lets say you have the opportunity to choose between two women (men if you're a chick):
...
which one would you choose?

Why would I have to choose? What's the scenario?

Until a scientist proves that life can be derived from sterile [insert element(s) here], a higher power is the only explanation. Of course after the jump start of life, evolution would have had to take over.

But what would this "higher power" be made of and how did it come to be without another "high power"?

My answer is Yes. You have to use Microsoft Visual C++ and MFC class library. For further information, read MFC Internet Programming at http://msdn.microsoft.com/

You don't have to use MFC or VC++. There's loads of other options out there.

If you need something faster, wrap your own crude i/o tools. I'm sure you could get them faster than most provided ones, but not as reliable.

I'm not sure, but instead of using cout, try placing it directly in the video memory(0x40000000). printf is more time efficient than cout, because in cout the datatype is not mentioned

Never heard of that address. Usual most people use (0xb800 << (MACHINE_ADDRESS_RANGE-16))

0 is the same as '\0' -- use which ever one you want. I just find 0 easier to type :)

Except that the compiler sometimes will bitchslap me, with errors or warnings, if I use zero instead of a '\0'.

Well not with pointers, but with other things that out of habit I use a plain zero on, instead of what it's supposedly expecting.

9:22, Personal note: When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so once when I was six, I did. At first the brightness was overwhelming, but I had seen that before. I kept looking, forcing myself not to blink, and then the brightness began to dissolve. My pupils shrunk to pinholes and everything came into focus and for a moment I understood... That someone's been watching to much television!

On Windows you have to learn the PE file format, on *nix the ELF format.

Yes it is possible. Best way is to isolate the particular code into its own section, with plenty if padding space to insert code without realigning everything.

We need a quarterly/bi-annual/annual coding challenge[s] here.

There would be a suggestion box sort of thing, where challenge ideals can be submitted.
Once a challenge is selected, permitted languages will be attributed along with minimum requirements.
Then people can submit and vote; subsequently the top voted will be placed on the "top submissions" page.

Editing to the procedure is obviously needed. What do you think?

Now that's a LOT of code to maintain, and an ever diminishing pool of people to work on it because they're all starting to retire about now.

setprecision() is for setting the decimal output of a stream.

If your grid is just characters, you should just use chars, then:

If you have the file already opened, and your pointer allocated, then just use fstream.read().

You could hard code int main(){} as char main[] { /*opcodes*/ } (with extern "C" in VC++).
So technically it would then be main[] not main() anymore.

Every stupid child now creates trojan viruses with Visual Basic, even if the virus needs the 100-Mb Framework, known as .NET, and furthermore, they don't want to give up that framework and learn a real programming language (not Visual Basic).

Wow, I feel old all of sudden. I remember virii under a few Kb...

1) Visual Basic IS REALLY stupid
3) I will now start learning Java

Java is stupid. Learn the ways of pure machine code and you'll never have to worry about seeing such a thing as a 100Mb application. As there'll always be a struggle with a couple misbehaving bytes.

One, site rule, use CODE TAGS.
Two, I'm sure it won't compiler with non-existent <cstd1ib>.
Three, don't use exit(). You're in main() so why not just return(1)?

That's just all I saw while scrolling down the page. Use the code tags, and then people may be more compliant to help you.

It's generally easier to use the inline assembler, unless you're in VC++(GCC's is far superior).
