XKCD does Minecraft:And opiates. Minecraft and opiates. Sounds like a match made in heaven ^_^-Deozaan (February 16, 2011, 02:20 AM)
It takes longer to start up from Hibernate on my netbook than doing a fresh boot. :-/Ugh. HOW slow is the harddrive?-Deozaan (February 16, 2011, 12:01 AM)
And when they do, it will give them within one-click access to some 100-mn+ credit cards."Pft, that doesn't cost more than $100 max from your favorite Russian or Ukranian vendors-zridling (February 15, 2011, 05:31 PM)
Click PC....D'oh. Right there in the middle of the top of the page, so obvious that I would never have spotted it without that comment-Josh (February 15, 2011, 10:06 AM)
No, it's DVD based tooThat's PS3, though, not PC. But oooooh, there was a recommendation from that link - ICO + SOTC, didn't know they had remastered it for PS3. Those games =-Josh (February 15, 2011, 07:11 AM)
i think i'll wait a few months until it hits the bargain-bucket on amazon.Hm, isn't it a steam-only game?-nudone (February 15, 2011, 06:38 AM)
C++ is ancient and needs to die.)No, but people need to use the right tool for the right job. Many who are doing C/C++ should probably be doing C# instead (or not be programming at all), but saying that C++ needs to die is is stupid; you just don't get the same kind of computational performance in C#.-Renegade (February 14, 2011, 08:12 AM)
As I understand it, merely linking MPL code to your code doesn't 'infect' it like it would with GPL code (at least that's my understanding).Sounds pretty darn reasonable & pragmatic to me-mwb1100 (February 13, 2011, 10:55 PM)
Actually, it wouldn't - the 16-bit UCS-2 (as opposed to Windows' UTF-16) unfortunately doesn't cover every possibly glyph. I've been considering whether it wouldn't be simpler if we just nuked every country with stuff that can't be represented in UCS-2, but there's probably mathematicians or physicists that disagreeI welcome our new 1-byte-character-set overlords.Assuming their bytes are sized 16 of our bits, all would be just fine-mouser (February 13, 2011, 05:41 AM)-Ath (February 13, 2011, 08:42 AM)
(and humanists, but who cares about them?)If people are curious I can post more about the character set issues and our sleuthing and final solutions.Please do!-mouser (February 12, 2011, 07:22 PM)
btw where are you seeing these USB 2.0 60+ MB/s reads?That is the theoretical limit, and you're going to see a lot lower speeds in reality because of protocol overhead. That said, even sucky onboard controllers can deliver 30MB/s (and onboard by itself is no excuse for bad performance - in theory it could perform a lot better than addon PCIe controllers). And the perfectly achievable 30MB/s USB2 rates are a lot better than what you see for most pendrives.-MilesAhead
