  2. Re:Wait... on Google Launches Summer of Code · · Score: 1

    Oh I know, but after I come home I'm not in the mood to look at code anymore. Its kind of depressing. Besides, the project I've been working on on my free time doesn't appear to mesh with their suggestions.

  3. Wait... on Google Launches Summer of Code · · Score: 1

    So instead of hacking (in the machette sense) in perl all summer in an internship I could be writing code in a language of my choice for a project of my choice? (more or less). For money? You google people have to tell me about these things sooner.

    Well yes and no. It depends on whether or not you consider teh first assignment to a variable to be it's declaration. If not then no, you don't need to declarare the variable either. The compiler will just spend more time running up and down the AST.

    Oh god did that ever come out wrong.
    C++:

    char s[14];

    Java:

  10. Re:Is this good? on O'Reilly on the Virtues of Rexx · · Score: 1
    Yes, if you are trying to be confusing. Having a case-insensitive language also doesn't take away your ability to have those cues either. You can still write CONSTs Functions and variables, you just can't have a CONST with the same name as a Function or variable, which is a good thing anyway, because that's needlessly confusing
    MYBIGNUM = 1000;

    MyBigNum( x ) {
    return MYBIGNUM + x;
    }

    MyBigNum(myBigNum);

    Are these supposed to be positive points? Because it kind of flies in the face of coding best practices...

    Don't like perl either then, do you?

  13. Re:Doctor Who MMORPG on Concepts That Should Be Games? · · Score: 1

    But then how is this Dr. Who, and not a MMORPG version of Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?

  14. Re:Doctor Who MMORPG on Concepts That Should Be Games? · · Score: 1

    Good thing the TARDIS has it's own pocket dimension. You'll need a parrallel universe to hold all the people who would want to be the Doctor's companion. Not everything can (or should be) made into an MMORPG. Perhaps a nice single-player adventure game based on Dr. Who. You could like travel through time, solving problems and like stuff. Yeah.

  15. Re:Games from books on Concepts That Should Be Games? · · Score: 1

    Nah, Dark Tower is awesome, but I don't know, it's got the wrong vibe for a game IMO. OTOH perhaps this one would work: The Talisman may it doya fine. You could be Travellin' Jack, going cross-country through America and the Territories.

    I spend no time removing spyware. Why? Firefox as the default browser + non-administrator as the default user. Installing stuff is slighty annoying (Egads! I have to right-click and select 'Run As') but it's like a brick wall as far as spyware is concernced.
