Actually the right analogy here is CPU usage. With a better computer, you could devote more CPU time to certain activities. It's a decent idea. My brain's still spinning with ideas on what to do with the next stage of the game. As fusion_power suggests, the next update will be almost all...

As you can probably already guess, lucky starts are messing up the data. Is lucky starts exclusively defined as "I'm close to the artifact" or is also "I got a good break finding stuff" (which would be easy to exclude from the data here). This is actually really useful data. There's distinct...

Even though the user communities for the GP32, GP2X and Pandora are somewhat different, the dev communities are more closely tied together, and this community is the right place for the discussion of the next open source handheld, in a distant future with flying cars and green alien women. On a...

This is why I'm going for multiple data points. Hopefully it should average out a bit...

Just found this link to an upcoming device called the SheevaPlug: linuxdevices.com/news/NS9634061300.html Runs Linux on an ARM9 processor at 1.2Ghz and 512MB of ram, plugs into a wall socket and uses the power of a nightlight. Looks like it will retail for $100. I can think of a few uses for...

Two things. This post is mostly directed at TheMonkey, but I invite anyone who's played Galactic Artifact for a bit to join in the fun. Secondly I'm not in any huge rush. I'm not back to coding yet but there are a few things spinning in the back of my mind that I want to move forward on...

You need to type ', like: isn't ain't won't wasn't. becomes: isn't ain't won't wasn't. It also doesn't work if you edit, but that might be fixable by hando and co...

Testing's Testing's one's two's three's... An old HTML ASCII code trick... ' It brings me back to the days of ALT-255 for non-space whitespace... Hmm, looks like & is already captured... If it works, I'm not suggesting this as a solution to users, but perhaps an alternate way of...

OK, *I* need some help now. I've just updated to Ubuntu 8.10. I've managed to get the game's libraries working fine (had to install SpriG manually into the libs directory) and now the game compiles fine. But now when I've gotten a transparency surface, everything looks green and stripey. Did...

Whoa... Sprig's author... Awesome! I don't have "concerns" so much as "I've written everything with SDL_gfx and it's RGBA colour scheme, and then later found SpriGwhich is awesome beyond words, but converting everything over to SpriG would mean a lot of time and effort I don't have at the...

Server's back up...

I know this thread is doomed, but I thought I'd jump in here with a tangent of information to share. First of all, KDirStat does what WinDirStat does, and is open source, but it's KDE only as far as I can tell. It looks like "boabab" is the same tool for GNOME users, but I've never tried it...

How Open Source Communities Survive Poisonous People (And You Can Too) (apologies if this URL is messed) I was going to post this in just the dev forums, but it's so awesome and applicable here in general that I felt I had to share. It's a 2007 Google Tech Talk by the makers of subversion on...

I went in to buy eyeglasses a few months ago and expected the regular routine about what kind of coating I wanted to get, and found out that everything had been standardized. There's now one set of eyeglasses everyone gets, and it has all the fancy features that used to be optional before...

Master of Orion or Galactic Civilizations come to mind...

Just a warning to you guys. My poor Slackware server is in need of a massive overhaul. I'm planning on switching over to Another Linux Distribution*. I just bought myself a 1TB hard drive to back up my 900GB Raid, but realized the backup and reinstall process is probably going to take between...

There's a number of us eager to try to get some sort of mythfrontend working. Even if Qt is too slow, there might be some alternate mechanism to view a MythTV backend. I don't think I'd be up for porting Qt, but I might be willing to try if noone else has by the time I get my pandora. (Even...
