Title: Can't fill secret servers
Post by: Araeus on June 01, 2009, 10:34:11 AM
 Installing virus on host...
Not enough bandwidth! Need 49.9911 kbs.

109.91/160 Kbs Bandwidth 69%

109.91 + 49.9911 = 159.9011, which is less than 160...

Trying to be nice and not clean off the little 5kbs adwares sitting on the server to make it fit but looks like I might have to...

so far i noticed there seems to be 0.5 BW missing on servers.
best visible when you upload with fullspeed and nothing is there.

=> 249.5 / 250

There's always that infinitesimal margin, isn't there? Gotta be a rounding error or some such thing.

must be a pretty crappy rounding error then seeing that we can have speed of 0.1
i would understand if there might be 0.1 missing, but 0.5 ?

Yes... Rounding errors do that.

poor excuse

 :nunu:

Excuse? How many rounding errors have you made in all the programs you've written? It's often a matter of misjudging the ALU of the hardware as much as it is a matter of misjudging how the compiler will treat the equation. Or both. Easily fixed, perhaps, when you know which equation is causing the problem. Imagine the tens of thousands of lines of code in HP and then call it an excuse.  :16:

last time i coded was in turbopascal :-/


it worked great though.. had alot of funny errormessages and "took care" of most user error inputs :P
:(

like thge tansformator calculation thigny i wrote yeaaaaaaaaaaars ago... when you enter less than 1 as output , you get "why you need a transformator if you dont have an output anyway" or something.
maybe i soudl start codign again..
but what language :(
i hate all the "void" stuff and ^  stuff ;)

C++ for me. Started on BASIC. But you see my point.

sure, but as mentioned above,m i hate pointer ;P

Which is amusing to me because I always preferred Turbo C and I preferred all the "void" stuff over the more "user friendly" languages. Then again, one of my languages was machine code for a Commodore 64, so I liked having all that access to the hardware.

Trying to learn to code aches my brain
And that was just 'Expression 2' in Gmod 10 ;D

Pointers?...Why hate pointers? They make our life so much easier at times (can be grueling too mind).

Code:
float x[10];
float *p = &x[10];

while(p != x){
*--p = 0.0;
}
nice no?

Ditto bro, started with BASIC waaaay back in the school days, specifically, i remember us writing our own version of Pac-Man for a class project, what fun lol.

i never had the problem of not being able to fill a server but i do notice the otherway where theres much more bandwith being used then whats there. i seen up to 150% bandwith being used on players gateways.

its still there

The bug? Yes, it is.

was really annoying when i uploaded t v.2fs whenit was supposed to have 200band

I can imagine. Unfortunately, I have no access to the code. I at least have enough knowledge that I could do some arithmetic debugging even if I don't fully understand the language the code is written in.

hey if i could get access to the code - just think of all the updates i could release :P

Must be at least a little frustrating. Ah, well. I need sleep.
