Shader syntax error ? Where did I go wrong?

Hi,
I wrote this simple shader for a test
static const char* VShaderText =
"vs_1_1\n" "dcl_position v0\n" "dp4 oPos.x, v0, c0\n" "dp4 oPos.y, v0, c1\n" "mov oPos.zw, v0.zw\n" "dp4 oT0.x, v0, c4\n" "dp4 oT0.y, v0, c5\n";

I've done my research playing online racing games and it seems that the best way to do it is to let client has its own authority in physics (for the object it's controlling but not for other proxy objects). The server will receive the inputs mes... |

Hmm.. okay, so what I concluded so far is : fully deterministic physics engine is as elusive as bigfoot and you have to work your way around it.
I guess that's okay, I really like the input based approach rather than heavy update on the client... |

Nintendo Revolution is Now "Wii"

I'm an asian dude living in an asian country and even I know what wee means in general.
If nintendo insists on using the name it'll be a story to tell in marketing classes/books no matter what the outcome is (success or disaster).
