| This is the weirdest shit I have ever seen in my life.
Like, NOTHING can top this in weirdness. |

| So... I have a question.
Why does this matter? Is a quantum computer going to be amazingly faster than a regular computer? like, will it run at 100 million trillion trillion trillion cycles per second or something? Edit: As in, I kinda don't know what a quantum computer is (edited by Drag on 02-09-07 08:08 PM) |

Originally posted by Black Lord + Linux is a good operating system for running a server. If you're running a dedicated server with Linux, chances are, you most likely wouldn't regularly be using the machine to play games or install software. You (or someone else) would install the server software, and set it up, and then you'd leave it alone until you need to update the software or something. You can't counter a "Linux isn't user friendly" argument with "Linux is great for running servers", because those usages are too different. Now, my personal stance on the Linux vs Everything Else argument is that I use Windows, because it works. I *RARELY* ever have problems with Windows (which really makes me wonder what the hell some of you guys do to your copies of Windows). All of my programs and games and such work on Windows, so it works for what I use it for. I've always viewed Linux as more of a "let's hack! (not to be confused with 'crack')", or "let's make software to make Linux better!" operating system, and not much of a "let's play games!" operating system. I probably acquired this feeling because *almost* every Linux user I've ever known was the elitist "Linux > *" variety of users who are snobby and think everyone who doesn't use Linux is a lesser person in general. I know this doesn't apply to all Linux users, but I'll be damned if it doesn't apply to a lot of you. Another thing is the whole GP2X GNU incident (see footnote), which generally reinforced my indicated feelings on Linux users. Another factor that comes into play is the past. Back in the days of Windows 9x (and other related dos-based Windows OSes), Windows used cooperative multitasking. Cooperative multitasking is basically where the OS will pass complete control over to one process, which can take as much time as it likes, and then when it's done, it returns control to the OS, which then passes control to the next process, etc etc, until all of the processes have had a chance to run, and the cycle starts over. This of course has some problems, such as when a program crashes, it has a much higher tendancy to bring the whole system to a halt if it never passes control back to the OS. In those days, Linux used pre-emptive multitasking. This multitasking is basically where the OS will *dictate* a time slot for a process to run, and then it will pass control to it. When the time slot has expired, the OS takes control back from the process, and gives it to the next one, etc etc. This is much more stable and reliable, since if a program crashes or freezes, the OS can continue to operate, and the other processes are still able to run, and thus, action can be taken about the malfunctioning process. So in those days, Linux truely was more stable and reliable. However, when Microsoft developed the NT core, they implemented pre-emptive multitasking. So any Windows system that runs using the NT core will have the pre-emptive mutltasking and will be more stable and reliable. So all in all, Windows basically caught up to Linux at that point, and the only thing seperating the two now was personal preference, purpose, etc. And that's basically think how it still is these days... based on personal preference and the purpose of the machine. GP2X GNU incident: GPH, makers of GP2X were using some other company to work on the version of Linux that is used on the GP2X. Said company wasn't complying with the GNU, and wasn't making the source available. GPH could do *nothing* about this, because of the contracting and such. Anyway, some people of the community were talking to GPH, and they were *really close* to getting the problem solved, but then some lameass decided to slashdot a VERY biased and EXTREMELY uninformed version of the story, which caused a bunch of GNU followers to harass the living hell out of GPH, which effectively delayed the solution and caused tempers to worsen. The worst part is that 90% of the bashers didn't know (or care) anything about the situation or about GPH or even about the GP2X itself, and just bashed GPH based off of "oh my god someone cried wolf WE'LL HELP YOU!!" Throughout this whole affair, there were discussions on the forums, basically saying that the GNU people were jumping to conclusions, acting too quickly and harshly, and were judging unfairly since they didn't know (or care) about the situation. There were a LOT of pro-Linux and pro-GNU community members who were acting very snobbishly about the situation, basically stating that GPH should be shut down, the source should be distributed, we don't give two shits about the situation, we don't care if you were about to solve the problem, we felt it necessary to take action, blah blah blah. In the end, GPH dropped the contracted company and are either doing it themselves, or have another company that *IS* complying with the GNU. Now, how do you think I feel about Linux users after this whole affair? |

| It's easier with the pre-generated shapes because you can see the object "oh, I think it's a phone, I think this and this and this are going to be marked", and sometimes the puzzles are symmatrical like a lightbulb or something. With random you have an extremely large amount of puzzles to do, but solving them is like "Oh wow, this puzzle looks like... TV static. Just like the other 20. Great.", and it probably would be a LOT harder to tell when you're done. (edited by Drag on 02-10-07 04:02 PM) |

| It looks like you possibly have a problem with your ram. It could be as simple as just buying new ram. | |||

If not, I'm interested. 
Edit: I'm at college right now, so I am unable to open/forward ports or anything. Whoever I play against needs to be able to host, and to use TCP (the not-udp setting). (edited by Drag on 02-11-07 08:10 PM) |

| IPS Patch This is a new patch which moves the level data back into it's original location in the rom. Still won't open with SMB Utility, but I'm hoping this version will allow you to edit a level from a clean SMB rom, and then apply my patch over it without it reverting your levels.
Edit: And it also fixes some graphical errors in the animation.  (edited by Drag on 02-11-07 09:29 PM) (edited by Drag on 02-11-07 10:43 PM) (edited by Drag on 02-11-07 10:44 PM) |

| If you have more than one stick of ram, you could start by taking out one of the ram sticks, and seeing if Windows will boot more consistantly. You'd maybe need to go into your bios to let it know you have less ram. | |||

| I remember seeing another picture like this one. It was a Japanese comic and it was a side-view where Mario, riding Yoshi, jumps across a gap, and then jumps off Yoshi, to which Yoshi goes "!!!", and then the remaining panels show (slightly more anthropomorphic) Yoshi saying things in Japanese while he continues falling with walls on either side of him.
Yeah, I wonder what's going through the paratroopa's mind.  |

| We've gotten a lot of 1-2 inch accumulations. My college both times cancelled classes 10 AM and earlier, which sucks, because my earliest class of the week is at 10:30. Today it was sleeting and snowing, and just generally icy, so they cancelled classes 4:30pm and later, whereas my latest class through the entire week ends at 4:15pm. My roommate got out of a class, so he's happy about it, but he'll probably start complaining if he misses Physics (his favorite class) again, since both times classes were cancelled, he missed Physics.
Yeah, we're supposed to get huge amounts of ice and such, maybe some significant snow accumulations within today and tomorrow. |

Why haven't you downloaded Linux yet, Alastor? You've got the perfect attitude for a Linux user!  (edited by Drag on 02-13-07 09:12 PM) |

| That's pretty cool, but is that just an AVI export of a flash movie?
It's pretty nifty anyway. |

| Cool, thanks for the comments everyone!
Googie: That patch is awesome! This physics hack is much better when there are levels that actually cater to the altered physics.
Stifu: I understand what you mean, but my original intent here was like what AlexAR said, I wasn't trying to make an actual full-blown rom hack of this game, I was just testing myself to see if I could make an asm hack. The reason I shared it with everyone is because I like showing off my work, and like a few people have demonstrated, and like HyperHacker said, someone could actually take this asm hack and do something even bigger with it. Also, I thought adding pointless animations with the hills and trees and stuff bobbing up and down was funny.  |
