If most people aren't getting the average, then the average is lower than you think the average salary should be. I think the average salary should be $120k, but most people earn below that.
i found it on a irc channel as a "preview" to their new album (which came out in 1994).. needless to say, my 486 didn't play it too well with winplay3. it may have also been the fact that i had it stored on a zip disk (the old 'click-of-death' parallel port drives).;-)
1) dark jedi is not implemented in the game, so she should not have a red saber.. 2) the text above her head is the same size as the people 10 meters behind her (probably couldnt find the font in photoshop)..
I know they never went away, I just found it odd that they are not required anymore. Line numbers always made BASIC seem more, well basic. When they did away with it, they almost started requiring you to use an IDE for it. The days of using "notepad", "edit", or even "edlin" for programming died quickly.
VB.NET supports line numbers as labels. I use it when I need a quick app written for a short amount of time. If the app is needed for a long time period, I usually will write it in C++ (or more lately, in C#).
The GBA has a 240x160 pixel screen, and runs at 8bit in modes 0, 1, 2, and 4. It runs at 16bit in modes 3 and 5.
Modes 0, 1, and 2 are tile modes (1 and 2 supporting tile rotation and scaling). 3, 4 and 5 are all bitmap modes. Both 4 and 5 are double buffered, but mode 5 has a reduced resolution to preserve vram to store 2 screens at once.
You can also split the modes on the screen at the same time (ala Mario Kart). It had mode 0 on the top (score, time, etc) and mode 1 on the bottom (to have enough layers and the scaling/rotation support).
I agree that the GBA isn't a modern system because of how closely it resembles the SNES, but in a world obsessed with first person shooters, it is a nice escape to have a system where people can develop 2D platforms or puzzle games and still have a chance of selling them.
The poster forgot to prepend http:// on the hyperlink. I am guessing that OSDN does not make much money from the banner ads, seeing how most of the banners in rotation are for the OSDN.
no, its just that all FPS games are the same. there are always 9 weapons because *gasp* that is how many number keys you have. there is always a idiotic storyline that nobody follows, they just run around and perfect their deathmatch skill. i have played many games, and i wouldnt say that the first ones i played were the best.
i'll never forget how long it took me to figure out the command at the end of heros quest:
] use candelabra
i was only 9, i had no idea what a "candelabra" was.;-) but i agree that these games shouldnt be overlooked. <flamebait>they were much more entertaining than the flashy fps-type games of the current generation. i guess the industry is just trying to cater to the short attention span of the current gamers.</flamebait>
to get it out of the way: use mozilla or opera. that popup will be nonexistant and your webmail will work just like it did in internet explorer.
also, i am just getting it for the connectivity. i already have an email account at hotmail so ads on yahoo.com (which i still get even though im not a sbc/yahoodsl customer yet) do not bother me. i just choose not to use yahoo's website. at one time, it was a great website. their time is past though.
i agree that changing a contract without notification or agreement is not right. but if they put a clause in that said that they would notify you, they could just change it right away and say that they didnt have to notify you anymore. most companies are still curtious enough to send emails out that it changed though. then you can stop using the service if you do not agree with it.
the agreements that most companies use are usually very interesting. for example, msn can use any data you submit to any msn website (message boards, hotmail, etc) in advertising, publushing, documentation. they dont have to give you credit, and they can change any part of the text/image. they recently changed it to remove that they own the data. probably protects them from liability. joe emails himself the source for decss. microsoft owns the source to decss. got em!;-)
no, its just a slow day. when there is a post on getting a piano into the amazon, you know they are accepting anything. i sent in a picture of the mole i have on my big toe, maybe it will make the front page.;-)
yeah, i know this is off topic, but its up to the users of the dsl service (which i will be a user of SBC dsl in about a week) to read the policies of the company. i opted for the self install kit so that no technicians are installing anything on my computer. plus i will be passing through either a linksys or netgear firewall.
I use a P2 233 for a lot of my programming (which is all done via telnet or ssh). I doubt the average user really needs that P4 that is in their system.
Pretty old. The laptop was manufactured in 97 and I have replaced the battery once since then. I use it plugged in all the time, so its not too big of an issue. I wonder if Apple assumes this same 15% power loss.
The industry is used to power leakage rates of up to fifteen per cent, but chips constructed of increasing numbers of transistors can suffer power leakage of up to 40 per cent said Grove.
No wonder my laptop only gets about a hour of runtime on its battery.:-)

I brought a lunch and a soda. I'm not leaving until I see this sailboat everyone keeps talking about.

this is a fake picture for a couple reasons:
1) dark jedi is not implemented in the game, so she should not have a red saber..
2) the text above her head is the same size as the people 10 meters behind her (probably couldnt find the font in photoshop)..
I had actually written another program that went through and renumbered everything.
example:
3, 4, 4.5, 4.7, 5
would become:
3, 4, 5, 6, 7

We are reading book reviews from books written in 1994 now?
I never understood why they did away with line numbers in QBasic. Seemed like a very big part of GWBasic.

offtopic but...
jack was not the name of the character in either the book or the movie.
They would send the letters in bulk form, which is MUCH less than $.37 per letter.

most new games are crap then too. Or should we just say most games? or most software in general?

] use candelabra
i was only 9, i had no idea what a "candelabra" was.
i found out that if you hit play and hold down fast forward a little, you would almost double the loading time. ;-)
i had the first "Adventure" game on my atari and also on my XT. only on the XT the name was changed to "adventur" (8 character filenames, heh).
i had/have castle wolfenstein on my atari 5400.
never really got into the whole ultima series. i liked the sierra SGI (kings quest, heros quest, space quest, etc) games a little more.

If that article had a point, I never got to it. I was too bored and stopped reading at "Do you have any idea how much those things weigh?".
It must be a slow news day.

No thanks, there is a discharge battery application in Mac OS.

Actually my laptop is a Mac. An hour of battery might be a high estimate too. It's more like 45 minutes. :-/
