![]() She meets Kurtis Trent, who is after the Cabal Cult members, and so is Lara. As Lara is fugitive on the run, she must find out who did it and why. The story is darker and begins with Lara finding her mentor killed and she is the one to take the credit for it. The story and "looks" of this game was supposed to be dark but don't expect anything big from that part. London Symphony Orchestra has done good job and the athmopshere is great. Jonell Elliot handles her role well and makes the most impressive voice acting in the history of videogames. So, game play is not the best but the story, voice acting and music are. I just loved the action sequences in Louvre Galleries. All of them have different strengths and flaws. It was lot easier to use stealth mode and break their neks or just shoot them - and oh boy - Lara didn't forget her weapons home! There is many choices you can do when selecting a gun. Where's the catch? There was no use to kick or hit them because there was barely any effect to the opponent. By tapping action button once, Lara hits, by doing it twice she kicks. What would Lara be without new moves? Lara can now do hand-to-hand combat and kick some butt! But unfortuneately, this element is a poor show to run. Yes, stealth mode is something new for Tomb Raider but bad controls, sloppy camera and non-excisting enemy A.I made an end to that one. Just put the "Stealth" mode on, and they won't notice you. The Enemy A.I (like I mentioned) was bad. There were some difficulties to do some long jumping in the end and some minor problems in Louvre Galleries. The controls and camera hurt the gameplay but not so much that "Laragame" wouldn't be playable. It did quite well sometimes, except when Lara died or got too close to the wall. He is one of the only character in the world of Tomb Raider that can challenge Lara into a fight - which one we love the best! The camera system was more or less bad but not all the time. ![]() Kurtis Trent was great "new thing" but the controls were horrible and there was nothing that made him special - except he had lot of charisma. Core made the best plot for Angel of Darkness and it totally surprised me. After getting used to the new control system I had a chance to follow the story - and a great story it is. It takes few seconds for Lara to respond which makes the fighting very hard. A.I is pathetic and textures fall apart but the controls aren't that bad. ![]() But is it that bad as people or critics say? No, it is an entertaining action adventure with some small and major flaws. Lara Croft is back and she was supposed to be better than ever - but she is not! Eidos Interactive released the game half-finished and blamed Core for the poor quality of the game. ![]()

I wanted to know what my students thought about all of these problems. One of the most important is, whether we're going to settle for ignorance instead of knowledge. Should I tell you how Shakespeare dramatized the attitude of a child toward the immorality of a parent? In, um, in "Hamlet," uh, act one, scene five, the ghost of Hamlet's father says to his son, in regard to his mother, "Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive against thy mother ought leave her to heaven." In today's world, controlled by a strange combination of dangerous passions and atomic forces that can obliterate entire cities in an instant, we *must* face the responsibility for our decisions. Augustin, all the greatest and noblest of human thinkers, whose work brings us closer to God. Steve 'Mac' Macinter: Yes, the Bible brings up such questions. I'm going to reveal the source books of my questions. Steve 'Mac' Macinter: Now I'm going to shock you good people even more than before. I plead guilty to asking questions about life, and living, which naturally involve sex. And if you object to my thinking, well then, that is the crime for which I should be held. If that happens you'll be forbidden to think creatively about anything, you'll be stupefied dull till you're incapable of thought, reason, or judgment. Force may become an instrument of repression against its own citizens, and individual liberties may be outlawed. Once the worm begins to gnaw on ethical values, the character of a good society changes. Steve 'Mac' Macinter: Now, some of you were shocked by my questions on sex but are you also shocked that a foreign sociologist has described Americans as knowing everything about sex and nothing about love? Has love, like other ethical nobilities, gone out of style? Were my questions on sex dirty? Or is it the adult mind that looks for dirt? Why do we search for dirt? Why are we so determined to find dirt? As if determined to debase our minds and spirit, to the end and at last we'll succeed in splitting apart behavior and morality, science and religion, so that both will wither and we'll be left with nothing but the cheapest, smuttiest, least ennobling aspects of sex. ![]() No, the horrible things is, you're not even listening to them. Would you say they're mistaken? *No.* No, because that would force you to *think*, to at least defend a position. ![]() Shouldn't we *know* the attitude of young people towards sex? When we, presumably mature adults, no longer describe a woman as lovely, beautiful, and gracious, but as 36-24-36? When as patrons of the arts we treasure our collections of nude calendar photos? Our philosophers are warning us something is seriously wrong with the morality of our society. All the interrelated areas of contemporary society: home, education, military service, politics. I planned the sociological questionnaire to cover youth, and the push-button civilization in which he lives. And there were other things I wanted to know to pass along to anyone concerned with the world we live in. I thought it important to know what neglected moral values - square concepts that some hipsters don't care to dig - were considered worth saving. ![]() Steve 'Mac' Macinter: I thought it important to know what our educated young people, the ones we refer to as our future leaders, thought about a world that's been at war since 1914. Before I joined this faculty I had begun work on another sociological study, one that I didn't think would be as dangerous to me. To do a study of this sort involving human beings, gaining their confidence is absolutely necessary. Some years ago I began a sociological study of skid row. Let me tell you the deep secret about my past. But that can't compare in importance with what you've just witnessed - the triumph of *stupidity* over reason.

