  1. Wow, very nice, I look forward to seeing what you can do with a tablet. Personally I can only pull off pretty basic art so when people show off things like this done on a computer it blows my mind. "effects" and other things you can learn in tutorials is one thing but at a certain point natural talent takes over. Awesome piece of work man.
  2. haha well thats an issue that you should look over in the programming forums for help with But to make a VERY big generalization/simplification of it, an easy way is to download and install a compiler and then use the command prompt to compile the files But yes, notepad++ would be great for a beginner as it would force you to learn how to compile and run software without just using a big "compile" button built into an IDE haha
  3. I've used that one as well I think I actually used it quite awhile but then eventually switched over to notepad++. There are really a lot of variants out there each with their own strengths and weaknesses so for anyone who does a large amount of code editing its worth looking around. Sure if your text editing is solely for big written documents word or open office is the key, but for coding? I love these little lightweight buggers
  4. I'll just throw this out there now as a heads up, if any of your posts are deleted by the staff, for whatever reason, you will lose the appropriate credit amount for that/those post(s). I'm not saying this because I've seen any of your posts be deleted, it just seems like people regularly ask the credit drop rate then notice a bigger then expected drop and get confused, so this would be why in the case that that occurs
  5. Depending on what you are talking about though, I know most websites you have to tab through a hell of alot of extra stuff just to cycle back around, whereas its not hard to move your thumb an inch since your hand is over at the tab region of the keyboard anyways
  6. Haha honestly I considered making a smartass remark about "well yea, thats why they put arrows going in BOTH directions on the key" but... it actually took me way longer into using computers then it should have to realize you can tab in both directions so... yea, good to let people know I guess since there are some of us that catch the little things slower then others
  7. I do remember notepad2 being even lighter then notepad++ but the reason you mentioned was my reason for switching, the tabs. I actually started out using notepad2 first when I wanted to see what was out there beside notepad for lighter code editing solutions. Unfortunately if I was going to get something with a bit more kick to it I wanted/NEEDED (ok need might be a bit strong) tabs... plus notepad++ seems to handle syntax highlighting for more languages more easily and I never work on one language for very long at a time so thats also a big perk for me.But yes I agree, notepad2 is a very strong choice as well if notepad++ just doesn't cut it for you.
  8. I personally use drupal. For me its got the best feature set with easy expandability and customizability without going and building my own as silverfox suggested (I have nowhere near enough time for that). Easy to theme, easy to add features too, it serves my needs very well.
  9. Very nice, I like seeing sites using ajax for useful stuff like that rather then simply using it to make a more attractive website I really really like the basic stretching of the page for more results concept, I always hated thumbing through pages of results.I too am like most here where if I have to go through more then 100 results, well, thats when I try searching again as obviously my first attempt fired too wide a range.Very interesting indeed, I'll toy with it a bit next time I have something worth searching hehe.
  10. So, while this isn't anything new to a large portion of you, last night I was helping a fellow board member out and introduced him to this gem of a program, notepad++ (free, btw). https://notepad-plus-plus.org/.Now if you have this program or have tried it the following will be pointless to read, but if you haven't you might find this very useful. Many of us, when coding anything from html or php to c++ or java, will eventually shy away from the bulky processor heavy IDE's in favor of more light weight solutions. I know when I'm not working on huge scale projects I prefer vi or notepad to eclipse or visual studio any day of the week. If you are like me then this program is for you. Basically notepad++ (as well as some other notepad replacements like notepad2) basically take the light weight, clean interface and basic capabilities of notepad or another very simple text editor and add in some of the shinier features of higher end text editing software such as tabs for multiple files, syntax highlighting, line numbers, some formatting options, etc. The syntax highlighting is one of my favorites as out of the box it can detect most common file types and highlight accordingly (all customizable) and there are plug-ins you can download to add more languages to it (or set up your own highlighting scheme if you feel so inclined). This allows a relatively powerful editing experience without bloated features, long program load times, resource hogging, etc. Notepad++ will NOT offer all the bells and whistles of a fully integrated IDE. It won't take on eclipse for managing and building java projects but for small file sets or web editing it's an amazing program. Basically it hit me that just because it's been around awhile and been mentioned in various topics here, with the new members daily and sheer number of people swimming in some code or another it might be useful to throw out a mention of this program once again. Notepad++ is always on my usb key and I use it all the time, hopefully this will let some of you stumble onto this little app too.
