$a000. rings a bell anyone
LOL
Mode X was double buffering - not triple.
TheFLY: Windows was not a bad move for programming. If was a move on OS. Programming progressed regardless of Windows. OOP and Garbage collectors were not invented because of windows, nor was multi-tasking (remember autodesk?)
Saying Windows is bad because it complicated your life is like saying cars is bad move because horses were good enough (and safer
)
HQ: All the jokers (no offense) that told you all you need is to clean your code.. Ignore them. Getting a car to run 500Mph dont require some extra-weight removel - it requires a Jet engine
Mod_perl is a good tool if you want to still code in perl but make the script run fast. Its not only accelerates the scripts it also gives you DB connection pooling tools - which are essential if you are doing DB things.
Writing in C - instead of perl will solve something but not everything. If you do DB stuff - writing in mod_perl with DB connection pooling will work MUCH faster than C code or even ASM code (with no connection pooling).
Biggest disadvantage of mod_perl = memory consumption. Its a killer. make sure you got atleast 1G mem.
TheFLY: Relying on cookies or approximation to track traffic is a brilliant idea - I would even go further and not require stats from my sponsors - just approximate the traffic I send them and devide by 2000 and multiple by $20.. Good enogh no?
Same thing with diving air/time reserve calculation - Approximation rocks ;)
Who needs Unique?.. Hell - who needs productivity? hehe. Hell - who needs tracking anything??? in average - everything is average - so fuck it
