Glide, man, such a great era for PC gaming if you had the right equipment. I'll never forgive the computer store guy when I was 14 who pushed me to buy the $40 cheaper S3 Trio3D instead of the Voodoo. Instead of something useful, I end

Much of this can be credited to a few things: - Sun already had a massive presence as a big-iron enterprise IT company, and machines running Solaris were everywhere; when such a primary vendor starts pushing a brand new platform, many of th

I felt so cool in Grade 5 when I found that file. I had discovered that EXEs could contain icons, and then found some 3rd party program that loaded one from a DLL, so I went opening random DLLs until I saw that filename. What a rush! Where

You're probably being downvoted for posting like you're on some other site, moreso than your sentiment that this is just a simple CS 101 thing that people ought to know. Thing is, a lot of people don't take CS courses, and ha
