"Wait One" referring to waiting a minute is US dialect / jargon. We should have "WaitOneSecond", "WaitOneMinute", ...

Nope. WaitOne means you're waiting on a single signal as opposed to WaitAny and WaitAll. The term "WaitOn" could mean "wait on one signal" or "wait on any signal" or "wait on all", all of which are very ambiguous with the adjective "on". When dealing with threads and signaling, being very clear is critical for successful task/thread management.

Considering how much you like proper naming, I would have called it BRB just to see your reaction.

To truly punish them we'd make them maintain our legacy code. Serves 'em right.

Or as is often the case, BBL.

It's based on waiting for a single object. There are also WaitAny and WaitAll that wait on an array of objects.
|
|

Its not waiting for an object, its pausing itself until the timeout period elapse or the release signal is received. I think it should just be called wait(). Wait one implies that it waits until the supplied thread is released which is not what happens.

Requirements: 8 G Ram. That's crazy. I can't remember what I had on my PC when it came out, but surely less than 256 K. Maybe only 128K.

I think that's probably the min requirement for either Windows or the Epic store. I'm pretty sure it doesn't need an Intel Core i5-750 (or those graphics cards) either.

Computer says no.
Minimum specs back in '93 were a 386 with 4meg of ram.
(which was all Dad could afford for a number of years. Cost 4k in '91)
Wasn't it just something else after the already amazing Wolfenstein? My ears nearly melted after getting a sound-blaster in about '94
