To test Solaris 9, you would need a Sun right? Sure, you can buy a Sparc on Ebay for $100 bucks or so, or a Ultra 66 for $1000 or so, but that is a waste to just test it. Instead test and if you like it, use Solaris 9 on an Intel System for $20 bucks.
Now after your company switches over to Solaris, you're definitly going to have enough people who say, "Why are we running a system that is designed for the Alpha Processor on the x86 architecture?" to convice management to switch over.
So Sun may not be interested in money as much as Sun is interested in getting their product used. The more need / market saturation for Solaris, the more Suns get sold.
Occassionally, I see feminist views or reports that were created in a feminist "tunnel vision", and these things do hurt the femisist agenda. I usually believe that avoiding anti-feminist items, such as movies or tv, is usually the cause.
So my advice, is watch the show. If you don't, you're avoiding a quility movie, because of an close, but unrelated topic.
Carmak is the equivelent of Einstein for the computing age. He is a genius. His work with BSP, Ray Tracing, AI is usually regarded as the "Standard" or best real life way of doing game engine design in real time.
No, there really isn't a payola in gaming, BUT there is a flood of useless information, which is just as bad. Whenever a game is released by one of the BIG GUYS, the reveiw copies of the game come with pre-made reviews, descriptions, and a bazillion screenshots. Of course, websites like ign.com doesn't descriminate between good screenshots or bad, they POST'EM ALL. Jet Grind Radio screen shots, for the Defunct DreamCast.(2000)
This is a simple way of pushing an independant game programmer out of the market. How can someone like IGN afford to have space for a game with one or two screen shots, when they HAVE to store every screenshot for the latest gaming blockbusters?
This would only affect spammers in America, soon there will be a growing gap between spammers in America and foreign Spammers. Don't let this happen, I elect that we should support all the spammers in America, and make the United States the capital of Spam!!!

Shame on you! Haven't you learned anything from Gundam? The prototype is always faster / better than the mass produced verson. In a fight, the prototype will always have some sort of Advanced Weapon System that the mass produced verson just doesn't have...
How can we tell how well a computer science person is?
Just because I do OpenGL for a living, does that make me A+ certified? Or because I cannot do Linux Admin to save my life, am I not qualified?
Computer knowledge requires too many differnt areas of knowledge, since, by nature, they are a general purpose machine. The things that need certifications, do already, (MSIE, SUN security, Java, C++). I don't think there can be a law that requires me to be certified in computers, because ultimitly it would be a certification in many general subject that most I will never use in my Job or any job in the future I may have...(or forgotten by the time I get my new job:))
I own a copy of "Street Cop" an A+ rare Nintendo game, that people don't believe existed. Its not listed at Funco Land, its rarely listed anywhere. Here's why, its a powerpad game, you're a fat cop, and you have to chase the bad guys, with Uban Champ graphics...
Only like a few hundred were made, and my mother drove 3 hours to get it...
I bought Mick Foley's Wrestling book online on Amazon.com($20) 2 years ago, and I've spent $200 on computer books at the same time. Of course, amazon doesn't suggest anything to do with computers, only wrestling, and only wrestling that I would never buy...
>Nope, come up with a set of stories which >describe a functionality of the project.
Its the same thing, I just didn't use the right terminology. I should have used the word Tasks...(your still describing breaking up the project into smaller pieces)
>All code is collectively owned, not assigned. >Teams change hourly, daily, or weekly atleast.
it still needs to be assigned to SOMEONE, or else it will be done by no one... Code is owned by the group after it is unit tested and integrated, but not during the actual coding, saying otherwise is silly...
>>3. Fit the moduals together >This is performed atleast twice a day and a >thorough list of tests proves it worked. No code >is ever committed unless it integrates
Yes, Code Segment A & Code Segment B is fitted together daily/ twice daily / every hour
But Code segment A & Code Segment B MAY not be designed to fit Code Segment C and none were coded to fit Code Segment D, since itcame later in the project....
This is kinda what I ment by not worrying too much about how things fit together...
I am wording Extreme Programming in 3 easy steps...Alittle Forgiveness is needed...
>Careful, a little Software Engineering knowledge >is just enough to really screw things up heh, I know, I mess up all the time learning new things:D
heh, XP is sorta like a formulated Build and Fix model...The REALLY basic description is below
1. Divide your project into a bunch of moduals 2. Make teams of 2 programmers and assign each modual. Program it without worrying too much about how things fit together. Both members work on the same code(2 people to 1 computer) 3. Fit the moduals together
Step 3 is the limiting facter, Large projects suffer from too many hacks, and well defined projects suffer because of unneeded hacks...
It works very well for small projects(under a year), where the requirements change a lot.
Hey, the McDonald thing is a Low blow
1. She spilled coffee on her in a PARKED car
2. The Coffee caused THIRD degree burns, enough to cause her to need skin graphs
3. She sued for $20,000, just enough to cover lost wages and the skin graphs she needed since the coffee burned thru an ENTIRE layer of skin
4. The judge wanted to make an example of the case....
5. Media hears about a million dollar settlement, and presto..

The problem with AI is simply not being able to create patterns / identify patterns / modify patterns. True, AI can do pattern matching, but not to the level of a musical composer.
Humans have already reached a limit to the classical rules of music, which is partly responsible for the contemprary period in music history, but a computer can still only attempt to play chess, which is infinitly easier than composing great music, and not even attempt to play other games like go...
Things enter culture, Superman, Hulk Hogan, these things are household names, with stories that are now apart of the american culture, which means forever, someone would own our culture.
I could never think that a world Bach, or Shakespeare were always benefitting someone financely somewhere, where you couldn't listen to Bach, or read Shakespeare without paying royaltes to there great-great uncles, who have little to no relationship to the work in question.
Plus this also limits derived works. Metallica uses Bach, Mozart, and other classical themes in all of there earlier works, and many authors also take characters from other works, look at Pip from South Park...These are definitly copyright infringments, but should these offense be illegal?
Taking someone elses work, or parts of there work, either for inspiration, or to accent your work, is a part of the human expression. Fan works, or pieces that are inspired by other works should not be subjected to archane copy laws. Its ok for an artist to use what is around them socially, like superman, and add that to their work, because superman is a part of who that artist is, and by extending copywrite law, we limit the amout of expression that artist has...

whenever I need to urinate, urgent times require easy to use gui's...
and I'll have to wait until the latest driver inorder to shake...Althought it will be better and more stable than MSshake...

Seemingly forever
On a side note, nethack already has a raycasting engine...
It uses it for its visibility algorthm.
The "hacks" to get the raycasting work correctly are some of the code tricks the old Wolf3D uses for raycasting its walls and monsters...

Only like a few hundred were made, and my mother drove 3 hours to get it...
I still love that game...
I was like, working and on the game, and then it beep beep beep, I lost everything, it like, totally sucked...
I did finish the game, but it just wasn't as good...
You weren't the one downloading the movie/CD, you are legaly making a backup, and allowing other people who also own that movie/cd to get a backup...
Everyone can make an MP3/divx, but not everyone understands it enough to make a good MP3/divx...
Before user-friendly mp3 programs, I know lots of people who used Napster just for that...
That would be the basic argument in the USA, I'm unsure about the Danish argument tho...
