world geometry and where (and how) it stores the camera data, you cant change the camera angle. It should be done before the frame is computed. The driver just renders the data given to it (so it can mess with transparency or wireframe it) but you already got the scene there. No changing camera angles.
Now, what I'm really waiting for is for someone to write a proxy that can dynamically rewrite pages as they come through an http tunnel
What about WebWasher? That's what I have been using and it does a great job on literaly striping out of the html most banners, pop-up ads, and is quite configurable.
Woah, calm down. Where did I force anyone to port anything?? I am a game programmer, and I am working with this great engine right now. I just thought I could let you know about this great free engine so others could benefit from it as much as I did, and quite possibly contribute to it.
If you actually read further on the page, you would see in the previous day post:
I'm open-sourcing the V2 codebase either today or tomorrow. What I'm going to do first however, is release the old DJGPP trees from the public work-in-progress release of V2 (or maybe it was a version or so after that, I forget). It will have a few things missing, such as the CD audio code, and perhaps the FLI code, I'm not sure yet--this is all due to the fact that the source will be released under the GPL license.
That means what was released today is an old version, and the new one - "(which actually work! *gasp*)," - will come in a few days. Well, I guess we should wait and see.
In a similar topic, Jet3D has recently released its source (its the 2.0 version of the open-source Genesis 3D engine. A CVS tree is being set up, and a linux port of this breathtaking engine would be great!
Son't forget to check out the best 3D Engine nowadays, Genesis 3D. It's open source and still hasn't been ported to linux. Its new demo is simply jawdropping, but don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself.
I really doubt its usefulness (finding aliens?) and all this processing power should be used for something more useful, like finding large primes or compiling win2000 : )
His point is that the FAQ says every emulator is illegal, and "the only purpose of an emulator is to play illegal roms copied off the internet". Super Game Boy is an emulator, so by NOA point of view it's illegal too.

Turbo Delphi is the equivalent of Turbo Pascal, only the language has evolved. As for Prolog, hmm, I don't think that's going to be making a return.

From the article, after the first try in asm:

If the assigned keyspace was exausted and the right key wasn't found, only then re-assign blocks that weren't returned.

What did they expect? Google can't read minds yet.

Almost a year ago (in the beggining of april, to be more exact) they announced this breakthrough technology. I'm not sure why it isnt in use now...
Dont you love april fools?
...is the messagebox that reads : "Please save your work. This copy of MS Office will autodestruct in 10,9,8..."
Maybe with this tech 3dfx can make a voodoo5 small enough to fit inside my computer case.. :)

More people should try that one :

Yeah right.
