That's very true. With a billion instructions per second, you often don't notice performance flaws right away. O(n), O(n^3), the one is instantaneous, the other takes half a second. On the other hand, many languages today have blazingly fast and highly optimized standard libraries, often fail-fast and lazy. So if you have good code and libraries, you have no lack of optimisation. If you're not doing number-crushing, you can often do better with a high-level language than in C.

I think a big problem is the abundance of software we have today. You don't need to hack your own software today – everything is available. I don't really think languages are to blame, especially not a great language like Python. Languages are just tools. A good programmer is one who knows what tool to use for what task. That includes knowing more than one tool, so someone who just fiddles around a bit with actionscript is certainly no programmer. And thanks god for better development tools. People often complain about modern software, but I maintain it just got better and better. Anyone who disagrees should try data entry with original 1970 software and hardware.

That's not amazing. 2001 was just the testbed for the technology needed to fake the moon landings. Everyone knows! Welcome to the forum, HAL9000!

You *can* pay with your credit card without signing up with paypal. But that seems to be the only other option at the moment.

Delirant isti Kerbali! (Roughly: Those Kerbals talk rubbish / are insane)

Nothing has been said about this by Squad yet. Steam is interesting for indie developers, but we don't know much about the fine print. Valve doesn't discuss those details publicly. I'm sure Squad will look into this, but i think it's too early for that.

I'll add that to wiki's FAQ section... A corrupted file is always a download problem. Please check the md5sum (for example with Microsoft's own tool FCIV.

Team Fortress 2.

I won't find any sleep tonight.

Looks pretty nice. And, a bit off-topic: Why have foreigners affection to german names for something big or mysterious?

If you forgot how to adjust the throttle: Our wiki has a listing of Key Bindings. And welcome aboard!

Neat. Making a game with nothing do to and only a few parts makes people find something to do. My friends and me, we tried to make the most hilarious crash with the VAB instead of landing atop of it. Inkerbin.
