Welcome To Sigcont!
Hey :) I, just like kreitje, was away as well.. Just got back yesterday, so... Welcome, Jacob_, I think I saw your post somewhere saying you are learning or using C/C++. If you need any help on that - text me (Skype, FB, WLM or whatever) - I'm …

Diaspora
yeah, It's a lot simpler to use someone's else host rather than setting up your own. Internet browser is something that is pre-installed on every machine and so you can access your Facebook, Twitter, Myspace account on any computer you get…

Program ideas?
@Umang M, You are right :) I missed that point. @tLunter Conky isn't anything like RSS. Conky is actually something really powerful. It is more like an interpreter to display your computer stats + almost anything if you have a good enough shel…

Program ideas?
I'm not a Mac user, never was, but... Just think whatever you miss while using your computer... Anything small, any plug-in/add-on? I think it's the best to make whatever you need for several reasons: - You have motivation to code. - You&#…

Do you have a portfolio? if so what is it?
It's not a portfolio but... 2 days ago my friends asked to make a theme for his new PHP-Fusion based website... So I did: http://www.leagueoflegends.lt/ Of course, I do not work with PhotoShop that much but still. Rate it :) Ah, first I made …

For some reason I had to clear the cache in chrome on my computer to be able to login, but on another computer chrome had no problems... That didn't work for me. I had to remove all cookies (maybe one of them would be enough but... I just remo…

Why Security Essentials?
It's a bit too late, I guess but I was reading some internet articles when thought about this post and got a nice answer why MS has created Security Essentials (don't really know why did it come that moment). It's free if you have a…

Why Security Essentials?
I believe this bug is already fixed but it was a serious one and used for worms (copied from Google so I do not make any mistake): According to several independent analyses, the exploit is based on a Flash demo for implementing the AES encryption a…

Anyone else notice the text area skipping letters while typing on this site and the delay between typing and seeing the letters appear? Nope, everything is fine to me. Did you try checking CPU usage while using this website? Maybe you got some spywa…

Why Security Essentials?
I don't remember exactly the situation it was found out but... It was something like someone asked flash developers why does it response faster on Windows than the over OSes. The answer was that flash runs on OS in Linux, OSX and etc, while it…

Why Security Essentials?
I don't know correct answer about the permissions (but I guess it's exactly the reason) but... Flash is cross platform. Those attacks can affect all 3 OSes but Windows is probably the main target because it's the most popular. And eve…

Why Security Essentials?
I consider it a security vulnerability if a program can get installed and transmit itself over a network without my consent. Welcome to Windows :DD Actually there is a firewall and Run as Administrator stuff but in most cases it doesn't work as…

Why Security Essentials?
I'm not a virus specialist, never was, but fixing bugs doesn't mean your computer is not infected or used as server... Or something. That's why you need anti-virus software. To remove those viruses. Maybe they couldn't manage to …

Does anyone know how to use opengl?
OpenGL is only a displaying library and it doesn't handle events. That's why you can't use it alone. You need another library for that. Most popular choices are GLUT and SDL. GLUT is very primitive. You just initialize it, give a dri…

R/C Airplanes
I actually have one... In a box :p Got it for one of my birthdays but I don't really play with it but after I saw your plane... I do want :) Probably tomorrow. Hopefully I won't break it before the taking off :)

Ok well im not an expert at C++ but...
If it's just a bunch of *.h and *.c/*.cpp files - include them in your project* (to the list of the files in Dev-Cpp project) and code (#include "name_of_header_file"...). I have used Dev-Cpp as a portable compiler, so I don't …

How hard would it be?
I haven't read the whole documentation (too lazy) but 2D games are pretty simple to make. I also consider it's tile-based (except for the fight field, I guess), so... Pretty simple. Although as you are just in a very basic level of learnin…

Would it be easier for me to learn perl before C++
Learning languages just to learn is kinda pointless. Try to get above the average in one or a few languages instead. Which ones? Your choice. It depends on what you wanna do.

Ok well im not an expert at C++ but...
As Tesiox said... It depends on the library. As you said i put it in my library folder in my compiler's folder, I guess it's a precompiled library. Tell us the name of it so we can Google for the flag for the compiler. For example it may …

top 5 programming languages?
I don't know if you Googled or not (your comment about most popular languages totally match with this website, which is the #1 Google result ;)) ) but it doesn't matter. All I wanna say is that I think this discussion is about your top 5. …

Is there a way to do this?
What did you mean by the program needs to update when the program does? Did you mean that the program has to update when the site does? That's not too hard. It's all about sockets. To make your program cross-platform and simpler I would …

1. C/C++ 2. Python (little experience but it's a good language 3. PHP 4. Java (don't really like this language somehow but it's a good language) 5. Shell (Unix style :D :D)

anyone want to help build a program
I would like to help you. I'm OK with C++. Just one question. What API are you going to be using? P.S. I wrote in another topic that you should PM me to get my IM info, but now I'm sending you one. Add me :)

Your languages
@Joey, I can help you with all the languages you mentioned. C/C++ is my favorite too :) although I'm working with PHP/HTML/CSS more at the moment. If you need my help - add me to your IM friend list... PM me to get my MSN, AIM or Skype. (or wh…

HTML emails using PHP
Actually MsgHTML does everything it should do. Here are 2 lines from it: ... $this->IsHTML(true); $this->Body = $message; ... so even my call to IsHTML() is kinda useless. --------------------- edited ----------------- OK, now I'm p…

HTML emails using PHP
May I ask what's the point of trying sending from localhost? I've got a form on the server I copy the HTML code to and then it does what the script does... (the one I posted) It surely does mess with the HTML. It gets what is has to get bu…

.xxx
Biggest sites will definitely use the new .xxx version of their .com domain as a redirection but all new websites will probably use .xxx as the main domain, I believe. It's good because sooner or later most porn will be found on .xxx websites w…

Between a wiki and a database?
What is exact reason for a desktop application? I really see no reason for it. A web interface is easy to build and use. Am I right that you want to create backup files in case someone tried to ruin everything, right? Well, I would keep my DB clear…

Google Logos
Yeah, I like them :D I loved playing Pacman :) Of course, there are people who sees this as a waste of time and etc but I think it's really fun :) It makes the web browsing more friendly, more enjoyable...

But again, I've got a question... Are we going to modify Vanilla code or use plugins only?
