| Looks good, but the flaming text sucks and there's way too much space above the actual post. | |||

| Try this, then. If you can show me a way to do this as simple as you can in VB, I'll eat some arbitrary object. Dim x as string x = "this is text" [...] x = "this is longer text" Now this seems simple enough... But suppose the second string is the output from a function and you don't know how long it will be? You have to either declare a huge string and use up a lot of memory in hopes that it'll be enough, or figure out the returned string's length and allocate more memory, which likely involves calling the function again and again until the entire string fits if it's an API call or something in a DLL. VB, none of that, just assign x to the function's return value. And with strcat(x,y) wouldn't x already have to be long enough for x and y together? So it's the same problem again. |

| Yes, what exactly is the problem; is it not working? If something's failing it's generally a good idea to temporarily add code that outputs the value of GetLastError(), and for long-term you might want to check return values too. | |||

Just the standard defrag, yes. Not the DOS one, I actually started up Explorer and ran it. (And then immediately closed Explorer.  ) DOS's didn't seem to do any better, but it doesn't have any real output so I couldn't tell if it was even doing anything.  |

Or running them through Babelfish translating to a random language. I say Babelfish so even people who happen to speak the language won't be able to read it.  |

| See, I never really got how that can work in a multi-threaded environment, particularly with API. You call the function, it allocates a string and returns a pointer... Now that string is just kinda 'stuck' in memory, since AFAIK you can't free memory in another process. And suppose another thread called the same function at the same time? The two could be mixed up. And another thing about VB - no pointers. Sure that's bad, but for n00bs, it means no annoying memory access errors. |

| Just wondering if this existed... I need to test a program, and to do so I need to have a BitTorrent download running. Thing is I don't want to waste bandwidth downloading a big file I don't want... I don't suppose there's a place where I can download say 100MB at a constant, really slow speed? (Possibly even zero, just to have the download running even if it doesn't actually make any progress.) Oh and no, the program isn't a BT client. |

| Yeah, I think I get it. I shouldn't be programming when I'm sleepy. Do API functions run as another thread/process though? It seems like they would, but you'd think that would cause stability problems. Also why does C allow such useless staments as 'x << 2' (not assigning it to anything) and 'if(blah);' (no following statement)? It's messed me up more than a few times.

| I think the 'post background' field is borked, you need to put one in manually. And you scared me with that Sonic stuff, for a sec I thought it was one huge image. Kill the white, though, it's quite a pain. I suggest not having any background colour, or maybe a small repeated image such as a chunk of level from the game. (Keep it small though, or 56Kers will eat you. Slowly. ) |

Like I said on AIM, looks nice. Even better with the stars around the edges.  Originally posted by Xkeeper Yeah, but how many people have told him they love his layout? People are going to respond more to something that hurts their eyes/bandwidth than something good. |

OK, I tried making my own, but I really suck at it.  So I need some fonts. One containing all the standard ASCII characters 33-126 (! through ~) and possibly some of the extended ones like |

| It looks alright now but you should have seen the first batch. Yeck. Though interestingly all that really needed changing was like 4 letters. (You may notice that e, a and o could still use some work. ) I have the Japanese fonts, I might just use those but it could be difficult because Windows tends to add 'fuzz' to them to enhance the look on LCD screens (despite that I don't have an LCD, as much as I'd like one) and plus I'm not entirely sure how to type Kanji. (Plus that's a lot of typing.) Would Photoshop open those BDF files though? It does say Adobe BDF. |

| Yes, except for the background (and the clock - flash-to-links, yay Proxomitron ). Is that BG supposed to be part of your layout? It almost looks like part of the board scheme. (Kinda hard to read on that background though.) [edit] Ah yes, it does show up in your profile. Someone needs to fix that background field. And the text isn't bad, actually. I was looking at the small writing above. (edited by HyperHacker on 04-05-05 11:39 AM) |

| I don't know if there's a specific function to do it, but something like this should work: if((MyString[0] >= 'a') && (MyString[0] <= 'z')) //Between a and z? MyString[0] -= 0x20; //Subtract difference between 'a' and 'A' Assuming you're using char arrays, and not some C++ thing I don't know about. |
