"Wee" vs. "Urinating"?

In alpha 7, I noticed a prisoner (that had just been liberated from a medical bed by dismantling it) standing in place, "Urinating." I hope "Wee" and "Poo" haven't been changed, I rather liked the whimsy.

Re: How many lines of code is Darwinia?

And it's in C++, right? Chris is so l337, he did it straight into machine code. Don't laugh! When I was writing commercial games for a big US publisher, 6502 was my second language! Even less seriously, about the number of lines of code in Darwinia, I refer to the old coding maxims: (1) Every progr...

I'm not trying to support MS, yes they lost an anti-monoply case, but the evidence you've provided for your claims, bar the dcd.uscourts.gov link, is insufficent to make me belive that IE can be removed from Windows 98, and that MS tried to show a video lying about this. I also find no mention of a...

NeoThermic, I think I've said all I can to respond to almost all of your points. If you're interested, read my last reply again--it's all there. Just a few new items: I'm not sure you understand how intergrated IE is to the XP kernel, sadly. Bascially, I can be using any explorer window (note, not I...

As for the motherboard, it is customed design as far as I know, but it uses the Intel 5000X chipset (as does the SMC Motherboard you speced). Article on Apple motherboard/chipset . :) Not trying to split hairs or anything, but why does the Mac Pro only allow 16GB of RAM, while the SMC board I linke...

I should probably keep my mouth shut, but there are too many things that need a reply here: * I'm not familiar with the specs of, for example, the mobo & RAM, so I'll assume they're the same as the Mac Pro (1.33GHz dual indendendent FSBs, fully-buffered ECC DIMMs, & so on). I highly doubt th...

That'll buy a lot more of a Mac, but none of the major players is yet shipping the Core 2 Duo machine (Dell is listing September shipment as of today), so a real comparison can't be made. Well the Mac Pro is a Core 2 machine and it is shipping now. Also the Intel Macs can boot Windows so you don't ...

*snip* No apology necessary, really. I kind of felt bad about the 'trolling' comment myself, but I did think you were nitpicking just a bit. I know 'the debate' gets heated, but I really wasn't trying to convert xander to the PC camp or anything - I was just saying that if you shop around, sometime...

Sure, I agree $750 will get you a basic machine. But you corrected xander and said $300, without mentioning all the gotchas. Is that where the "trick" in trickfred comes from? :) -ShepFan Yes, that's it. I'm trying to 'trick' xander into buying a PC, and paying more than he bargained for....

Get a pc :-P Hrm... a PC to play IV games. Costs about $750 (at minimum to get a decently specced machine to play Darwinia and Defcon), plus a week or two to get the machine. Oh, plus $20 to get new versions of Uplink and Darwinia. This, compared to waiting another couple of months (though less wai...
