  1. The X box is cool on Microsoft Releases First X-Box Screens · · Score: 1

    My company has hired over 200 developers to develop games for this platform. We work close with MS on getting games for thi platform. So far we are working with ID on porting a version of Q3 to that box. Also Epic Games has also gone into a contract with our developer team to port some of thier games to this X box.

  5. reasons not to open source on Open Source Quake Causes Cheating? · · Score: 1

    Yet another reason why giving people the code to your programs. This happends to 99% of all open source games. And almost 4% closed source games

  6. Uhhh wtf on Parts of the Unreal Engine to be Opened · · Score: 1

    Uhh yeah, you get to redistribute the changes back to the guy you got it from. And, because of that, your second question is answered. If he likes your code then everyone will see the improvements in the form of a good product. What do I think about a company that makes money off of volunteer programmers? Volunteer programmers develop and contribute to the kernel source code. Linus Tarvolds examines and approves the code and puts it into the kernel source tree. Then companies like Red Hat and Caldera come along and do what American businesses do best, make money. Sounds like the same thing to me.

    "Dr. Dobb's Journal, November, 1992 " The year is 1999 not 1992. For proof, just go to any book store and you will find a lot of programming books on windows APIs. Also see http://www.developer.com is a good resource.

    I have noticed it on most applocations that run under both OSs.

  14. MS's APIs are not hidden. on Communicator Is Losing The War..... · · Score: 1

    I've develop programs using MFC and I can say that there are not APIs that MS has that are not documented. That is to say all GUI APIs are all available to anyone wanteding to develop software for windows. Anyone that wants to develop any windows app has the same info that any developer at MS has. So all this crap about how MS has hidden thier APIs is total bullshit. Now I know they are not open source but the docs are all there. System calls are all documented as well.

  15. WHy bother? on Communicator Is Losing The War..... · · Score: 0

    I don't even know why anyone would bother using/developing Netscape anymore. I thought Netscape was achient technology kind of like Linux. They both go well together.

  16. Netscape has bugs on Communicator Is Losing The War..... · · Score: 1

    "IE surpassed Communicator because there are fewer bugs, a better development staff behind IE, tighter integration with Microsoft products, frequent free upgrades and security patches," said David Howell, director of IS at PED Manufacturing Ltd., an Oregon City, Ore., maker of castings for medical implants and aerospace components. I totally agree with this guy. Since Enterprise Rent-A-Car switched to IE 2 years ago, we have had a much better browser. Our clients/staff/customers are much happier now that we have switched to a browser that supports ALL WEB technologies.

  17. Re:some thoughts on Communicator Is Losing The War..... · · Score: 1

    Because MS does not charge for thier web browser.

  18. IE is the standard on Communicator Is Losing The War..... · · Score: 1

    I work for Enterprise Rent-A-Car and we hve 35,000 employees and our IT staff deploy only IE to all the PCs in the company. We do not allow software that's not in the standards folder \\fscorp00\images\niche Netscape is not in the niche. IE is faster, can view more websites, and is all arround a better browser.

    MS Office 2000 would be a better solution. Document sharing in our envirament ( 35000 desktop users ) helps out a hell of a lot. Group sceduling and calandering is awsome.
