Write a simple chat program. It can either be p2p or server based chat. Also, have features like "Log chat to file" and be able to possibly send files.

It's the same thing, just depends on how you write it. This write decided to save computations into a value and display the value. In your code, you just directly displayed the final computation of the equation and didn't save it to a variable. So to say that it is much easier is pretty much useless, because it achieved the specified task in a different way.

Wow, was that all in one file? Cause I got over 180 errors at one time... And it all was caused by a missing paran!
Ah programming rocks. :)

It was in about 3-4 c++ files, and I forgot paranthesis, semicolons; pretty much everything. All of this in like 20 lines of code!

when you get an error that says this
"c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\dbsets.h(90) : fatal error C1003: error count exceeds 100; stopping compilation"

I was seeing if there was a limit to the number of errors a compilation could have with some extremely bugged up code

Different subnet masks maybe? ...here's an easy configuration for you in the TCP/IP settings...

Computer 1
IP Address-- 192.168.0.9
Subnet-- 255.255.255.248

Computer 2
IP Address-- 192.168.0.17
Subnet-- 255.255.255.248

That will cause them to stop communicating if they are directly connected because they are in different subnets... not sure if it'd matter if your computers are hooked up to a router though. So if that doesn't work, disable lan communication to a certain computer if your router allows it...

Ok, primarily it'd be in C++. If additional speed is needed, then assembler would be used on a limited amount of critical functions. As well as that, most likely I'd either use DirectX or use the limited Windows GDI. Since it is going to be in 2d, the 3dimensional aspect of DirectX will not be needed. Since DirectX 8 they withdrew DirectDraw, it might MIGHT be simpler to use the Windows GDI for a simple 2d game.

As for the actual game itself, it's all up in the air. It doesn't matter what type of game it is as long as I can actually get it working.

I'm wondering, does anyone want to join me in a project to make a game? This will be an application and not a flash. Basically what I'm thinking of is a 2d scroller type of game, something that wouldn't be too ridiculously hard. Any takers?

Well, you can basically put a table at the bottom of the page that has a different background color....

For one thing, storage space on a hard drive is measured in Gigabytes, not gigahertz. Another thing, C++ is not a scripting language. Thirdly, can you tell me the requirements for a 3D Graphics Engine. What's a z-buffer? How do you rotate an object using matrices? What is ragdoll physics?

I just don't think you have the knowledge to fully endeavour on this project, sorry man.

There's many things it could be

It illustrates the fluctuation of national debt. ..

I'd like to help you make a game. I'd say that I'm at the level between a beginner programmer and an intermediate programmer, with a very limited amount of programming in DirectX and stuff. BUT, if your still interested in collaborating on a game, just email me at butterballlz@gmail.com

Idea, how about you have the random number be a char value so that you don't have that problem?

char magic = (char) (rand(10)+48);

That should be the code to do that....(but I'm not 100% sure if that's legal C++)

Anyways, because a computer can't do random things and everything is scripted, the rand() function does the same pattern everytime, here's a linky...

chuckfucter, we're talking about unsigned number. We care little about signed right now just to keep things uncomplicated.

Well, $100 is a little too much for me. What I can do though is I can make my a C++ tutorial and I would allow it to be on your site.... if you want....

That said not to the levels Bush has done so.

The philosophy of that is that after the recession, you will cut back on expenditure. Saying that the current revenue is vastly outmasked by the expenditures, the amount to be cut back in order to return to a positive cash flow would not be prudent with the federal agencies today.

Google better.... this was on the second page of my search.

Man, freshen up on your reading comprehension skills.

There are three ways to solve an unemployment problem, but first we have to look at why people are unemployed, causing them to have low standards of living. They also live well below the poverty level.

The first way that a person can be unemployed is that there is simply not enough jobs in the marketplace. The second way that a person can be unemployed is that they are not productive enough(mentally retarded, physically deformed, too old, et cetera). The last way a person can be unwillingly unemployed is that they lack the education for the jobs available in the market.

So how can we possibly get everyone unemployed or to have them live above the poverty level?

One way is that we can simply give them houses, cash, and various other necessities and hope that they can get on their feet and find a job. This way is not a prudent way to solving the problem of poverty and unemployment. What incentive do these people have to get back into the workforce? They end up a drain on society's resources.

Another way is to get the unemployed people educated. Make them perform tasks that there is currently a demand for. This situation is a little bit better then just handing over cash.

I am for welfare, but I am more for educating the people to put them back into the workplace rather then to give out money. This would costs less in the long run and provide a more productive economy because everyone would have the potential to find a good job.

because eventually there would be extremists.

