Programming / Re: Are Software Patents Evil? by c0dec(m): 10:49pm On Jan 08, 2009 |
efeboy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patent It's a good idea, especially if you're into commercial software development to understand what patents are and also learn to search the various patents, just to be safe. Cos if your little piece of software blows up and makes big bucks, be sure you're gonna have "haters" trying to exploit your business. |

uenemuoh: Just because I'm bored this moment and have nothing better in my life to do. public class Article I have a feeling it's not 100% correct. I'll leave that to you to figure out. I'm in no way a Java guru. I'm well below average with Java. I'm just quite good with C/C++ and this is pretty easy stuff. |

hustler: Reina alright. He's been pretty consistent this season based on the games I saw. Frey (a milan target) is another solid goalie. Been solid for years but I did see a couple of f**k-ups from him this season. |

Jokes Etc / What Am I Doing Wrong? by c0dec(m): 6:54pm On Nov 10, 2007 |
Ok, got this in my email. After, https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-2793.0.html, Here's another one for you girls. This actually appeared on Craig's list. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What am I doing wrong? Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York . I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all. Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level? Here are my questions specifically: - Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms -What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my feelings -Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)? - Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there? - Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out? - How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth. it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests PostingID: 432279810 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ANSWER Dear Pers-431649184: I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it. Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity, in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful! So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you! So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold, hence the rub, marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage. Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful" as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout. By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation. With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way. Classic "pump and dump." I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know. |

game pogramming isn't all about the renderer. with consoles, you have to worry about the general architecture (processor, GPU, cache, RAM), memory management, endianess of the machine, etc |
Programming / Re: How Much Windows Programming Is Needed 4 Game Programming by c0dec(m): 2:17pm On Jul 06, 2007 |
opengl is much more intuitive than directx (note: my experience is with directx 8 and 9. directx 10 maybe better but i haven't looked into it yet). my advice for a beginning graphics programmer would be to start off with opengl, get familiar with the concepts, then get into directx. if you're programming on a win32 platform, then directx is the way to go. opengl doesn't perform as well unless you know what you're doing. with regards to learning win32 programming, you only have to know the basics, i.e. how to set up a win32 window. nehe's lesson -> http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=01 is all you might ever need to know. i also assume you're using c/c++ |

wavemasta: nah, the maths isn't too bad (well, this is coming from someone who studied maths in uni). but seriously, if you can handle stuff like MIPS, then basic 3d maths shouldn't be much of a problem for you. MIPS ASM is something i've always wanted to learn. i've got a book on it but never had time for it. |
