The milk is supposed to be left for Santa, not by Santa.
So kids with a crush on Santa are definitively deciding the naughty or nice question by slipping him some rohypnol.

I almost thought your typo was intentional.

That is until Borderlands came out. This game is a wretched reminder of the 'bad old days'. I spent hours scouring forums and search engines, fiddling with my router, and trying to set it up so that I could host a game for my friend. No dice. Even setting my computer as the DMZ host didn't help. The only way myself and another friend were able to play was through a third friend who didn't have any issues.
For what it's worth, most people are playing Borderlands online now using GameRanger for exactly this reason, because it eliminates all these problems. Gearbox has unofficially recommended it as a solution as well.
That's no SGI.
It's a space station.
If you are a potential fit for a particular test group, we'll send you an invitation email, asking you to run a detailed Performance Test on your network connection and your computer configuration.
So they can counter their critics by saying they had a positive public beta, yet with a carefully controlled group, to ensure pesky real-world situations don't damage their hype for gaining investors.
At least it makes sense for the Labs to eat their own dog food.
CLucene is faster, and uses less memory, from what is basically a direct port. The README includes some benchmarks:
There are 250 HTML files under $JAVA_HOME/docs/api/java/util for about
6108kb of HTML text.
org.apache.lucene.demo.IndexFiles with java and gcj:
on mac os x 10.3.1 (panther) powerbook g4 1ghz 1gb:
. running with java 1.4.1_01-99 : 20379 ms
. running with gcj 3.3.2 -O2 : 17842 ms
. running clucene 0.8.9's demo : 9930 ms
I recently did some more tests and came up with these rough tests:
663mb (797 files) of Guttenberg texts
on a Pentium 4 running Windows XP with 1 GB of RAM. Indexing max 100,000 fields
à Jlucene: 646453ms. peak mem usage ~72mb, avg ~14mb ram
à Clucene: 232141. peak mem usage ~60, avg ~4mb ram
Searching indexing using 10,000 single word queries
à Jlucene: ~60078ms and used ~13mb ram
à Clucene: ~48359ms and used ~4.2mb ram
Far more likely to be because of the choice of algorithms and the resources behind the project. Would be interesting to see how CLucene performs.
Using two layers is the most secure. That's why I encrypt all my important data with ROT-13 twice.
I hold my phone to my left ear with my left hand, despite being right-handed, and probably always have. This is no surprise as it leaves my right hand free to navigate the mouse or type on the keyboard. Not rocket science.
Ha, that's awesome. I have the mission packs but haven't played them yet. I still intend to someday. Loved the campaign for Q2, and I think it still holds up pretty well.
A secret area in Quake II with a stash of ammo, that you could only get to by rocket-jumping.. acknowledging a unintended trick that started with the original Quake. The message printed on the screen was, "This is for you, you crazy rocket-jumpers."
That's true, and UPnP support is a joke, with users often having more luck with it disabled.
However, UPnP is a hideously over-engineered and over-complicated standard, so it's not surprising that few routers implement it correctly.
NAT-PMP is sheer simplicity and elegance in comparison, as you would expect from Stuart Cheshire.
