Driver versions

tr0nic · May 22, 2004, 12:12 AM

I think that the version number of the drivers are quite difficult to remember. I mean why do you call it for example 5.10.0.3537 instead of 5.10.x or simply 5.1x?
Lame question I know

Nando Dominguez · May 22, 2004, 12:39 AM

You don't like the version number??!!!

It makes me sad, very sad. Tears don't let me read even what I'm posting here.

I don't think I can sleep tonight. My friend, you don't know how much cruel have you been.

Excuse me my friend but don't you have another thing to place your thoughts? Aagghhhrrl, I cant speak engkish.
Life exist somewhere out there, please go out, be happy.

tr0nic, the developers use the last 4 digits to display the build version, so it gets refered to as 3537

Well, understand me, I don't want to offend. Probably our community should ask to the main programmer to leave whatever is doing now and concentrate all his efforts in the quest of finding out which would be the best version number for the driver. '33' sounds good, at least in spanish. ¡33! Yeah. We might keep it one or two years until someone find a better sounding one. Or my birthday, or my telephone.. No, too long. I think I'm gonna spent the whole day (saturday) on the sofa speaking to the muses trying to find it out while listening the demo of the 'Fart Generator for HALion' library for, you know, getting inspiration. Did you hear it? Its brilliant.
So dear friend, I will keep you informed about the progress of my investigation.

Regards

nando wtf?

RIV@NVX · May 22, 2004, 02:03 PM

I think the number was chosen because of standard version numbers used for drivers in Windows or something like that.

Hi trOnic, Chris and RIV@VNX, I'm sorry for the messages. It was a friend
