    Example of a BAD advertising post.

    Re: Get a Discount of up to 50% for Office 2003 Professional (in I like how you did note our rules before posting this, but this is still a very obvious spam message and therefore you have been banned. You have the ability to repeal this ban by e-mailing [email protected]...

    We do have a captcha system I believe...I'll look into something better soon. If you are taking care of the posts, please make sure to ban the users too.

    The Burningstorm Studios IRC Channel (#burningstormstudios)

    Quick-start guide added for Pidgin. Also updated chanlev list. Since no one has been on for awhile, everyone has been removed. Once you join and send me a quick message, I can re-op you. However, since there is a list of previous admin, I will also require you to type a message in the dev forums.

    The Burningstorm Studios IRC Channel (#burningstormstudios)

    Somewhere along the line, this channel died. Well, I reopened the channel and already have gotten Q back into it. I should be in the channel everyday as long as my computer doesn't reboot randomly (been known to do that, THANKS WINDOWS UPDATE! :D). I'm also testing a bot out for the...

    Windows 7 Testing

    I'm going to try out Windows 7 over the next couple of months. So all services hosted on my computer will be offline temporarily starting tomorrow (Jan. 31). I'll probably dual boot, but I'll stick on W7 until I find a reason to switch back. So while I'll try and get all services running again...

    Ragnarok Online

    Is that game still around? For some reason I thought it had died...I believe it is a 3D game, at least as far as I remember.

    December 18 - DX8 and Vista

    Talking purely about .Net languages. Microsoft made all of them RAD (Rapid Application Development) languages and they all compile using MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language), similar to how Java compiles to bytecode that a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) can read. So now its a matter of preference...

    December 18 - DX8 and Vista

    OK, I've looked into all possibilities for making this com object. It's proving to be much more difficult to do than previously suspected. I mean, I knew this was a huge task, but not nearly as much as it is turning out to be. Next idea. I'm going to port the project (starting with the demo) to...

    Counter-Strike: Source

    Not to be confused with CS1.6....Anyway, if you still play this fairly old game, I'm now hosting a couple of servers. Visit this page for info on how to connect: http://ww2.mushroomgames.com:8080/stats/server.php Note that both servers are still being configured properly. I know the gungame...

    Here, ftp to this server: host: ww2.mushroomgames.com port: 21 passive: yes (though if you get an error it means you should probably change this to no) username: krum password: ireallydontcarewhoknowsit just upload to the root folder. since I'm posting this pass publicly, I'm only giving...

    Is the CD just a data CD, no autorun or anything that runs when you insert it? Well really, I guess it doesn't matter. Sure go ahead. From what I can tell, it is more C oriented than C++ isn't it? Though, there isn't too big of a difference so far.

    Actually, I found the eBook (which was harder than I thought'd be) and have started into it. I can work on it and read at the same time since I have dual monitors. Only annoying thing is, one is widescreen while the other is standard. I would like to make the widescreen vertical to program in...

    December 18 - DX8 and Vista

    Funny, I was just about to post asking you what C++ compiler you used. I've been using MinGW for the longest time now. Main reason is because I can program in Notepad++ running from a flashdrive. This let me program absolutely anywhere I went where there was a computer. I used VC++ 6.0 in the...

    December 18 - DX8 and Vista

    I thought they were backward compatible too, but when testing with an OOTB Vista, Besrix would not work. So I started researching and its not that they are incompatible, it's that the VB dlls were left out of vista. Whether by accident or on purpose, even Microsoft isn't too sure, but they have...

    December 18 - DX8 and Vista

    OK. So we made the jump from DX7 to DX8 several months back. That brought us up to date on out of the box XP installations (base to SP3). However, I've been informed through several sources that DX9 is the earliest DX component shipped with Vista. And have confirmed this myself today. This will...

    OK, Finals are next week, and since I am currently unemployed (it's a bitch to actually find a job anywhere these days) I will have tons of freetime to pick back up on development. Right now, I'm going to abandon trying to move to a new language. Though I did just open VB and man, it's like a...

    Vista

    Well, I've thought a lot about it, and while I would love to try it out, with Windows 7 currently slated for a release in 2009 (no specific quarterly deadline as of yet), I think I'll hold off.

    Wow, C# is almost entirely like Java. Which I guess makes sense since that was what it was originally before they broke their contract with Java, at least that's my understanding on the situation. I've not tried to mess with pointers in C# yet, are they supported? Also, have you messed with...
