Sucks.

Right, because terrorists actually do blatantly ask 'taboo' questions. I hardly see it as logical to treat every brown person guilty until proven innocent (especially when proving them innocent takes them to miss a few of their flights). -L

zOMG MEET UP AND LAN PARTY WOO

These are all pipe dreams, but hey... We can all dream, right. Would be awesome, but... Won't ever happen. Furthermore, if it were on XBLA it should be free. I wouldn't pay anything for it. I'd donate to the coders, but actually pay for the software is another thing. -L

lol

UNCALLED FOR. -L

Looking at this from a Government perspective... Environment: If we back the Environmental movement, we can tax everybody some bullshit tax we just made up (for some reason). Civil Liberties: If we ignore these a little, we'll get away with more. -L

Choice of Airline is beside the point here, and the simple facts are that they can't lawfully just say to a bunch of Muslims that they're not allowed on the flight. From my perspective there are various levels of wrong here. Firstly, the Muslim family were having a conversation about plane security. Maybe that wasn't the best idea, however I still am on their side that they had every right to have that conversation. Secondly, the plane shouldn't have immediately kicked them from the plane just because a few (idiot) passengers complained about them, but should have questioned them first and then chose a better option (switching seats, etc). If the airline needs to eject every person from a plane for risks of safety, then their whole security system (which is heavily over-funded) is incredibly flawed. Thirdly, the Airline should not only have allowed them onto the next *immediate flight, but should have compensated the family heavily for the amount of trauma they would have undergone in this matter. They were basically labeled terrorists in front of a plane of (however many hundred people) and then when cleared by *the correct authorities but were still labeled terrorists by that Airline as they were not allowed on following flights. If anything, this is clear textbook prejudice toward a certain group of people, and not only should heads roll, I wish the best of luck to the family in taking that Airline to court and ass-raping their funding. Also, @Root: Only in America -L

If they're asss mods you can either download the conf files from the server and manually load them or you can use ?insmod <> Best place to go for more information on installing mods is: The ASSS wiki -L

We'd need decent coders. Something which there is currently an abundance of. -L

That was the most epic of anti climaxes I've ever seen. -L

That's defiantly not gameplay. -L

Who made you a mod in Supernova? Eh... Anyway, Subgame is as simple as Word, you should get the hang of it without any problems at all. -L

Before starting an ASSS zone you need to think of what the benefits are going to be. Firstly, do you have an understanding of C or Python? Secondly, do you have any understanding of running anything from command line? If either of them are a 'No' then stick with Subgame until you actually need to use ASSS. Then you need to think, why do I actually need to use ASSS? Most things can be handled well enough with a bot such as MERV or TWCore, and this is by far the better option. You face near enough 0% chance of crashing the server, and generally it is far harder to code under ASSS due to all of the callbacks. However, if you need to trace ammo, use dynamic sub-arenas or whatever else then go ASSS. Just think about whether it's actually going to be a beneficial choice for yourself. Do you have the time to learn all the ins-and-outs of ASSS, when that time can be spent on the more basic parts of the zone. But onto point, if you are interested in setting up an ASSS zone then talk to Snrrrub in game. AFAIK he is the only person currently providing ASSS hosting (even if your zone is either dead, or not even started) - with that you'll have access to FTP and will be able to see how ASSS runs and can (try) to run any modules that you've created. Just bear in mind, that if you don't already have a Map, Settings... Heck, even game-type sorted out, you've already got a lot of work cut out for yourself. -L http://wiki.minegoboom.com/index.php/Main_Page Here you will find more information about ASSS, and will be able to run ASSS on your own computer to get an understanding of how it runs. From then, if you're still interested you can compile ASSS etc. to further your skills.

Link isn't working? -L

I fell for it, but in my defense I had just woke up. -L

Looks.. awkward. -L

I've spent the last couple days trying to port by using Cider. All I can say is that I just wasted two days. -L

It can run on Mac using wine, but isn't smooth. I've spent hours trying to get it running smoother but the best FPS I can get is 11fps. It also randomly crashes. For any DirectDraw issues read up here. For more information on the MacWine project read here. Wine on the Mac has only recently got more support, so it's not much right now, however CodeWeavers have been doing well with CrossOver - but that needs to be purchased. I've loaded this up as a trial on my Mac, but it just dies when I try to load Continuum into a bottle. I may put some questions up on a discussion forum or something. -L

... I can't believe you just tried to rationalise one of the most absurd decisions made this month. Going by your logic: Muslims can't talk about the safest seat on an Airplane Muslims should always be thinking about what's going to be used against them while boarding planes I just sincerely hope that the gentleman who's time was wasted in this show of public humiliation takes up a civil rights case against this very poorly administered unprofessional airline. -L

I'd personally start with C, it's simple, not Object Orientated, useful, powerful, has free compilers, has loads of source code that you can read through and works on every platform. Also, you'll see traits of C in pretty much any language you learn, so it gives you quite a good foundation. If you are up for reading, actually pick up 'A Book on C' aka 'ABC'. It is a pretty good read, and will show you through everything. Once you understand those basics, move onto OO stuff like Obj-C, C#, Java etc. I got my copy from EBay for a few quid, so it's not exactly damaging to your income (even at 15). If you really can't get your hands on a book, settle with PDF. But, if you've got a short attention span then try to learn something with an online compiler. (read on) Also, as D1 said, Python is a good start, or if you really want something basic yet effective have a look at Ruby. With that you can get the idea of how basic operators and functions work and how to compile properly. It also has an online compiler so you can test your code instantly within tutorials. -L

It sometimes happens when I'm on my iPhone. -L

I don't know anything about this, but I think he was saying that they weren't allowed on the flight that they had booked, or the next available flight. It's pretty sick, but some people can be real idiots. -L

It sure would have been useful to transfer some of the static IP's, though. I wonder how much that'd cost. -L
