There was recently a small study here in Norway about childrens attitude to information on the internet. Most of the childes asked, believed that what they found on the internet is true, 100% fact, and they had no training in spotting what's not facts or how to check the sources.
So, teach them to be critic of information, there's so much bogous information out there, anyone can be confused.
Just wanted people to realize the diffrence here. irrlicht is is a 3d engine, which is about putting things on screen. For making a full game, much much more is needed. Player control/input handling, level loading when needed, loading saving of progress. Physics. AI. And , well, a _whole_ lot of other code. Plus some amazing artists and a good way of dealing with content made in 3d party applications(modellers)..

It seems you think of Fortran as a general purpose language, such as e.g. C and C++ it really is not. Fortran is strong at numerical computing, and in many areas there it is way better than C++.
There is no need for looking at code for that. It's all about beeing diciplined. _ALWAYS_ validate input(so you e.g. don't go past an array.) ALWAYS follow the API you use, and thing of all side effects, errors , etc. It can have (so you e.g. don't double free things).
This doesn't quite quench my thirst for information: does this mean the probes are still sending radio waves/signals, or just irradiating passively? Article at physicsweb says: When the craft were at distances of between 20 and 70 astronomical units, researchers found that the Doppler frequency of microwave signals that were bounced off the craft drifted at a small, constant rate

Genesis Mission Status Report
The Genesis sample return capsule entered Earth's atmosphere at 9:52:47 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time and entered the preplanned entry ellipse in the Utah Test and Training Range as predicted. However, the Genesis capsule, as a result of its parachute not deploying, impacted the ground at a speed of 311 kilometers per hour (193 miles per hour). The impact occurred near Granite Peak on a remote portion of the range. No people or structures were anywhere near the area.
"We have the capsule," said Genesis project manager Don Sweetnam of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "It is on the ground. We have previously written procedures and tools at our disposal for such an event. We are beginning capsule recovery operations at this time."
By the time the capsule entered Earth's atmosphere, the flight crews tasked to capture Genesis were already in the air. Once it was confirmed the capsule touched down out on the range, the flight crews were guided toward the site to initiate a previously developed contingency plan. They landed close to the capsule and, per the plan, began to document the capsule and the area.
"For the velocity of the impact, I thought there was surprisingly little damage," said Roy Haggard of Vertigo Inc., Lake Elsinore, Calif., who took part in the initial reconnaissance of the capsule. "I observed the capsule penetrated the soil about 50 percent of its diameter. The shell had been breached about three inches and I could see the science canister inside and that also appeared to have a small breach," he said.
The safety of recovery personnel has been the top priority. The capsule's separation charge had to be confirmed safe before the capsule could be moved. The recovery team is in the process of preparing to move the capsule to a clean room.
The Genesis mission was launched in August 2001 on a journey to capture samples from the storehouse of 99 percent of all the material in our solar system -- the Sun. The samples of solar wind particles, collected on ultra-pure wafers of gold, sapphire, silicon and diamond, were designed to be returned for analysis by Earth-bound scientists.

Why can't all the PC architecture vendors just get along and use OpenFirmware like most other sane architectures ?
So, IE crashed and you replaced it with Firefox. Excuse me for being
ingnorant but I don't see the failure/bad thing here...
True, but IBM makes hardware components. everything from chips to ready to use gadgets. Bigtime.

Really ?
Be very much aware that there are lots which measure "efficient" in
development time, NOT execution time.
Why would that be helpful except if you want to create an exploit ?
Someone found the vunerabilites, someone fixed them. Good enough
for me.
Replicators.
They're rather cute, and "fun".
Cause your manager plays golf with a Sun manager ?
And well, I know quite a lot of large telecom systems that run on
Solaris, and only Solaris.
Over here comma is used as a separator, I usually don't think ;)
of 0.9 as a decimal number
This is nothing like Plan9, trust me.

So, passive it seems.
Indeed. Though I'd assume speech recognition would use == for equals ;)
and "assign" or something for =. And or would be ||
Still, seems like a pain.
Thoughts?

Well, ISPs already have logs of who had wich address at a given time, so
it should be possible.
With a whopping 32kilobytes of memory, you'll have a hard time
porting mono to it...

I'm not sure why you say this.. However OpenGL is kind of a lower level
