As a programmer I will respectfully disagree with this. As they add more realism to games there is plenty of room for growth of more parallelism. In a first person shooter, for instance, you could have background threads dealing with distant enemies that are closing in or have more complicated...
For the most part, single threaded apps are on their way out. Over the next few years you will find nearly everything going multi-threaded where it makes sense, games especially. So I guess I'm questioning your reasoning behind the need to run single threaded apps at maximum speed. Or were...
I played both AC1 and AC2 as well as SWG. I only ever had an apartment in AC1, though, and never owned a house in either AC2 or SWG. I would consider DAoC's housing to be better than AC's though.
Except that ALL combinations of heads and tails have the same chance of happening assuming the toss happens under the same circumstances each time. So you are no more likely to get 10 heads and 10 tails in 20 tosses than you are of getting all 20 heads or all 20 tails. You have the same chance...
That is not entirely fair. One could openly support open source and still be adamantly opposed to the GPL, for instance (I know many people like this). Not all open source is created equal and every for profit business has to weigh in on the financial considerations for going open source with...
DAoC has a fairly complex housing system, but it is probably a bit expensive for the average player. I haven't played in a long time, though, so no idea where it is at now.
Check the file permissions on the Windows folder. If the user had local admin rights and changed the permissions somehow that could be what is going on. Also, log in as local admin and take ownership of the root folder and propagate that to all subfolders, just in case (without changing...
To be honest, I'm not entirely certain which files would need to be copied in this case. If all else is the same, though, then copying everything wouldn't be such a bad thing, so long as the BOOT.INI settings point to the right location. Since I do not have Vista I really can't be certain if...
If the computers are not on a domain then make sure you check both the share permissions as well as the file permissions. That's the only other thing I can think of at the moment.
There are several factors at play here:
* CD's are slower than hard drives
* Once the CD is inserted, it has a spin-up time (where many drives cannot start reading the CD until the drive is spinning at full speed)
* Once your OS can start reading from the CD, the OS has to "mount" the...
Check your firewall settings. I had an issue where my desktop could see and interact with my laptop but not the other way around. I am using Trend's firewall but Microsoft's SP2 firewall was still enabled on the laptop and cutting off access to other PC's on the network. Once I got XP's...
I don't think there is any way you are going to avoid it, but it may not actually result in a call to Microsoft (meaning you may be able to do it electronically). One thought would be to boot into XP and then copy the Vista files from the old partition to the new drive AFTER you've done the...
