Weird Compile Errors

If you end up with commands that aren't recognized,

The example I have is in Compiling simplescalar commands

it says that "-redir:prog " was not found which is complete BS.

The problem could be....if you copied it from a pdf or from another word processor:

— – - <----those are all different ascii hyphens. For some reason they got converted to the middle one there.

Anyway just delete and put the correct ones

Roman Legions / Hadrian's Wall /Britain

So there have been many many movies based on the topics above.

Here are a few and my recommendations:

King Arthur (2004) PG-13 (Theatrical) R (Director's Cut) 126 mins

IMDB Rating 6.4

Plot Summary:

Arthur is actually a roman soldier, and the movie takes place while the Roman Empire is essentially collapsing. Arthur leads a bunch of his 'knights' from Hadrian's wall. He and his knights only want to finish their duty and be honorably discharged and freed. They are given one final mission to rescue a boy.

My Take:

First off: See the Director's cut.

There has been a lot of criticism about this film, but for what it is, I found it amusing. Its also the first movie I saw Clive Owen in. The movie has a pretty all star cast and an INCREDIBLE soundtrack, some pretty funny lines and some good fight sequences. It's no gladiator or braveheart but still good.

Recommendation: See IT

The Eagle (2011) PG-13 (Theatrical) 114mins

IMDB Rating 6.2

Plot Summary:

So the story is, the Ninth legion vanishes without a trace and a young centurion named Marcus Aquila arrives from Rome to figure out the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. He and his british slave Esca set out past Hadrian's wall to find the lost emblem of the Ninth, the Eagle.

My Take:

Well, I thought the opening scene was awesome. But honestly the rest of the movie was fairly unremarkable. this may seem harsh, but I really didn't care or give a damn about the characters in this movie. I thought It was kind of lame. The ending wasn't that great either.

Recommendation: Skip it.

Centurion (2010) R (Theatrical) 97 mins

IMDB Rating 6.4

Plot Summary:

The ninth legion, is once again the topic of discussion like in the Eagle. In this version, the Ninth gets utterly annihilated and the survivors are on a quest to just get back home.

My Take:

I really liked this film. It stars the chick from Hitman, and magneto from Xman First Class. I thought the violence and combat sequences were really good.

Recommendation: See IT

SimpleScalar Problem with archives, .a files

If you get:

"could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one

make: *** [cjpeg] Error 1"

Put in $IDIR/bin and rename

Float.h Errors

If you see:

"float.h values not know for cross compiler"

Steps:

make LANGUAGES=c CFLAGS=-O CC="gcc -m32"
make enquire
$IDIR/simplesim-3.0/sim-safe ./enquire -f > float.h-cross
make LANGUAGES=c CFLAGS=-O CC="gcc -m32" install

Now if you get an error with equire:

. / Xgcc-B. /-DCROSS_COMPILE-DIN_GCC-g -I./include -I/usr/include-DNO_MEM-DNO_LONG_DOUBLE_IO-O0-I.-C. / Enquire.c

make: *** [Enquire] Error 1

Solution:

The first 8 lines in enquire.c add:

# Define _GNU_SOURCE

That's it. Current problems is to use sim-cache and sim-outorder

execution encountered an error when gzip (gzip with sim-profile executive is normal; mcf with the implementation of these three are normal):

Rocketfish™ - Earbud Headphones - Purple

Model: RF-MEP3PR | SKU: 1085021

So I bought a ton of Rocketfish earbud headphones on sale during Black Friday last year as a gift for myself for Christmas. I finally started using a pair in January, it is now Feburary, they are broken, most likely a lose connection. Yea, I probably could open them up and re-solder them but it hardly seems worth it. Just a warning to everyone, do not be tricked by the price, not worth it.

Missing Header in Word 2007

This randomly happened to me one day, whenever I created a new document the header and footer was missing, but I could add it by inserting a header manually. The solution is to move the mouse over the top boarder of the page. The cursor will change to a double arrow (arrows facing each other), if you double click it then the space will be shown again.

Review: Greed Black Border

Okay here is the quick an ugly for this game.

I was looking for a co op game to play with a friend and in the steam store I stumbled on Greed Black Border for $4.99

Initially, it seems like Torchlight, but in space. In reality it is actually a much poorer game. The first problem when starting the game in co op is you might notice there are no servers to join when you click multilayer. After a quick search I discovered you could link up using GameRanger. Thank Goodness.

My main gripe with this game is that the intro level is super long. I spent two hours wondering around and I only made it to the command center.

You collect currency but no storekeeper is in sight for a long time.

Even though there is different armor and guns, the gun pretty much is the SAME it never changes, and the armor only slightly varies in color.

Also there seem to be a hardcore repetition of enemies. Do not be tricked, this is NOT on the same tier as Titan Quest, Torchlight, Sacred or Diablo II. Honestly, you could probably miss out on it. Cool concept but in the end I feel this game fails to live up to its full potential as an Action RPG.

Its a good thing at $5 it wasn't a costly mistake. Kind of like trying a bad band of beer at the bar.
