I see the whole marriage argument as being part of a larger whole. A society, any society, exists based upon assumptions and rules that smoother the interactions between people. These assumptions and rules are what make it possible for the notion of property to exist, for currency to have meaning, a...

Plus, from what I've gathered, McCain is too old-fashioned in more ways than one. Are you kidding? This guy flies his prostitutes in. By airplane. To houseboat parties. Doesn't sound that old-fashioned to me. Oh yeah, and he married a beer heiress. Talk about mixing business with pleasure. Seriousl...

Wow man alive, you post a link to a fix, and the next posts are more Ubuntu idiots who don't even read the post above them. And it happens in multiple threads too! Gotta love a distro which attracts people who are too stupid to own a computer. Now, now, Nach. Windows users who are too cheap to keep...

Sure, there's a lot of people vocal here. Why? Because the people reading the developer threads and posting here care . They care about the hardware itself. The people who just want to play games aren't participating in these conversations. They're just playing games. Byuu got it exactly right ther...

That's my hunch as well. I haven't done much win32 development (more of a .NET guy myself), but my debugging sense is tingling, saying something is going funny with input focus. It just feels too deterministic and consistent to be random buffer filling. And just to clarify, the behavior happens aft...

It looks like you've found a fix for the keyboard beeping issue, but I just thought I'd jump in with an observation I made in 0.30, as this is the issue that caused me to search the forums in the first place. At first I thought it was odd that it seemed to start happening at a random time after hav...

a cascading sequence of if/else if/else is a O(n) operation, while a switch statement is a O(1) operation. A switch statement, when an option, is 99.9% of the time faster and (when dealing with more than 3 alternatives) more readable than cascading if/else statements. If you really do plan on writin...

Actually, I think the core for Intel and AMD processors, at least, are hybrid RISC/CISC/VLIW.
The x86 ISA can be translated down to microops, or translated up in macro-op fusion. Or executed as-is. Both Intel and AMD do things like this.
And SIMD instructions (SSE#) are, IIRC, all VLIW.

Set your PC up so the vidcard does the scaling if you must scale something. This also gives you aspect ratio correction. QFT nVidia's driver-based resolution scaling on Windows is AWESOME. I wish they had something similar on Linux - allow any resolution and scale it in hardware to the monitor's na...

Oh, and to make use of 4GB of RAM your OS is going to have to be 64 bit. That's not exactly true. You didn't read what I wrote in my last post. PAE doesn't work properly in 32 bit OSes. Anyway, look it up if you don't want to take my word for it. Or give it a shot, install 4GB of RAM in 32 bit Wind...

Oh, and to make use of 4GB of RAM your OS is going to have to be 64 bit. That's not exactly true. With 32-bits, you can address a full 4GB of memory. But normally, Windows maps device addresses into the top ~256MB of of the 4GB memory range. If you have 3GB of RAM or less, this isn't a problem. But...

I will have to send hit men after you DataPath. For every app that uses a built in GTK file dialog, a dozen computer users commit suicide (or 500 kittens get killed, or whatever metaphor you like). Do not be part of the problem. Actually, the Nokia Internet Tablets use the Hildon UI, which builds o...

Gambatte has been ported to Maemo (Nokia Internet Tablets). The current setup uses gambatte_sdl, and a python frontend. I'm writing a GTK UI to make it integrate better with the whole system. Just thought I'd say I think it's really cool if you're able to make it run well on something like that. I'...

Should it be pretty safe to write our own UI's for it? Why would you want to? Gambatte has been ported to Maemo (Nokia Internet Tablets). The current setup uses gambatte_sdl, and a python frontend. I'm writing a GTK UI to make it integrate better with the whole system. No big deal if it changes a l...

FreeBSD will always be supported as linux doesn't run properly with my system config. As well as I am getting fed up with GNU people and probably will propose we change our license soon. Good to hear for FreeBSD support, and good luck changing your license. They'll fork it the second you try, and t...
