Leeroy Jenkins makes it on Jeopardy If you've played World of Warcraft you can't help hear of the legend of Leeroy Jenkins. Aside from being a totally hilarious video and leading to a stream of copy cats not seen since Dave Chappelle's "I'm Rick James, Bitch!" it has turned up as a Qu...

DIS dead reckoning question (from Gamasutra article) It's been a while since I've read that and I don't remember my gama login so I hope I don't repeat what's already in there. It also depends on how the object is moving and the rate at which you send out updates. So if you have something that...

PHP - mysql_num_rows Agreed, print out the exact query it's doing and cut and paste that into some other tool ( web or command line based ) to see what result it returns. If it's not valid then you know the issue is with the sql statement. If it does return a valid dat...