In our history, everytime the idea of communism came up, everyone cringed. It occurred after World War I during the Bolshevik Rebellion. It happened again after World War II with the Cold War. There is no possibility that the country could enter a communistic state unless the current government somehow becomes deeply flawed and corrupted. The mentality of the American people would not allow it, both Republicans and Democrats. As for the extremists part, there are always extremists in a party. Kennedy is one for the Democratic party, and I'm sure someone could pick one for the Republican party

People didn't elect bush because they're morons they elected him because he's a republican and republicans are for your money staying on you.

Tax cuts, k, no argument if you're rich. $90,000 limit to the taxable income for social security anyone?

Anarchists are a strong right wing party.

Anarchists are the complete opposite of authority, so they're naturally on the left. In my opinion, they shouldn't be on the political spectrum because anarchism isn't a type of government, it's an absence of government.

I have started to think of all of the possible parallels between the two majority parties in the US, the Republicans and the Democrats. The more I endeavored into this problem, the more I realized how hypocritical each party is. I primarily thought about how each party views freedoms and what each party usually stands for.

Republicans typically stand for less government in our society. If one party would be for tax cuts, this would be it. This was evident in President Bush's solution to the budget surplus in his first term, he gave a tax cut to everyone instead of investing into social works projects. Typically these tax cuts that are given follow the Reganomics model, or Trickle-Down Economics Theory, which is often criticized by Democrats(but that is another issue altogether). The belief that the government should be as little as possible is evident in the Republican's policy on the economy, but how about the typical lives of Americans? The basic ideology to stay minimalistic as possible hits the door when it comes to our private lives for Republicans. Enforcement of morals when it is not a tort to society is infringement on our personal rights. So how has Republicans done this(don't worry I'll get to the Democrats in a little bit)? Trying to enforce pro-life legislation. As well as that, they are the primariy people that are trying to keep religious doctrines in public places.

Are they pushing the their morality down other people's throats? I think that's a good possibility. People in this world believe a variety of ideas. Some people might not think that stoning is a proper punishment, but in Iran it occurs. So why exactly does this occur in Iran? It is a pre-Islamic idea of punishment against crimes of morality. Obviously the right believes that they have the power to enforce morality on the population. Please though don't take what I said out of context too much, Islam is 10 folds more to the right then what most people consider what an extreme conservative is. Those are definetely vague and broad generalizations, but from what I have seen in the political world, it holds true most of the time for Republicans, or at least for the ideas of the Republican Party. If need be, I can go on about Republicans and their push for morality.

It's hypocritical in one hand to have a minimalistical view on government, but at the same time enforce one's own view of what morality is on the government. How can one person be a minimalist and try to pass legislation regarding the lives of individuals and not problems of society? Trying to enforce one's own views on another. Am I against morality? Of course not. Am I against morality enforced by the government? Shouldn't everyone?

=================================================

Now the Democratic party is also hypocritical on the same issues. They are instead of being minimalist, they try to do everything for the American people. All of the social works legislation that has passed in the past several decades have been very liberal legislation. The New Deal was liberal for it's time, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and now an idea that has just now recently been put on the backburner of the Democratic party, the national healthcare system. Obviously all of these policies require money, and the Federal Government gets money in several ways. Through tariffs, taxes, corporate taxes, and bonds.

Now the Democratic party is for less government in the home on the basis of morals(abortion, gay marriage, et cetera, et cetera), but at the same time is asking for more and more government economically. This is another hypocritical standpoint; It's the complete opposite of the beliefs of the majority of Republicans.

So that's the parallel, but parties are hypocritical in the view on what they see as whether or not there should be more or less government. Neither party satisfies either fancies.

Try this, it might help you out some more. I know you said you already messed around with the software, but you can never be too safe.

I have three Windows XP's (2 Pro, 1 Media Edition), connected wirelessly via a Belkin 802.11g router (with 128-bit WEP security). Each of them has an IP assigned by the router's DCHP, and a unique name (but I'll use numbers for ease).

Computer 1 can connect to Computer 2, and Computer 3 can connect to Computer 2 too, but Computer 2 can't connect to either.

So my question is: What's going wrong and how can I fix it?

I'm wondering, is Computer 2 the Media Edition computer? If so, you most likely only need to change some firewall settings on all 3 computers to allow file and printer sharing. I'm to lazy to look it up right now, but at least that will hopefully guide you.

add a { after the do command and a } before the while command. That might be your problem.

basic template

do
{
// Add commands here
// Yep...
} while ( statement );

What's the firmware version on your DLink? I'm looking up and early revisions of the firmware resetted under a lot of wireless strain/interference. It seems that later versions of the firmware for this router doesn't have as much problems with resetting when there's a lot of interference. Here's a link.... Link

The problem could be that your router is resetting because it is receiving malformed packets. This could be from any type of interference in the 2.4 Ghz spectrum, including microwaves and cordless phones. Way to overcome this? Get rid of the cordless phones or use a Cat5 wire instead of being wireless.

I was looking at the shot.cpp file, all of the other cpp files have it.... my bad
