A critical bugfix!

I discovered a problem with testgl.c which absolutely MUST be fixed! Not
fixing this bug immediately will be a great blow to budding OpenGL coders
everywhere!–

hey, quick question, is there any way to speed up the
performance of uquake-x11?

I say we shouldn’t fix bugs, it encourages them to come back…

Kind of like a hospital… People get injured and go there to get fixed… if
they didn’t get fixed, they wouldn’t go there. Since we want to get rid of
bugs, I say we shouldn’t fix them.

Depends on your interpretation of the word “fix”. “Fixed” people very
rarely come back… :wink:

Just delete the offending code if it contains bugs. Buggy code doesn’t
work, so it’s safe to delete it.

Hm, in some cases a bugfix should be done via recoding … but not always
(probably least of all cases), only someone studying computer-science could
be this determinately wrong …
