Good god, man, why?!?! :eek:

Or allow people to use OpenGL, DirectX or another library for writing to the screen, but don't allow them to use the 3d portions of the libraries, represent a 3d object in a 2d drawing window. The other parts can be hard/complex (though certainly acheivable, IMO, it's really just high school...

If I were him, I think I'd be more pissed at Gary Gygax appearing on Futurama, and realizing that I could have been there instead.

Yea, I think you'd better wait until you run it. I don't have a problem with prizes, but since I'm still unemployed for another month(the reason for my ample free time :rolleyes: ), I don't have the money to buy one myself, and I don't feel comfortable saying that you should buy something for...

This can be almost always be easily solved by properly structuring you code. The file doesn't close when the program ends, it closes when the destructor for the stream is called. He's not suggesting that you keep every file you open open for the entire run of the program, but that you don't...

Ok, I suck at coming up with problems, so if anyone wants to suggest one, go ahead.

use code tags. [ code ] and [ /code ] around your source to preserve indenting. You have 12 begins, and 11 ends. find where you have an end missing, or an extra begin, and fix it.

I'm willing to install stuff, I just don't want to search for it. Provide DL links for compilers/interpreters, and I'll accept anything. edit: The reason I don't want to search for it isn't that I'm lazy, I just don't want to run into confusion about using a different version of a...

ok, pending carl posting a challenge (I suck at coming up with them, finding them, etc.), here are my submission rules: - If you want to make things easy for me, restrict yourselves to Perl, Python 2.3, C, and C++. I won't complain if you don't though. I currently have activestate Perl 5.8...

I could run one, I've got a month before my flight services specialist course starts, but after that I may drop out of sight for a while, due to school and possibly not having an internet connection (oh noes!). If someone's got a challenge, and it'll take under a month, post it and I'll post...

Unfortunately, those features are also abused all to hell when people don't bother to learn how to use them appropriately. This is true of nearly any language, of course.

Most of the performance comparisons I've seen fo C, C++, Java(yea, yea, mlar... :) ), and other languages have concentrated on execution speed. Any idea, other than what the VM adds in bytecode languages, how the memory efficiency of common languages/programming paradigms match up? I'd guess...

Yea... been a while since I had to use it regularly.

basically, s<character>search regex<same character>replacement string<same character> for search and replace. I'm not testing this, so it may or may not work, but it'll be closer than your attempt. "s+<string>\/System\/Library\/CoreServices\/Menu\/Extras\/iChat\.menu<\/string>++" Try...

who else has actually seen a variable named "fred" in production code? Bwahahaha That's almost as good as mlar.net.
