Should be easy. Just create a MySQL table called Users and have two fields "username" and "password" in the table. When somebody tries to log in with a username, check to be sure it matches the password stored in the table for that username. O…

10.3 10.3 will be compiled with GCC 3.3 and the development tools will most likely use GCC 3.3 as well. That alone should provide some performance increase since there will most likely have been a host of improvements to it's ability to write Pow…

Thanks for the link to the sin and cos optimization. I might have to see if I can do that, but since my code is using radians, it might be harder to do.

I converted my applet from awt to swing and the speed wasn't noticeably faster. I believe the math functions (Math.sin(), Math.cos(), etc) or fillOval are the slow parts of my program. Or perhaps it's just the high amount of math involving dou…

[quote]Originally posted by AirSluf: Generally untrue. Compiled java is pure JVM bytecode, the compiled code is identical for EVERY platform, app or applet. You can run into problems if you use extensions to Java that aren't part of the pre…

Well, my CS professor may have answered one of my questions, which was "what is a misaligned double?" Here is his response: "Computer CPUs tend to use an extra cycle when loading/storing a 4-byte data value whose address is not divisible by 4.…

compiled java applets are platform independent. Compiled java applications are not. cross-platform C or C++ code typically won't have any graphics or gui stuff, because that stuff is platform specific. java graphics and gui stuff are not platf…

What is a misaligned double and how can it be fixed? (somebody said something about tweaking your code to fix this)

I don't think it would be quadruple buffered, but I'm not sure. There are two versions of the window in memory and then two versions of the java graphics in memory so there are 4 window buffers for the java applet in question, but what happens is…

are you referring to graphical applets, or command-line applications? I do find that applets with graphics like my scaled graphics program is sluggish on my powerbook but runs fine on these 700Mhz celerons around me in class. *sigh* [ 09-19…

I see lots of video card drivers... I did notice that some web pages which used to take forever to load were working fast now. That pleases me. The startup right after the update seemed a bit slow, but maybe that was just a one-time thi…

I'd go with Cocoa because so much stuff is done almost automatically for you when using Cocoa.

I suppose it might be this weekend or early next week then. It is interesting that the knowledge base article made no mention of graphics, despite many people claiming the graphics are much faster. I'm looking forward to it for stability and a…

another anti-mac article written to generate more sign-ups... The fact that people try writing such inaccurate articles to bash OS X says that they are scared. They know OS X has potential and they want it to fail, much like I want the X-Box to f…

[quote]Originally posted by Whisper: The way I understand it, Quartz double buffers everything equally. Quickdraw doesn't, so to get double buffering under OS 9, the developer has to do their own double buffering. The problem is that some devel…

that horse... college thing! Lewis Black said that when he was on campus! Oh, I'd say it's hard to quantify the value of something, but I think Jaguar is definitely worth having. I guess if I look at as costing about as much as 3 computer games, …

maybe you didn't set the energy saver preferences yet? mine sleeps if I leave it sit too.

you can always add a firmware password...

I believe it is AGP machines with Firewire. Not that AGP is a requirement, but I believe Target Disk Mode was added starting with the motherboards that had AGP.

Yeah, I tried it right after reading his post and then felt stupid for not realizing this sooner. I've been using Windows too much at work which causes me to try and over-complicate things all the time.
