  • Thanks for the selection summary. I know severl people who know TWiki (including how to customize the look), so I haven't heard anything amazing enough about the others to make me want to use anything else at home. I know noone who knows MediaWiki…
  • I am curious as to the selection process: MediaWiki vs. TWiki vs. Instiki vs. ... We use TWiki extensively at work, several of my buds use TWiki, but I've been tempted to Instiki by the ease of configuration. Comments? "Need in-put!" -- …
  • [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Biggles [/i] [B]The spoiler tag is 'spoiler'. [/B][/QUOTE] Thanks Biggles. Did I break something? p.s. [spoiler]All your base are belong to us.[/spoiler] And here's a spolier for anyone with the non-US-PC versio…
  • (Having seen only miniseres, ep's on TiVo awaiting time) Warning: spoiler city ahead... Personally I was wicked happy with the RCS usage and dogfight scenes. 1) The whole sequence where Starbuck lines up to "dock" with Apollo's viper: sweet! …
  • That's not the only place, I just thought that was funny. For the recursive update problem, I was mostly talking about the non-souce distros like getting a random .rpm for mandrake, or trying to build something from source where all the dependenc…
  • re: my rant. Now, while looking into installing the new Thunderbird, people are talking about the /opt directory. Shazbot! :mad: Yes Sanfam. Debian = too expert. No thanks, stop asking, HAND, I'll be in the car. :shadow1:
  • I'll have to remember that trick for SuSE, thanks! (note, "my friend" isn't some lame way of saying 'me', if it were me, I would say so. It was Ben from here at work) :D I know I'm going to get the Gentoo terminology wrong here, so please be…
  • The twins are in pre-school (they're 3.5 yrs. old). They are very different, even more that I expected from fraternal vs. identical twins. The toddler is 17 months old. She's way ahead of where the twins were: she thinks she's as big as they are.…
  • I've had numerous WD's without problem. My only complaint with them is that like most drives, they are noisy. The high-pitched whine drives me bonkers. Currently, I am partial to the low-noise versions from Seagate. They are much much quieter:…
  • I have 3.5 year old twins, and a 17 month old. All girls. They are already way too clever, sly, and tricky for their own good; even the toddler. Watch out world. It's embarassing to admit that I am having battles of wits with children under t…
  • May I humbly suggest some time between late November (after US-Thanksgiving) and mid December (before Christmas, with a blackout of the 7th-15th for Hanukkah). (It's for selfish reasons, my girls will all be out of town for that month, so I can a…
  • (This is US centric. Sorry, but deal) I don't give a R.A. about what Kerry / Edwards say they "will do (if elected)" about the Patriot Act or anything else. They're already in the government, why don't they just get rid of it now? You know, st…
  • It's Skye. All three of them. Yep, I'm a geek. ;) At least I didn't put Leah, or something as their first names. At one point we were joking about Addison... but we decided that was just too much of a curse... :D It's fun to refer to them a…
  • Yes Jack, it work it is a lot of C++. ... but there is also a lot of tools work; and more of my time (as a %) is spent on tools and support scripts than on the game code itself. For example, on Larry I would guess that about 30% of my time was…
  • [QUOTE] There's a whole slew of makefiles scattered throughout the archive that the Allegiance folks recommmend using, but I like having everything arranged neatly in an IDE. (And, no, the makefiles were no help in solving this particular problem.)[…
  • Banned in Oz... Larry got banned from Australia. Bummer. "No soup boobies for you!" [url]http://www.itnews.com.au/dlinkstorycontent.asp?ID=1&Art_ID=21936[/url] So, what about NZ?
  • From what you said above, I'm wondering if the redefined/overloaded new from list is conflicting with the MS debug defined version of new...
  • I think of myself as a realist. My friends describe my outlook as dark. I guess it comes from seeing both the worst and the best of people. There is great beauty and darkness in the world. Mordor is in our midst and the worst sorts of evil-doe…
  • What do you do? RTFM! :D Kidding. I don't remember what it is, but there is a define or something to tell VS not to do that. You may have to set a define in your project settings (with the other defines like _NDEBUG) so it affects everything …
  • Remember that debug builds in VStudio, by default, override "new" and other "standard" C syntax. Perhaps your memory management is getting out of sync? If one set of code defines memory management routines one way, and another defines them anoth…
  • LOL. :laugh: "Kick arse!" I love the little insider things. "... detected that you aren't sober enough..." I had some dialogs like that (not the Oz jokes) in Larry, but had to pull them because they were "confusing" and "might lead to unneces…
  • I was lucky enough to meet some of the cast; they were very nice in person. :p (Jack met them too, tease him not me.) Methinks they got "managemented" or "publishered". :shadow1: [COLOR=skyblue]Trivia Time:[/COLOR] Tim Earls, the designer re…
  • Go (to college). Now. :angryv: Old games still run fine on your current system. You can probably play Doom3 in 1.5 years on your cell phone, PDA, or on some friend's / "it's my old computer" computer at University. :shadow1:
  • Now now, Jack. The computer would never lie. The computer is always right; it must be user error. The software has been extensively tested. The software has been declared by the board [i]and[/i] the CEO to be bug free. These aren't the droids…
  • [COLOR=skyblue]Trivia Fact:[/COLOR] The PC version has a first-person camera mode: middle mouse button (and something else on the keyboard...) toggles between 1st and 3rd person view. The consoles originally had this feature mapped to push/click…
  • Personally, I'm a big fan of portknocking. You are invisible to port scans, yet you can connect when you need to.
  • This isn't going to be very helpful, but... [b]The most important thing IMHO in any academic situation is the quality, passion, and enthusiasm of the facualty.[/b] If they love the subject and love to teach, you will be rewarded. If they are …
  • [COLOR=skyblue]Trivia Fact:[/COLOR] [url=http://www.timdadabo.com]Tim Dadabo[/url], the voice of Larry Lovage (and other characters in the game), is also the voice of the Guilty Spark in Halo. (goto Characters, listen to the games block... Larry's…
  • EZ: There will never be an official patch to do what you suggest from either VUG or HVS. None of the dev's will ever make such a patch anonymously because we would get sacked. (and people always manage to figure those sorts of leaks out) There wil…
  • [i]They[/i] are VUG. Even the web site is vugames.com. The registry entries I had to add to the installer are under a VUGames folder, the default install location is C:\Program Files\VUGames\LSL-MCL per their direction. VU can be whatever y…
