This is probably the most clever troll topic I have ever seen, ever.

I'm not sure I believe Kalphiter. I haven't received any mail from HoneLive on the topic of network difficulties, which leaves only the possibility of server crash, but that seems entirely unlikely.

How do you guys know if it got attacked, maybe it just went down? I thought Hosting Companies have things like Sonic Walls to protect their computers. I know SoftLayer has extra protection options but that's money

Badspot unknowingly confirmed it. He replied to a comment that was about a DDoS attack without saying it wasn't a DDoS attack, and I have a strong feeling he would have corrected me if I was wrong.

Furthermore, if you spammed refresh trying to get through the attack you would have gotten an error like "The server sent no data." This is pretty tell tale of a DDoS attack, the server was so busy serving the attack that once it accepted your connection (something that wouldn't happen if the server was down) it was unable to send content before your browser timed out.

Modification Help / Re: Difference between VB.NET, C#, C++, TorqueScript

« on: December 19, 2012, 02:34:38 PM »

C# by itself is a language, you're talking about the Microsoft C# .NET implementation. There is a decent cross platform implementation of C# called Mono that runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS and Android (and I think FreeBSD?). You don't give C# as much credit as it deserves -- it runs at pretty decent speeds, but there's not much interesting available library wise.

You're right, I forgot about mono.

No, it's an interpreted language and a slow one at that (fastest interpreted languages are generally standard Lua and Mozilla's JS implementation, SpiderMonkey before they added JIT support).

TorqueScript uses a virtual machine that runs on byte code, which TS is converted into upon execution. To my understanding, this is what a JIT compiler does.

EDIT: my understanding of JIT compilation was wrong. forget you, Wikipedia.

Looks scary? It's a weapon designed for military use! The rate of fire is fast as hell too.

Limited to the rate you can pull the trigger, it's semi-auto.

I threw them down to size, but they have white backgrounds. Transing them will take too much work.

I made that avatar, and if I remember correctly, that one has over a hundred-some frames and that's not gonna happen, sorry.
