You seriously should to leave the computer, come back tomorrow, and then reread these posts. You are trying to stomp on someone's fond memory of a simple problem that they solved in a way that was novel to them. They clearly don't think that they are deserving of a Turing award, they were just young and felt some pride.
- acqq 13y agoNot really arguments. Otherwise, I also do here "the same principle" as Platon and Aristotle as I discuss anything with you. And I'll have the fond memories of this. Don't stomp on them. My claim is that anybody who thinks moving the text cursor is "the same principle" as Carmack's one pixel at the time smooth scrolling doesn't have elementary understanding of both. And I explained the difference. I have nothing against morgawr writing about his discovering cursor positioning. I have against supporting him equating this with something completely different. If a five year old goes out of the go cart and says "ma I can ride the plane" nobody cares. If he's 20 something and claims the same after the same "feat" on the pilot forum, some pilot can try to correct him, even if it's the lost time. Even if he also knows that there's the famous "don't argue with .... People might not know the difference." I still think it was worth writing these comments.
