From a layman’s perspective this appears true, but the reality is that the programmers are always limited by the hardware resources of any given system. The three main factors are speed (how many calculations/operations are needed to resize this bitmap in real-time?), memory (is there enough room for high restitution textures or will I have to sacrifice image quality?), and specifications (this hardware only supports 256 colors at once, I must make careful decisions about the pallet to achieve the look I want).

Sometimes what a programmer wants to accomplish isn’t possible with the current hardware. So, either a creative alternative has to be found (this sound hardware only has 6 channels, but I can use spare CPU time to mix 4 additional channels in software), or the idea is abandoned (I’ll have to make do with 6 only, since there is not enough spare processing power to mix the audio).

Do you recall what is the name of the cosy French restaurant (allegedly the chef there was trained by Gordon Ramsay) ?

Which streets are used for the procession and where is a good place to watch from.

Thank you

Dave.
