Does it count if it isn't finalized? I haven't done any other gun types that SMGs, which I did plan to do. But I need tons of graphic content to do so, and I am not able to produce it myself.I'd personally say yes, as long as you have something that works - like the general framework, and a full implementation for SMGs.-p3lb0x (December 05, 2012, 05:09 AM)

Never.*former* Microsoft executive.Perhaps... but conversely, how many times have you looked at Windows/MS X and thought are these friggin people stoned?
If he still was executive there and people did as he, perhaps Microsoft would be in a better... state? ;-)-f0dder (December 04, 2012, 09:24 AM)-Stoic Joker (December 04, 2012, 06:57 PM)
Oh, look! Here comes f0dder, I'm sure he'll clean it up...Hardly, since I don't actually know whether transcoding is the correct term or not - which is why I asked if there's any better terms :-)-wraith808 (December 04, 2012, 02:05 PM)
If you are talking about RAID 0, again a synchronizing program which synchronizes between a pair of 2TB HDD periodically seems to be a better solution then RAID 0, because you can copy file to the HDD faster.Eh... wat? Copying a file to a single harddrive is no faster than copying it to a raid mirror. The same data chunk can be written to all mirrored drives in parallel, and there's practically no CPU overhead. There's a fair amount of filesystem traversal (which means both CPU and HDD overhead) if you do periodic syncing.-tslim (December 02, 2012, 08:37 AM)
so I could never see what the hassle was with just loading a DVD into a player before settling in for an hour or two to watch it. But maybe that's just me?DVD/BR players are noisy, and then you have to deal with all the annoying menus, copyright warnings and trailers that can't be skipped.-40hz (December 02, 2012, 12:13 PM)
I totally think it's possible for https to provide the encryption advantages it has while being able to somehow intercept ads.It isn't. Or rather, it isn't for programs like privoxy and admuncher. And even that is not entirely correct.-superboyac (December 03, 2012, 12:19 AM)
Yeah, I'm sort of confused how Newzbin2 had subscription fees *and* had to shut downBecause it was a warez site, and payment processors started dropping them for fear of legal flak?-JavaJones (November 30, 2012, 03:35 PM)
I can almost understand RAID-1 (mirror) for personal use. A mirrored drive combined with a disciplined backup/sync strategy is a terrific combination for people involved in creative work where it would be hard or impossible to get back something in all its original glory if you lost it. But I wouldn't bother with any other level of RAID for personal machines at this stage of the game.Amen.-40hz (November 26, 2012, 08:38 PM)
Oh, I don't have any myself - I'm not in that game. But just consider how long something like the linux IPX protocol nullptr deref in proto_ops was around before "it was found"? :-)Heh. Finally the year of the linux desktop, eh?Care to share a few? I'm all ears!
Don't kind yourselves that linux hasn't been massively exploited before, it has - the really juicy exploits are kept pretty private, though, since it's just so much more valuable being able to penetrate select targets rather than getting a (very) few zombie nodes...-f0dder (November 24, 2012, 03:23 PM)-40hz (November 24, 2012, 04:57 PM)
I understand where you're coming from, and I do believe there's too much FUD about Win8... and people bitching at it for the wrong reasons (oh noes, start menu is gone, zomgzomgozomg!). I've been bitching a bit af friends that have been doing that kind of silly bitching.I'll keep it to "First they came for the [...], and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a [...]. - and I'm sorry, but no, I don't think that's fatalist thinking. Looking at what Apple is doing and speculating(!) that Microsoft wants to do the same, I do think that's the way we're heading... unless enough people protest.-f0dder (November 22, 2012, 07:00 PM)
And that's fine. But much like the end of the Myan calendar, we won't know what will actually happen until after it actually happens ... Regardless of how convincingly prophetic ones diatribes may be.
The thing that I'm feed up with, is the simple fact that it seems near impossible to have a discussion about the OS, as specifically and only an O. S. Without it almost instantly denigrating into a discussion about its role as a sociopolitical pawn in a bid for global domination.

You're reminding me of this game:Wow, trip down memory lane, and a feeling og being veeeeeeery old, all of a sudden. Paranoia was one of the first computer games I played, back on the C=64. Never quite figured out what it was all about, died all the time... Last Ninja was more my kind of thing back then =)

When I first left DonationCoder, it was because of personal problems between me and my better half...I was spending WAY to much time online, and letting my actual relationship deteriorate. Obviously, once I had realized this, I had to take drastic action in order to resolve things between me and ....Been there, done that - literally.
