  1. I use Omega drivers ... (they have the built-in framerate readout in the top right hand corner, colour-coded red for low (sub 25fps) and yellow for acceptable) ... I find it better than the official ATi ones, primarily because the ATi drivers aren't fully functional on a lapto ... Certainly no damage can be done, and you can always rollback the driver.
  2. Poached Salmon In A White Wine Sauce: Number Ones
  3. So you are just talking about superficially, and not talking about character traits?
  4. Well, they are both female ...
  5. Currently downloading demo #2 ...
  6. BSD Unix native C compiler ... " ... anything is better than the FTL* Modula-2 compiler. *Faster Than Light
  7. Yeah, a partial rework would be kinda awkward, unless you happen to have an XBox controller plugged into your PC ... "
  8. Is it still due to be released: 09 June 2006 (i.e. just over five weeks)?
  9. 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 ... "
  10. 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 ...
  11. It's a timed demo! I was just getting into it when it told me Game over, Man! Game Over! <_<

  13. Too late!
  14. 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).
  15. Can you come around, then? I need a lift next week ...
  16. 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).
  17. Thanks, I didn't remember much about Mr Shannon, until you mentioned it.
  18. ... with !FREE! Nokia ringtones!
