Doesn't mean jack shit. He can still point out innacuracies in an all-encompassing wikipedia. He never said he was smart, or that he knew everything, he just claimed that he noticed some errors in it. Big deal.
Allegro ( here ) does allow you to do this (blitting sub-rectangles, as well as hardware sub-rectangle blitting, I do it for my triple buffering system right now) and is cross-platform as well.
you know what else you skip with self publishing?

While interesting in concept, makes print just as bad as the internet for letting Hackneyed wannabe authors spew crap from their lips and put into the printed page. Maybe someday he might get published by a real publishing house. Until then, unless it finds it's way onto the shelf on Borders, I will not be buying it.
If the GUI is a seperate application that calls the original via a shell or system() function, then you can keep your gui closed source. If, however, you edit the original code and add a GUI to it, you need to open the source under GPL.
Forums are more like formal conversation between people, where the rules of grammar and spelling are usually bent. Correcting grammar in a forum is like correcting the grammar of someone while they are talking. An annoying and unsocial habit. People that do such a thing must be histrionic and looking for some small thing to inflate their ego with.
I love it when people misuse the word Illiterate. It makes them look just as dumb as those they are attacking. Someone who can't spell isn't illiterate, they can obv. read and write. Just not well. I think people that misuse the word illiterate are illiterate.
They can read, they just can't write properly. Completely different ball of wax. That doesn't make them illiterate, just unable to pass Elementarily School.
But your original post, then, was worded in a way that was confusing (and made it seem like you were saying something else entirely). I myself think click-through adverts are a terrible idea, and no respectable website should deal with it. It should be pay for it or not pay for it, no click-counting.
and it's a common misnomer in the OS world that people think that GPL provides them some protection from someone else coming along and selling it. Anyone can sell it for any price, as long as they provide the source. People need to learn how to read.
Actually, I think he's thinking of Night of the Living Dead. In the original, a space probe *might have been the cause* (according to a news broadcast), but (here's the brilliant part) it's never really explained. Nobody knows why (or ever found out why) in the original it had happened. I think the NOTL remake they even cut out the news broadcast and never give a reason.
Since Dawn (and Day, as well as the someday to be released City ) of the Dead is supposed to be a sequel to NOTD, I can see where he draws his conclusion. But, since the matter was unsolved in NOTD, and never explained in Dawn (or Day) of the Dead, no one knows where they came from. I wouldn't go by a promotoinal device on what a movie's plot is (ie: a poster). I know in Day of the Dead they do notice a connection between it and a virus through experiments underground (which would make this movie ahead of it's time in a way). I know there was some Italian spin off's of Dawn of The Dead (which was called Zombi in Italy) called Zombi 2 and 3 (and Island of the Dead) which actually did involve them being from hell.
that the websites who make money off of ads will not if nobody clicks on the advert. Websites with adverts only make money on a perclick basis, unlike movies and magazines who make money by the mere existance of the ad itself.
"Want to know how? It's all about exhibiting a willingness to work hard and take pride in your work. I've worked with guys who were smart, but of course, they thought they were too smart. It showed in their work because they couldn't do the job asked of them rather than the job they thought they should be doing"
That's it right there. And add in a willingness to start on the bottom and work your way up.
It's also a comparison of Lua and Python as well. Lua is much faster than Python. And it's got quite a following now, people who want to use it to make retro games. I'm suprised it made it to slashdot- I've been submitting stories for quite a while now (none to do with Freya, however) and been rejected quite a bit. I'm very glad they put it up, and a lot of people really like the engine and it's capibilities.
It's reverting back to the time before the net boom and bust. I think in 90's we had an explosion of half-skilled IT workers with no real training or abilities. Before the boom (adn the rise of the PC) most IT workers were a small select few of proffesionals. I think the shift is a good one- it keeps idiots out of my work place.
Last job I had I had been working with two kids out of college. Neither had a lick of programming knowledge, nor of any hardware knowledge. How they passed the classes is beyound me. They wanted to work on web design. They hadn't any graphical design skills, nor taking any courses in graphical design. It seems like they wanted the easy way out to get a "cool high paying job". They were fired within a month. They thought they could just ask everyone else how to code such and such a thing, or if they asked nicely someone else would do it for them. Digusting.
Call me bitter, but I got into this job because I love it. I don't understand the people that do it for any other reason. And working with people who don't love it is just frustrating. So, I see this as being a good shift- one that will move things back in the *proper* direction of IT. We are not just PC mechinics. We are designers, coders, engineers, mathmaticians and scientists.
One the names for the Nordic Godess's of earth (being that she has a gajillion names- like Jord and Frigg). FF9 is full of mother-earth Goddess references. The world they live on is Gaia, they visit a planet called Terra, Freija, etc etc
Anyway, here's some really good stuff on getting everything *but* dumb and dumbogg running on Linux (and he also made it really easy to get it runnning on arch linux): here
I had made with PyGame. It was going to be a Chrono Trigger style game and used it's own Map system and etc. After awhile, it began to slow down. I think Python and PyGame are good for small games running on faster systems, but on anything less than 1ghz I had problems with. And a lot of people are still running on 700-800mhz pentuims.
Anything of decent size for a game, and I don't think PyGame holds up. Not yet anyway.
Yup. It basically combines a lot of good allegro lib's (like DUMB, DUMBOGG, etc) and extends them to Lua. It's pretty effective as a fast and easy way to make games.

credibility.
For very good reason. If I want to read ill informed bad writing, I can get it on the internet for free.

I'm as retarded as they are. Elementary school was what I meant.

In short, he's probably more right than you are.

I think I might bring my wife and my daughter up to live there. Canada shall recieve a programmer with a +1 compiler of smiting.

Sorry about that. I'm going to contact the fblend author.
But I thought it was mentioned on Fblend's website- the stable version won't run in Linux, you need the latest unstable version.
I think it's here-> yup
Anyway, here's some really good stuff on getting everything *but* dumb and dumbogg running on Linux (and he also made it really easy to get it runnning on arch linux): here
Hope that helps.
PyGame is still in it's infancy, and if it wasn't for PyGame I would never have even thought about doing something like this.

Will do. Should be around January 2005.
