If you don't presume to tell people what they should or shouldn't think, when they can and can't post and if you refrain from insulting someone just because they disagree with you then you and I will get along famously. It was you, not me that started with the insults. When you posted this: As I re...

But O.K. please tell us.. what's the name of this mythical language? C and C++ can do things PureBasic can't touch without huge blocks of complex code. I've moved all my development efforts there. I can feel a "Goodbye Cruel World" post coming :roll: No, not a cruel world? A croel purebas...

ROFL - weavster presses buttons, tiperton responds - it's almost a mechanical action / re-action thing - c'mon guys... Yeah :( And the.weavester apparently likes pushing peoples buttons. Do you know what we call people like that? Bullies. I've had enough of bullies to fill several lifetimes. This f...

As I recall you were the only one who got heated not SFSxOI, then you threw your rattle out of your pram when another op (I think it was Paul) very politely asked you to cool your jets. STFU, I wasn't talking to you. Of course these things are beyond the comprehension of an unprincipled heathen suc...

...he's currently serving a 30 year sentence for a sex crime involving a child (under 12 years old) He'd be out in a few years for that over here! Even our killers who get life will nevertheless be out free walking the streets within twenty years or so! Not so in Florida, at least not for sex crime...

My point is, taking my wifes definition above into account with what you said, then congratulations - your not one of the pod people yet. :) My point was that like "pod people" I sometimes take things personally when I shouldn't and then attack the person that posted it rather than attack...

Maybe because the majority of the forum users are that bit older and therefore gained their social skills before being *online* began to erode those (already well developed) social pleasantries ;-) I'll admit (grudgingly) that I hadn't thought of it that way. when many of us were growing up we had ...

Agree with the earlier comment about Forum anonymity being directly comparable with the level of rudness & agression. I think the balance is about right here... I believe a major part of it is the central focus of the forum and the type of audience it attracts. Steam attracts game players most ...

That's about the only thing that Bob does on those Forums I agree with. Which is partly why I don't have a handle like "Hawk" to go with my pic :o Yeah, I kind of like the idea too and had been toying with the idea of changing my user ID here. if someone is continuously stupid, you could ...

I think the more anonymous the message system makes you feel, the more likely people are to be rude to downright insulting. For example go to IGN.com and look up a review of any game. Below it you'll see an area where readers can leave feedback on the review. Because handles are allowed posters are ...

Yeah, the problem is the idiot courts in our land awarded millions to the idiot consumers who injured themselves out their own stupidity. Neither company was at fault in either case and yet the courts made them pay millions to idiot consumers doing stupid things. If the courts are going to be that s...

Sounds similar to a Java installation with it's JIT (Just In Time) compiler and run time environment. The big difference is Java compiles to byte code which is then interpreted by a virtual machine, but this would compile to pure machine code. That being said, you'll probably have to use a full dedi...

But I thought I read somewhere.. thus I asked for "Information". those articles are bloated of blabla and opinions Could be, I haven't read the actual source article (tl;dr) so I'm just going by what others are saying. That's probably a major mistake right there. :oops: even for a politic...

is it this? I mean... where is it said? I could interprete "responsability" for simple refunds of the price of the product. so, if the software don't work on my configuration, why shouldn't I have the right to give it back? You should have some relatively clear system requirements. If the...

It's interesting that the same individuals who were so keen on the law protecting them from pirates don't like the idea of a law that protects the end user from them. That's because there's a fundamental flaw in their thinking. There are so many possible hardware configurations, add to that all the...
