Your comprehension of a "Role Playing Game" is a bit broad. In just about any game you play, you are assuming the role of one of the charactors, so by your definition, almost all games are role playing games.
Games like Liesure Suit Larry are what we call "Graphic Adventures". This is an unfortunate name, because one who doesn't know the explicit definition of Graphic Adventure will confuse it with "Adventure" games like Diablo.
Spoken like a true wimp. Does your hairy, overbearing wife beat you when you rub her corns the wrong way?
If someones self esteem is broken so completely by a "bully", what is going to happen to them when they face the stresses and coldness of the working world?
There hasn't been one VB6 app that I have written that didn't work perfectly in WINE. It actually is a selling point when Im deciding on which RAD environment to use. And before anyone says anything, yes, some of these really were 1 million+ lines of code, full of API calls.
I just watched something on TV about Cyber-bullying. This obese girl demonstrated how she was constantly picked on over the internet. The result? She was getting floods of IM's from about 3 people saying nasty things. She begins crying like her life is over. Apparently, right clicking on their screenname and click "block this user" is too dificult a solution:|
Your average desktop OS application has no need for more than 32 bits, and in fact most of us would actually have slower machines with a 32bit user space
Horseshit. Memory Mapping of files is what comes to mind first... are you content being able to only memory map a file with a limit of 4GB? Didn't think so.
Being that a default install of Vista weighs in at 11GB, you should be caching like every DLL and system executable with that much ram. But then you think about it... how fricken long would it take for 4GB of data take to read off a hard drive and cached? And if it takes that long, WHAT *IS* Vista doing?
The fact that you cant even get a nick like DirtyTurtle278346812376 because it is already taken, why the hell would it be a good thing for something like OpenID to be poluted by AOLs obnoxious user list?
Onlookers warn that current US defenses against these attacks are 'dysfunctional', and that more aggressive measures should be taken to ensure government network safety.
Sure... drop some bombs. What could possibly go wrong?
Um... You DO know that ActiveX is just a spiced up DLL with some standard COM implementations... not just a hokey security hole in your IE. Damn the world for making component resue easier. If it wasn't for those damn VB6 "programmers"... right.
Hesus. $1600. What a load of horse shit. Its cheaper and probably smarter to just jam an extra 4GB of ram and make a ramdrive than using a solid-state device at that cost.
PE stands for "Portable Executable", which is just one of a handful of binary formats for executables. It was/is actually a modified version of the old Unix COFF format. The most widely used, especially in Unix is ELF, or "Executable and Linking Format". This has nothing to do with windows... PE or otherwise.
SkyOS used to use PE before switching to ELF. So did BeOS. There are several hobby-os's out there that currently use it. The problem with the PE format is that is is inadequate for some special purposes. This is why Microsoft continually "extends" it, which leads to new formats like.NET PE, PE+ (or PE32), and the PE format that Windows CE uses (not sure if it has an official name yet)

I'm just the messanger. Please don't kill me.
So, are you telling me, like in your example, when it prompts me, it doesnt even evaluate whether I pressed "ok" or "cancel"?
Do you know what happens to the weak Zebra that can't take care of themself? They get eaten by a lion.

While I know you were talking specifically to the desktop oriented versions of Windows 32-bit, there is obviously code there somewhere to do it.

The only way I see ANY logic in this, is if Internet Addiction is considered a disability.... which causes you to look at porn... right.
:I
Maybe I can get away with classifying my need to punch stupid people in the face as a disability. After all, I shouldn't be fired for that

The CPU identifier is bullshit. The Pentium II certainly didnt support SSE3, or any SEE for that matter.
I completely disagree. I work with plenty of OS's that don't have USB support at ALL when you need it.... like at the installer phase.
There is more to this than using your new sparkly USB keyboard via Windows.
Only in the past week? Where is the rock that you live under?
Who needs a meter... all you need is a paperclip, connect the only green wire to a black ground, and plug it in. If it turns on, it should be fine.
ComScore. With a reputation like theirs, it must be true!
As long as they dont start putting buttons ON TOP of other button, I think well all be safe

MS did the same thing with BeOS...
"If you want to continue selling Windows machines, youll forget about this little BeOS thing"
You DO know that most PE based OS's use .exe for executables don't you?
Maybe not.
