Well then you're a wuss. How about a firefox extension?

ChatZilla can be installed as a firefox extension and run in your browser.

Windows: X-Chat
Linux: X-Chat
Any: IRSSI

I did a :P as my post mood because I wasn't serious.

But I prefer to not use a big desktop manager like KDE or Gnome, and go for just using Openbox with Tint2 and Nitrogen.

I started with Fluxbox but I am a bit of an information whore and when it's harder to check something that I want (Like my wifi strength on the school's shitty wireless) than simply glancing, I get tired of minimal designs and want more.

Plus KDE4 can be extremely pretty if you put a little time into it, and that makes it easy to stop my friends from believing that linux is 10 years in the past and ugly as a derailed train smashing through an old folks home

I've been working on an IRC bot in Perl for months (Since January?)
I guess IRC bots don't really stack up against an operating system as a project, but oh well.

It needs some optimization still, but the featureset is pretty nice.
- Plenty of hard-coded commands directed at channel management, etc
- Command aliases (Multiple names for any command)
- Custom Commands (Build your own commands with custom args, using any of the hard coded commands)
-> Required arguments
-> Optional arguments
-> Defaults for unspecified optional args
- Last.FM nowplaying information
- Random FML grabber
- Stats tracking
- Custom timer system
- Points/Awards system
- Use of several variables ($noun, $adjective, $chan, $nick, etc) useable in all commands
- Dictionary system for items and for users
- 4 types of automated spam detection
- Two regex filter commands (Nick and Text filters)
- Regex supported for all appropriate commands (Kick, Ban, etc)
- Automated channel ban management (Set a default and maximum ban time for your channel, automatically expired by the bot)
- Everything is configurable on IRC by the channel owner, specific to that channel
- More :)

Same boat.

Apparently the guys at Staples are real assholes.

The advantage to putting magic numbers into variables is when someone else reads your code (Or you look at it again next year) there will be this nice variable definition at the top that can be commented to explain why it is the value that you chose.

Plus it's easier to change if you need to.

When it's code for myself and nobody else, anything goes.
When it's code that someone else is potentially going to see (Namely assignments...) then use variables for that stuff.

Close but...

A lot of people ask how to do a "press any key to continue" in C that doesn't involve the enter key.

This might be helpful for you somehow.

If you are on a POSIX system (Linux, BSD, etc), this removes the buffer from from getchar() entirely

#include <termios.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int getch( )
{
        struct termios oldt,
        newt;
        int ch;
        tcgetattr( STDIN_FILENO, &oldt );
        newt = oldt;
        newt.c_lflag &= ~( ICANON | ECHO );
        tcsetattr( STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &newt );
        ch = getchar();
        tcsetattr( STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &oldt );
        return ch;
}

int main()
{
        printf( "Press any key to continue...\n" );
        while( !getch() );
        return 0;
}

Quick. Someone give me the relevant code in their language of choice to print out the number from 1 to 10, inclusive.

For example, in Perl:

print for (1..10);

Now, in Functional Programming (FP) there is no such thing as a variable or a constant. [b]Everything[/b] is a function.
Here's how you print 1 through 10 in FP:

? print1to is (if = o [ id , {1} ] cons o [ {1} , {<>} ] rotl o cons o [ id , print1to o - o [ id , {1} ] ]).
Function print1to defined.

? print1to:10.
-> <1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10>

It's so simple! Why can't people figure it out!
AHHHHHISHIDHSSDSHDUSHD you're getting sig'd.

I'm surprised nobody has mentions this yet..
You can write the code anywhere you want, and as long as you don't do anything OS specific, you can move the code and it will work anywhere.

BUT

You can't compile it on Windows and then move it and expect it to run anywhere else.
You must move the source code (.cpp file(s)) and compile them on the OS you intend to use them on.

Clearly it depends on the size of your e-penis. Having a vagina is the other way to be an instant regular here.

With the specs you have, an old Sempron just doesn't cut it anymore. Not to mention it runs at 400 million degrees kelvin.

You could try spraying out all your fans and the heatsink on the CPU with a can of compressed air, and then leave the case open and point a nice big room fan in there to help keep it cool.

Another note on Windows XP is that it only reads up to about 2GB or RAM (maybe 3) accurately, and your mother board probably doesn't support much more than that anyways.

The best suggestion is just to build yourself a new computer. You can get a nice machine that'll run most modern games for $500 start to finish.

There is a reason Guitar Hero appears more popular than Rock Band / 2.
The answer is quite simply the approach each company takes.

Harmonix has gone the route of weekly DLC, every single week since RB1 was released and lately we've been getting as many as 10 to 13 songs per week. Everyone who is planning on buying Rock Band most likely already has it and a large chunk of them are updating it each week with new content.

Activision/Neversoft has gone the route of one new title per platform every 3 months.
The new "Guitar Hero 5" is actually the 13th release in the GH series, with GH: Van Halen to be the 14th.
You can't buy these things online, and each one comes with its own instruments, accessories, etc. It's no wonder you see more GH at stores and no wonder they move so much more through retailers.

The GH titles to date:
1. Guitar Hero 1 (Harmonix)
2. Guitar Hero 2 (Harmonix)
3. Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80's (Harmonix)
4. Guitar Hero 3 (Neversoft takes over from here on)
5. Guitar Hero: World Tour
6. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
7. Guitar Hero: Metallica
8. Guitar Hero: On Tour (NinDS)
9. Guitar Hero: On Tour 2 (or whatever it's called, NinDS)
10. Guitar Hero: Handheld (Stupid little handheld battery operated thing)
11. Guitar Hero: Arcade (The arcade version of GH3 that you see in malls and is never calibrated right)
12. Guitar Hero: Smash Hits
13. Guitar Hero 5
14. Guitar Hero: Van Halen

See what I mean?
For comparison, here is the rock band list of releases
1. Rock Band 1
2. Rock Band 2
3. Rock Band: Unplugged (PSP)
4. The Beatles: Rock Band
Unreleased: Lego Rock Band

GH3 and RB1 came out within a month of each other.
Think the series is sufficiently milked yet?

Ell. Oh. Ell.

Good ol' Evark

Unlocked a new costume slot, so back into the editor I go.

There is also a Full Size screenshot to go with this.

I just got the game a couple days ago, and I;ve already spent countless hours in the character creator. Great fun.

This is my first character, if you want to get a feeling for how tall/short she is, check out the Full Capture image. :)

Dream Theater alone was 5 hours when they were here. Still, doors open at 5:30 PM I left at 11:30. Good show :)

Last saturday I finally got to see Between the Buried and Me in concert :D

The lineup was
BTBAM - 30 minutes.. they only got to play three songs (All Bodies, Obfuscation, and White Walls)
Protest the Hero - 45 minutes
In Flames - 90 minutes
Killswitch Engage - 110 minutes

With the setup time and all it was a LONG show. I hope BTBAM comes back to Winnipeg and headlines next time, they are fucking amazing live
