...i tend to think of it like this... you have your supermarkets(microsoft and apple) and you have your cornershops(*nix bsd etc).... in your supermarkets you got a vast array of choice and options like ten different kinds of apples is similar to how many html editors they are, dealt to the masses, then you got your corner shop with the dedicated items that your shop knows you need people can get just what they need without coming out of the shope with a whole load of stuff they didnt go in there for (like i tunes & WMP etc) if you know what you want a corner shop is the easiest and quickest way to do it without the bombardment of choice. then again a supermarkets helped to make this world fat and lazy, could this be relaed to the way operating sysems make you act.....?

haha yes just goes to show how simple setting things up on linux can be! especialy compared with windows, and yeah for a windows approach i'd recommend the xampp approach! its a great compilation and has worked out of the box everytime for my windows machines, its not that i cant or havent installed a server from scratch its just that its so much easier! and who isnt for an easier life eh?!?!

oooh looks like i can be in with a chance here! lol#1: alex?#2: Xisto?#5: divx?#6: 12?#7: value?#9: 40 bilion plus?#12: static void?#16: the internet?#17: true?#19: intVar = atoi(strVar.c_str());#20: image#21: bus?#22: yes!#23: true/false depends how long you think about it for!#26: configure x?#27: true?#29: dvi? or hdmi#30: yeah twas a giggle!

cheers! id love to get in touch with you about how you went about designing your clone. for instance how did you work out the class structure and other things like that. a quake clone is exactly what i want to make to be honest! can you please get in touch with a few pointers on how to start the technical designing, i have already created a game design document its just putting that into concept that im finding hard

i agree with fffanatics, a good, logical design knowledge is imperitive when making games, going on in there like a bull in a china shop just doesnt work! but after a while programming you should have a decent library of code that you can re-use for instance collision classes and other classes like animation. this again saves you alot of time and also allows you to evolve as a developer by building on what you already have

My advice, stop using so many portals and frames etc, Google hates 'em. Try and get just one url.

yeah its saying line 4 because you never terminated the command on line 3 so it thinks its just one whole command. start using ';'

no problem glad i can help if u employ both php hiding and obfuscation not only do you get unreadable code but unreadle code with no sign of what language it is either! making it very very difficult for a would be script thief

im pretty sure its a pay for app, your gonna have to connect to a telephone operators sms server and thats what costs, sending texts arent free but are damn cheap!!you can have a look around for a free service but i highly doubt you'll find a decent one

you will have to get an account with an sms server as far as im aware, you can use the account on your website by using the sms sites API try this... http://www.activexperts.com/sms-messaging-server/

take a look at something like this https://www.raizlabs.com/contact/support/ if youre gonna do it i advise you read up a bit about it first because otehrwise see youre code obfuscation might give you a heart attack! lol Here is a sample of what obfuscated code looks like... function FC7321B391B6EF18F0711B835402E91D1($RE91192A00FF990477EE414AD5D708F08) { global $db_prefix; global $R695CD54D1F9CB31C11C71AF5EF74FDDB; $R9E9F3EDB7A84E99A0567F313F4EAC1BA = $RE91192A00FF990477EE414AD5D708F08; $R37A721F3B04CA577A7730084048F2BE3 = array_keys($R695CD54D1F9CB31C11C71AF5EF74FDDB); foreach($R37A721F3B04CA577A7730084048F2BE3 as $R90E8291866BD6CB7ED5089CE7E833D11) { $R9E9F3EDB7A84E99A0567F313F4EAC1BA = str_replace($R90E8291866BD6CB7ED5089CE7E833D11, $db_prefix . $R90E8291866BD6CB7ED5089CE7E833D11 , $R9E9F3EDB7A84E99A0567F313F4EAC1BA); } return $R9E9F3EDB7A84E99A0567F313F4EAC1BA;}. heres another kewl tutorial to hide the fact that your using php altogether! take a peek https://forums.phpfreaks.com/index.php/c,186675.0.html

i think the smoking thing is force of habbit to be honest, also alot of people hide behind smoking, tis like a security blanket for them. they have been smoking for so long they dont feel like themselves without it. i mean you ask nearly any smoker and they'll say theyd rather not smoke. but most people will have been smoking most their life, that means for most of their life theyve had a stick in their hand and inhaled from it. take that away and what do you have left to replace that time with the stick in your hand? usualy if ur a smoker you dont do many sports and the like. im not making excuses but i can say after half my life smoking giving up only ever seems to be for months at a time. it really is hard especialy as a smoker you know a lot of other smokers too!bottom line smoking not kewl but if your gonna do it may as well smoke some thing worth while ...

