  1. Re:I would be pissed too Because on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    yeah, tell that to lagoles, leegoolas, lleggolllas, legggolasss, leggomyeggolasss, logelas, gondelf, gandelf, gendalf etc on any MMORPG. The only viable solution is either 24 hour lag in name creation or to allow players to police themselves using the name reporting solution provided by most MMORPGs.

    Especially since on the page in question, there isn't much indication of the humorous nature of the site, just the seal, bush's face, and a click here for the president's weekly audio address and archives.

    Well, the only way the GMs will even have the capability of changing those other "offensive" names is if someone(you) reports them.

    Well, since those rules are standard on EVER(quest)Y (da)O(c)NE OF the POPUL(tima online)A(narchy online)R MMORPGs, I'm guessing they are pretty old rules.

    If you want any sort of operational reliability you'll want Raid 51/15 or something similar so Double your minimum estimate Don't forget power solutions, rack costs and power utilization in your estimate either.

    That is all well and good, but we're all disciples
    Matthew
    28:18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
    28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
    28:20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
    So why does "THE CHURCH" claim that "THEY" retain that ability?

    It isn't the same as pascal. Pascal allows you to declare throw away variables for looping or interim values ADA takes 6 lines as I recall to declare a trash variable.

    Yes, there are lots of things that can be done by an open source team on the cheap... Massive hardware components aren't currently one of them. And aren't likely to be in the future.

  25. Re:ANSI C on How To Get Into Programming? · · Score: 1
    If it can't be done in C it can't (or shouldn't) be done.
    I would argue that if you can't do it using whatever the available tool is you aren't a programmer, you are a coder.

    That being said, OS development in other than C or Assembly is dicey.
