Blizzard has been putting ads in their Battle.net service for years and their games sold a ton. I don't know if they track you or not but they are there.
It has 1GB of storage, that doesn't mean they are using it all for the OS. They are two CF cards, one for the OS and any software and one for a flight log. Anyway, I'd bet they aren't using much storage on either card.
object has standard data that pertains to every object in the world, like positioning and physics stuff.
object has a virtual method tick(), so any class that overrides it can process data specific to it. later you can loop through an object pointer array that holds all the objects in your scene and call tick() and render() for each one.
yes, OOP is useful. not required, but definately useful.
I realize RMS has good intentions but I don't see any point to this. It's a BIOS. What good would making it GNU/BIOS do? More importantly, what good will it do for the motherboard companies? The current system works fine, they will need incentive to switch over to something new.
If you can't hit that resolution it is because of your video card. I'm sure roughly the same data is being passed to your video card no matter what res you are at, so AI and other stuff shouldn't effect FPS in that part.
The limiting factor would be the card's fillrate. AA, pixel shaders, texture filtering, and high-res textures depend on it. The larger the area to process the more dependant it will become.
There is no way Carmack would neglect almost half of the gamers out there. The fact is, Radeons have always had less than stellar performance with OpenGL. They are built for D3D.
The topic here is ASP.NET, not ASP. And ASP.NET does run on *nix (very well, too) thanks to Mono. There are a lot of large areas where ASP.NET excels over PHP too.
Are you talking about ASP, or ASP.NET? The two are very different. ASP is a raped VBized PHP that needs to die, but ASP.NET blows PHP out of the water.
With ASP.NET you can use C# which isn't hackish like PHP (4, at least, I do realize there were some changes in 5). You have code-behind which organizes everything nicely and is great for keeping designers from stepping on developers toes. All the basics are encapsulated in controls where handling a click is as easy as assigning a method to the Click event. There is built-in authentication. You also get the backing of the entire.NET framework. Plus, ASP.NET is *fast*. Without caching, it is moderately faster than PHP. With proper use of caching, it smokes PHP.
I will continue to do so until someone makes an IDE on Linux that compares to Visual Studio (and no, Eclipse is not that IDE, especially for non-Java projects). Who knows, maybe I'll even develop it, if I can find the time that is:)
Same here. But these budget cards aren't designed for gamers who want great quality at good speed.
Despite what many think (I used to think it too), ATI has got a lot better with their drivers. I switched from NV to ATI and my 9800pro has been rock solid. Say what you want, but it looks like NV is losing ground to ATI and continues to implement quality lowering hacks to recover for it. ATI has gone from a cheap underdog to a faster, cheaper, and higher qualtiy solution.
people like Gates think users do not want control. He thinks we just want to "work" or "have fun".
The/. crowd may not think like that, but Average Joes do. Most would much rather have something be easy than be overly complicated.
It is the primary reason why Windows sucks too: its all good and well to abstract the machine from the user using eye-candy and whatnot. It is a stupendously Big Mistake to abstract the machine from the -admins-.
Again, thats the exact reason why Windows is dominating over Linux. If the user didn't like the ease of use given by lack of control, everyone would be off compiling their own kernel by now. Admins are a minority, we won't don't really effect their sales much. Admins who have to manage users would be bitched at endlessly if things were made hard on users just to make the admin feel in control. That said, Windows is fairly customizable (though not nearly as much as *nix) if you know what you're doing.

Here is the Coral cache.
MTA uses the ASE protocol, so The All Seeing Eye supports it just fine. Much better than GameSpy anyway (imho).
Don't forget the guy from UCLA that is predicting a 6.5ish earthquake in southern california within the next few days.
Doom 3 does all it's sound processing on the CPU so no sound/video card will help you. Instead, get two nVidia cards and run an SLI setup :)
why?

So, how far away are we from a Butlerian Jihad?

try programming a game.
class "monster" can inherit from class object.

Tux is gone; he's cute, but has no defensive weaponry.
I beg to differ.
They were too busy staring at Haley Barry?
BTW, is Trent Reznor on Doom3
:(
Nope. Doom3 has no music except the theme song which was made by Chris Vrenna and Clint Walsh. No Trent

Like MonoDevelop? It is based off SharpDevelop.
Martha Stewart already took all of those.
Hey, if it's anything like Trusted Computing, it has to be good!
Yea, and that sounds a lot more like spyware than Gmail's barely noticeably text ads.
Developers! Developers! Developers!
all OSes except windows can provide millisecond resolution without complaint
Go look at QueryPerformanceCounter(). It'll give you a *very* high-res 64-bit timer (3579545 counts per second on my puter).
