I like evilwm ;-p (icewm is nice if you want a tradtional(read: windows like) wm)

What an idiot. Does he not understand that celebrities are the refuse of democracy and free speech? (an unfortunete by product) Oh and whats this daniweb irc incident you speak of?

I don't like apple because their products all seem to be targeted to the weird hip college generation. Its really annoying how people swear by their ipod when there are lots of music players with higher quality sound and more features. Apple makes their money off perceived innovation, the "coolness" …

I am just wondering why you can only post attachments with certain extensions? I mean seriously whats the point? What if I want to distribute my .emacs file or my .xmodmap file or my .xinitrc file? What if someone wants to post a tar.gz or a tar.bz2 archive?

output: [code=c++] cout << "Hello, World\n"; // '\n' returns the line [/code] input: [code=c++] cin >> var1; //sets var1 to the user input (most of the time) [/code]

[code] while(true) { system("<yourcommand here>"); Sleep(90000);//have to include windows.h I think } [/code]

Why can you never post real links? I find it annoying that I am asked to download a file called "jp.swf" whenever I click on one of your links.

use sdl_mixer.

You should probably just create a struct that stores the name of the person and their score. Then store the the bowler struct in a vector.

Yeah xkcd is pretty sweet but I prefer comics that are actually well drawn. My favorite comics would have to be ctrl-alt-del and user friendly.

Wait a second... I thought this was the 21st century...

[url]http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/ape.html[/url] What doesn't work?

Because its not a very useful language?

yeah when I was installing ubuntu on my parents computer the wireless card refused to actually work. Try using wifi-radar. After a few tries it should start working...(or at least it started working for me)

An easier pain free way is just [inlinecode] nvidia-xconfig [/inlinecode]

I think its the same as using your harddrive. On my dads computer I have linux installed on an external harddrive w/ grub being on the main one. But people install grub to all sorts of things like floppy disks, flash drives, cdroms, etc. So I think its the same …

edit

Actually for noobs I would recommend a traditional/hardcore unixish distro. This allows you to start learning immediately. Also with a tradition unixish distro, the skills learned will carry over to almost any *nix.

Great it got my personality completely wrong.

>After talking to a friend, I'm thinking of running Virtual PC instead of partitioning my drive. Anybody know of pros and cons regarding both methods? If you want to run a virtual machine I would recommend vmware server edition, its free and _a lot_ faster and better than Virtual PC. …

offtopic but the wig looks pretty stupid... Do all UK judges wear them?

There are lots of algorithms for finding prime numbers. The simplest and most crude would be to check every odd number up to 1/2 of the number.It works fine as long as you don't particularly care about performance.

I would agree that, like most of our bloated under effective government, it needs to be rebuilt. But the poll options are a bit misleading.

heres a function that should work: [code=c++] SDL_Surface* getImage(string filename, int r=255, int g=0, int b=198) { SDL_Surface* loadedImage=0; SDL_Surface* optimizedImage=0; loadedImage=IMG_Load(filename.c_str()); optimizedImage = SDL_DisplayFormat(loadedImage); SDL_FreeSurface(loadedImage); Uint32 colorkey=SDL_MapRGB(optimizedImage->format, r, g, b); SDL_SetColorKey(optimizedImage, SDL_RLEACCEL | SDL_SRCCOLORKEY, colorkey); return optimizedImage; } [/code]

a better way to check if the process is running is: [code=bash] if ! ps -C <yourprocesshere> > /dev/null then #... fi [/code]

Not that anyone uses Dev-C++ on linux.

get your data and reinstall.

>I think fate is a dangerous notion. You can get wrapped up with the idea that if anything was meant to be -- it would happen. So you end up living your life just waiting...and that's the worst thing you can do, because at the end, you just can't help …

2(disclaimer, one of my firefox ad ons inserts a 2 at the beginning of every post, I cannot change this.) The only things I like to do that do not involve my computer are: fencing, reading, chess, and solving my rubiks cube. (my calculater, gp2x, and other devices have been …

Sorry but I don't care enough. When we eliminate [I]human[/I] cruelty and [I]human[/I] poverty maybe...

Ok. Try opening a terminal ~100 or so times. Is your harddrive spinning?

Ok so I made the following script: [code=bash] #!/bin/sh if ! ps -C screen > /dev/null then exec xterm -fg green -bg black -e screen else if ps -C xterm > /dev/null then exec xterm -fg green -bg black -e screen else exec xterm -fg green -bg black -e screen …

>do graphics card go in notebooks? if so would a GeForce 6800 or ATI Radeon X850 fit? You will want to get a video card specifically designed for laptops. The Nvidia Go series cards should work fine. > need some help on a few things... i have a Dell x300 …

Right here I guess.

check your bios and make sure that it is booting to the harddrive first.

I never get spam on my main gmail account. I have another account that I sign up for things with.

you could blacklist it I guess.. not sure how to do it with non BSD init scripts or ubuntu (yes BSD init scripts rock). Ubuntu tends to complicate things by making them simple!

use debian for servers. (many distros including gentoo and arch get a new kernel every week or something. Its really annoying)

2I have a laptop with 15.4. A bit cramped for running flash and blender.

>You know what I want when I die? Nothing.. I wouldn't care if people kicked my body around, took a crap on it, or even fed it to their dog.. lol b/c I'd be dead! It's not like I'm going to know.. I would want my body donated to some …

>What makes programmers busier than any other profession? The fact that many of them work 80 hour weeks?

Whats wrong with c/c++? Anything can be taught to anyone at the right pace.

you could boot up with a linux distro that allows you just to install grub i.e gentoo, debian, arch, slackware etc. Im to lazy right know to figure it out but you can reinstall grub with the grub shell.

I can access my website with my external static ip address. Anyone outside my wifi cant access my website. I assume this is a router problem? How do I allow other computers to allow access to my server?

35 First of all im not modest, im extremely arrogant. Im not exceptionally loyal to anyone except myself.

22 Personally I have no direct experience with unix, except of course mac os x (I guess its unix...), but I do have experience with both freeBSD and various linux distros. So I will respond to the best of my knowledge in accordance with my previous experiences with freeBSD and …

Any thoughts? Is Novell forgiven?

can you ping any websites? find your ip address, does it change? (I assume ipconfig \all shows your ip address? I currently don't have access to a windows machine) Is it possible that your firewall is blocking port 80?

[quote=jwenting] Strange isn't it how they on the one hand call Bush an idiot who doesn't know how to put on his underwear in the morning, yet at the same time they think he's some evil genius who's turned the US into some kind of dictatorial state without anyone noticing …

2 Sounds pretty cool! (the virus I mean)
