Do people really use WASD for navigation and games? I know that's the default configuration for a lot of things but to me it seems very unnatural, unless you hitting the W with the ring finger and even that it strange. Using ESDF if a much more natural since your fingers are at home position and the middle finger is appropriately used for UP.
I've played all versions of Tribes and without a doubt these games are best games of all time. There is a bit of a learning curve to them but once you get it the fun is endless especially if you play with group of friends or a good team. If you like FPS and you have not played them you have not lived.
If you just remember that M$ is evil and they want to be the only ones that makes and sales profitable software for windows you'll quicky realise that the purpose of any tool that M$ makes for developers is to hinder the developers.
Java may not have a preprocessor but that doesn't mean that I can't have something that is not exactly java which will be turned into jave. JSP, XSP are good examples.
Preprocessor does not mean just #ifdef and #define although there are valid reasons for using cpp with java.
What's at the top? It understands your code. The first thing you'll notice is the incremental compilation. You don't have to ctrl-z (or alt-tab or whatever) and run the compiler and wait. It compiles it as you're typing, and tells you where you've screwed up. That improves your efficiency right there.
This is all nice and good, but lets say you java source contains preprocessor instructions. How does eclipse handle that? Can I specify to run my preprocessor before the compiler as I'm typing.
Also, last time I looked at eclipse I couldn't find a way to open a single file without creating some project or something.
Editing anything is IDEs is a bigest waste of time I can imagine. vi (vim) is the most productive editor by far. IDEs are nice when you starting out but when you need to produce vim + some plugins can't be beat.
I just put together a list of exact components I want and send it to 2 or 3 small computer shops. One with best price/service is the one I buy from. When buying from the net you have account for shipping cost/time, also it usually takes a lot longer to resolve problems. Most small shops will "burn-in" your system so you don't have DOA componets and you know they work together.
From the readme: If at all possible, boot THL on a laptop & disconnect all external cables, including the power & mouse. Turn off nearby
radios, including cell phones and microwaves. Put yourself

Where can I get well grounded opaque copper cube? Can't find any on ebay.
- create a plan and stick with it
- provide direction
- ask for opinions of senior people and ask questions until you understand what's going on and why - listen
- keep your people informed (not spamed)
- respect, respect, respect
- micromanage only those who require it
- trust your people until they screw you over then give them one more chance
- if you have favorites don't let any of your people know including the favorites
- reward according to performanc
- show appreciation for good performance
CVS should give you most of what you want.
The only thing that CVS will not do for you
is diffs but I'm sure there are other programs
that will do diffs for Word, Excel, etc.
CVS doesn't mind binary files if you add them
with the -kb flag. The only thing to remember is
that CVS will store a copy of each version in
the,v file so they might get big with lots of
revisions.
We use WinCvs wincvs.[com|org] for our
non-technical users and they seem like it.
I also think there is an explorer plugin
that lets you perform CVS operation from the
explorer popup menu.

What's the history behind the silly WASD choice?

LOL, my exact feeling.

Now, that's actually useful infomation. I'll look into building a 'builder' for my preprocessor.
Now if only eclipse included VIM key bindings life would be great.

Since that would be useful as well
In Guelph, ON the city takes care of composting.
You sort your garbage into 3 bags:
blue - paper, glass, plastic, cans
green - compostable stuff.
clear - other (landfill stuf)
It's a bit of pain in the ass but I think it's worth it.
I wrote an official letter several months ago.
I hope it gets read. I wish I could be there but
Ottawa is just too far for me.
Do they publish transcripts from the hearings?
> I can't understand how in vi select some block of
:.,+10w newfile.txt
:w newfile.txt (when you do :w it will put

vi: put cursor on starting line of the block,
do
this will write 10 lines from cursor positeion
vim:Shift-V, cursor donwn/up to highligh the block
do
the highligh range before the w)
Good Luck...
