I would not pay for google, as much as i love the company, I would have to switch to a different company if they started charging; however, I don't think i'll have to worry because they will most likely not start charging as they get enough money from their ads.

I think its fun, my favorite part being able to use the physics gun to pick up objects and shoot them at other people (bigger objects in custom maps), the biggest problem I see in it though is that it runs from steam, and like all steam games, run very slow on my computer, I can barely play it and haven't played it in awhile; however, in a year i'll have a new laptop so I can play!

I'll try to answer your numbered questions. As for explaining the whole program, i'm a little tired to do that (sorry). 1. A string is basically a char *, except that to you manipulate strings differently (I personally prefer char). Strings will work just as well as char, you just have to manipulate them differently. 2. A switch statement is basically an if statement, an example follows: switch(variable){case 1://do somethingbreak;case 2://do something elsebreak;}This is the same as the following code. if(variable == 1)//do somethingif(variable == 2)//do somethingcase functions are good if you have a variable that can be of many values that you want to check for, so instead of having 500 if statements, you have one switch statement and 500 cases. 3.the "intro:" is used for a goto statement, instead of using a while loop they create an artificial loop by calling "goto inro;" to go to the begining. 4. The return statement basically returns a value, it is mainly used for debugging, I didn't see the line returning -1, but I would guess it means an error occured (for this particular program, you may have different values in your own). 5. ofstream is a class to specify a file pointer. It is used to create a file pointer so you may output data to a file, ifstream is for reading and fstream is for both. I hope this helps you understand this code.

Wow, moment i opened the page it caught my attention. I see it as a very well built site. The only problem I see is in the lower right of the main page, there are several "banner" blocks. But other than that, the site looks very good and professional.

Well, the way i think when I write a program to figure out the steps is to figure out how the program should look like on the client side. Start with what the program should do when it is first opened. It should ask the client what to do, right? Well, now that you know what the program should do, you think of how to make the program do it. So you make the program start by prompting the user to ask them what to do. After that, you would execute a function that does what the user wants, right? So, you code the function that would do what it is needed. Since the program would probably have to loop, you do the loop around what you need.Basically, just think about how the program should run, then think how to make the program run how it should. Hope this helps .P.S. Though spelling isn't a big deal in these forums, exesive mispelling makes it hard to read your posts, please type slower or more carefully

I'm not sure, but i think all they reall do is have to take the pigeon to the place they want to send it for awhile, then when the owner goes home with the pigeon they can attach the letter and send the pigeon out and the pigeon can go back and forth; however, i am not positive and have not done any research on it.Another possibility is that pigeons are just another bird wizards use to send messages (i'm just kidding)

well, if we just gave you the source code that would be cheating wouldn't it? I think a better way to be asking us for help on your university assignment would be to write up some code and ask us for any suggestions on some problems you may have. As for the structure of the program, i can't really help you, especially right now (it's 5:30 AM and i'm not a morning person), I've never taken a class so i've never learned to document my work; therefore, i never do . Anyways, write up some stuff for your assignmen and post it here, i'd be glad to help you in the actual programming of it, i've been doing C++ for 5 years now.

I've heard of a program called psx, it's supposed to be an emulator for ps2 games; however, I have neither researched it nor used it and i have heard that it is very slow and almost unplayable. There may be other things out there, so I would google it, hope i pointed you in the right direction.

i'm not sure what your asking for. If your asking for another program to look at the world, then yes, there is the microsoft version, but I forget what the name is. If your asking for a program that can give you directions, there's tons of them. There are gps programs, microsoft again has their own version, and there is also google maps. Just a reminder, if your asking a question here, you should be as specific as possible, not only does it help us help you, but you get more credits .

It is a good idea, but unfortunatly, like jlhaslip said, it has been done. Sounds like a modified wiki; however, if you do manage to get alot of content on it, then you could possibly start getting bigger since people would prefer to write content for a website that pays them, but I would make the pay optional so they didn't have to give you sensitive information just to write content, it could deter people. Good luck.

I like the idea, but I don't think it would happen because then just about everyone would put it up on their site and they wouldn't post againg (at least those with alot of traffic). As for bigger payoff per hit, I think 0.01 is good, if you get 0.1 then you only need 10 hits for one days worth of hosting, I think 0.001 might even work though because then you would need 1000 hits for one day of posting. You don't want the payoff to be too big or they would make too many credits, the smaller the better I think, but I would definitly use it (soon as i figure out what to do for my site).Good idea though, thanks for bringing it up, maybe someone will look at it and think about implementing it.

