Well, once you find out the place you need to go to, you're up for a lot of zooming and dragging to pinpoint it. It would be much better (more like a quiz and less like a pixel hunting exercise) if they had a text field so that you could put the location you want in and it zoomed straight to it.
Well, the game industry certainly agrees with that figure. I can import games from the US and save around 10-15% of the cost even after counting the shipping. Funnily enough, DVDs are reasonably cheap.
Indeed. Particularly with this trend of certain graphics card manufacturers releasing binary-only drivers which the community can't fix when bugs are found, it would be good to have some means of fallback for when a shoddily hacked up driver crashes.
XPointer had fragment referencing ages ago. XLink had back-links ages ago. XInclude had fragment inclusion ages ago. And if people really wanted web annotation, then we would all be using Annotea, wouldn't we?
No, animation is not "high art". It is definitely art, though.
I'm not some American piece of crap... in fact, I'm a person who has watched the anime he likes to watch being almost consistently ruined for US consumption. Hence, I see the commercial translation efforts of the US as basically a defiling of art, and I'm not entirely convinced that an translation of the Simpsons for Arab TV would be any more acceptable.
That's exactly my opinion too. With anime, we get a good impression of how much information the US translators cut out. It's not always just sanitisation, often they chew out chunks of the storyline as well to suit the younger audience. I can only imagine The Simpsons being butchered much worse. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the humour is removed in its entirety...
I used to be a Cedega subscriber. I was creating my own builds from CVS for a while using a poached Gentoo
ebuild, and eventually signed up so that I could vote and try to swing things away from that "must port
Counter-Strike and EverQuest and nothing else" mindset that the Cedega community have.
Graphically, the thing is great. Games like Diablo 2 ran remarkably smoothly in most cases.
But the game Oni, for instance, which was one of the more simple games that you
would expect to run, won't run under Cedega with sound turned on, thanks to Cedega's shit support
for DirectSound3D.
However, the way it works in the Cedega community, is that votes go on the games, not on the
bugs. Never mind how many other games are affected by this one bug, if they're all separate games,
each of which a few people like, the votes get spread out and games like EverQuest get all the attention.
Hell, I saw them putting attention on Doom 3, when there was a week (A WEEK!) left until the native Linux release.
Reasons like this were what made me stop paying for the subscription... I'm sure they'll figure out the Right Way
of handling voting at some point in the future (please, take some cues from Bugzilla and basically any other
open source bug tracking, okay?) but until then, I'll be content with dual booting to play my Windows games even
though it means turning off my torrents..
Anyway, it's comforting to see that they're still focusing entirely on the graphics end, while the sound subsystem
silently rots away.
Web accessibility guidelines say that each link with the same text on a page should link to the same location. Using short, non-descriptive text like "here" increases the odds of a clash. But on the other hand, the five dozen uninsightful comments which usually follow will almost certainly have clashing links anyway. *shrug*
Setting up a server on a home DSL connection to be a primary mail host isn't completely ridiculous, and I know of several ways to obtain a secondary mail host. Another way to go is just to get a mail redirection service which redirects to Gmail. Then when they change their address, you just update the forwarding address.:-D
No, I heard. I said that because the previous poster had replied to a message which basically said "testing is free", with "no, you're wrong." Clearly he wasn't wrong.
It forces software vendors to share the source code, but does not prohibit vendors from selling binaries.
It's actually better than that. It forced the vendor to share the source code to the same parties with which they shared the binaries. In other words if you only have, say, half a dozen very trustworthy clients, or clients who would never even think to ask for the source code, then you're in a fairly good place.
On the other hand, it only takes one client with knowledge of the GPL to redistribute your code to the entire world... but that's another story.
Changing the default size doesn't help if the page authors set it to 10px. The main problem is that 10px varies in size depending on your monitor... real designers would at least specify that in pt or em, to make it scale properly.
RadRails is great, but the setup is a bit of a pain in the butt. I have to tell it where Ruby is, for instance... something it doesn't even need to know. It could just run "ruby" and let the path take care of it.
But anyway, any steps towards autocompletion and automated code refactoring for Ruby are fine by me. And moving into an IDE which is capable of these things is a step.:-)
Slashdot Mirror
They should have called it "Serious Sam: The One Point Fifth Encounter", then. :-/
Google the hints. That part's easy.

And here I thought that US$1.00 was more like AU$1.33.

Maybe he wants you to include the snippets using XInclude instead of copy and paste. But wait, XML is evil. :-D
Rails isn't a UI framework anyway. It's a whole-stack framework.
TV is exactly what we're talking about, isn't it?

I guess that makes it okay to ruin art, then.
No TV and No Beer makes homer Something Something
Bomb buildings?
Don't mind if I do!

As per the QT license, you must BUY the licence before you start coding the application.
Does playing around with a toolkit to learn how it works count as writing the application these days?
If you could care less, you must care somewhat now. Otherwise you couldn't.
It's completely unacceptable and unprofessional.
You must be new here.
