not sure who came up with the idea first, but it looks like id is trailblazing again, this time with quake live. of course, kudos for the tribes guys for following suit.
i would still have it, sherlock. someone else would have it, too, but it wasn't _taken_ from me. besides, potential income is not income. we both know people who download stuff wouldn't magically appear in stores the second the internet went dark.
actually, the real reason is that it works as advertised, is damn fast and there's a Really Big and Important Project using it - namely, the Linux kernel. any sane person will admit that if a project of such size is using something, then it's at least an option to consider.
OTOH, hg is used by openjdk and mozilla, and bzr by launchpad (which means shuttleworth's $$$ are behind it.) it's not like there's no choice, the principles are similar.
like when you don't have to manually list commits you want to merge back into a branch, and that if you merge, it doesn't look like one big diff in the history.
I'm working on a small project with 4 people at the moment, and SVN is perfectly fine, and I can't really imagine what I'd do with a distributed version control system (I'd just use it like a centralized one, pushing everything to the one repo everyone pulls from).
it's worth it for local, offline commits even if you're working alone.
I've worked professionally with a hammer and it was totally unusable. We've had 4 finger smashes a week. Hammers are absolutely unusable on real world projects; worse, they're counter-productive due to that finger crap.

apparently half of europe is a small subset of their users, way to go!
what you complain about defines quake, so i don't give much hope that it'll change.
so enlighten us and tell us if it _is_ good because an MMO+Freespace=pure win from my POV.
you are not unreasonable, you are off topic. standardized connectors are badly needed.
morality is like an ass, everybody has his own.

DES? DES is too weak. It's either AES or don't bother.
sounds like a mutual agreement, then.
not a single ad here, sorry. noscript+adblock plus.
if a refresh doesn't help, i click on my huge bigass Ctrl+W and never come back in such cases.
yeah, when it's sleeping in a blocking read(). well, maybe that's not a good reason.
still, RTP+SIP or H.323 should do everything this does, unless it's got some uber-feature that at least one of those two doesn't have. which i doubt.
IIRC Angband bots did that.

like how? you want to weld them to a steel scaffold and flood that with concrete?
here's me doing googling for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable
was the project leader called Mierin by any chance?
Ask a grandmaster what chess is before claiming that it's strategy.
i think your high school teacher had several orders of magnitude of problems.
no way we're letting those scientist free the Dark One. boring through the crust is strictly forbidden.

ever heard of this mono thing?
The view should do ZERO processing.
practicality beats purity.
