The Enemy Territory source is available... AFAIK, it uses the Q3 engine. Now the Q3 engine source is also available. Does this mean the complete source code for Enemy Territory is available, or is there something missing?
Seeing the cool stuff modders have done with the ET source, I can't wait to see what client mods will people do... all kind of nice eye candy, I hope. Stencil shadows (for the characters at least) would be cool, for example.
a.crossProd(b), or a.dotProd(b).. But if you're looking at a * b in c++ for the first time, which is it?
Hmmm, you're right about that. I was thinking about matrices in my example so there was no ambiguity. In any case I think it's better to be able to at least overload the operators that don't cause ambiguity. In Java I'm forced to write ugly code!
It comes down once again to whether you prefer a powerful language that lets you shoot yourself in the foot, or a less powerful language that lets you write code orders of magnitude faster. I think C++ is in the first category, but Java isn't in the second - give me Python any day.

It's trivially easy. I have a FC3 box with DSL through a FreeSCO box. I thought it would be difficult to configure, but to my amazement it worked at the first attempt, without having to tweak a single setting in the FC3 or the FreeSCO box.
Best way to refine, show off, and use your talents for a good cause : start or participate actively in an useful open source project and become famous.
I couldn't stant ETF for more than 5 minutes... I went straight back to Enemy Territory and I'm enjoying it thoroughly after playing for over a year. 2003 graphics? Who cares!
A new map by Splash Damage would be cool though... there are a few very good and very popular user-made maps but none has the playability of the original 6.
Enjoy the movie. Or not. If that's your bag to try to determine exactly what Lucas was thinking, and/or how bad he screwed it up, fine. But no one really gives a fark what you and your buddy think.
Yoda said it more concisely : "Enjoy the movie. Or not. There is no try".
I have overwhelmingly good experience with Plimus, we use them as our main payment processor. No downtime, very few problems, and insanely fast tech support - they always reply within a couple of hours, they even add minor features you request in a matter of days.
I'm in no way affiliated with them, they're just very good, so they deserve the free publicity.
In spanish, "luna" is literally "moon". We call it "la luna", which means "the moon". The title of this article would be "...nueva luna de Saturno", because there's no difference between luna the type of celestial body ("moon") and luna our moon ("luna").
It works fine for me on Linux, Red Hat 8 and now Fedora Core 3, since it was in beta 0.91. No tweaking or configuration AT ALL. And that's passing through a Pentium 100 running FreeSCO from a floppy...
We'd need someone MUCH MORE knowledgeable than I am... I'm just the guy who added AT commands, I don't really know how the rest of the driver works! So if any Slashdot reader wants to take over the maintainership of the driver, feel free to contact me!

The Linux Modem Problem?
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I'm the de facto maintainer of the CLMD5620DT driver after the guy who wrote the driver disappeared (I just added an AT command parser, it used custom commands before).
My advice : try to find actual, hardware modems somewhere. A real 33600 is better than a 56K winmodem.
In the particular case of the CLMD5620DT, it used to work sometimes with 2.2 kernels (the version I released, with AT commands, is 0.3.0-gg), I made a quick port to 2.4 (you may find it as version 0.4.0) and I have no idea if it works with 2.6 kernels. I don't even have the modem anymore:(
I wonder if different OS crashes induce different responses?
Yes, of course. When Linux crashes on me, I start looking for hardware problems (and most often than not, I find them!). When Windows crashes, I just think "well, it's Windows", reboot, and continue. When Mac OS X crashes... I don't know, I think I've never seen it crash. I use my iBook far less than my PC though.
I wish I had mod points. Go Diplomacy! You can even play online until you decide to buy the game, with an easy to use web interface, here : Diplomatic Pouch
I don't understand. There is nothing intrinsic in the number 2 and the number 5 that will tell you what they will equal when they are multiplied.
Hmmm, but their logarithms do. If you could associate the "size" of log2 and the "size" of log5, and you could imagine them "together", you could "see" the size is the same as log10, thus 2x5 = 10 (because log(a) + log(b) = log(a*b). Maybe that's how it works?
I'll try that sometime. About scoping, I do that too - the examples I gave were for locals. bDone becomes m_bDone when it's a member variable or s_bDone if it's static.

They figured out how to get two-dimensional pictures of a face? Amazing!
There's an even easier and simpler alternative that doesn't even use lasers... nothing but a lamp and a ruler! http://www.vision.caltech.edu/bouguetj/ICCV98/
The results are remarkably good for such a simple setup.

Yes you can... both the unary (*A - that's how smart pointers usually work) and the binary (that's how complex numbers usually work) versions.
In terms of power of expressivity, I think they're about the same, but I find Java easier to read than C++
Sure, new Matrix(A.negate().multipliedBy(C)).addedTo(D) is so much clearer than -A*C + B...

Still beats the Chewbacca defense, though.

Hey, my first computer didn't even *have* disk space! It was a ZX81, with 1 KB (yes, 1024 bytes) of RAM and loaded stuff off a cassette tape.
