I would pay eleventy billion dollars for a creative player.

Apple now has a whopping 75% of the marketshare in Norway. So much for not being popular in Europe. Hehe.

If Apple wants to keep it's leading position in the MP3 players market, it should work on collaboration with a cell phone manufacture, just like Sony-Eriksson. In the near future p…

Im programing an artificial player for connect 4, and need a good board evaluation function to start off with. For those that dont know what this is, its a function which takes in …

So, are you looking for someone to code this function for you or are you looking for ideas?

Do your own homework.

One possible function would be to go through every possible way of getting four in a row in the game, and giving a score based on how close each player is to completing that partic…

thanks much juggle, as to the other two posters no i was not looking for someone to hand me the code but a very helpful post like juggles, something you two are obviously not cabab…

I did a assignment just like that for ~ 2 month ago, we used the eval function described by Juggle5. You can always let to AI player play eachother with diffrent weights in the eva…

Unfortunately many web sites are coded to support the quirks of Internet Explorer and do not render or behave properly on other browsers. My family was visiting over Thanksgiving,…

The Slashdot bug has been fixed on the trunk. If this particular bug irks you a lot, you can file a bug with bugzilla. The transparency of the development process is half the fun o…

The problem is with the site's code, not Gecko. The code is a complete mess. But as for this particular problem, this "bleeding off of the edge of the menubar" appears to actually…

Those links seem to render fine in Safari. Is Safari doing something here to compensate for IE-designed sites?

Safari doesn't use Gecko. While it is really a problem with the page's horrendous code, it's still suboptimal performance of Gecko to render it incorrectly if it's possible to ren…
