Well I just started eating dinner and thought this would be a neat topic. Everyone knows we love to eat while on the computer; two birds, one chair. I'll start it off: Deli Sandwiches, macaroni salad, potato salad and a Pepsi :)

Hi all, I've started to dive into OpenGL w/C++ to expand my library knowledge but I had a few questions. I've been following a tutorial online that basically walks step by step through the compiler linking, functions, and basics of an OpenGL program. I really would love to create some …

I think I finally understand why Trump is doing so well (he recently pulled even with Hillary Clinton). It's only after years of shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent that his rise is possible. These shows got Americans used to the idea that they could vote with no …

As many of you know, DaniWeb was hit by a Google algorithm update back in November 2012 and we lost about 50% of our search traffic. In investigating the issue, I discovered that DaniWeb, in addition to most other programming forums out there, all lost their google traffic to [StackOverflow](http://www.stackoverflow.com). …

Hello DaniWeb members, I know I'm not the only one who has tried to talk with non-hackers and used the term 'Crackers', to their total confusion. The problem is that the media has always refered to the Black Hat Hackers as just 'hackers', and that has given the **REAL** (White …

Hey everybody, I was just wondering, how do you create Lens Distortion in OpenGL? As in, the rendered image looks bloated or sucked in when you implement it. I would typically want it in a simple format that works nicely and doesn't eat up too much CPU. As an extra, …
