How does the Intel compiler compare to others today? We tried using it for game development years ago and it had too many problems to make it worthwhile (e.g. pathological behavior with some C++ code).

Does anybody know what kind of operating system is running on the devices?

"Even Microsoft VS does it better?" I have yet to see any debugger that's better than Microsoft's. Their compiler is behind GCC, clang, and others, but their debugging environment is unmatched.

Or possibly that agent wasn't really an FBI agent but rather was somebody who wanted to test them.

Didn't it come out in the trial that the vehicle computer source code was utter crap by any standards?

Can somebody explain how these 1.6L V6 engines have far more power than my 3.0L V6 car, and as much as many V10 and V12 super cars? All I can figure from the article is the high RPM and the turbo.

I'm confused about this. Somebody got OPs account number and password because it was written down in a file he put on git?

I'm tempted to make a joke about how your education must not have been worth it because you didn't learn how to spell. I'm also temped to make a generic joke about the value of that liberal arts degree after college and how i

I also can't help but wonder if insiders of sites like MtGox are taking advantage of their market knowledge.

If I understand it right, you purchased a license after your trial expired and the backup was purged. And you didn't backup anything new upon getting the new license. So the GUI status bug was a real and unfortunate bug on Backblaze&#x

I'll bet that the auto industry lobbied for those expensive inspections.

If what's he's saying is right, it doesn't matter if he's a foreigner who hasn't adapted.

I can't imagine DPR would be that stupid.

Didn't the article specifically state that the FBI transferred coins from his wallet to their own?

Can somebody explain to me how the FBI could seize his bitcoins without knowing his password? My passwords for such things are long, written nowhere, and I enter them on oddball platforms and applications (e.g. not Windows). Is that not eno

This game doesn't work like kerning works. The game lets you re-space letters between letters at fixed positions on the left and right. Kerning is about the spacing of all letters.

Maybe IE shouldn't be so tightly integrated with the OS.

I agree about the word pixel being mis-named. But what if I really do what to draw something in pixels?

Well that Java exploit wouldn't work on me because I have Java uninstalled and disabled on all my computers. That's not to say I an confident I wouldn't screw up in some other way, but Java should not be on the computers of a

How could that app possibly use 200MB of memory? Was that resident memory or simply mapped memory?

Right. Nobody is going to make an Linux-exclusive major game. On the other hand, Linux has already taken off, just not for desktop usage. And BSD Unix is successful in gaming, as the PS3 and PS4 are BSD Unix with their own shell.

I disagree with that, as the open source dependencies of a major game application are tiny compared to the application itself.

Despite that they just stated that your data will be owned by the US government in a raid on the US-based fastmail servers? And with no apparent way for US-based users to avoid that?

I think there's reason to believe that a targeting a person like Snowden would cause the U.S. to use the most extreme measures discussed in the post, such as seizing the servers.

I removed Java from all my computers, and all my Java problems vanished as a result.

There are very few mobile games that I want to play, and lots of console games I want to play. Most mobile games are small and simple. And I think the $1-$4 cost of most apps has killed much of the market for serious apps. Apple's 30%

Given that 64 bit ARM instruction set is not an extension of 32 bit ARM, it seems to me that the iPhone A7 chip must include a chip which can implement both instruction sets at the same time.

This makes me think that it might be good to have a "security by obscurity" layer on top of the existing security layer. A big weakness of a public security protocol is that a huge government might privately crack it and tell nobo

Exactly. The author thought that using C++ means you are forced to use exception handling, despite the fact that most C++ engineers don't use it. And he had this dumb idea about doing non-trivial things in constructors, another thing m
