Remember my podracing simulator I posted a screenshot of earlier? I cleaned it up a little and HERE PLAY IT.
Awww, it's java. Too bad that doesn't run on my computer.

Speaking of JRPG's, Septerra Core (1999) is on for €2.50. FinalFantasy-VII-esque, can get a bit repetitive at the end, but I liked it.

Edit: And I generally don't even like JRPG's. It gets an 85 user score on metacritic.

I wonder if this clip works better if you don't understand the language.
No idea. I love their english stuff, can understand 10% of this, but untranslated it doesn't do it for me.

After I happened to mention a popular encryption protocol to someone, someone else jumped in with the statement that 'encryption does not protect [the thing it's encrypting]'.

I pointed out that well, yes, it does, and that's kinda the whole point of encryption.  Otherwise it's just 'writing it down'.

I'd assumed that his comment was an offshoot of the whole current news cycle on PRISM, the various internet security holes and eavesdropping, etc.  Apparently not.  The guy actually claimed that any encryption (any encryption) would only stop anyone from reading what you wrote for 'about two minutes'.  Not talking about the NSA or governmental bodies here, apparently.  Anyone.  Said very confidently and almost triumphantly.

For pure head-desk lack of understanding of this guy's thought processes: WTF?
Well, to be fair, it's not two minutes but eventually all encryption is futile, and anything you encrypt now, can be decrypted in two minutes in the foreseeable future (as in we'll live to see that day). Encryption is a grey area, never full-proof, and it's smart never to fully trust it.

Relevant XKCD: http://xkcd.com/1269/
I'm the nihilist-philosopher btw.

But, I agree, that claiming that all modern techniques can be cracked in 2 minutes is tinfoil-hat-worthy.

Operation NES repair: GO!
Hey, if you get it working, can you take a look at my PS2?
Pfft, this thing is dirtier than I thought. Needs more chemicals.

Have you tried drowning it in acid?

Yeah, what Mephisto said. Had to work with a guy two jobs ago who refactored everything like that (5 line rule), creating more and more verbose and useless methods.

To be fair, it was Java, so verbose and useless was the norm in that company.

A member of another forum I'm on recently revealed himself as a transsexual. He was born a man but found out about a year ago (after joining the forums) that he thought himself as a woman.
That's... not really a WTF on this forum...
Well it might have been a slight WTF for him.
WTF's isn't always a bad thing.
Oh that's not what I mean, it's just that people coming out on B12 as being trans is almost a daily happening :)
But it was on another forum, with a very small community, on which I'm since 2008. And where nothing of note happened for months if not more.
Ah, context! That explains :)

PHP: Method comments as per phpdoc standards, but very few inline comments, unless the structure is off/different, or when I'm talking to API's and it's not clear what it is I am doing and why:
Code: [Select]
// ok here we need to finish the request with an extra linebreak or the deamon will crash
// when we receive the magic code 402 the request was successful. Any other code or null means it failed, so we throw the corresponding exception

I did not make those two up, btw, those are real comments.

Oh and I also do comments like these:
Code: [Select]
// This is so bad I don't even. DAMN YOU <insert ex-coworker name here>!!! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!

Apparently the version of Mingw(or gcc, I have no idea) that came with Code::Blocks doesn't support multithreading.

Does someone know how I could swap out mingw out for a version that supports multithreading?
Or barring that, how the hell I should get Boost working? The getting started guide refers to a file that doesn't exist.
That one's fun eh?

The c++11 threading is not yet supported for windows in gcc, so you still have to use boost threads (or go the posix-cygwin route but I never got that to work).
So in short, get boost, then compile the threading stuff (using cmake), then you can use it. Took me a week to get that working though :P

I finally finished code for a problem I was given in my AP CompSci class just now.  The purpose is to "Write a function that takes and integer argument.  Return true if the number is divisible by all of its digits (if a digit is 0 return false) else retuen false" Can you guys tell me how badly I messed this up-
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Also are there are any ways to improve the efficiency of this?  And are there any ways to input a number to break this?
Efficiency: As soon as you reach a digit 0, or if the number is not divisible, you can return false instead of break.
Instead of doing a count by length, you can do a while(newnum > 0){}, or even better, a custom for
You'd get:

But then in your own words, of course :)

Hi everybody, I'm trying to practise some OOP in C# and I'm having a problem with calling a method. The code is a mess so I highlighted the parts that are giving errors. All the greened code is just there for temporary testing. I tried making the methods static but it only created new errors.


An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'DebtedAdventurer.Program.Choise1'   C:\Users\Johuotar\Dropbox\Omat tiedostot\Omia ohjelmointeja\DebtedAdventurer\DebtedAdventurer\Program.cs   177   21   DebtedAdventurer

Choise1 needs to be static if you're accessing it from a static function.
