As far as pricing goes, Macs are a little more expensive than PCs. You don't see Mac people denying this and yet Windows users want to constantly harp on it like it's some major issue.

Macs cost more. And they're worth every penny. 

At any rate, I'm disgusted that I allowed myself to get dragged into this discussion. These are always pointless and nobody ever gives an inch. I apologize to everyone who had to read this. Really sorry!

Let's get back to Quakin'. 

It has to do with endian-ness 

Good DAY, sir! 

As a peace offering, if you guys haven't played my Shooter game yet ... here:

http://wantonhubris.com/blog/2007/07/04/shooter-in-the-abstract/

It's free and there's even a version for you filthy Windows troglodytes. :P 

What I'd call another Dodge-em-up, like every extend where the goal is to avoid stuff and worry about the rest of the game afterwards.

Graphically well thought out; black is bad and white is good, the score is in the background. The mouse returning on the opposite side when going outside the window was a nice feature as well. 

WHAT? No LINUX port? 

I always felt the numerous files one has to compile for Nehahra are quite a hassle. Would it be ok if I packaged nehquake.zip, nehupdate3.zip, the latest release of aguirRe's nehahra executables (and what else is needed?) into a fresh zip and name it nehahra.zip. For the Quaddicted archive.

And the small pak0.pak unpacked (as in no-movie) (=ready to go). 

It has to do with endian-ness

wtf endianess has to do with light level ? endianess is generally how bytes ordering, but I can't see what is the issue there: could you elaborate please ? I'm proud of the technical answer.... 

endianess is generally how bytes ordering

please read endianess is generally related to bytes ordering (in a 32 bit word as example...)

sorry.. 

JPL: 0 

mac grunts look different then pc grunts?

Full Life Consequences? doh 

i am speechless 

I cannot play quake with mouse accel, it destroys my aim. OSX' mouse accel destroys pixel-perfect accuracy in paint programs. OSX' mouse acceleration neglects over a decade of muscle memory that I've developed to use a no-acceleration mouse interface. Should I change to Steve Jobs' favorite "curve" (actually more like a step function)? Really? :) 

 

At any rate, I'm disgusted that I allowed myself to get dragged into this discussion. These are always pointless and nobody ever gives an inch. I apologize to everyone who had to read this. Really sorry!

Don't worry, those of us that know better skimmed these posts at best (I just skipped a a lot of them, to be honest). 

inertia

Oddly, I've never noticed the acceleration when inside of Quake. I think it turns it off automatically (at least the Fruitz of Dojo port does anyway). Or it's my imagination. Or elves. Any one of those will do.

and it partly applies to me! Partly. 

Errrr... Blitz's HandBook reference.. or mine ? :P It actually makes a big difference you know... 

I did however read the entire article about nerds! I dont really know what Blitz was trying to say with his post. Will there be computers in heaven? Quake mapping? Or maybe the true power of the imagination will be harnessed, out creations only limited by the vividness of our lifes dreams...
