Thanks ameoba. I found the problem. The code I was using had X <= Y in it rather than X =< Y, but when I typed the code out on this forum in my last post I had accidentally wrote it correctly!

I'm a Prolog beginner and I'm trying to write a simple prolog rule that gives that takes three numbers X, Y, and Z and gives max{X,Y,Z}. Here's some C code to show you what I'm trying to accomplish: int max(int x, int y) { return x > y ? x : y; } int max(int x, int y, int z) { return...

Yeah but I'm thinking that supporting USB HD/flashdrive connections may lead to a ton of easy piracy. Say someone plugs in their USB thumbdrive into their Revolution. Now they download an old game to that thumbdrive through Revolution's virtual console service. Now they unplug their thumbdrive...

I use Windows, but I wasn't planning on writing a Windows program. I just wanted to use standard C++ for everything so the program could run on whatever platform it's compiled on. I've decided to go with your strategy and get the basic requirement done first and do all this password stuff...

Thanks for the help. My program won't be on a server, it's just going to be a regular program run on one machine. What I was planning on writing was a library system. There would be a record (a text file I guess) of all the books in the library with information such as quantity, the title and...

Does anyone here know how most programs out there manage non-hardcoded passwords? This is something I've been thinking about a lot recently but can't figure out. By non-hardcoded I mean that the program doesn't employ a strategy like this (pseudocode): get_user_input(pwd) if pwd != "blahblah"...

mikeblas I've been reading your posts on this topic and your idea is interesting and I think it sounds like fun. But is there anything to gain from buying such a kit and writing software for it over just downloading say PCSPIM and running MIPS assembly programs on it?

Well I was looking around some more and I just saw something that I think could be the problem. I just noticed that all the other MinGW libraries I've found (including those in the MinGW SDL dev pack) have a .a extension, but my Boost libraries all have .lib extensions. Does this mean that my...

Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble getting Boost to work. I'm on Windows XP and use MinGW 3.4.2 installed in C:\MinGW. I'm very new to using 3rd-party libraries so I think I did something wrong in the installation. Here is how I installed Boost, please see if you can find what I did wrong...

This game is freaking crazy!! My best was 11905 with 64 saves. I try not to save them. :cool:

Whoa awesome job! I don't really know what tantalum is or how to read your diagrams but they look cool. :D

A UT2004 specialist. That's such an awesome title. :D It would have been more interesting if they played a game other than UT2004 after Fatal1ty was beaten to see what would happen (I guess Fatal1ty would've won).

If it really is the Spiderman font then I wouldn't be surprised. Sony seems to really like that movie. :D That's what they showed running on the PSP at last year's E3 and they (kind of) showed it on the PS3 this year. Oh yeah and they released it with the PSP which is how I got to see the movie.

All the next-gen consoles look really good but in terms of being "sexy" I've gotta vote for the Revolution. I bet it'll look even better when it's released too since they say they'll be shrinking it down even further. I'm gonna miss the Gamecube's handle *sniff*.

Whoa that's a really good point. I've been defending Nintendo for years but I never thought of it that way. :D

This game is going to be awesome for the PC. The PC version of Vice City was a lot better than the PS2 version. The cheats make more sense on the PC version, objects are clearer, and most importantly, SHORTER LOAD TIMES!! The only problem I had with the PC version of Vice City was flying that...

Would you consider censoring BMX XXX a slap in the face too? The thing with Nintendo is that they try and make games that appeal to everyone, and they've always been successful. Anyone from any age group can play and love games like Mario and Zelda.

I don't want to get everyone's hopes up, but take a look at what I found on the Gamespot forums. Aries posted something again: I'm not going to let myself believe it, but I thought it was interesting enough to show to all of you anyway. I can't prove it's the real Aries but judging by his...

So there was no big surprise after all... :( ...I'm so disappointed... I really, really wanted the rumors to be true. Damn...

Yeah same here, every forum I go to is focused on this event. This has got to be the most exciting E3 I've ever seen. It's 2:54am right now and I can't go to sleep, I just keep lurking around different forums reading up on all the updates. :eek:

I don't know if anyone posted this yet, but Gamespot has an article on this: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/15/news_6124668.html Edit: IGN has something on it too: http://cube.ign.com/articles/613/613578p1.html?fromint=1

If you're just talking about looks then yeah! My (evil) step-mom hates seeing video game consoles out in the open (i.e. >= 2cm away from the TV), and since this has wireless controllers and looks like a super fancy DVD player I think she'd be more forgiving when seeing it on the carpet.

Microsoft has an entry for this issue on their site: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/mediaadvice/0047.aspx#474 Then this place looks like it has some good advice: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Applications/MultiMedia_Applications/Q_21270390.html If that...

I think #2 is definitely the best.

Age: 18 Sex: male Gaming consoles/devices you own: PC, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, Neo Geo Pocket Color, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, and my brother owns the DS and PSP. I had an NES but I lost it... Hopefully someday I can buy a...

I had no idea! This is going to be very useful to me. :D

If you want it to load up faster then just do this: Use Acrobat 5 rather than 6.Download Adobe SpeedUp. It really works.

That's kind of funny because on my computer Visual Studio .NET 2003 Pro takes about five seconds to start up whereas Photoshop takes around fifteen.

VLC Media Player is really great. Anytime my media players can't play a video, or can but don't play the sound (or have some other problem), I just open it up in VLC Media Player and it always works.

Heheheh I know some people like that. I remember one time I was sitting in the computer lab at my school and this guy sitting next to me got a pop-up that said "You've won free Starbucks coffee for a year!" He turned over to his friend and he was like "Yo man did you see this shit?! Oh man hell...

Shit, shit, shit! Proofs and I don't mix well unfortunately. A couple of sections back, my calculus book asked to prove that sqrt(1+x) < 1 + 0.5x for all x > 0, and I just couldn't do it... I don't know where to begin, or where to go once I begin. I could do the other problems but that one just...

Hahahahahaha!!! I love "can i do print_vector(int i)" and "its like german" and "should i delete b4 print" lol! Then he does os.size() I mean wtf?! Man that was too funny. :D

LOL! I've gotta find a situation to use that one. :D

My first CS professor said that there's a lot of schools switching over to Java because it's "advantageous for us to learn programming concepts without having to deal with problems such as memory leaks." I just found out the data structures class I'll be taking in the future won't be taught...

Your first CS course may be a bit too easy and sometimes a little dull if you learn the langauge you'll be using ahead of time, but then again you won't have to work as hard and you'll have more time for your other classes which can be helpful. But above all I'd say learn the language you think...

Regarding the thumb stick scratching the screen, the answer is yes, it does, but you have to be a little rough with it. I'm not at all looking for a reason to put down the DS; I'm actually a life-long fanatical Nintendo devotee who's purchased every system they've released since I was...

Oh cool I didn't know you could put hex values in the color tags. And incase anyone ever decides to try making spoiler tags for the forum, I suggest having a look at AnimeSuki's forum and finding a post with their spoiler tags, they're really great.

lol when did 50 cent learn kung fu.
