I'm not going to say that I make sense. I'm just parroting my personal experiences in managing and coding various projects.

It only makes sense to those that are not afraid to admit that they are wrong and have encountered this same problem of which I speak.

I thank you for the praise, however! It is rare I see MOB programming get any credit of any sort.

It has its base here. It is not an American company.

If Microsoft has a base in Ireland, does it suddenly become an Irish company?

Your logic fails very hard. Try again, JIDF shill.

"How could this possible be better than using git and having a sane version history."

For starters, we have really good collaboration. Someone could be writing code, someone else notices fucked indentation or syntax, an can fix it on the fly while explaining what's going on.

"And if you are what possible advantage is there for everyone logging into one system - and you being local"

Most of my devs are in other countries. Waiting for everyone to do their thing, submit, and have to dig through shit to see what does and does not work eats too much time. Time zones are a fucker like that.
To boot, my system is the server system, so having me be local and able to test live is what makes things run smoothly.

The only one piece of documentation we need is the design documentation. Everything else is a waste of fucking time, especially when a new client upgrade could force us to re-write half the code base in the first place (like last night's upgrade forced us to have to scrap and re-write half of the initial framework.) As long as we have that design documentation, if shit changes, we still know what needs to be done and can do it, instead of having to go looking back through code and go "Okay, here can we make changes here?" That's sloppy as shit and leads to security problems.

" I guess we're still calling it a "jetpack" even though it's just using turbofans?"

Well, what else would you call JETS of air?

"Mobs don't really have a place in intellectual endeavours, and programming is one of those."

Programing isn't an intellectual endeavor in the first place. It's MATH, shit you should know once your ass gets out of high school.

Optimization is an intellectual endeavor. And at that point, it's best to have *ONE* person doing that.

However, I practice a different form.

1. All programming, compiling, testing, and debugging happens on one system.

2. Everyone logs into that system (I remain local at that system) and we all start up a voice conference.

3. Everyone is able to write up code, sling it straight to me where I can immediately compile and test, and everyone gets to see the results and hear my experiences with the software as it runs.

I'm currently working on a little 2D version of SecondLife. Pair programming sucks. Mob moved us from code updates every week and shit progress to multiple updates per day and much much better progress.

"Had it with anon children."

I've had it with assholes who feel the need to announce they're ignoring someone and then never giving them a chance to respond. As if they UTTERLY FUCKING FAILED learning how to handle a conversation.

I've had it with 7-digit IDIOTS like you for decades. You don't see me ignoring your ass and then crying about ignoring you, like a little bitch.

But bear in mind, I could write that plugin, and slashdot would be all the better without crybaby fucks like yourself.

Sit the fuck down and act like an adult, or get treated like a child by the community. Got it?

Superfish was founded in ISRAEL in 2006.

If you cannot read and comprehend simple stuff, you do not belong here.

No, it is an Isreali company. It only moved to California.

Who's embarrassing themselves, here?

I know it's for developers.

Microsoft still needs to go fuck themselves. They provide drivers that fuck people over on hardware usability. Making hardware manufacturers to jump through all this shit to get some shit logo is completely fucking stupid, and leads to shit like this happening.

But you seem too eager to leap to try to correct someone to even fully think about what was said and what it implies.

So you go fuck yourself, too.

Actually, OpenGL 1.5 with some bare-ass support for OpenGLES, as shown in Zandronum or Quake 3 console on loading.

"XP-64 had poor drivers support for common off the shelf hardware"

Bullshit, because XP-64 supported 2K3 drivers, which had plenty of driver support for COTS hardware.

"Sign in to the dashboard with your Microsoft account,"

No, go fuck yourself. Give me control over my updates/drivers inside the OS and don't make me sign up for your fucking spam in order to have a WORKING operating system.

You're missing the third option.

3. Tell Microsoft to quit forcing THEIR drivers on hardware. Trying to get IGPs to install is a pain in the ass. Default WDDM drivers for Vista/7 on an Intel 945GM IGP do not provide OpenGL support, and would not let me instal the actual Intel drivers w/OpenGL support citing "Microsoft's drivers are newer."

Well, you screwed up. Windows 2003 is based on XP-64. You should've looked for XP-64 drivers and they would have installed just fine.

And it sounds like you didn't install the proper video adapter drivers or your display had a shitty EDID. Plenty of widescreen monitors support 4:3 resolutions and scale to fit the panel. Have since the early 90s, AFAIA.
