   I find C++ encourages more pointer use by default, which implies all things are in memory at all the time. C on the other hand has this less implicitly, so things such as handles, deferred messages vs straight method call, have less of a..

   Hi, Another Game dev here. Firstly, neat article, thanks for writing it. I'm curious as to the problem you're exploring/solving here? "Concatenated struct's in single chunk" is a neat trick. The use case seems

    What was the query? I'd really like to know if it used bullshit correctly? Sure could/should/must not be used to advertise the tech, but If I had a pocket watson, I'd have no problems with it calling it like it parses it.

    I'm curious. >9. Latest research proves that Flame is indeed linked to Stuxnet.... Whats the chance that this "Resource 207" is some 3rd party module that more than 1 developer had access to? I concede that placing the same resource in

    I did really want it to be real, but I now wondering how long till it is. There were enough very clue-y people say "yeah, the physics might actually work". I'm sure it has inspired a lot of people, who will probably now work even harder if

    There is plenty of fiction thats explored some side of the idea. Neal stephenson "the diamond age" is probably a good example. To my mind though, this is only 1/2 of the problem. most fiction has focused on nano fabs + nano dissemblers. per

    Okay, I'm loving the idea. I can see this being great for indi stuff. Probably less hassle than hiring VO talent and a studio.

    "A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points." (Alan Kay and others) Basicly I think its because they have different points of view on problems we can find similarities in.

    Thankyou. I cant read the article from work as we block anything with the word games in the meta tags. But your post gave me most of the gist as well as making me smile with what you are doing. My hats off to you.

    Did theirs? Can real numbers be shown of the money that was generated by piracy with this service vs money that was not? My guess is from this point we will never know the real unbiased numbers, not matter who wins. Edit: to clarify tone.

    By percentage, no the fans that wait in line for a week is not huge. but the free advertising that the news gives them with the"wow look at the weirdos" spots I'm sure adds some weight to the number.
