Despite all the talk of competition with MS, this sounds like an excellent way to be acquired by them. XAML has been implemented to the letter according to the specification _two_ years ahead of schedule. Sounds like MS's modus operandi as well, acquiring the good stuff and marketing it as their own.
The timer has not been incremented to 64bit. The reason is for api compatibility it hasn't been changed. Microsoft does give you some warning though:
GetTickCount
The GetTickCount function retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started. It is limited to the resolution of the system timer. To obtain the system timer resolution, use the GetSystemTimeAdjustment function.
DWORD GetTickCount(void);
Parameters This function has no parameters. Return Values The return value is the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started.
Remarks The elapsed time is stored as a DWORD value. Therefore, the time will wrap around to zero if the system is run continuously for 49.7 days.
If you need a higher resolution timer, use a multimedia timer or a high-resolution timer.
To obtain the time elapsed since the computer was started, retrieve the System Up Time counter in the performance data in the registry key HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. The value returned is an 8-byte value. For more information, see Performance Monitoring.
Example Code The following example demonstrates how to use a this function to wait for a time interval to pass. Due to the nature of unsigned arithmetic, this code works correctly if the return value wraps one time. If the difference between the two calls to GetTickCount is more than 49.7 days, the return value could wrap more than one time and this code will not work; use the system time instead.
DWORD dwStart = GetTickCount();// Stop if this has taken too long if( GetTickCount() - dwStart >= TIMELIMIT )
Cancel(); Example Code Note that TIMELIMIT is defined as the time interval of interest to the application, in milliseconds.
Requirements Client: Requires Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation, Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95. Server: Requires Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows NT Server. Header: Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h. Library: Use Kernel32.lib.
Mod the parent up. GetTickCount() is almost certainly the culprit. However, writing code that properly handles GetTickCount overflow is not that hard to accomplish, especially in mission critical situations.
This site has not only legos in 3d but some other models as well. I wonder if the cad station is on the web or something. I heard of this company a while back, they're some fellow mit people doing 3d streaming over the internet. The technology sounds pretty cool
as of gnome 1.1.x, the panel has been resizeable, and has looked much more polished in general. i dunno, I kind of like the icons, but to each their own. You should try this release, I've been using 1.1.3 for as long as it's been out, and i've had zero problems as well as zero down time.
not to dispute your original point but, to my knowledge NOTHING renders 60million polygons per second. I believe that you may be able to find around 6 million or so with some oxy cards or doubtfully some tnt2 stuff, but that's it. If i'm wrong please tell me where to buy...
it's coming soon . Supposedly there's a beta floating around. I got sick of using rh4.2 just for afs. I've been in version 5 for a couple of years now, and it's worlds ahead of the afs version.
I was so looking forward to having netscape with gtk widgets so that i could have a consistent look on my desktop. This is completely ridiculous making a whole new widget set for the sake of some my program is more important than your os bullshit. Mozilla will have significant problems for two reasons. One, implementing a new widget set isn't easy even if they are using html4/css to do it. Mem leaks, core dumps and unexpected behaviour will be standard fare for a year. Two, mozilla and hence netscape (if netscape supports this) will lose signifigant market share. Sure, they will probably keep most linux users, but what will mac users pick?? A browser that looks natively mac (ie) or the other browser? ie.. windows users... this is a no brainer.. they will use ie. period. End of signifigant mozilla market share.
oh well, perhaps this is what I want. Competition will determine the best browser. I'll be looking to either start or jump on a move to take NGLayout and port it to GTK+. My guess is that mozilla will fork very soon.

yeah for 18.217.x.x, i remember finding at some point that we have more ips than most country domains...
totally off topic, i personally would revise your
.sig...
I consider MS-DOS to be the bad and WinNT to be the ugly....
