No, for driving games a wheel is what you need.
That is the best option, obviously. But a gamepad with "triggers" like the xbox360 controller is okay, as it at least allows you to control acceleration, braking and turning in a smooth fashion. Keyboard+Mouse is the worst sort of atrocious. Everything is either full on, or full off. Either you slam the pedal, or you take your foot off it completely.
Nothing was lost? The porn! MY PRECIOUS DEVIANT PORN! Oh how I miss thee, German* midget wrapped in a latex catsuit fighting off naked clowns with an oversized Q-tip!
* How do I know she was German? Well, the only people who create weird shit like that are the Japanese and the Germans. And she wasn't Japanese.
Modern IDEs autocomplete documentation and explanatory comments for you? That's pretty neat. I obviously need to upgrade. The difference between an okay programmer and a good programmer is not in the code the compiler sees, it's in the code that the next person reading the code sees. It's possible to write the same algorithm in two different ways that will generate exactly the same AST, but only one of which is readable and easily comprehensible by another human. See the Obfuscated C Contest for extreme examples of the other kind.
Good programmers write code that doesn't need a multi-paragraph description and line-by-line comments. The structure of the project should obviously be documented (how does the modules connect, and so forth), and any caveats or unexpected behavior in for example boundary cases, but beyond that, good code documents itself.
This is a pathological degree of documentation (but none the less all too common):
@return The sum (a + b)
@arg a The first number
@arg b The second number */
int sum(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
The function does what it says on the box, so you don't need to comment it.
Modern IDEs tend to auto-complete so much that it really isn't a problem, even in verbose languages like Java. Then there are of course those languages that are so abstract and dense that it will never matter, like say Haskell.
Stupid Flanders!
I think that's tenths of micrometers, which is on the edge of what our eyes can resolve.
Heavily influenced by the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, SGU felt much more "adult" and real than any previous SG series (some of which were just downright hokey).
Only if, by "adult," you mean "emo."
I think the term used in the industry is "darker and edgier". But yeah. Emo.
You know, I had mod points earlier today. No idea where they went, but I really wish I had them now.
+1 Awesome.
It is expected that in the early 2400s, corporate America starts to colonise planets and fill them with non-cubicle space to meet the growing demand of area that is not spent on cubicles for the employees.
By Scandinavian standards, 4 Mbit/s is downright medieval, even the double is on the low side of the spectrum. I have 100 Mbit/s socket (up and down, no transfer cap, 10 IP addresses) in my apartment, costs about $20 a month.
From what I understand (and this may very well be wrong), Type 1 diabetes is when the immune system breaks down beta islets leaving one unable to produce insulin. So wouldn't this be a highly temporary fix, before the immune system goes to town again?
If so, I don't know if a lifetime of being stabbed in the balls is preferable to a lifetime of insulin injections.
Hmm, I seem to have written nanooven twice. Chalk it up to weird quantum effects. You get those on such a scale.
More like a nanopizza. Slap on some fullerenes and nanotubes, nano-slide it into a nano-oven on a nano-sheet of graphene and nanocook it for a nanosecond in a nanokelvin nanooven. Then nanoeat it. May nanocause cellular nanodamage and nanocancer.
There is some pretty strange canon to support the abbreviation: Patrick Troughton was credited as "Dr. Who" during his run. Though I don't think he's ever been called anything other than "The Doctor" on screen.
I'm a physicist, and I've done this. Excellent method.
Though it was a machine-generated plot.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
