As far as I know, the standard for games development is still C++ I have heard nothing but fantastic things about a textbook called "Effective C++" and "More Effective C++" but I don't know how introductory they are (I've been meaning to pick them up, but haven't had a chance). The one we used was Big C++, and it definitely gets things started nice and slowly.

He'd certainly still have his memories, and with his memories would be the interpretation of feeling that various events had for him.

As I read up on it a bit more, it sounds like the critics had more of an impression that it was purely for PR. I don't know what was or was not said prior, nor what was disclosed on the waivers they'd probably have to sign, but if everyone else was thinking it was purely for PR and not going to involve any competitive boxing, then I'd agree it was a low thing to do. The thing is, people hate Uwe Boll, so I'm not so sure criticisms towards the event are objective. Having said that, the Lowtax fight was still hilarious.

It's not that you forget you once had a reason to be angry/hate. It's that you don't care anymore. I guess it depends on what you think a 'soul' does for humans in the first place...not that I actually believe in a soul...but if I did, my vision is apathy, not action. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't think he'd be devoid of feeling. It just wouldn't be the same. The "feeling" he felt would pale in comparison to what once was, and as a result, he knew what he was missing.

I'm failing to find the point here. He opened an invitation and if someone feels like it, they could have accepted it. No one's forcing you to see Uwe Boll movies, so who give a crap if he wants to make them. You said he should be charged for assaulting a minor for pete's sake. So you don't like the guy....big whoop. The "No one forced Uwe to make movies" is a **** argument, plain and simple. You could just as easily say what's a stupid 17 year old doing getting into a ring with a guy that was an amateur boxer? It just seems like publicity for his new movie personally. And here we are talking about Uwe Boll, so it must have caught some attention. Not only that, but Uwe will put his challengers in Postal as extras and stand ins in the movie, as well as include clips of the boxing fights in the movie. But hey, no one forced Uwe Boll to make movies! EDIT: Uwe Boll is a crappy director and probably took the event way too seriously.

Errr, I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to here, as heuristics in computing science are used as part of algorithms. A* is a pathfinding algorithm that incorporates a heuristic. Without the heuristic, it ceases to be A* and becomes Djikstra's Algorithm.

No one was forced into boxing with him. The Lowtax one was awesome.

I did okay in my pool. Oilers win trumps all, so no matter what it's a good day. But I also got 3 goals, 6 assists, 6 PIM, +6, and 5 PP points. I also played Fernandez, who had a solid game. I'm thinking on dropping Niittymaki, as I don't think he'll play much with his injury. Not sure who I should pick up. I think MAF in Pittsburgh will be an excellent goalie, and he certainly played well tonight, but he could be a gamble still, as he's not really on a strong team. Not many goalies available though. The only bad things are that Toronto and Vancouver won. Though I have Daniel Sedin and Sami Salo in my pool, so at least they contributed.

Running around in Oblivion.

I think he should definitely use the top one!

The Hammernator is powerful. But it's almost a gimmick weapon. No one has lost wielding the Hammernator.

Killmatic!!

I think you need to face them 3 more times during the month as well. I honestly don't really mind the NHL schedule, even if it means my Oilers get to go up against Luongo, Kiprusoff, Fernandez, and (hehe) Theodore 8 times each.

What?

I find making Dead is Dead NPCs will more often than not just result in people loading their game more frequently. What would be super awesome r0x0r fun, would be if the story in some way acknowledged the death of a party NPC character later down the road, giving a slightly unique experience.

Dallas decides to play in the 3rd period, fights back for the big win. Which ultimately leaves me with squat! My roommate however, gets 1 goal from Modano, 2 assists and 2 powerplay points from Liles, and an excellent performance from Marty Turco!

The season is off to a great start as Toronto loses to Ottawa Daniel Briere also nets a GWG for my pool (funny, because he has 0 goals as it was a SO GWG ), as well as 4 PIM. Other active players are Zubov and Theodore.

You'll probably find yourself going through the anticlimax of realizing it's not any faster than had it been run on a single core CPU of the same speed.

I found that NHL/Oilers preview at the bus station, and am reading it right now

Hahaha, I really enjoyed that movie. Satire at its finest!

It probably wouldn't be the smartest idea for NK to nuke China.

Well, based on what I just said....yeah. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't follow the mod too closely, and I didn't know you were on the team. I thought you were just making an assumption. My choice of words could have been better, as it was more of a "They are actually supporting translations?"

Regular season starts....tomorrow! Oilers vs Flames Thursday! Oh, here's some less doom and gloom previews from TSN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qeZf6P01Kw I like Bob McKenzie. Pretty down to Earth and objective.

The impression I get with the Punisher is he is all about justice. I guess he's a bit different than Vhailor as there are laws that the Punisher breaks, but Vhailor seems like the best comparable to him...someone who's actions are dictated by laws, and judgment in particular.

Ah yes, I always forget about him. Why did he need to die again? Wasn't it because you couldn't get close to him, and he was going to launch a missile or something? IIRC he starts tossing LAMs at you.
