(Sorry for my bad English in advance!) I would like to know what do game developers think about C++/CLI and whether it's practical to use C++/CLI in game development. Or, is the performance that bad(like with C#) that native C++ is still dominating? If some game developers are around here, that would be cool!

Well actually the computer is a logical device, it never could become really sentient but it could at least simulate it. But I as a programmer really don't want to see that kind of code, it must be huge and complex!

I'm sorry. I'm doing my best, but English is not easy. I was obviously referring to the album of the Scorpions. :sigh: You know the world goes down if he turns on that kind of music! Still it was worth a try even if this joke failed. :(( But that's why I'm here! To learn it. :-\

... with Marilyn Manson or Metallica ...

Well, there we have my two ex-girls, Marilyn Manson and Metallica. Yeah, I listened once to Marilyn Manson, too. Don't know why I dropped that, perhaps, ehhh, you know. So, how is the new album of Metallica? I think it's being called Death Magnetic, right? Not that I would start to listen to them again, but I'm curious because it is supposed to break some selling records if my information is correct.

I'm surprised that you think so. You have a funny name, may I ask where you are born?

I once was approached by Mormons and they tried to convince me to believe/worship their God and actually I tried, but I couldn't. My inner voice always told me again and again: "You are a Mecrinomian, you live in freedom, mental independence. Don't give it up!". And so, I dropped the Mormons and never tried again to worship a God! And I'm happy with it. But when I look at those massive crowds of people in all countries who bow, prostrate before their God, it somehow pains me and tells me: "Those people can only be wrong!". But hey, who am I to tell you not to worship a God? I'm not your mother, just someone who can not imagine to worship a God. So tell me, how does it feel to worship a God? You are not getting sick of going every Sunday to church? For sure, I would get sick! X|

Where the hell did you get that idea?

Well, once my boss heard a piece of Metallica I was listening back then and he said something like: "My God. What the hell is that for torture music?". So now, somehow, I fear, but it's good to hear from you and the other guys who are well educated, smart and talented programmers that it's actually, OK. :rose:

(Sorry for my bad English in advance!) Wow, we do love each other very much don't we? It's not the first time you step on my foot! Have you read the text at the very first line, here and at the first post? Yes, "Sorry for my bad English in advance!". To get things straight, my posting is just a humble intention to improve my English. Thank you and please don't tell me that I should go somewhere else. Because I don't think I have broken any rules!

Well, I like Metal but I'm careful with it. For some reason I have a BIG problem with swearing, that's why I left Metallica and went to Scorpions. That's also why I haven't explored the world of Heavy Metal that much because they usually swear. But however for now I have Scorpions and there is Blues-Rock, too.

Science doesn't even come close to being a religion.

Of course not. To my opinion science is a procedure of gathering information of the physical world. Religion in the other hand could base on science but is actually knowledge about life. That's why religion could be scientific, because it is actually knowledge.

yes, and why shouldn't I?

OK, in order not to mix things up again. By believe, you say that there is a God, right? That God does exist. But do you worship that God?

(Sorry for my bad English in advance.) I was wondering what music taste programmers have. Actually I'm feeling quite out of place with my two music genres, Heavy Metal and Blues-Rock. I mean a programmer is usually a well educated, smart and talented person, shouldn't he/she not listen to Heavy Metal? Wouldn't normal people think that that programmer who listens to Heavy Metal is a MORON? Personally I love the electric guitar very much, which reminds me on a newcomer called Anthony Gomes who plays on the e-guitar very well. The song War On War really rocks! Here is a link on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbbpYLU21zA[^] But keep in mind that Anthony Gomes is actually Blues-Rock and not Heavy Metal in the way of Metallica or Scorpions. Though, I liked Metallica until the point where I had enough of swearing so I moved to Scorpions. Here is my favorite song of the album Humanity Hour 1: The Game of Life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAyihmJkH0E[^] Or listen to the song Humanity, did you know that you are a drop in the rain, just the number not a name? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjb0mld4SpM[^] ... and Humanity goodbye!

Well, that's why I'm here too, to improve my English, haha. ;P

Oh, perhaps I should use the word worship instead of believe. (Sorry for my English :sigh: )

Perspx wrote:

No.

Cool, me too! But what makes you to think like that? Do you not believe in their existence? Or do you simply think that there is a better way? Well, I chose the better way. I do believe that they exist but they don't deserve our attention!

This is a stupid fucking question.

Sorry, it may not be interesting to you but others may have interest in it. But I promise you, if a few more like you show up, I'll shut it!

Simple answer: "Nope, why should I? I rather believe in myself!" What about you, do you believe in God?
