no one infringed on don imus' free speech. he worked for a company that would lose money if they let him stay on. The company chose to fire him/force him to resign. He can still go out on the street and say whatever he wants and he won't get thrown in jail. Is the government supposed to tell companies how they can and can't run their business? It's certainly not don imus' right to have a radio show that thousands of people listen to, if that's what you were saying. In some european countries you get put in prison for denying the holocaust. That's a violation of free speech. It's much worse in middle-east countries. Being labeled a "sexist/racists/bigot" is not a violation of free speech. "4 white males jump 1 black male it's instantly a hate crime, yet if 4 black males jump 1 white male its just a plain mugging". muggings are an expression of speech? no. If you want to live in a world where you can call anyone anything and they're not going to label you an idiot for doing it then you're dreaming. Such a world will never exist. free speech means no state punishment for what you say, and that is what we have.

branding you an idiot and taking away your free speech are two separate things.

Okay good news! The tutorials for starting out with eclipse and making modules are done! That's right you're officially out of excuses not to help. The tools you need are all free and there are video tutorials explaining each step of the process. Covered in the new video tutorials tutorials: * Obtaining the discretion code (and binary) using svn * Getting the minGW compiler and making sure it works * Downloading the newest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) * Acquiring and testing Eclipse with CDT (Eclipse for C++ development) * Creating and testing a simple Discretion module with Eclipse * Discretion/Eclipse tricks and tips for accelerated development Again, they're videos, and they assume you don't have any of the tools installed to start out. They are up on the wiki Discretion tutorial site (along with the older picture tutorials). Picture = 1,000 words. Video = 1,000 Pictures or 1,000,000 words. Wow! http://wiki.minegoboom.com/index.php/Discr...Module_Tutorial (also if you missed it in the post above there's a binary which you can download if you just want to run Discretion)

in 2nd grade the teacher asked the class what we thought was the solution to the war in Bosnia... we came up with "take them over" anyways, obama's got 10 years of political experience... it's not like it's his first day on the job.

we have three senators in the race who all haven't held an executive office?

finished converting the rest of the modules... already found one major bug in the timers module just by switching compilers. here's another interesting difference in compilers you probably didn't know existed: I had this code if (picFunc) { Point p(p.x + letterSize.w / 2, p.y + letterSize.h / 2); picFunc(&p, numPics++); } with a Point p outside of the scope of the if statement. Visual studio used the intended (outside) value, while mingw used the currently-being-declared value to initialize the structure (which resulted in a structure with junk data in it). meh... I think it's interesting... screw you guys Anyways the performance looks decent. I ran it on a few different resolutions with the minGW one consistently getting a few more fps than the old msvc one. I'm not sure how much of this is due to minGW and how much of it is due to using newer dlls for SDL and such. I suspect it's a little bit of both. Anyways with full screen 1400x1050 at 32 bit color depth (the highest res my laptop allows), the old one gave me 39 fps vs 42 with the mingw compile. so looks like we got a slight performance gain! (note that on 16 color depth the fps doubles to over 70 for both of them; discretion's performance doesn't suck! [also i'm running two screens and have eclipse open]) I'm going to get the newest version into the svn branch, merge it with trunk (gulp), make a tag branch and get some sort of executable so you guys can fool around with it. I'll probably also make some videos explaining how you can get started with Discretion development using minGW and eclipse (without needing to buy anything). edit: here you go https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...group_id=188579 I even left the modified bombs in for you

So I'm slowly converting the project to use mingw and eclipse as a build environment for windows... so this means you don't need to have msdn to compile and you'll be able to compile and develop Discretion using free software!!! As a side effect expect larger file sizes (confirmed), and slower run-time (won't know if this one's true until the whole thing is converted over). If the performance sucks I'll get the newest msvs 2008 and yeah... we'll use that. I'm pretty excited about minGW... so far I've converted and built the deps (freetype/aedGui), the front end and settings handler module. It doesn't seem to like to play with the older modules, but that may be because I'm using a newer version of freetype/sdl/sdl_* ect. Also, the c/c++ linker is my new enemy the hard part should be over though, now just the grunt work of creating an eclipse project for the modules one by one. Also, S!@#$%^&* is making us a kick-!@#$%^&* skin, take a look at a preview:

American woman arrested, strip-searched for sitting with a male coworker in starbucks: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/07/...in3800725.shtml We let them have stupid laws in their own countries, why do we want them influencing ours?

"Shared/Snprintf.h" should be "Shared/snprintf.h"

same way as continuum, esc + 1

"Bak, the US would still need an agent present to deliver the photos." What? Internet + Encryption seems like it would work.

the military budget doesn't include spending in Afghanistan and Iraq (why do you think there's a fuss in congress every few months to approve additional funding for the wars)

eclipse is my favorite IDE of all, and it's made for Java

that's what it's going to come to in the end. Of course we're not willing to go in and kill some innocents for peace, however once we leave we'll just pick a side and give them money and intelligence and they'll do the dirty work for us... business as usual.

what if we throw a couple more $125 million jets at the problem?

the iraq war only costs 22 billion? must be an old letter!

why are there so many? I'd say rename SettingsHandler to SettingsHandler.so and cross your fingers. I'm actually really glad you're doing this since I'm sure it will help a lot of people out. I'm concerned about your previous error though. an aedTextbox extends aedStaticText which extends aedCaption which contains the definition: virtual const char* getCaption(void) const Are you #including the aedgui/include directory from the deps folder when you compile?

If his 15-minute movie was about inconsistencies in the New Testament, factual inaccuracies in the Torah, Mormans wearing magic underwear, or the ridiculousness of Scientology, no one would care. The Dutch ministers wouldn't tell him to stop making the film, he wouldn't have to prepare to leave the country because of death threats, and there wouldn't be a national day of protest anywhere on the world. I know it's 10% of the Muslims who do 90% of the complaining but come on, do they really expect to control what people are saying on the other side of the world?

I think Islam has a chip on its shoulder. Free speech isn't free if you only allow people to say things you agree with.

oh cool, sdl has a truetype font module, I was just using freetype... maybe I'll see about using the sdl one for windows too. so did you have to install freetype too? or was sdl_ttf enough?

intelligence in the form of photos from space can drastically determine battles between countries such as these; the usa doesn't need to have troops or secret agents present in order to be of major influence.

nope, try again