  11. First off, congrats on picking up the ubuntu live cd I'd actually reccomend installing it and dual booting, but thats just because I love ubuntu :)Alright, as far as windows files are concerned if you have your windows partition set up using an ntfs file system I imagine thats the cause (and thats the normal file system choice for windows nowadays). Ubuntu CAN see ntfs files by default (Laurence, if you read you shouldn't be able to it was wrong, or at least not talking about the last few versions of ubuntu). Ubuntu cannot however EDIT or SAVE to ntfs by default (unless that changed in Fiesty but I dont think it did). I'm pretty sure there is experiemental stuff to allow linux to write to ntfs but I'm not sure how reliable it is yet, I've heard mixed reports and haven't tried it myself.A good way to share files between the two is making a small fat32 partition. Both can read/write to it fine (windows and ubuntu I mean) and it wouldn't really affect your overall HD space for either. However if you are only livecd'ing maybe this is overkill.Its weird that you can see files but certain folders aren't showing up. Are you sure its not shortcuts? Those should still show up but meh, just an idea.I'd reccomend checking the ubuntu forums, they are obscenely helpful and the community is great. They've helped me on numerous ubuntu related curiosities in the past. good luck
  12. Thats the problem. A)People who will go to those lengths will go to them either way, illegal or notB)If it was legal, the cops could go after the people committing crimes for the drugs rather then worrying about the plethora of weed dealersC)they could focus on dealers dropping heavier drugs then something alot of middle schoolers use and still turn out fine
  13. I'm not saying you can't get addicted to marijuana, I'm saying it isn't physically addicting. People get a psychological addiction to the substance often but it's not because of the drug itself but the way they feel on the drug. Plus being able to become addicted to something isn't reason enough to ban it from public use in my opinion. As long as you warn people about it, I don't see a problem. My parents had the common sense to tell me cigarettes were bad and addicting and I haven't tried them as then I was scared and now I just dont want to risk it. Shockingly, like in many cases, we can actually be held responsible for our actions and the actions of our kids. I'm not trying to make light of people who become addicted to things but 99% of people know its a risk when they use various substances so don't act like they are totally innocent. Anyone who willfully uses a drug should be ready for any consequences of that action.So yes, while possible to become "addicted" to marijuana I don't think that matters. Legalize the ****.
  14. If I remember later when I get home I'll try to find my old chess game code. I actually had to make an online chess game for a university course a couple years back and I got it oooh, lets say 95% functional. As with yours, AI wasn't implemented (it was meant to be a two player implementation of the game) but otherwise mine had most functionality. En Passant I remember was the only thing that was a pain to implement because I forgot about it until the end and tried to implement it in probably the most stupid way possible, but the second way I did it was a piece of cake. Basically in the end I had a functional net based chess game that worked over tcp/ip. The main problems with it had to do with tracking captured pieces and displaying them as they were captured and scores and stuff like that, sort of the bells and whistles rather then the core game itself which basically worked fine.But yea, if I remember later I'll post my code and look at yours a bit, see if I can notice anything good to suggest. Obviously the things mentioned by the others are important to implement otherwise you just have a piece tracking system, not a chess game
  15. They don't host anything, it's like the P2P sites, they just let users submit links to those media sharing sites. And those sites basically leave the content up until they get requested to take it down. It's all a big game of cat and mouse where everyone claims to be innocent and ignorant and hopes that if someone gets taken down for the "crime" it wont be them.
  16. Chesso if everyone is using tainted weed why not legalize it so there can be regulations placed over the production/sale of it ensuring a certain purity level so that people are, in fact, smoking clean weed? Just food for thought
  17. A couple things I'll add, first of all the main reason I'm surprised it's illegal is that as you've said it's no worse then alcohol. Meaning they have a fairly easy way that they could create a new, highly lucrative TAXABLE market. It confuses me whenever the governments don't jump at a chance to make a little cash through new taxes haha.As far as the addiction aspect to it I mean, I'm not saying being addicted to it is fake, or anything of that nature. But it is not chemically addicting as far as I know, same with alcohol. It's like getting addicted to gambling or sex or any of the other addicting activities. If people don't have it to be addicted to they'll find something else (a lot of the time) as these people have addictive personalities. Again this is not to make light of the situation I'm just saying keeping this one substance off the streets (or trying to) doesn't seem like it'll change anything to me when there are so many other legal; and many other illegal addictive options. Not that people with these personality types would actively search for an addiction, just that people are likely to come upon one or the other eventually regardless.But yes, in the end I'd say I'm for the legalization of marijuana. Sure put some restrictions on it or whatever, but overall let er fly. I haven't tried it but honestly I want to but probably wouldn't excluding if it became legalized. moreso because I dont want to try badly enough to risk it haha. My home town was basically one big grow op so I'm surprised I haven't tried it at some point or another, but I digress.Legalize it. Tax it. Save money, make money, let police focus on bigger things, etc.
