    The Holy Graal of Programming: Games' Engines

    The last sentence is where the logic breaks down. I think you can be very good technically at engine design and still not have a good enough design to sell licenses. It is only profitable to design with this intent if you can sell licenses. It is much more tedious and therfore time consuming to...

    The Holy Graal of Programming: Games' Engines

    Presumably assuming the engine met all technical criteria, if the fees were too oppressive then they would have written their own. The engine is not alone in a license. Also included are the world building tools. One tries to avoid re-inventing the wheel when possible. That said there are...

    Need inexpensive Ultra160 SCSI Controller

    Yeah, succinctly the bug has been fixed and SCSI speeds are no longer abnormally high. The same applies to W2k SP3. I believe that there is still a problem with dynamic disks though.

    Need inexpensive Ultra160 SCSI Controller

    Could you take a picture of it? I have had this idea in the back of my mind for a while but without any woodworking experience or workshop I haven't acted on it.

    The state of overclocking

    The clearest identifier for me has always been the micron size for the die. Observing the descriptions on Pricewatch, the 2200 are .13 micron and the 2100 are .18 micron. Is this a valid identifier? What happened to .15, I recall this being the next step after .18?

    MSN Messenger cannot log this morning

    My bet is that some kind of corruption propogated to whoknowswhere; and that once the problem is fixed the fix wil also propogate. Could have been something as simple as a DNS error or complex as database corruption.

    Re:Intel Builds In More Built In Obsolescence

    As I see it, the difference is in the way the companies making motherboards have overlapped the technologies. This eases the pain of an upgrade. With the Intel solutions, quite often it is a significant investment. It is not a problem that the older chipsets don't support the newest chips. The...

    How do you get rid of the stupid Macromedia Flash pop-up?

    I know I'm a little late but did you try adshield.org. JKKJ meantioned it earlier. Supposedly you can easily switch it on and off. On a side note I ran across this site today, "Flash is Evil". :D

    FreeBSD 5.0 RC2 released, 5.0 final scheduled for January 17

    This brings up a good question for me. I have installed both Linux and freebsd in the past and its about time for me to make a permanent installation and concerted effort to "convert". You needn't be concerned with "It depends on what you want to do" type arguments because It will be on a spare...

    POLL: who is your favourire LOTR character?

    Nope. I understood that Gimli was going to be the comic relief but the two times I saw it Gollum got more laughs than Gimli. Especially in the scene with Gollum's inner-struggle. I did have some issues with Gollum's CG but I don't want to influence others to look for it so I wont meantion it...

    Neverwinter Nights

    From what I can tell from the box at the store and online stuff it does look cool. I think it is very new. A couple weeks ago the website implied that it was still in beta. It looks to be a D&D type game where one of the players can actually make the world and introduce monsters at will. Can...
