  1. Re:No windows required! on Doom 3 Minimum Specs Revealed · · Score: 1


    If I remember correct, Carmack is no big fan of Direct3D. He uses OpenGL so the chances are big [quake 3 was developed for linux first, remember?]

  2. I remember... on Doom 3 Minimum Specs Revealed · · Score: 5, Funny

    DOOM running smoothly on my 486/DX with 4MB of RAM.

    I got really upset when the next big game [heretic] required a minimum of 8MB. I had to pay $180 for that...

  3. Re:AA++ on Firewalls and Internet Security, Second Edition · · Score: 1

    Well, I have read them all and yes, the first edition was ground-breaking.

    BTW, it was infinitly more well written [that is, readable] than Knuths "Art of..." :)
    Still today, if I need something fast, I rather look at Cormens "Introduction to Algorithms" and only if I dont find what I seek, I will open Knuths book. And where the hell is the fourth book ? :)

    I am pretty sure that Zeus is based on Apache code.

  5. please tell me guys... on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 1

    Tonight (if its not already done) all those 31 "bugs" are removed from the apache CVS tree. Now, who said opensource development is not effective?

    When will the "only 0.51/KLOC" IIS bugs will be removed? next service pack?

  6. sorry, but thats pure BS... on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 3, Informative


    One of the explanations (given by Reasoning) for a NULL pointer dereference is "can occur in low memory conditions," which I think means the original allocator did not check for malloc failure.


    appache got its own malloc() that kills the child (and closes connection) if it fails to allocate enough bytes.

  7. Re:Wrong Math on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 2, Informative

    yeah, that was actually my point. nice someone got it :)

    The source of most free software [KDE is an exception] tend to be smaller, more readable and more effective. Ever wondred why winword.exe is 10.598.984 bytes?

  8. BSD codestyle... on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 3, Funny


    The defect density of the Apache code inspected was 0.53 per thousand lines of source code...


    We can bring this number down to 0.2 by avoiding the BSD style guidlines. No kiddings, have you seen the density of MFC code?

    BSD code:

    char*
    foo(int bar, double baz)
    {

    /* do something */
    return bar + random();

    }



    MS code:

    char* Foo(int nBar, double dBaz) { return bar + random() + m_ExtraWindowsBugModifier(); }

  9. Re:Why use jpg's for screen shots on X11 in ASCII · · Score: 1

    if you compare them you see that the JPEGs are actually smaller, due to the heavy use of

    Yeah, people die of hunger in parts of the world and what do we waste or times with?

    SCREENSHOTS
    Paul Wilkins, who apparently has waaaay to much free time, has graciously donated two HTML "screenshots" of ttyquake which he created by hand. No, really. He typed in all those little characters while reading from jpeg screenshots I sent him. His mother must be so proud.

    ... did they mentioned that some access points go down to modem speed if WEP is on? The on board CPUs simply cant keep up doing WEP/64.
