Your need proof if you want to call the dictionary a liar
Here's something interesting. I looked up "stealing" on dictionary.com. It has a few definitions, here are the two most important:
sto·len, steal·ing, noun
–verb
1. to take (the property of...
The problem is that you cant be sure he'll buy it in the future, he could just download it too (He's done it before with no problems, so why waste his money now?). That's how the "affected morality"...
Sorry, Brewbuck. I miss-read your post. You were disturbed by my attack of torrents, not my attack of piracy. (plus, I couldn't help turning someone's line against them)
However, thinking that...
Sorry, my rant about Bill Gates was off. I was talking about the point that people are making about piracy helping companies like Microsoft gain more users. That's true, but I dont think it's a plus...
Well, forgive me for being less of a person then you, all mighty abachler! I'm just a stupid 15 year old that doesn't have the kind of wisdom or experience that is required to realize when something...
I'm a 15 year old high school student. If anything, I'm working for all of you.
Look, I'm sorry if I came across as blaming torrents as the problem. In case you didn't get it (or didn't really read the thread) the target is pirating in general. I just choose torrents to pick on...
I single out torrents because they're the most widely spread medium of internet theft, and they have absolutely no danger in using them. Because torrents are a shared network of seeders, no one can...
Well said Mario.
Here's an interesting sentence from Mario's second link:
"That record of success has led many experts and software companies to regard piracy as less of a problem than initially...
I discovered torrents a long while ago and I've had my share of downloads, but I previously bought civ4 for $60 then later found the torrent free and with both expansions. $60 may not seem much to...
Have you noticed how much damage torrents are doing to the internet? People dont buy any software any more, they just get the torrent. I know a guy who has gigs of music for free, MS Word 2008 for...
Sounds good. I saw the "shader's approach" version of Intro to Directx but I thought it as a different book, I think I'll get that one instead. Also, do you know if I need both Code Complete and Game...
XP sounds like a sound option. However, I have no idea of how to change my computer to XP. Wouldnt I need to first get the OS then partition my hard drive (how?) and then find all the right drivers...
I was thinking about UCF... I'll look into it, thanks
I think my biggest problem right now is finding a good college and the right courses to take there. It'll take some research and looking around, but it cant be too hard. I'm pretty sure I can get...
Thanks a lot! The people on this site are amazingly helpful. BTW, do you know about any specific colleges in Florida? Or maybe some tips on picking a good one because I have no idea whatsoever, I...
Me and my friend are both 15 (going into 10th grade now) and we want to start programming/developing games as a career. I was wondering if you had any advice that could help us learn and get into the...
Toshiba Satellite p150
My Toshiba Satellite p150 s9337 (or something like that) isnt working nearly as well as it should. It was around $2000 and has great stats. 2046mb of RAM, duel processors and Nvidia GeForce Go 7900...
Actually the Code Masters on my list was a typo (fixed), it's actually Code Complete (Also second edition). Is that the title you were referring to, or is there one specificly for games?
(EDIT: I...
The first books teach the foundations of C++ from the ground up. It's funny, I'm currently reading the first book (Beginning C++ Through Game Programming) and I just did tic-tac-toe and guess the...
Thank you very much, you answered my questions very well :)
I want to be able to understand enums better, so I have some questions:
How does the switch use the enum if they werent connected in any way?
Why do I need to decrease the value of choice in...
It works, thank you. Here's the final (just in case you want to see it):
// Menu Chooser
// Demonstrates the switch statement
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
