Yeah, a partial rework would be kinda awkward, unless you happen to have an XBox controller plugged into your PC ... "

Is it still due to be released: 09 June 2006 (i.e. just over five weeks)?

Ditto Visual C++ ... Mircrosoft's marketing strategy is to barnstorm the niche with a loss-leading entry-level user-friendly-smiley application, then proceed to add more and more bells and whistles, until the product competes with the market leader, and they aim for best-of-breed. Borland used to be the duck's nuts, but that was before most of you were born ... "

That sounds painful. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There was a joke to be made there, and I'm glad I didn't make it. ^_^ I'm contemplating re-downloading it (I've tried re-installing it, re-unzipping it and then re-installing it, and now I've cleaned my registry out) ... so I'm thinking I might be able to re-download it and re-install it, and it might work ...

It's a timed demo! I was just getting into it when it told me Game over, Man! Game Over! <_<

Feel the juice, Luke!

Too late!

The organised criminals who target online assets (websites, etc) of rich corporates use the threat (and a small demonstration, usually, of a smurf DDoS attack) to extort them (typically tens of thousands of dollars at a time).

Can you come around, then? I need a lift next week ...

Ah, the memory access stuff: that was what I was getting at. Thanks. Oh, I've used Java in business. But you can't implement assembler in it, that's for sure (otherwise it woudn't be platform-independent), and even C/C++ is pretty poorly implemented in machine code (especially by a certain Redmond compiler) ... try dissaembling parts of Windows, for example, you'd be amazed at how much decidely un-optimized junk is in there ... " So any real speed is generally garnered by a direct assembler-coded manipulation of the registers ... which is fiddly and generally only used for high-traffic subroutines (unless you are a friend of mine who prefers to programme in assembler).

He's a witch!

Thanks, I didn't remember much about Mr Shannon, until you mentioned it.

... And did it? "

New ransomware threat appears

! Penguins! :'(

That is just silly.

Cool. I was not sure if it was worth it YET, but if all the new (cool) games are released with widescreen in mind (I'm thinking 1020p), then that's great news!

Different. There aren't any nude skins for the characters in the Half-Life 2 product released to the public.

I wouldnt even call that a mod it would be an insult to mods. Developers should be responsible for anything left on the disk. Regardless if it needs to switched on. To do otherwise leaves the backdoor open to include content which was not rated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is what the Ratings' Board members are trying to manage: it doesn't matter, in the grand scheme of things, WHO is responsible, just that SOME PARTY IS. Chasing mod makers is not a fruitful pastime (as they don't have a lot of funds, compared to developers).

Bok, how have you found widescreen gaming? Is there a lot of support for it? Is it worth it, or should I wait (just buy a 1600x1200 CRT 20" for

I decided to play Deus Ex yesterday, instead of Oblivion (had a date with Walter Simons). Now downloading Space Rangers 2 (demo, until it is released here in a couple of weeks), and I've got Half-Life 2: Episode 1 prepaid and installed, and NwN 2 on the horizon ..!

just about to finish downloading ...

It's exactly the same, with pointers removed.
