JoeUser ForumsYeah, I cut my teeth on savegames, and then moved onto a similar DOS debugging/disassembler tool to mess with various games/apps directly. Fun stuff.

WinCustomize ForumsOpenID looks interesting. It's a method of identification without explicit registration (except on your home site - one you choose to trust, rather than one you have to trust). It's in the process of being rolled out on LiveJournal and other sites that use its software. I suspect it could come into use elsewhere, if it's simple enough to setup. I wonder, wi

They probably put that there because they started getting trolled by rabid republicans (yes, I know there are rabid democrats too ).

This is true for all art. The only thing is skinning hasn't been around for so long, so people haven't been making money off it for so long. I know of few people who say "hey, you can draw, but you should only draw for free". It's expected that some of the best people who draw are going to go into business drawing for a living (and that doesn't mean they won't still be drawing for fun). The same for programming - I have written code for a living

I'd use Trillian for everything, only it's not as good as mIRC on IRC.

I'll have to see if I can snag one of those for my new work PC - right now it has the best integrated graphics money can buy! Not that I actually play many games nowadays . . . programming and writing are too much fun.

Stardock ForumsWell, no, Stardock is a little busy moving to another building right now. Unfortunately you can't drag computers between buildings as easily as you can files between computers.

I would suggest that since nobody is answering, nobody knows. Perhaps [email protected] might be a better bet? I'd also suggest trying it on another computer, and if it works there, look at what's running (particularly at startup) on both computers.

I wish I could bring my chair from the UK. It's been so worth buying. I guess I'll just have to get another one.

It was fun stuff! We were meant to get taught assembler at university, but somehow it never quite happened . . . so I had to rely on what little I learnt for myself. Frankly it's becoming less and less necessary, but sometimes you really do need to know it, or at least understand it.

This friday I finished up some work on a new version of one of Stardock's products, which'll probably see the light shortly after the company finishes moving to Plymouth . So what do geeks do with their down-time? Well, in my case, it's often pretty

That error does not occur here (although I'm using XP). Do you have any third-party addons installed in Visual Studio? What version of WindowFX are you running?

You know, it's probably from the best - from what I heard while I was at Motorola, you'd probably have been downsized in 2002-3. They started laying people off just a week before I came in on placement. :\

I'm sure the next 10 years will be just as interesting as the last (although hopefully not quite as traumatic ). Looking forward to being a part of it!

I think DesktopX, because it badly needs some widgets that people have spent some time polishing. If there is a DesktopX competition, I highly recommend people spend the time on a few quality useful widgets/gadgets rather than trying to flood the competition with gunk. Make it slick, make it smooth, make it something people will want to use all the time. And be original - it is possible! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Sm

azdruid, the main JIT cost occurs once, when you call the function concerned - after that, it's turned into native code and runs that way for the rest of execution. And even this can be avoided if you ngen (precompile) your applications on installation. I think 2.0 has better support for this; I hope people use it as it can indeed help percieved performance on startup. My performance experience with writing .NET code has been positive - heck,

Maybe he doesn't want to risk a safe thing. I mean, if he's got a good life now, why change? Some people are not ambitious for power. Not everyone is cut out to be a leader. Being a follower has numerous benefits with little risk, assuming the person you're following doesn't screw up. And if they do, who gets the blame? Them!

Woah. What's your problem with .NET? At its base it's pretty much like Java, only it tends to work even better on Windows, and has what I consider to be a far better development environment, so it's easier to make applications in it. .NET makes it a lot easier to develop applications fast, and removes a whole class of crashing errors from the picture related to memory allocation. Less crashes + more features quicker generally means better apps for cust
