Why do you hate Windows XP

Heh heh, thanks Calum. "Bug Free" code is the easiest code to find bugs in.  Sort of like Oracle proclaiming that their database is hack proof, of course not too much later vulnerabilities were found and hacked it was....

foobar:
QuakeC is a nifty C-simplified programming language that the quake engine can read.
This way, you can make mods quite simply.

If i can do it, anyone can    :D  

If i hadn't moved all my Quake shite to my linux partition, i would've gotten you a sample, void.
But if i get my 'net running under linux i'll show you some.

But now you've got me confused - is the general term 'neighbour' or 'neighbor' ?   :confused:  
And i'm sure you saw that my 'bug free' code was a
joke ?

I just love Windows XP User #xxxxx's sig.
It makes me laugh every time.

I have a new one that's pretty much the same.

Freedom now?
Freedom NEVER! Go POLICE STATE!

In the U.S. it is spelled "neighbor" but I presume everywhere else (Europe) it is spelled "neighbour".  Same with "color" and "colour", "center" and "centre", and I also believe with "theater" and "theatre".

Here is an example of what I mean:

http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=neighbour

Since the U.S. is much younger than the English language and much younger than Great Britain I can not argue with Calum's statement that "neighbour" is the correct spelling.  However, that spelling will get you an "F" on your report card in U.S. schools.

And yes, I presumed your code sample was a joke.  I just took it and ran with it.

Ah - now i see. The one with the most letters is usually British English.

Hm. I wonder what i'd get on my school, here in Holland. I think both would be correct, don't you think ? We sure got it easier  :D