That sounds like a good program, thanks for bringing it up; however, seeing as I have not thought of what my website is going to be, i can't really use it . Thanks for the information anyways though!

It would be helpful if you provided a link and sume information on the gameplay or the game itself rather than just a name that we have to go google. The website I found wasn't very friendly so I have no opinion on it since I can't find anything on it.

I don't think the internet can crash due to overuse. If the people used too much bandwidth then it would just get slow because the servers can't push that much information out or that much info can't get through the cables at once. like osknockout said, it would have to be a monster virus or something to take down the internet; however, overload could take down internet in a general area if the copper wires were overheated, but that's only on cable internet, you can't do that with wireless internet (ISPs usually use fiber optic, but home users usually use copper).

lol, if i got that phone as a present i would instantly sell it and buy a monster gaming computer, lol. Your dad is lucky.

I'm glad everyone is alright. Usually, a collision like that is fatal, you guys are all really lucky. And definitly seatbelts are lifesavers and i wear mine even if i'm driving a down the block. Also, a seatbelt combined with an airbag is what makes the airbag a safety mechanism rather than a death trap. If you have no seatbelt with an airbag, the airbag will snap your neck because you go down too fast.

Well virtual private networks would not help if you were planning to connect to a public server (i.e. one that you don't know the mod of); however, if you plan to play with friends online, it is exelent. Virtual private networks create a network that your friends can join and makes it a thousand times easier to play games together. Hamachi is a great one. I hope this helps

Aloha, and welcome to Xisto. I just went to hawaii last week (Maui). Anyways, as for your question with leaving for two weeks. I don't think it will be a problem as long as you have the credits; however, I'm sure a moderator will come and give you a final answer. Everyone here is very nice and the moderators will understand you leaving for two weeks, just make sure you have the credits .

As more and more spammers get caught i'm sure the spammers/hackers will find more and more ways to go undetected. Always seems to go that way. When there's a security fix, there's a new way around it. (in the case of microsoft, about 10 new ways around it)

The graphics are almost completely unimportant, what matters is the gameplay. You may have a game that may look completely realistic, but it's no good and a waste of money if your done playing it in 5 minutes. The thing you should look at when choosing a system is the gameplay. In gameplay the Wii surpasses any other system on the market (except the pc, at least until online wii games come out). The wii is alway replayable (well most games) and the control system is unsurpassed putting you inside the game. Now, halo 3 looks awesome and halo 2 was cool, but i've had a wii for about 6 months and I still play wii sports with my friends. Other systems tend to make you want to play along; however, with the wii, you want to play with friends and share creating a more family friendly and fun environment while playing.So, my vote is 100% for the wii.

That looks like fun. I would think about buying it, but my computer is nowhere near those specs, and until I can sell the computer I just built for $150 I won't have a computer to run it on. Looks interesting though. I'll make sure to keep it in mind when I get a new computer.

Evan almighty looks good, but I don't know if it will be as good as Bruce almighty. I will still go see it though, i'm sure it will still be hilarious.

Paypal is very secure for businesses. I haven't ever made a business paypal account, but I know if you do have one it gives you a specific link for each product you have. You put the link in your pages and stuff and when the user clicks on it, they are taken to paypal so they can securely pay for the product they just bought. When they have payed paypal will give you notification (not sure how, like I said, never had one) then you fulfill your end of the deal. So if anyone should be worried about being stolen from it is the buyer, not the seller; though, paypal offers a very nice theft protection service for free for anything under $2000 USD. Hope this helps

I would have to suggest the Wii. The xbox and ps3 are too sit-still for me. The wii gives you excersize and motion. The controls are also a lot more fun then pressing a bunch of buttons repeatedly, instead you can actually swing your sword and stuff. Sure, the graphics may be of low quality, but its not 1980 graphics, they are plenty, you don't need high graphics to have fun. It is also a party system. I don't like the other systems because you just want to play by yourself and beat the game; however, the wii is even more fun when your playing with other people in the same room. If you really don't want the wii though, I would get the xbox (even though I don't like microsoft). It has some pretty good games. I would probably get one too for halo 3, but i'm broke .

Windows movie maker would work for cutting out the begining. You split the clip where you want it then just delete the first one. As for subtitles, I'm not sure, Windows movie maker might do that too, but I can't check right now.
