Not that it looks much different from SSB, as you'd probably expect given the same programmers (Game Arts) are making it, and it's also on Wii. Will it be anywhere near as good as the SSB games without Nintendo's oversight, though? I'm skeptical, but we'll see...

Yeah, that came out of nowhere...

John Carmack on it:

Quote: Why did id sell? "We're really getting kind of tired competing with our own publishers in terms of how our titles will be featured," Carmack said. "And we've really gotten more IPs than we've been able to take advantage of. And working with other companies hasn't been working out as spectacularly as it could. So the idea of actually becoming a publisher and merging Bethesda and ZeniMax on there [is ideal.] It would be hard to imagine a more complementary relationship. They are triple A, top-of-the-line in what they do in the RPGs. And they have no overlap with all the things we do in the FPSes."

Quote: id Software co-founder, and all round drama queen, John Romero, branded Bethesda's purchase of id Software as "disgusting," in a Tweet:

ZENIMAX??????? Disgusting.

He quickly followed up with:

Fallout 3 bought DOOM. Wow.

Still bitter at getting the boot?

I just got a free copy of Visual Studio 2008 PRO just because I give ECPI all my money once a month... About time I got a nice perc...

After a few installer issues I just got everything working nicely.

All I can say is... Holy crap... Before I was using the free version of Visual Studio Express editions, and man was I ever missing out!!!

I can make cell phone apps for windows mobile....
They debug in a cell phone emulator, pre loaded with the lasest version of windows mobile and all the apps that come with it. I litertly was surfing the web in pocket IE inside real IE, just because I could.... My app even previews in a handly little picuture of a cell phone complete with working controls!

.Net... I think I love you.......

I can only say that not once have I called Comcast business class tech support and not felt frustrated and angry afterwords.

The whole experience is nothing more than really really stupid people talking down to you for a minium of 45 minutes of agonizing pain and frustraition. Comcast employees the dregs on the planet... They are soleless creatures who hate all beings, their hatred for human kind is only matched by their complete stupidety. These uneducated, special bus riding wigger ass holes know nothing about networks, nothing about busness class networking, nothing about the email and collaboration tools they offer, and have no certifications to speak of, of any kind. Their only redeming attribute is a demonic like power to run away from their desk at near inhuman speeds after pissing you off on the phone.

They are the bain of human kind and I hate them....

If it warnt for the outstanding products and afordable prices Comcast offers, I would have pissed on all their parents graves long ago...

I have to fix every thing my self, and it shouldn't be that way... And when they fuck up on their end, god help me I have to pray it works itself out....

You can't call them....

They deny they fucked up
They deny anyone else is having problems

Then they hang up on you.
And then deny you had called before.

I wish a billion plegs appon then. And then a million more.

I hate them all

So, I created a photo gallery web application in ASP.Net. Basically the app reads jpg's in a predefined folder on the server, and automatically renders thumbnails for each picture as well as full view images on the photo gallery page.

My problem was that the page took 30 seconds or more to load because it had to rerender every image thumbnail and fullview image everytime someone loaded the page.

But I happend to stumple on a article on the internet, and threw the gloery of .Net I implimented data caching with only 3 lines of code!

So now the page only has to render the image gallery once, it stores all image thumbnails and fullview images in memory and all the requests are streamed from memory after the first time. Now my page loads in under 1 second! There's even support that if someone chages a image file on the server, the data cache for that image is automically expired.

All this in only 3 lines of code!
Is there any thing .Net cant do???

There's probably a built in library for ordering me breakfast in the morning.

assembly: system.net.getfood

You really have to admire all the thought that was put into the included code you get with .Net, it's like the bible. Every contingency thought of, absolutly flawless.

You can check out my app: here

What I mean is, time after time, I always see the same nonsense coming out of their keyboards. Namely, they say "don't make anything based on my work without my permission". Now, I can sort of understand that except for the cognitive dissonance. Their work IS a derivitive of someone else's work! It's worse than that, derivites do get made without their permission, and the ones who make THAT also demand the same thing, don't make anything from this without my permission.

Seriously, as long as they get the proper credit, why do they all seem to care this much? It's not like this is some isolated thing, every single hacked firmware programmer has this bizarre hypocritical code. What's up with that?
