If your looking for game programming in general I highly recommend "Tricks of the Game programming Guru's" its 2d, dx6 stuff so outdated, but its a good base line with a lot of 'e-books' on the cd about 3d software rastorizing. The site by the guy who wrote it "andre lamothe" is also very helpful (if the musics annoying)

If you want to jump right into 3d I found these handy:
www.flipcode.com (all)
www.andypike.com (directx)
www.gamasutra.com (all)
www.two-kings.com (directx)
Basically pick what you want and google for "Tutorial direct x" or "tutorial OpenGL" Theres THOUSANDS of pagees of stuff out there. AS for DirectX which sdk, go with 9, they cleaned up the tutorials a lot, gave you a nice interface for working with them and reading with them and expanded them to include some pretty advanced effects (even tagging them 'begginner''advanced' etc)
DirectX is not as hard as its reputation makes it sound, its a standandard set of components once you get used to it its actually very very nice to work with
Microsoft also still makes available all the online information (MSKB) for the discontinued OS's. And its a bit different with redhat, most of the components of old redhat releases are current projects still making releases, theres nothing stopping you from doing the upgrade yourself, chances are if you cant you can prob get your slightly geekier friend to compile and rpm it for you. With windows, think someone is still working on the windows 3.1 version of the networking components?
What if only one best-of-breed browser could run embedded plug-ins, applets, ActiveX controls, or anything like them, and it wasn't IE? How competitive would the other browsers be without those capabilities? How would that change the current dynamics in the Industry?"
Lets have a monopoly, sound familiar?
Whote quote in the article sounds a lot like a sales pitch, strikes me that their thinking of getting the injunction and then selling themsevles to a big company for much much more money then ms would give them in a settlement. THe high ideals idea got weaker and weaker the more i read of the quote.
Is this not the chip that was a co venture between apple and ibm? Is this also no the chip that apple intended to use? is this also not the chip thats a 'pc' chip built on RISC?
Personally I wanna see what this thing can do before damming it or pronounceing apple dead. Its a year from now, the specs could be COMPLETLY different by then
Direct reply kinda off topic but cell phone numbers being portable accross carriers has already been mandated and is being implemented, AT&T recently (mid sept) took down most of their prepaid system to make sure that it complied with the FCC regulations re just that
I've actually noticed a trend in tech support (Ive worked at 4 dif companys in the last 3 years in various positions, before decideing to stay where I am now). There was no dress code at the first 3, other then, don't be naked, nothing thats going to offend anyone and no holes etc, you know, common decency. The 4th place, where I am now, is an american company with an office in canada, and about once a month one part of that dress code gets removed, first to go was hats in the call centre, apperntly american companys really have a hard on about that. MY thoughts on recent trends in IT dress code is Customer faceing is becomeing more and more formal non customer faceing, they could care less. Techsupport: Some of you may not consider it IT. Those of you who did it and got out feel sorry for me. Those of you in the trenches now cheer. But its IT as far as im concered

We never have problems like this in canada, our providers are lazy and self install is pushed on ya anyway, but its a nice self install they do run the cableing, place the modem down, plug it in hand you a network cable, and instruction paper and walks out, this, is the way it should be. Self install is almost always the best option.
People keep saying it'd be cool to see the 'flashing' of LES CPU's etc, or the blue green codeing guys comment. You do relize, they would be flipping so fast that you would not be able to see the change, just a glow.
Was working for a small isp.
Sitting at work developing a script to blank the accounts off our old mail server (outsourced) for when our new mail server is completly online and ready to go. Its done, i remove my debugging code and the limites I had placed (i had limited it to work with only 2 test accounts) Congradulating myself on a job well done I head to the hall to grab myself a coke, i come back and my boss is at my comp, now the program was written in VC++ so the 'play' button is pretty obvious and hes seen me use it before, the idiot wanted to see what i was working on and ran it, blanking all accounts off of the mail server.
Took us 3 days to get the outsourceing company to restore from a backup (one of the reasons we were co-locating our own), and even then all mail recieved after the backup (the night before) was gone ofc. I just about strangled my boss, on the upside, he never touched my workstation again.
Yes but the lander was friggen funny, you can u just see the guy sitting there, taking a hit off a bong then stateing.
"Dude dude, comehere, got a problem"
"whats that?"
"*giggle* Well you know the lander *gafaw* the navigation was in meters....but i programmed the lander in feet, so instead of landing *grin* fsck'er burried.....
I wish there woulda been another lander there to see that one hit, woulda been the shot of a lifetime.
Besides, nasa crashes things into things on perpose:)
Um, whoa. How is making money off software when you like or also have free softwre hypocritical. Its a preference not a religion (although some people are just that zeolistic(that a word?) about it) Thats realism, have to do it somehow, a lot of free software is user supported, ex that program that went open source based on raising X funds, (the name of which escapes me. And greedy? everyones got to eat dude
GTA has missions?!
And here i was just driving around blowing stuff up and seeing how many fbi agents i could evade. (and stealing their cars if i can get em)

Because of people talking on cell phones getting into accidents, some states have full bans some states require hands free devices
