I knew as soon as I read this that this was exactly what we we were going to get. At best a totally one-sided view of the situation.

That's what we're trying to decide. I can think of a few ways to do it on other sites, and we can post the results, and maybe links to the games, here in the forum, but an efficient way to do it entirely on X10 would require a lot of work to set up. Which is ok, it's all about learning for me...

4,611,686,018,427,387,904 four quintillion six hundred eleven quadrillion six hundred eighty-six trillion eighteen billion four hundred twenty-seven million three hundred eighty-seven thousand nine hundred four. Just thought I'd speed this along a little bit.

"You realize that you're giving me ideas?" If she says "What kind of ideas?" you're home free. Edit: I'm gonna try that one of these days, just for a laugh.

At this very moment. Bob Seger Night Moves is on the radio good tune.

Sure. or an alternative is to have one person act as a tournament director, announce the pairings for each round, and let the two opponents decide for themselves how they want to play it out. Myself, I favor "postal style" internet chess, at a site like gameknot.com, where you can log in...

"ON x10" is kind of a moot point, imo. it's easy enough to post the results in forum thread, but not so easy to actually have a game applet in a thread. We can always link to some other site hosted on x10, but really, what's in a name? May as well have it on a site where everything is already...

Right now we don't have the technology in place to do it on x10, but we're working on it. Maybe it is doable, maybe it isn't. There is a chess thread in Forum Games also.

OK, then you probably realize that it depends what you want to do. The standard interface is not so much a bunch of shared libraries, but a protocol, a system of text commands, sent by standard i/o streams, that just about every engine or GUI on the market works with. So for example if you...

Yeah, it isn't clear, it depends what you replace "their" with. Here are two correct forms... 1. I guess someone who says they're smart but really aren't. 2. I guess someone who says he is smart, but really isn't. 2. is probably better than one, but I think both are acceptable...

zen-r you missed a couple. The problem is, a spellchecker won't help someone who is clueless about grammar and proper word forms. :nuts: LOL

Consider getting a Windows box to handle the more difficult challenges. Do you have problems with 16-bit apps in general, or is this the only one you have?

the game is still on, we're taking our time. Right now I suspect that ichwar is reaching the conclusion that he's already in trouble, and is deep in thought in a futile attempt to not lose material.

cool. I have one as well, it's at fchess.x10hosting.com. Right now it's just an applet that you can move the pieces around and a basic engine to play against the computer, but I want to expand the site to include some basic database functionality using php/mySQL, and also to allow people to log...

I'm mostly into Java, I also do some HTML. NetBeans is pretty slick, but like most IDE's it is very resource hungry. On my older PIII-733 with 512MB of RAM, it is slow as molasses, so I refuse to use it. I like an openSource program colled Notepad++, which is basically a deluxe text editor. It...

1. google.com - I use iGoogle with a few selected gadgets for news, crossword puzzle, gmail, etc. 2. java.sun.com - it's a great resource for programmers, their java tutorials and API documentation are excellent. 3. facebook - I have a very large extended family, it's great for keeping in...

I have noticed several times with Chrome that a tabbed pane will "separate" from the rest of the application and you end up with two instances of the browser, one with just the "separated" tab, the other instance with all the rest of the tabs I had open. weird. It seems to happen during periods...

I'm still rocking, but the two bands I was nominated for were back in the '60s

I was nominated three times to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, once under my own name, and the other two times under bands that I was a member of, Name my name, and also the other two bands I was a member of.

Can't argue with that. I don't mean to be moralistic, but it's really just stealing. But I don't feel too sorry for companies like Microsoft though. The losses associated with pirating software, music, movies, are overstated though. Industry guys will make an estimate of the value of the...
