  1. 32-bit emulation? on It's (Almost) Hammer Time · · Score: 1

    would a 32-bit emulation mode be plausible on a 64-bit machine? I'm guessing it would be have to be an app at the OS level.

  2. Re:segway = waste of money on Segway Hits the Auction Block · · Score: 1

    Why are people talking about how much a segway costs? It isn't available for consumers yet and I'm sure the selling price won't be the same as the bidding price at amazon.com

  3. Re:Scrabble on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    not sure what scrabble's distribution is, but i've added the code to determine letter distribution. 'e' is in fact the most common letter!

  4. WinME source already available on States Demand Windows Source Code · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I know it's not the latest, but I found the WinME source code on the net a few months ago.

  5. runtime on Quantum Programming with Perl · · Score: 1

    Does it accurately simulate quantum processes's runtimes?

  6. Re:So basically... on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    And could easily be a lot of logic that is not related to Google's db format. For example, checking how many dead links are on a page... this could be useful in a non-google application. Or, more likely, something more exciting than dead link checking.

  7. assorted useful oddities on What Kind of Books do You Want? · · Score: 1

    What about a book (or a whole series) that covers often unknown, but potentially useful oddities. For example, in C++:

    _ is a valid variable name
    __FILE__ and __LINE__ can be used in a #define macro for easy debugging

    the topics are unlimited: C, C++, perl, java, COBOL (j/k), ruby, X, ImageMagick, Linux, Mac, Windows, websites, programming environments (btw, check out http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html for a great free editor), hardware.....

  8. Re:Microsoft just don't get it. on Microsoft Stops New Work To Fix Bugs · · Score: 1

    To an extent, I agree. But with computers, you can do the equivalent of giving the car owners a new, flawless starter that works perfectly instead of the crappy one they have right now. While you should have security in mind when designing, you can always go back and close loopholes and other bugs in software.

  9. Re:Blender in general on Blender Releases Linux 3D Web Plugin · · Score: 4, Informative

    Take a look at the learning path. It helped me get a good grasp on the interface. I haven't used other editors, so I can't say it's better or worse than any.
