learning to program well and learning to program games well are two very different things... To program a game and program it well one must first understand basic computer science and programming practices. I reccomend that "as you learn c++" you spend your time focusing on the concepts...

well what are you using as your path on the win32 boxes?

To approximate pi to the 100th digit using monte carlo would be near impossible for you using this method. Using like 1,000,000,000 darts you are still only likely to be exact to like 6-10 places of pi which is nowhere near 100. You are going to have to go way above INT_MAX to even get close...

well if you have 400 dollars to throw out the window and know how to build a computer from parts you can make an athlon 1600 with geforce 2 graphics thanks to the nforce chip set, 256 mb of ram, 40 gig hard drive and a cd r or dvd drive. Otherwise just wait a while and pray that ibm and apple...

The servers taken down were the major dns servers if I remember correctly. They were taken down using denail of service attacks so having any sort of protection would not have really helped. No real impact was made on the ability of people to surf the internet as the system was made to be...

mini dv is a smaller newer format of tapes. Mini dv cameras can be a lot smaller because the media itself is smaller. We are talking about half the size of a traditional video camera. Digital 8 are smaller than VHS tapes but about 2.5 times as big as a mini dv tape. Thus the camcorders that...

Ok well this isn't really mac related but I am bored and figure that some of the people who frequent this board may be able to help me. Basically I am looking for some sites that have some intermediate programming exercises. Something a bit more complicated then printing out fibbonachi #s or...

its a known thingy, believed to be an easter egg I think. Someone posted a screenshot a couple of weeks ago, do a search and you will find it.

I am not sure, check the warrenty if you still have it. Technical failure should be under warrenty and that is the most likely cause of your mouses demise.

I had the same thing happen with a microsoft optical back about a year ago after having used it with no problems for about a year. Sorry to say it but your mouse is probably dead. Might have been a power surge, or a loose part but if its like mine it will never work again on any computer.

did it start right away when you upgrade? If not it is likely that you battery is just breaking down and loosing charge potential. If you have a spare battery or know someone that does give that a try and see how long it lasts for you.

ok yeah so it didn't post right (anything in carots got erased) so just check out the last program at the bottom of the page.

what data types are you interested in? ints, floats etc... I found this online, I am not quite sure if its what you want but it might be #include <iostream> #include <climits> using std::cout; using std::endl; volatile int char_min = CHAR_MIN; int main(void) {...

get Pogue's. I don't personally own it but I browsed through it at a book store and it seems pretty well written and easy to understand. It may cover a lot more than she will ever need but atleast that leaves room for growth if she really gets into it.

the project builder is just an ide, you are still using gcc behind the scenes... As for books I can reccomend the one by the Deitel Brothers(forget the name). It is well written, has nice examples and is not really platform dependant in any way. As buc said check out websites. I don't...

I don't mean to sound rude but buy a book. Teaching a programming language to someone with little experience is a very time consuming process. I doubt that many people have enough time to sit infront of their computer and I.M. back and forth lessons on programming. I can reccomend a few...

Are you just typing that in and trying to get it to print out "Hello World" or do you have a main function and preprocessor directives to load the required header files? I need to know exactly what you have typed and what message you are getting when you try to compile to truely help you...

Europa (a moon of Jupiter)

It is a filesharing p2p program based around a hub system. It has been out for a while and is a nice overall program but you have to find the right servers to really make it worth it.

aletiahosting is pretty good too. I have plenty of friends who use them and have nothing bad to say.
