I always knew this guy was an overrated hack. He should be in

what expression is that on his face? he almost looks like a thief

I thought he literally did write a bunch of quake. Maybe he was shit hot back in the day but has had trouble learning new technologies and resorted to coasting on past success mixed with plagiarism (theft).

He's still my childhood hero.

He used to be mine... until I read Masters of DOOM and realize he's a fucking psychopath.

This latest scandal is no surprise to me. The guy has no morals of any kind. He's probably kill someone if it made him money.

But you're the retard who assumed programmers must know how to wipe hard drives. Not everyone is a fucking paranoid autist who knows by heart how to destroy digital data. It's not a part of his job, and he never thought it would need it.

Besides, he probably knew how to type "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda", or if he uses Windows then whatever the command is, but he googled just to make sure. The whole point of erasing is to make sure its unrecoverable: if you just go by the little you learned about system administration 20 years and somehow make a mistake or forget an important step, you dun goofed.

He's not a faggot for not knowing how to wipe a drive. He's a faggot for not using an anonymizing tool and trusting Jewgle with his private searches. (((That))) should be common knowledge, not only to programmers, but to everyone.

Go to sleep, Romero.

Daikatana was the worst shot in the foot. IonStorm were developing it in the quake 1 engine but as soon as Romero saw Quake 2's blaster he was mesmerized and decided to change engine. Carmack didn't write the code as he expected so the whole thing was back to square one. By the time it got out it looked outdated. All Romero did was drive around his Ferrari with his playmate gf living up the rockstar dream

Joe retard can't even understand how to turn on his computer, you can not in any circumstance explain to the average jury how programming works and how it was a copy. (Which it wasn't anyway)

The court system was made before they had access to today's complexity of knowledge.

The idea to patent and/or copyright knowledge is absurd in the first place.

I'm glad Carmack is now bankrupt and finished.

They threw their toy out of the pram, got home, then a month later they saw some kids having fun with it, they still didn't care, then the kids found out it was rare and sold it on ebay for $2 billion, and then they bitched that it was theirs and this was theft.

You can by using right analogies.

His post was about the problem with paid witness that use analogies to deceive the jury into thinking that their lawyer is right.

>>58789014
You're going to perfectly crop out the media outlet source like that you fucking faggot? Really?

I mean, at the very least I'd have to google to get a new version of DBAN. And I'd probably do a search to see if that's what all the cool kids are still using these days.

>>58792737
That very well could have been what he googled and zenimax is characterizing it this way.

Both Carmack and Romero are extremely overrated: technologically speaking, every single title released by ID were shit. Fast inverse square root you say? yet another useless hack to save a few cpu cycles.

Carmack is autistic and has no idea what constitutes "fun" for a normal person, he fired anyone around him that knew what fun was because they were not as autistically dedicated to the work as he was.

Romero blew all his money in a imaginary dick measuring contest with Carmack that Carmack wasn't even aware of.

Knowing how to program != knowing OS administration

On /g/, mediocre knowledge of each goes hand in hand because ricers both script and fuck with their OS (ie: installing gentoo). At bell labs, MS, etc, everyone knows both, because they wrote the fucking OS and the fucking OS is easy as fucking fuck, cowboy.

For everyone else, it's normally one or the other. They spend their time getting good at one and only one.
