• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Hungarian notation

    Hungarian notation is morally bankrupt. A variable's type belongs in its declaration and definition, not in its name. "Of dubious practical advantage even for type-unsafe calls in C, or in environments when nearly everything is a type-challenged int or void* handle," she shook her head sadly...

    Another problem with formatting!!! Need all the help I can get!

    What the heck are you doing? To format anything other than your system and boot drives, use Disk Management. To nuke Windows XP itself, use XP Setup.

    Simple HTML question

    Shouldn't ./ access the current directory? A bare / should access the root directory.

    C++ Tutorials

    I should probably mention that while the 1998 and 2003 C++ Standards cost $18 each in PDF form, you can now access the Working Paper (which will become the next C++ Standard) freely: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1638.pdf The site is slow, but it will load...

    Java Game programming question

    [Nemezer] > I say you use a Hashtable. They are cool > It's also the most efficient way of doing it. This is incorrect. The most efficient data structure for determining whether a given word is in a dictionary is a trie. Querying whether a word of length M is in the dictionary then...

    Data Structures Book

    C is a crummy language. Don't use it if you're not required to use it. Data structures are a hojillion times more fun in C++. Not only does C++ provide data abstraction support like constructors, destructors, and access control (public/private), it provides templates, so your data structures...

    Website needs some critiquing :P

    It clutters up the page for the user. By the Wrath Of Khan Principle, I win.

    So the forums are back...

    What's funny is that I'm not bothered by anyone here now that Special K is gone. (The L Word's recent attacks on my development experience, or lack thereof, are secretly hilarious, because I know something he doesn't.)

    Personal Site..not trying to advertise

    [Anarchonixx] > You have a funny notion of what constructive criticism > entails.~ Well, if it looks ugly, and lacks any content whatsoever, it shouldn't exist. My website was the same way about 7 years ago. Please, gymboy. Think about what you want to say before how you want to say it.

    Personal Site..not trying to advertise

    Looks like crud. (The truth hurts.) What kind of content is it supposed to have? I don't click past entry pages.

    Sgarissta admits that it is a Power that tele-operates sophonts in the Beyond. But consider how difficult it is to have a close-coupled automation with time lags of more than a few milliseconds.
