This is pretty wild science fiction cyberwarfare stuff, except it's not fiction:

What do you prefer about Github?

The JDK comes with the JRE.

Eclipse also comes with its own JRE (because it happens to be a Java application) but you can run it on a specific other JRE if you want.

I'm guessing you just want it to work.

If you can tell me the specific error I can probably help.

Reality check for cardboard guy.

Your dad is cool

yeah thanks!

Commodore USA Launches new C64 After decades lost in the wilderness, the Commodore brand is going to be shipping products again. The systems are visually and in form factor terms (all in one computer+keyboard, no screen) and under the hood they're really micro sized mobos with modern pc hardware ru...

I agree. No offense taken here. I agree on most points. Thanks for the detailed comment. The beginning to this two way cooperation and dialogue, however, is not to insinuate that we (independent developers) are somehow naive...nor would we insinuate that you are. Remember, YOU came HERE. You can in...

I think you're arguing a misconception more than anything. In your follow up you directly address the misconception and then blow it off as negligible. If the answers are things like "How could you test Starcraft 1?" or "You can't test for things like game balance" then I'm sorr...

Here's what a programmer from EA Tiburon said: I worked at EA for eight years. My running joke-that-was-not-a-joke was that we were twenty years behind the times, but I was probably exaggerating. Fifteen is a pretty good estimate. At EA, I think the problem was that the company culture was built lik...

There's two reasons. Firstly, yes I'm getting back into game development. Secondly, I think there's a competitive advantage to be had in this competitive commercial field. This doesn't directly affect bedroom or hobbyist programmers (who I adore, not least because it reminds me of my childhood). I d...

Game developers aren't behind in software/hardware technology. I don't think anyone is saying they are.

Black box testing can be done on any scale. But when you've got changing requirements, unit testing is even more useful . When you test units and some subset of requirements change, you don't need to change any of the tests that verify behaviour in the unchanged parts. Quite often you can identify t...

Unit testing is for the most part useless. Can't tell you how many times you change a bit of code only to make all your unit testes useless. If changing a tiny bit of your code makes all your tests break, you're doing it wrong. It means you have a huge amount of redundancy in your tests. Why are yo...

Uh oh. I think I've made a few Angry Nerds on reddit
