>My favorite Linux disto these days is #! CrunchBang Linux, an Ubuntu based distribution offering a great blend of speed, style and substance. Using the nimble Openbox window manager, it is highly customisable and provides a modern, full-featured GNU/Linux system without sacrificing performance. Ditto.

I was curious about Linux and switched from Windows to the latest version of Ubuntu about 3 or 4 months ago.. Personally, I think it's a very easy distro to use and there's a huge amount of online support for it. I've never had any real problems installing drivers/libraries/software and …

So.. Google are going ahead with their 'Go' programming language - "a cross between C++ and Python". [URL="http://bit.ly/4msbSJ"]Article[/URL] [URL="http://golang.org/"]Official site[/URL] Not sure what my thoughts are on it yet. What does everyone else make of it..?

so.. what was the problem?

Managed to get Win7 free from my university about 3 weeks ago and I'm dualbooting it with a couple of Linux distros. Most annoying thing about the set up was that Windows eats boot loaders for breakfast.. but after I got that sorted out it was pretty easy. Had a …

I recently dual booted my machine with Windows 7 and the switch from Linux inspired me to try out the Google Chrome browser. I actually really like it: it's minimal with a good, clear interface and seemingly even faster than Firefox.. but I've heard from a couple of sources that …

..php and other web languages would be cool to look at for getting a good grasp on networking. I'd love to have a proper go at some assembly as well just for the sheer geek factor :)

What are you using as an IDE? Always best to get the right architecture..

>.. And then consider that Musicians don't tend to be geeks, and ask yourself why so many of them use Macs? It's because they work. And because musicians can't afford to loose their work to a virus. What rubbish. If anyone buys easily into trends, it's musicians.. and anyway, you …

..so do you need to generate a random 10 digit binary sequence using the bitshift operators? (<< and >>)

>Eh, these days most of us practically live in our web browsers. Richard doesn't need anything from the www? Hmm... Yea, I found that kinda weird too..

As far as I know, 'traverse' simply means to move through the list/tree.. so to traverse a 'card' back to the 'home card' would just mean to move the appropriate node to the start of the list. Your move_current_back() function should be able to deal with that. I've also noticed …

..just a note that system("pause") is not a good idea.

Also, your 'int main' function needs to return a value. The most basic example program will show you how to do this. You don't need to use a string variable for height but if you wanted to you would have to declare it [I]after[/I] 'using namespace std;' That and VernonDozier's …

..aren't single inverted commas just for char variables? Maybe that would cause a problem because the compiler would be expecting one character and receives two. Just a guess :-/

Hi, I noticed a few snippets recently where a size_t variable was used for array indices, and after searching around I'm still not sure what the obvious advantage of using a size_t variable over a typical int would be.. To clarify, what would be the difference between this: [code=cplusplus] for(size_t …

As ShawnCplus has mentioned, the calls to the functions are incorrect. You aren't returning your average value from the calcAverage function [B]into a variable[/B] so you won't be able to pass it into your printing function. When you call the calcAverage function it should return into a variable: [code=cplusplus] int …

Hi there, I've just purchased a barebones Shuttle PC (+components) and will be building it soon. However, I read a review that suggested the power supply provided (250w) was quite low. I was under the assumption that small form factor PCs can run with less power consumption than a standard …