The present disclosure teaches aspects of improved coin pusher casino games that allow verifiable payback percentages within predetermined ranges to be determined and/or that provide immunity against and/or detection of any occurrences of cheating. In the past, the nature of conventional coin pusher games, where coins or tokens are placed within a token field and a pusher mechanism pushes placed coins along the token field and into one of a “win” slot or a “lose” slot, have been susceptible to cheating by both players and operators, and so have not been able to meet compliance for the above-described minimum and maximum verifiable payback percentages or cheating immunity, rendering them commercially unexploitable in regulated casino environments.Īccordingly, there is a need for improved coin pusher casino games that allow verifiable payback percentages within predetermined ranges to be determined and/or that provide immunity against and/or detection of any occurrences of cheating. Gambling machines typically require testing and approval as to such payback percentages and immunity to cheating prior to commercial placement.

The priority for Rust is knowing the size in memory of a piece of data. So, getting back to strings from the long way around. Hence, arrays having size in their types. So if Rust is to have any form of collection in the language, it must be fixed-size. ![]() An array of unknown size (or heavens forbid, a resize-able collection) must be placed on the Heap.Ĭritically, the Heap is optional is Rust, whereas a Heap and/or garbage collection are part of the language definition in e.g. A dynamic-sized local variable is a compiler error.Ī fixed-size array (where the size is part of the type) can be a local variable. Dynamic-sized types must be heap-allocated, and hidden behind a reference (the reference itself has fixed size). This is an integral part of the language semantics: local variables are stack-allocated and must have fixed size. Part of Rust's memory discipline is whether a value's size in memory is known at compile time or not. They tend to assume values go on the Heap, and treat stack-allocation as a compiler optimization. Rust is more explicit about memory manipulation and memory lay-out than many other languages, including the ones you listed. (I only realized after posting that this came across as a retort, which wasn't quite how I intended it.) Once you go outside the realm of ASCII, strings become a lot more nuanced and treating them as an "array of characters" is almost always incorrect. I'm mostly just expanding on what you already said: So although utf8 may have started as what seemed like a hacky solution to a hairy problem, it's actually an excellent, very well engineered text encoding.Įdit: and just to clarify, I'm not disagreeing with you here in general. So in other words, utf8 being variable length doesn't really add much complexity in practice because Unicode is always variable length anyway-regardless of encoding-due to grapheme clusters.Īnd on top of that, utf8 completely eliminates the question of endianness because it's a byte-oriented encoding, whereas utf16 and utf32 both require a byte order marking at the start of a document to indicate its endianess, and correspondingly need separate code paths to handle each case. So even with a & you can still accidentally index into the middle of something that should be treated as a single displayable character. What we think of as written characters are actually often represented with a series of multiple chars. get the 8th character of a string by just grabbing 8th element, because utf8 encodes characters with variable length.īut what a lot of people don't realize is that in practice that's actually true of utf32 (i.e. The main frustration most people have with utf8 is that they can't e.g. ![]() It's actually just hands down the best encoding for Unicode text.

Ramesses posted troops and ships at strategic points along the coast. The Sherden people probably came from the coast of Ionia, from southwest Anatolia or perhaps, also from the island of Sardinia. In his second year, Ramesses II decisively defeated the Sherden sea pirates who were wreaking havoc along Egypt’s Mediterranean coast by attacking cargo-laden vessels travelling the sea routes to Egypt. During his reign, the Egyptian army is estimated to have totalled 100,000 men: a formidable force he used to strengthen Egyptian influence. Though the Battle of Kadesh often dominates the scholarly view of Ramesses II’s military prowess and power, he nevertheless enjoyed more than a few outright victories over Egypt’s enemies. He was also responsible for suppressing some Nubian revolts and carrying out a campaign in Libya.

He also led expeditions to the south into Nubia, commemorated in inscriptions at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein. He led several military expeditions into the Levant, reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan and Phoenicia. He established the city of Pi-Ramesses in the Nile Delta as his new capital and used it as the main base for his campaigns in Syria. The early part of his reign was focused on building cities, temples, and monuments. Most Egyptologists today believe he assumed the throne on BC, based on his known accession date of III Season of the Harvest, day 27.