this is a great lil guide! ive been trying to work out how to get windows installed on my laptop again for ages!

in a nutshell you need to know how to program pretty well to get anywhere with it. but if i remember rightly Torqe created like a point n click game creator that you can buy for it or something, i wouldnt bother with it personally, xna and c# are not hard to learn at all i figure with a couple of hours a night you could get something up within a week and it'll go from there. theres so much documentation for xna! a little googling and youll have an immense amount of resources, and with it being a microsoft thing you have support and a massive community to help you! all in all there is a learning curve but not a difficult one

right microsoft are lovely people and have created a way that xbox 360 owners can create games for their consoles! the language used is XNA (i spose its a sort of c#) and the XNA game studio, you also need ms visual c# and dirext sdk etc. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ this link tells you how to set it up. also for xbox development you are required to Subscribe to the Creators Club so that you can connect game studio to the xbox. it is the best, easiest and legitimate way to develop games for consoles these days!

wouldnt it have been to use the scanner class to read a file object line by line? instead of creating buffers and the such?

you can also try obfuscating your code and make it unreadable to everyone except yourself....

my god this is such a handy resource to have im fed up of keep having to google every special character etc i need! thanks alot for this!

i remember tryin slackware way back in 2000 had it running on a p3 toshiba was mint! loved it these days im using a heavily customised version of gutsy ubuntu! also made my own distrobution of linux using LFS [linux from scratch] only command line at the moment but im working on it!as with games for linux try something called codega i can run oblivion and f.e.a.r on my machine with it just fine! ok its not free but a small one month subcription doesnt break the bank!

Software Engineering BSc at bournemouth university and im loving it!

I use all three os' daily and i have to say that the mac annoys me the most, ok the design is nice but the cost is ridiculous! and the way it relies alot on hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts annoys me too, its also very sameish i.e. all the interfaces for aplications and explorer windows. and the fact that the apps menu bar is stuck to the top is annoying because even though you close the workspace you were using the app is still running, still using memory so when you forget to close them down you have like 50 apps running before you know it!windows is the old faithful! leave vista alone xp and 2000 know what theyre doing and do it well, ok they are prone to attacks and vulnerabilities but thats only to be expected as its the most used system in the world! what would the point be in hacking say an acorn these days? the sheer compatibility and expandability this os provides you with just out weighs the other os's out there. and there is just no argument over its ease of use the os has been around for so long people are born knowing how to use it.and finaly linux - my fave. it truly is a FULLY customisable os, right to the point of creating your own distribution [see Linux From Scratch]. there are various desktop environments out there so you arent stuck with one visual gui, the fact that the os is so heavily integrated with the CLI [Command line interface] makes upgrading and customising the os a doddle, also with the new generation of distros out there such as ubuntu, installing software is a matter of a couple of clicks, ubuntu even has an application that lets you search open source software and then install directly to your machine! the support is generaly fantastic as well! most linux users i have come across are excited to learn of another nix user! so i recommend you give it a go!

i think its fair to say by the results of this pole that obese people use gaming as a smokescreen for their greed. in an extreme comparison its what osama bin laden is doin for islam. the sooner people just own up to things themselves then this world could do some amazing things!everyone loves a scapegoat!

i will always be an xp fan but i can see the time for change coming more and more software is gearing towards vista now and its getting harder and harder to buy a laptop with an xp license! and when they come with vista on the machine 9 times out of ten you cant get xp drivers for the machine! i do think it unfair how microsoft are pretty much forcing this change on us and really giving xp users no place to hide slowly but surely!
