Finally a Jane Bond movie I can watch without getting bored!

Quasar said:an episode of Star Trek TNG that brainwashed everybody into a bunch of zombies and they tried to hold down Wesley and make him play it after he was the only one smart enough to not do it.
If you're thinking of the episode "The Game", it was actually Wesley that brought the game on the ship and got everybody else playing it.

HDMI is digital. It does not respond to noise the same way an analog signal would. If there's more error in the signal than it can correct for, then you won't get a picture. There's no fuzzy in-between state between good and bad signals like there is with analog.

If it only happens right after you switch inputs, it's probably just a thing your TV does and nothing to worry about. If the cables were bad, you wouldn't get any picture at all.

Quasar said:4/3 stored in the executable has the form of a 64-bit serialized IEEE-754 double precision number, but 4/3 calculated at runtime on an Intel has 80 bits of precision. The calculated value always compares as greater than the constant simply because it has more bits set (somewhat meaninglessly) to 1.
To avoid this problem, you can use _FPU_GETCW/FPU_SETCW on GCC to set the number of bits of precision to run the FPU registers at. Visual C++ has _control87, but its runtime already sets the FPU to use double-sized registers, so you don't need to use it for that compiler.

Quasar said:You may need to use a different node builder. ZDoom has declared the REJECT to be "useless" and so apparently doesn't even do the courtesy of creating one that is filled with the default value.
You make it sound like there is some ZDoom conspiracy to be incompatible. ZDBSP will only create a 0-length REJECT lump if you pass it the -r option. Otherwise, it creates a full sized one filled with zeros, just like most other nodebuilders do.

Nomad said:To be fair, in all but the FLDS cult in Texas, Mormonism has not practiced polygamy in over 100 years; roughly less than 20 years after its inception by Joe Smith.
They might not be practicing it now, but it's still canon Mormon scripture in Doctrine & Covenants 132. This has never been rescinded, so according to official Mormon scripture, there will be polygamy in heaven, whether you like it or not.

GeckoYamori said:The most hilarious thing about this is that studies have shown porn consumption is significantly higher in conservative states.
Ha ha, yes! Romney's Mormon homeland of Utah consumes more porn per capita than any other state in the US.

Barefootstallion said:I tried messing with ZDoom. But when I couldn't figure out how to get some of its fancier stuff to work and I used the contact us link for it, all I got in reply was silence.
ZDoom has a contact us link?

But would you have any DLC at all if it weren't for the PC port?
And does "not optimized for the PC" mean anything more than just "You'll probably want to play this game with a controller."? Because if that's all it turns out to be, I don't think it's that big a deal. If they were actively using all three cores on the 360, then there might be problems for dual core PCs, I suppose. Other than that, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't perform at least on par with the console versions. -

They probably meant Tranny Chaser. Unless they really do think being trans is a sexual orientation. Whatever. I don't see how that has anything to do with the results, so why are they even asking?

Since Obamaville is Santorum propaganda, there needs to be a Santorumville. The only problem is that it would have to be adults only, so it wouldn't work very well as political propaganda.
-
Like I said, I'm not keen on the Democrats either, and I wish I had an alternative to Obama, but at least he's not a Republican who will try to push his religion on me. Any vote for a Democrat is a vote against a Republican; vote for an independent, and you might as well be throwing your vote away.
-
Ugh. I can't say I'm too keen on the Democrats, but the things the Republicans have been doing lately are so absolutely disgusting, I'm definitely voting Democrat in November. I hope the Republicans lose by a landslide. And if they don't, I don't know what to make of this country...

TimeOfDeath said:The employer provides the health insurance (even if the employee pays something towards it each paycheck), right?
Unless the employer is itself a health insurance company, the usual way it works is that the employer negotiates a group health plan with an insurance company. The employer itself does not handle any insurance claims.
If a woman wants to have casual sex without worrying about getting pregant, then she should buy her own birth control.
If a man wants to have casual sex without worrying about whether he can get it up or not, then he should buy his own Viagra. Oh, wait! The insurance company will probably pay for that. Since it's to help men, it's all good. Men are more privileged than women and all that, right?
I just wish all of these unwanted pregnancies never happened in the first place.
That's what birth control is for! Or do you expect everybody to practice abstinence, because that's SO totally worked so far?

Actually, they might have a point. If you've made changes to your private copy and you mention those changes in public so that people know about them, you are now obligated to make your modified source code available, even if you haven't distributed your modified binary to anybody.

The Watcom 32-bit extenders use the LE file format attached to a DOS stub. Just because it was developed for OS/2 first doesn't mean it isn't used elsewhere.

It's not about whether a given option is applicable to some port. It's about whether a given option is applicable to some map.
-
Sorry, but this is just getting ridiculous. Honestly, I'm completely lost as to how you keep missing the point.
Suppose you have 10 compatibility options. Now suppose you have a map that needs one option to be set a certain way in order for it to function properly. The other nine options are completely irrelevant. They can be on or off, and the map will still work fine with any of their 512 possible combinations, so long as the one option that matters is set correctly.
What kb1 wants to know for this map is which one option needs to be set for the map to work. The port can then set that option as required. The other 9 will be left alone at whatever the user prefers.
What you propose is to completely disregard the users' preferences and force all 10 of those options a certain way, even though it's not necessary and completely overkill. -
I feel like pointing out that the released Doom source code was not compatible with v1.9 demos, either. It took some time before we started seeing ports that could play them back without desyncing, and only because somebody went through the trouble of figuring out what had been changed between v1.9 and v1.10. So a new port starting out in late 1997/early 1998 did not automatically have demo compatibility either.

The difference is that it's free if you do it now. It'll cost you money if you wait until 2020.