  18. I'm insanely excited. I wasn't one of the huge starcraft followers back in the day, but I did play it and enjoyed it immensely. Further few games have pulled to following starcraft has over the years so an extension of the series is a great prospect. Blizzard may not release a plethora of games but when they do they are always top notch so I'm psyched for that reason as well. It looks amazing and I don't have any doubts about it yet. Only thing that sucks is if I don't get a new system I haven't a hope of running it.
  19. I don't agree with that at all frankly. I mean yes one partner might do something that drives the other to cheat BUT relationships ALWAYS have hard aspects to them. If instead of communicating and dealing with a problem you just run to the bed of someone else it is that persons fault NOT the one who "caused the issue" that drove you to it. Fights happen in relationships, disagreements happen, its the way life works.Basically I think if you cheat on someone you shouldn't even be allowed to ask to get back together with them. The entire idea of cheating makes me sick, I mean, you can't love someone if you would do that to them regardless of why you convince yourself you did it. Break up with them first at least so that if they want to take you back, and least you were honest the entire time and not hiding what you were doing.So to summarize I don't think you can justify it, and claiming it's both peoples fault doesn't jive with me. One might react to the others actions but if partner A does something partner B dislikes, that doesn't justify partner B cheating.
  20. I've never been a Halo fanboy, I mean its a damn solid game but I've never been one of the people to play hours on end everyday for a month always MPing it up with friends or on live. That said I'm still excited for halo 3 since it IS a very important series in gaming right now so I hope it impresses. Currently what I've seen hasn't impressed me in any real way though, I mean, sure the graphics are bumped up going from xbox to xbox360 but I was expecting more honestly (no, I'm not a ps3 fanboy to stave that argument heh). I just think based on how big of a hitter this is they would already be showing off some graphical enhancements to blow our minds. Normally graphics aren't important to me at all past wow factor but Halo heavily promoted itself based on looks, so I'd expect no less from the third.I'm sure it'll be a great game but I'm still waiting to find reasons to be blown away by it, hopefully the beta will give some people enough insight to sway me haha.
  21. Wow that's pretty intense. Although it makes sense that if you're getting so little nutritional input and then you stop getting one of them that it would have drastic effects. Even with quitting you probably did get some good outcomes since you lasted for a few days. Good effort and congrats.
  22. I would have to agree with all of your praises for Nod32. For a long time I was an advocate of AVG but then it started seeming a little shoddy so I started looking for a more permanent solution. Now don't get me wrong AVG is amazing especially considering it's free, but it just was slow as hell over my multiple HD's and missed a few viruses due to its virus definitions not being updated super frequently. I user McAfee for awhile because I got a perpetual license through an employment opportunity I had but eventually I got fed up with the resource hogging and general annoyances of McAfee.Along came Nod32 and I must say...wow. I expected it to be light weight as its touted heavily amongst gamers but DAMN. Very little resources used and a quick and painless install and setup. Never seems obtrusive at all either. The virus definitions actually get updated 3+ times a day on average and it can on-demand scan all my drives in a fraction of the time it took mcafee and simply killed avg scanning time wise.All in all this program gets my vote even though its not free. That's literally my only negative about it, but you more then get your moneys worth.
  23. Just to let you know I find this insanely fascinating. I always hear about these intense sounding cleansing "diets" and it's cool to see someone scientifically breaking one down. I know a friend of mine has done it before but she didn't go with one that was quite this demanding nor did she track her progress very much. She just had the, normal as you mentioned, things like "oh I feel great now" but to me that might just be because after it you get to eat food again and I know after a week or so of lemonade food would be divine regardless B)So yea keep up the good work! I can't watch your videos currently as I'm at work so technically should "work" eventually and not watch youtube haha, but if I remember I'll check em out at home. Either way, cool stuff. Try not to die
  24. I feel I should clarify that I didn't mean to imply hazemmostafa or anyone else would necessarily be trying to hide porn, it was just the first thing that popped into my head haha.
  25. ethergeek... unless I'm mistaken the point of buying a wireless router is to be, you know, wireless B)Now to us it seems logical to have a router with a wired connection to a desktop system since it would be pointless to not have it wired if like, 2 feet from the router and it never moves. But picture an apartment with a couple people that are not overly into technology that buy a wireless router for their laptops. Why would they ever want to have to hard wire into the router? The whole point is to be free with their movements heh.I understand what you're saying, just seems impractical based on the angle that wireless routers are promoted.
