um why do people think that linux cannot look good? I mean, beryl is pretty sweet....

get arch linux and pull your hair out? (if your a n00b that is)

Are you really interested in linux? Im sure everyone here would be happy to help you....

They did that in the old days....

ok...I was just pointing out that n was assigned a value...

2) I'm (learning to be) a programmer and when I program something, it is usualy for the biggest group of people. Because most of them are using Windows, my program has to work in Windows...
If people change to a unix, then I'll change too...
I'm used to work in windows, I can now help almost everybody if they got problems, because they all use Windows...

First of all, like linux said, programming on linux is much easier than on windows. Second of all I have actually found more programmers that program on linux than windows.(and usaully they are a lot more helpful)

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;


int main()
{
    int n=0;
    if(n=5){};
    cout<<n<<"\n";
    return 0;
}

its output is 5.

haha.. I agree. Every vocabulary test I have ever taken, all I do is cram during passing period, and I get a 100%... this is probably why I did so crappy on the reading section of the SAT lol.. And again, mathematics is a perfect example.. can you really study for it? Well, I never have.. and I always did well (highest gpa in Calc 2: integration and differential calculus). So, certifications may not always prove someone's ability..

I can understand why some one would study for history or something like that, but how can you study for math? Maybe I am weird but generally I never remember any history or anything like that but perfectly remember math equations.

boring.....

dont make your explanation too complex, as i am only 19.

wtf? If you are19 and want to be treated like a six year old than maybe you need to rethink your decision on going to college.

um on my compiler it does...I am using g++.... What compiler are you using?

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

void printarray(int);

int main()
{
    int num;
    cout<<"enter a number\n";
    cin>>num;
    printarray(num);
    return 0;
}

void printarray(int n)
{
    int array[n][n];

    for(int x=0, i=1; x<n; x++, i++)
    {
        for(int y=0; y<n; y++)
        {
            array[x][y]=i;
        }
    }

    for(int y=0; y<n; y++)
    {
        for(int x=0; x<n; x++)
        {
            cout<<array[x][y];
        }
        cout<<"\n";
    }
}

That should work...

To pass a test, you must study. Goodness... I thought everyone knew that.

No not really..... I know lots of people who never study, myself included...

edit...

my grandmother has it, its really awful. I agree with josh, I would rather die than slowly decay...

I think MIT is part of the "extended" ivy league though...

Um.. I do not think so, I think it just assigns the value.

they are pretty much the same since the distros are alike. In fact, most arch users are dissidents from gentoo ;-)

Ubuntu also has the BEST user community support in the form of FORUMS,

I have actually found the arch and gentoo community the nicest and most knowledgeable.

so true...

Which programming language do you prefer then?

I like c++

any particular reason?

Can you not see that it's the greatest language of all? Java, of course!

I despise java. Its slow like molasses! (and its syntax is crappy)

Are you planning to get a phd?

so use aptitude instead!

why? I used to play speed chess regularly. In highschool I came second in the school tournament, loosing only the final in a 5 minute match when I made a stupid mistake under time pressure.

O...I was thinking more on the lines of thirty seconds per player.

go sell it...;-)

that wasn't in the man page!....Darn things....

no I was talking about aptitudes dep-clean feature. With aptitude lets say I install kde and then I want to unistall it, aptitude will remove all dependecies of kde as well. This allows for a clean system. Aptitude can be used as a command line app. Just aptitude install <whatever> and aptitude remove whatever In fact aptitude is superior to apt-get in every single conceivable way.

yeah when I used debian I just installed the base system and just installed every package I wanted.

I always do netinstall then apt-get every package i need and tweak them

Why not aptitude install?

lol, no truth is the only truth!

at lot less stressful.

You fools. If only you knew the world was created 30 seconds ago. And I have knowledge that this is true. Sure, you can't prove that the Universe existed more than 30 seconds ago. But I don't need proof. Instead, I have not-proof. Not-proof is good enough for me. I don't need those leftist intellectualists to tell me what to think. I believe in the new time religion; it's good enough for me. Than those so-called "intellectuals," I think I am smarter besides. So if anything, that makes them stupiddectuals.

And its the word stupiddectuals and your entire post that makes ME treat YOU like a retard.

I overclocked my video card 13% and did not notice a difference...

ubuntu is more n00bs.

I was never aware of exotic variants....

You don't need to, but it does increase system performance (well, depending on what percent you oc the cpu.. ~5-10% does nothing)

it increases performance by 5%-10% ;-)

I think arch>debian>ubuntu. Arch is the best!

speed chess seams impossible....

heres the real cycle:

1. repartition
2. reformat
3. install
4. make your system work
5. you have changed your system so much it now only half works
6. install again and again and again and again until your a pro at *nix

oh lol.

ubuntu cant though! ;-)

well than again so does linux if you have the ram.

lol...This guy my dad knows said that with 1 gb of ram vista swaps even with no apps running!

> My (balanced) views on operating systems
lol
I agree BSD is superior in almost everyway to linux except hardware support but I really do not feel like compiling my own software.

No I don't. Treat me as an intelligent being. (something that most humans are not)

>You wouldn't last ten seconds on a debate team.
That sounds like hypocrisy to me. You are the one refusing to debate any of my comments with lame statements like " I'm not willing to debate that with you." and " I can't properly respond to this without getting an infraction." I suspect it has more to with the fact that you cant find anything wrong with open source software than anything else.

>With windows if you want a library its 1) really hard to get 2) its really hard to make it work.

ok fine ill revise what I said and give a personal example.

windows experience:
When I was a windows user I was programming with dev-cpp. I was happy for a while but than I wanted to start graphical programming. So I found out there was a borland library called graphics.h that I could use to start graphical programming. So I followed the tutorial on how to use this library in dev-cpp. Needless to say, I could not make it work. I also tried to get SDL to work, but I could not.

linux experience:
I wanted to get into graphical programming on linux with SDL. So I just type in pacman -S SDL . Now I have SDL! Now I can program with SDL! No need to fiddle with anything!

Do you want to read the contents of the folder?

lol my system right now is using 1.8 gb...

So do you have a solution without using system calls?
