now if only they'll put some damn memory in whatever device they announce. "1 gig of memory!" does not mean 256mb RAM and 768mb swap. that's probably the biggest thing that annoyed me about the n900. it was outdated on release day. (that and the goofy ass 3 row keyboard. guys... splurge for a digit row for christ's sake. let us use something resembling a true qwerty setup. having to pop open a menu or remap the keyboard is a complete fail. use the g1 if you need a reference.)
i will be thinking very hard before i adopt meego. if the device is anemic i'll probably just save my duckets and end up toughing it out with maemo.
this won't stop the illegal alien on his 4th DWI. (5th?)
hefty install cost, monthly fees, and a camera? fuck it. if the judge thinks there's a risk just go ahead and leave them in jail -- maybe release a few nonviolent offenders if there's no room.
i believe that the AC was pointing out that "C" as defined by "the standard" (whether that be ANSI or ISO) is pretty thin in terms in built-ins.
even old hands can find interesting tidbits once in a while though. wanna fuck with someone? include and use this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iso646.h
"I've found these are often the same people who advise C programmers to 'always compile in non-optimized debugging mode' because they cannot comprehend their program's behavior when there isn't a trivial mapping of line/statement to machine instructions in the step debugger."
usually people advise that because it makes it easier for them to track down shitty bugs that inevitably work their way in due to decisions that were previously made (be that design, time management, or other) and often out of their control.
C isn't your friend. it won't hold your hand. if someone wants their debugging symbols let them have them. once the code is mature and stable then you crank on -O and remove -g
i realize they do, i just disagree with that decision. a 10 false positive difference over 46,000 samples does not justify a 20% less overall detection rate.
It's worth pointing out that when you take false positives into account Eset Nod32 becomes the only AV solution to achieve the "Advanced+" rating.
it's also worth pointing out that avira's 17 false positives when looking at 46,000 files is pretty damn small. i think i'll take the 17 false positives over the 7 false positives knowing that it caught 20% more of the REAL threats any day.
so what if you miss out on that "legit" ecard.exe your grammy mailed you because avira thought it was fishy...? nod32 has a higher chance of letting the real malware through while avira is more likely to stop it.
i wonder which company is employing real researchers and which company is riding on the output of virustotal.com.
as long as you don't try to do online bill pay. i haven't checked in on it in several months, but i couldn't get my father to switch "all-the-way" because of it.
fyi, any recent xbox modchip will happily play PAL games in NTSC. remember, it's a computer. changing something like resolution and refresh rate is trivial.
the biggest gain MCGA had was in colors... with 256 colors usable on screen, it was approaching vga. it didn't have the extensive resolutions of vga, but...
320x200 with 256 colors and a soft palette is better than 320x200 with 4 colors and a hard palette. mcga still beats the tar out of cga any day.
hell, the c64 was doing better than cga colorwise. =/ little hard to explain, but the gist of it was that you could use 320x200 with 2 out of 16 colors in any 8x8 square. alternatively, there was also 160x100 with 4 out of 16 colors in any 8x8 square. hard palette of 16 colors at half the resolution, but at least you could tell what you were looking at.
and then there was the fact that there were non-native routines to get around the color limitations... they ate cpu on the commodore like ravers on candy, but it allowed for some pretty screens.
well, that carries two implications. #1 -- xbox didn't have japanese companies making their games. well guess what... it certainly wasn't for lack of trying. #2 -- microsoft was attempting to recruit developers and couldn't. why? no one expected the xbox to be worth the development time as it hadn't sold like crazy and just didn't have the numbers.
chicken+egg problem. it doesn't help that if you go to almost any japanese department store the ps2/nintendo/gba/etc section is enourmous and the xbox section is _itty-bitty_. just trying to find the ps2/gamecube title you're looking for can be excrutiatingly painful. why? too many titles all over the place! finding the xbox title you're looking for is a pain in the ass too. why? no one carries it. =]
my girlfriend works for an oncology center in georgia. she calls blue cross/blue shield every day to verify insurance claims. they moved their lines to jamaica a few months ago.
regardless, at that point, you're no longer passing a Foo, you're passing a Bar.
fool, c++ is strongly typed. casting is merely a method of acknowledging that types disagree, but also pointing out that you don't care....and why the hell would you cast to a Bar *, take the address of, and THEN dereference?
baz((Bar)foo); would have done the same thing.
i suppose you're one of those guys that does this number: printf("%d", &somearray[4]); someone teach these people pointer arithmethic.
hell, man. i still run a bbs. it's telnet only now, and *NO DOOR GAMES*, but it's still a bbs. i have custom ansi artwork and some nice posting still goes on.
telnet to tir tairngire (name means land of promise in gaelic), just make sure you use an ANSI client (go to http://tirtairngire.net for directions if you need one).
i tried moslo, but it has(had?) the problem of running semi-jerky in most games that i was interested in. example: it worked fine with wing commander ii, but the game was so jerky that it was unplayable anyway.
*sigh* i want a turbo button on my computer. except, instead of halving my speed, i want it to drop down to 33MHz so i can play all my old games properly under dos.
anyone who's been following the news for longer than a day or two realizes that the internet is moving towards regulation (whether we like it or not). i just hope it won't become so regulated that it's unusable. a lot of this article is just review, pointing out conclusions that most of us have already come to.
Dolby Digital does not mean 5.1 sound. Dolby Digital is a method of encoding. It even comes in a mono variety. While I wont claim that the SMS thing is legal -- it's entirely possible to have the game sound output to Dolby Digital.

his code is guaranteed to return 0 as per iso99 - 5.1.2.2.3.1 -- "...reaching the } that terminates the main function returns a value of 0."

you realize that MCGA and CGA _ARE_ different, right?
CGA was horrible. MCGA was closer to VGA.

I would point out the case Brookfield v. West Coast Entertainment.

name disputes are ugly.
and next they'll be regulating web cams. how silly can the ideas get?
i liked the internet more when it was kinda like the old west... lawless.

now that's what i call storage. it's about damn time they used a drive instead of solid state stuff.
and since it's got that much space, we just have to convince 'em to drop a vga card in so we can use our winamp plugins. =)
