I personaly think all punctuation names are prety lame. I like some words in them so it's more memorable. Some are funny sure, but for a long term identity something that is more descriptive is better I fell. But that's just my opinion. Clearly just your opinion. You don't have a nice, nifty all-pu...

As a microprocessor design engineer who uses Perl, PHP and mysql daily to manipulate verilog-like processor source code that includes pretty much all the punctuation characters, I can not for the life of me figure out why we can't have pretty much any character in the call sign. Only convention dict...

Mine was three characters: ';', '-', and ')'. Ask the old ones -- they'll tell legends of the eerie winking smilie haunting the playing field. Alas, the legend lives no more -- killed by punctuation rules. Now, Opteron will ride along with the rest of the ProXS team on a quest to destroy and dominat...

Hmmm. Was that me? Could have been, I've done that. I usually try to limit how much I play when I'm jumpy (which seems to be frequent lately). I will NEVER carry the flag when I'm overly laggy or jumpy. (If I do, I don't know that my connection's messed -- just drop a note.) Likewise, I won't match ...

Has anyone had any luck getting a compile to work under MacOS X? I've played with it a bit. I had to undefine availability for a couple of floating point functions (can't remember which). Now, I'm getting BackgroundRenderer.cxx:323: prototype for `void BackgroundRenderer::setCelestial(const SceneRen...
