1) Your employer will never give you sufficient time to finish what you need to do. Bend over and take it. It comes with the job
2) Never blame someone else directly, even if it is obviously someone else's fault
3) Don't expect overtime pay. You'll never get it. If you ask for it, things will conveniently become a "this isn't working out" situation
4) The salesmen will sell things that you probably can't provide without working 24/7 for the next 6 months. They will also likely make 4x what you make, plus commission. Bend over and take it.
5) Do NOT EVER NEVER EVER bring in personal code to work... even if it suits the situation/project. Not only will you be expected to then provide some more goodies in your off-time, you pretty much lose the right to it of any legal ambiguity occurs.
6) Get every promise in writing. Whether it a bonus, "comp time" for late/extra hours worked, whatever.
"lose" and "loose" are a tricky pair because they operate contrary to pretty much the rest of English. The difference between the two is an extra "o", but it doesn't change the "o" sound at all. It changes the "s" sound. And when your fingers are operating faster than your brain, "loose" seems to be a more appropriate spelling of "lose" anyway (because the general rule being that "lose" sound like "low-ze"), so our brain tends to skip over it in a rush.
The thing with lawyers is... whether they are a saint, or whether they are a horrible human being that takes advantage of everyone and everything they can, they still get paid, and they still keep their job. Look at Jack Thompson for christ sake.
It flat out doesn't matter. I have seen countless articles disappear because they were nominated for being "retarded" or "no one cares". SkyOS in perticular is constantly nominated for deletion, I think mainly because some poor asshat wants the OS for free, and can't have it his way.
Not only that... but anyone who has ever had to wear these glasses, they are so uncomfortable, that even the appeal of the visual 3d effects isn't enough to wear them for more than minutes.
Guess who has their main office within NIH grounds? Kellogg Brown & Root... the other side of Halliburton. They don't want their dirty little secrets to get mixed up in the frey and exposed.
*cough*Computer aided DRAFTING*cough*. Drafting is "process of drawing", while design tells me... well, it is a finished design. Fully qualified, "CAD design" becomes "Computer aided process of drawing design".
You know... I have another theory about psychics. The quote from Bon Jovi comes to mind: "It's all the same. Only the names have changed". I am not convinced they just know things by some magical power that only few possess (see "narcissistic deity complex " or better known as "God Complex". It is much more likely, and much more reasonable that the world and its people are predictable... and these psychics are just good at absorbing the patterns, even if it isn't obvious to themselves.
Games in the 80's were unique. No one wanted to play a cheap rip-off. Especially if we are talking arcade games. If you walk into an arcade today (providing you can find one), they are fighting games, driving games, or light-gun games. All so similar. All so mediocre.
It is about development practice in general. One day, likely soon, our home/work machine will be a single node on a whole cluster. It would be akin to running a single-threaded app on one of todays multicore cpu desktops.
Using processes over threads will also benefit when it comes to cluster computing. You can't really migrate a thread to another node, because then you have shared memory coherency issues. However, migrating a process is much easier.
Just perfect. Again science, devoid of morality, irresponsibly exposes us all to unknown and possibly fatal dangers in its maniac quest to unearth that which man is not meant to know.
If we weren't meant to know it, how come we have the knowledge and compulsion to do so?
It can't be done. The OS in encumbered by crap from Microsoft and COUNTLESS other contributors. Sun had quite a time releasing Solaris as open-source, and they owned almost all of it.

Moral of the story: Even when you think a goto is OK, you will still get eaten by a dinosaur.

kthx
I hate to break it to you, but Greyskull was recently paved over and replaced by a Walmart.

So... does that stand for "GDDR Double Data Rate"?
What about Mel's Hole? Is it there?
... actually making the gameplay any fun at all. Who cares about perfect eyeball movement in a game that will bore you to death?
I don't know... that is what made XEyes such a great game!

This is your public service announcement.

Is it madness that pushes us to end it all, or sanity in being able to see what it all really is...
Wait. Are you actually saying that games don't exist outside of a mmorpg?

I refuse to let the meme die! Even if it completely irrelevant. I will beat this horse until its organs stain my clothes.

Haven't you ever been lazy and just copy-and-pasted some code to somewhere else? Don't lie. That is probably what happened here~
When I was in school, Steroids cost $800 a cycle. How the hell are these kids paying for it?
