We were talking about items of value being found in space resulting in military conflict.

But only until some big bully comes along and kicks you out.

Al Queda? :lol: I was thinking more along the lines of the US sending a brave fearless cruise missile into the heart of some rival country's space program, for reasons of pre-emptive national security of course.

LOL - I did say space related. It's likely someone will bomb someone else's launch sites on earth.

My opinion is still the same as it was when we discussed it ages ago: Let the FM author decide whether or not to impose various save/reload limits.

The only way I can see hardware driven physics taking off on the PC woul be if MS will issue "DirectPhysics 1.0", such that there is a standard interface and the implementation will become a matter of choice.

At which point we could see the first space related military conflicts in history.

This is true. I do enjoy going to the NASA website and seeing all the funky stuff they are doing, but if you asked me how I would like the government to spend 1,000,000,000 pounds/euros/dollars, NASA/ESA would NOT be the first thing that springs to mind.

Hmm, I'd say this is pretty good: SpiritApproaches.jpg

We may not have Doom3 style space stations on the red planet, but I find the fact that NASA are roaming around the surface taking lots of cool pictures very exciting. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html

Well, I've submitted an elaborate c file of 1237 bytes to the contest, we shall see what comes of it.

The BNP? :lol: I voted LibDem - partly because we had no green candidate.

Wow - that is very impressive! BTW, I like this one: Note the rivets and the large round windows. It needs to look quite clunky if it's to be victorian.

Oh all-right then.

Not that it matters in this case, but in future, I'd really appreciate it if someone could please ask me before they move a thread of mine from a private section to the public part of the forum. Anyways - here's a more sane version of my code: /*main.c*/ /* NOTE: * ??< is the same as { * ??> is the same as } * ??( is the same as [ * ??) is the same as ] */ /* printf takes a pointer and returns an int */ printf(void*); /* In memory the following four bytes are: 'R', 'C', 'L', 0 */ int i={4997970}; /* int (*p)(void*) would be a pointer to a function */ /* which takes a void* and returns an int */ /* Here we have an array of these pointers, */ /* with one element: a pointer to printf */ int (*q[1])(void*) = { printf }; main() { (0[q])(&*&i); /* Calls printf - same as: (q[0])(&i); */ }

http://www0.us.ioccc.org/main.html

The following is a Windows console application I've written in ANSI C. /*main.c*/printf(void*);int i=??<4997970??>;int(*q??(1??))(void*)=??<printf??>;main()??<(0??(q??))(&*&i);??> I'll post a slightly more readable version tomorrow. :lol:

I can't listen to music while I work. Blame it on my 'hippy' days, but I just float away ...

The way I see it, every Sunday is christmas & easter & pentecost. But annual festivals do add to life's joys, so ... HAPPY EASTER !

I don't think it will actually be a problem until the mod goes live, so we have plenty of time to sort everything out.

I agree with mOdEtWo. My registrars gives me a choice, and I prefer not to use masking. As an example, check out: http://www.rcl-software.org.uk/thief/ That takes you to: http://www.rclsoftware.org.uk/thief/ (without the dash). Makes bookmarking stuff much easier. Unless we are planing to actually move the site to www.thedarkmod.com in the next few months.

I've just noticed, darkmod.com is completely wrong anyway, it should be www.thedarkmod.com .

And then make your game so violent that it ends up 18-rated ! :lol:

Even so, that title just says: <title>darkmod.com</title> which ( a ) is wrong and ( b ) will not exactly bring us many 'hits'. Instead we could have something like: <title>The Dark Mod - Doom 3 conversion inspired by Looking Glass's Thief series.</title>

We really really need a title though. Google is quite sensitive to what is in the title.
