    No, you can't guarantee that the logic is correct, but you can add checks to ensure your functions are behaving correctly:<BR>

  3. What about Nintendo? on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 0

    When climbing on your high horse, don't forget about Nintendo. They will sue anyone who tries to release 'unlicensed' software for their platforms, yet they are heavily pimped around here. I imagine Sony and Microsoft have similar policies for their platforms.

  4. Re:Shame, really... on Riding the World's Fastest Train @ 500 kph · · Score: 0

    with our collective allergy to mass transit...

    Mass transit it not economical for most of the US given the population density, or lack therof.

  5. But what about the explosion? on How Yoda Became an Action Star · · Score: 0

    Why are all explosions in space only 2D?

    You're using a Jon Katz story as a reference? Come on...

  7. No, you misunderstand on Australia Plans More Spying on Citizens · · Score: 0

    The statement "But on a serious, more blunt note" should have given you a clue that the preceeding paragraph was tongue-in-cheek.

  8. Re:Wha? on Calling All Dungeon Masters · · Score: 0

    Ah, but there is.
    GQ talks about fashion, slashdot talks about wearable computers. GQ talks about eating wholesome goods and balanced nutrition, Slashdot talks about Vitamin fortified microwave burritos. GQ talks about sports, Slashdot talks about the commercials during sporting events.

  9. Re:Wha? on Calling All Dungeon Masters · · Score: 0

    Basically, Slashdot is the complement of GQ.

    Wouldn't antithesis be a better word?

    Guess I'm not 1337 enough to be caught up with the latest lingo.

    PREviews, maybe. But the game is hardly finished. It won't even be released until next year.

  12. Re:Doom III and video cards on Carmack on Doom 3 Video Cards · · Score: 0

    Hard to get reviews on a game that isn't finished yet.

    killing fleeing civilians
    So the Iraqi military are civilians?

    burying alive soldiers (without even giving them the chance to surrender)
    You're right. They should have had the Iraqi military fill out and sign release forms giving up the right to surrender. Oh, and don't forget to get them notarized!

    We did the very things we accuse Hussein of doing.
    You seem to be having some trouble with the words and .

  14. The Catch on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 0

    Here's the catch (from the article):

    "Those who do not successfully complete Green Beret training, which as always includes becoming a paratrooper, are reassigned within the Army."

    I bet that most recruits won't be able to finish the program and will end up grunts in the Army anyway.

  15. Re:Iraq on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 0

    The U.S. was convicted of war crimes due to the way it conducted the Gulf War.

    Crap like that is the exact reason that Bush (rightly) pulled out from the ICC.

  16. Re:Iraq on E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool · · Score: 0

    If a guy has killed many people on different occasions, wouldn't you want to stop him before he kills again?

  19. A Sense of Style on What is Well-Commented Code? · · Score: 0

    The chapter on style, from Bertrand Meyer's book Object Oriented Software construction, is available for download in PDF. It has some good, general rules for readablity and format.

    I love the bit where they use a psychic they saw on Montel Williams as a reference.

  23. Re:IMPORTANT - Opt out on Experian, Ford, and Identity Theft · · Score: 0

    . I opted out and I've never done business with Ford, so this story doesn't affect me.

    Except they didn't steal info from Ford. They stole info from Experian, a credit agency whcih likely has info on you, whether or not you're a Ford customer. Your info could have very well been taken.

    Mace Windu kills Jango Fett, Boba's dad.

  25. Re:Best way to increase hard drive performance: on Hard Drive Performance - ATA100 vs ATA133 · · Score: 0

    If you really want to increase performance, what you need is top-of-the-line soundcard and speakers. If you haven't spent more on your sound system than the rest of your computer, then you're not using your computer effectively.
