But I don't think the Mod touched networking code. So do they mean that Half Life had superior network code?
But Half-Life was rooted in Quake2's engine from Id's excellent Licensing terms. Id even makes note of Quake2's networking code right before discussing its use in Half-Life.
I know nothing about motor mechanics; if my car develops a fault, I take it to a garage. Am I dumb now?
That depends, is it because either you didn't know you had to change the oil or fill up the gas tank?
I know nothing about building. If I needed an extension built, or a wall knocked through, or whatever, I'd go to a builder. Am I dumb now?
Are you having trouble opening the door, so you are deciding to get rid of the wall completely?
I know nothing about teaching. I may know the subject, but I know nothing about planning and preparing lessons, setting homework, or keeping a class full of students interested and engaged. Am I dumb now?
If you find yourself in front of a classroom full of students expecting you to explain the intricacies of the time independant Shrodinger Equation with relation to the finite square well under your stated conditions, then I'll just say you won't get a good review from your students.
People here need to stop being so elitist, and denigrating people just because they know less about computers than some arbitrarily determined minimum level below which the person must be "dumb".
There is a minimum education level deemed neccesary to function in society. In the/. society, the level of education in computer areas is higher than the rest of the population. This does require some perspective to be placed whenever dealing with sweeping topics like the use of IE, but there STILL EXISTS a minimum knowledge in order to be functional in the online community.
Point: While distribution of labor negates the requirment for everyone to be an expert on all topics, if your toast is stuck in the toaster and you try to remove it with a fork, I reserve the right to call you "Sparky", "Dumbass", or "Lucky", depending on the final outcome and my mood for the day.
For instance, with 4 virtual desktops, they describe a scaled view where each desktop is essentially 1/4 of the screen. If you have two browser windows open in two different desktops, such a view would enable you to visually determine which is which. I don't remember seeing such a feature in other VWMs. They also describe animating the transition between this view and the full desktops via shrinking/expanding the active desktop.

Try opening wow.exe in a hex editor and search for "Linux". There are references to the following commands:
IsWindowsClient
IsMacClient
IsLinuxClient
SOMEONE cared enough to stick that last one in there.
Linux is also included in a list of operating systems elsewhere in the file.
*smack forehead* Get rid of the 2 in Quake2
CS was a fan mod, as noted by Planet HalfLife and About.com

I'm happy to see science making a step in the right direction. Call me when they are able to use non-visible light to generate solar power.

Sounds very similar to 3D-Desktop to me
