Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

Who hates programming?

    I hate programming since asembler and C became obsolete. Too bad now I have no choice but to write shit using awesome OOP in Java and Sth.Net.

    It became obsolete for stuff it is not suitable for. It's still the most widely used language.

    If a technology was once widely used, but now it is not- except by a bunch of freetards, perverts / hobbyists and specialists- then words like 'obsolete' and 'meaningless' fit it well.

    Suitability is a funny thing, it depends mostly on competiting technology. Now there are languages where even a drunken moron can produce working program.

    Programming is only fun if you work toward your design. Fucking deciding on what everything should look like at the code level is bullshit. Its like deciding what an A should look like on a test rather than simply knowing the answers .

    When I program something from scratch, I love it.
    When I have to dig through someone else's legacy code, I fucking hate it. Too bad it's 90% of the stuff I do at work.

    A Unix novice came to Master Foo and said: “I am confused. Is it not the Unix way that every program should concentrate on one thing and do it well?”
    Master Foo nodded.
    The novice continued: “Isn't it also the Unix way that the wheel should not be reinvented?”
    Master Foo nodded again.
    “Why, then, are there several tools with similar capabilities in text processing: sed, awk and Perl? With which one can I best practice the Unix way?”
    Master Foo asked the novice: “If you have a text file, what tool would you use to produce a copy with a few words in it replaced by strings of your choosing?”
    The novice frowned and said: “Perl's regexps would be excessive for so simple a task. I do not know awk, and I have been writing sed scripts in the last few weeks. As I have some experience with sed, at the moment I would prefer it. But if the job only needed to be done once rather than repeatedly, a text editor would suffice.”
    Master Foo nodded and replied: “When you are hungry, eat; when you are thirsty, drink; when you are tired, sleep.”


    Upon hearing this, the novice was enlightened.

    Actually, that first post was another error... just found the right one... it's horrible.

    Anyway, it appears the application depends on the windowmanager to get some visual property... when it's shutting down... property outdated. Well, at least in linux where that actually happens.

    "Fixed" by a init.d script

    I dont know shit about programming,I passed the tests in middle school with watching and copying the guys monitor sitting in front of me(he was bro and didnt mind).The only game I wasnt able to make playable on my modern comp. was system shock 2,but I wasnt that far(after a few hours the game ran just fine on w7 but I was unable to use inventory and I lost interest but I am sure that there is a solution for that 2 out there).

    All I ever needed is google(and if google doesnt offer a solution I will just open my mouth and ask)

    Well, computer science = programming, not setting stuff up on your computer. I'm not particularly good at programming, I guess I'm getting better, but I'll never be great and it's not something I enjoy much. I use it to make games, and as long as the games can run functionally, my education is validated.
