The retrovirus is harmless.

On: Gene Therapy Cures "Bubble Boy"

The retrovirus is used only as a harmless vehicle for transportation of the good gene. It has an ability to penetrate into cells. Eventually the virus gets destroyed, and the "fixed" gene remains inside.
Gene therapy

Similar method was originally tried on cystic fibrosis patients, but the positive results lasted only for about three weeks, after that repaired cells were replaced back again with the faulty ones.
It seams to be more complicated.

You have got to learn good programming practices!

On: It's Not About Lines of Code

Everybody knows that size DOES mater.

I will give you a good advice: DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT use loop statements. They are very bad. Instead use simple and tried copy and paste, paste, paste, paste, paste, paste, paste, paste. You will observe instant productivity boost. You will gain applause of your management, and maybe some day you will became one of them.

Have a happy LOC programming.

I propose to organize a match between the two code champions Mr. Gates and Mr. Carmack, which would allow Mr. Gates to prove that he is neither a coward nor a liar.

On: Borland C++ For Linux

Maybe they have a reason to believe, that their compiler will produce better optimized binaries.

I would love to see C++Builder for Linux though. It is incredibly good product. I use it for Windows, and love it.

Yes! This is great news for Linux comunity.

Re:Using Linux

On: RTCW Single Player Demo & Linux Binaries

I went through that dilemma already. I have an ATI 7200 SDR 64MB. It rocks on Linux and Windows. The difference in the image quality is clearly visible in higher resolutions, such as 1600x1200. On this territory nVidia is not a competitor to ATI or Matrox. Not yet.

How about this?

if (func1())
err();

if (func2())
err();

if (func3())
err();

return;
}
