Daikatana seems to be the "Ribbon interface" of games. It's the game everyone has learned to whine about, but in reality there is not anything terribly bad about it.
Daikatana has overly bad reputation. SiN has overly good reputation. They both are on the same line. Not best shooters on the planet, but still quite nice snacks. There are waaay worse games than those.
Daz loader. All anyone ever needs. I've slic modded my share of BIOSes too, but ever since EFI it's just less hassle to use the loader, and it works 100% of the time.
Daz Loader is good, but it does not support UEFI installations, because of the GPT partition format.
What comes to OEM installations, with some trickery there is also a possibility to feed the BIOS SLIC key to Windows Software Licensing Management Tool. This allows to install without an OEM-specific installation media, and it's also legal as you're using the legitimate key from the sticker.
For instance Chrome and Internet Explorer are both proprietary applications. And before you get on me about Chrome not being proprietary I wouldn't consider any program which includes non-free bits free software.
Who cares? Even Firefox is developed by a tight group of developers who can pour anything in the absolutely massive codebase. I don't think there is any practical difference between free and non-free. That something is proprietary does not automatically mean that the makers want to screw you. I don't know why that attitude is so widespread in Slashdot. Both parties, free and non-free, strive to create a product that works for the users.
It will help prevent your game from having a generic feel.
It's interesting that you point that out. I have also noticed that I can put my finger on some games and know that they have been made with Unity. For example, The Long Dark or Shelter. Great games but there's the certain "Unity feel" in them. I'm not completely sure what makes it.:)
I am not completely familiar with the matter, but I remember hearing that using signed types in some situations can be a better choice, even when the value would normally be used to represent only a non-negative value. It could make overflows more obvious and calculating deltas might be easier? If someone actually knows about this stuff, feel free to chime in.
As a sidenote, there exists a somewhat famous bug in Windows 95 and 98 (later patched) that caused these operating systems to stop functioning after 49.7 days of uptime.
One tip for those who are using regular VS though. Not many know that there is actually an integrated hex editor.
In the "Open File" dialog, select a file and then choose "Open With..." from the pull-down menu in the bottom. A new dialog pops up from which you can select "Binary Editor".
Not necessarily. For example, I could be eating vanilla ice cream day after day, but if I one day experimented with chocolate ice cream, I might say "yowzers, I didn't realize how awesome this is!"
Same thing with jobs. We might find new aspects of working if we introduce more of the other gender into the workplace. Who knows, right?
Actually we are talking about two different things here. We can look at the variance of male/female ratios across different jobs. Or, we can look at the male/female ratio inside some specific job.
The best part is when you then plug the device into a different USB port and it goes through the whole minutes-long process again.
While I am a Windows man these days, I often belly laugh when that happens. Why the heck does it do that? It happens even with simple memory sticks if they are inserted into an USB port in which they have not been before.

It wouldn't make a good campfire story. We did also see a bright orb of light and a hear distant animal howl, didn't we?
But they could issue an update through their new updater launcher which adds DRM.
One of their core ideologies is to be DRM-free. Breaking that promise would upset a lot of customers, so it's unlikely that they are going to do it.
There are some serious stinkers on GOG.
Daikatana, for instance.

Good.
Does the brightness control skip steps?

Programmers are stupid too, so if they can get away with a dumbed-down programming language like BASIC, that's their choice.

Right, but you still have to do the research if the game has "registry crap". It's more relaxing to just have the installer take care of all that.

Interesting question actually.
Not really. That's basically just saying that there are different jobs with fixed male/female characteristics.
Honestly, why do you need to forcefully increase it?
To create a more varying and interesting world.
You don't archive games by storing the installation folders. GOG gives you the full independent installer which is the proper way.
Thanks for the explanation. There seems to be a motivation to do so then.
history of (a) sloppy reporting and (b) completely ignoring requests for making corrections.
So 100% Slashdot-compatible? ;)

I hear that due to some KMS changes, AGP on SMP is currently broken.
What process is hogging this memory?
I don't see why a project couldn't be forked internally in a company as well, and possibly even be maintained by the same team.
