    Help me before I kill my computer

    "The memory could not be blank" (where blank is read or written) is the most common memory related error message. It means the program tried to read or write from memory not allocated. Here's some C-code: int main() { char b[1]; sprintf(b, "..."); return 0; } I am pretty sure this is a...

    The right thing to do

    After some thought, I've decided to wait. It's not worth the hassle. Thanks for the feedback. :) <rant> Nah, that was just clumsy journalism. RIAA/MPAA spends lots of money to make the general public belive filesharing (filesharing doesnt have to mean piracy) is evil, so they can outlaw the...

    The right thing to do

    That's the trick - it isn't illigal to download here, for a few more months. So it's more of a moral question. I'll probably wait, but I thought it was an interesting question.

    Silver Spring MD TV/Internet Providers

    Intersting, nither Comcast or Verizon give any information at all about their internet connections, except that they are "Super Fast". Sounds trustworthy. :D If broadband is important for you I'd call both of them and ask a few intelligent questions, such as: Is there a download cap or can you...

    The right thing to do

    Hey folks. I just preordered the PC version of GTA: San Andreas. The Swedish release date is this friday but due to shipping I will probably get the game next week. Is it wrong of me to download a "warez" version in the meantime? Opinions people!

    Personalities in the Gaming Industry and Politics

    If you want this thread to live I think you should remove parapgraph 3 ("Now, I'm going to come...") and 4 ("I know that airing...") because, well, reasons. :) Anyhow, I dont give a dice about the authors political or whatever preferences as long as the books are good and don't contain propaganda.

    Can a hosted forum have more than one moderator?

    I know it is technically possible... but the admins might have administrative reasons to have one mod / forum. So, I don't know. Not that this helps or anything. :)

    Lesser Known Movies Worth Seeing

    The Last Casino: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0419909/ Canadian TV-movie, defenitely the best movie of 2004 (in my opinion, that is). Ong-bak: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0368909/ Better martial arts scenes than Jet Liu and.. that famous guy who makes lots of action comedies. One of the best...

    Why am I not getting 'Lost'?

    You answered your own question mate. I think the problem here is you are not trying to enjoy it. Every single movie and tv-serie (and music) sucks if you dont let go first. Ask yourself, would you enjoy this if it was a non-mainstream indie production noone but you had heard about? It's the...

    I need Windows people to make sure my website looks okay

    All this is used to help the web browser figure out what you are trying to do. The doctype tag tells the browser what kind of HTML you use, in this case XHTML 1.0, and the Transitional kind. The two common XHTML types are Transitional (general purpose) and Strict (a minimal version with very...

    How many words in a book?

    Take a book you like and use it as reference. Count the words on one page, and multiply by number of pages. There you have it. :)

    File Sharing Questions

    Sorry. I apologize if I stepped on your foot here Aeson, not my intent. :( File sharing is a weird world uncomfortable at first until you understand how it works, kinda like a finer golf court. You know they dont like you wear shorts for example. :) My point here is, file sharing is very...

    DC++ is an open source Direct Connect client without spyware. You can compile it yourself if you dont trust the binaries. Almost all BitTorrent clients are open source too. Dont bother with Kazaa/Gnutella/Donkey or whatever they are called. Because they are easy to use, they attract dumb...

    What is a bitTorrent?

    Thats how it works, if you don't upload you won't download. Most BitTorrent trackers makes sure you will never download faster than you upload. If you configure your network and firewalls correctly you will download at least as fast as your maximum upload. My download is usually 800 kb/sec with...
