  1. Hey guys, I'm trying to write my own graphics header.

    I've tested myself by witting one in OpenGL by only drawing things point by point.

    I made my own line drawing, circle drawing functions, etc.

    I made my own transparency and image drawing functions.

    But now I want to, if possible, write directly to the video memory char by char if I can.

    But from what I've found on Google, it doesn't work.

    I made a pointer array to the video memory but it just didn't work.

    Can someone give me a small piece of code that just writes a char of data, or even an int, or whatever, to the video memory at a position.

    I wan to do as much of the work myself at as low of a level as possible in C++.

    Thanks

  2. The current best, I would have to say, is the Wii. Every system out there focuses on graphics and computing power, which is nice, but Nintendo knows people want to have fun. They are always pushing for something new. The Wii has the remote and now an exercise pad.

  3. How very silly. Peer-to-peer file sharing itself violates no laws and no regulations. It's simply a protocol through which people can convey information in a somewhat efficient manner. It's ridiculous to say file sharing violates any rights, because it does not (it's the people who make the violations).

    This is a terribly important distinction to make.

    but the problem is we use p2p technology to share illegal files.

    For instance, why p0rn sites are illegal? It's also sharing stuffs with peoples. Just the stuffs shared couldn't be accepted, it's just that simple.

     

    But even if they tried to monitor us, p2p would be rather hard to monitor, wouldn't it?

     

    For sure it would be hard one to track all these.

    Government would just simply record down all your download quota per month and see. If you just used 100MB bandwidth per month, what could you do?? NOTHING. But if you get exceeded 50GB per month, everybody knows that you keep on downloading something huge size, so they will start monitor what you've downloaded daily and cached every file.

     

    *I downloaded 20+GB per month... XD

     

    Similar to the way the government catches growers by watching electrical usage, right?

  4. I think the traveling to the past isn't what it seems. I believe it to be you travel so fast that you catch up with the other fleeing "facts" of the universe that you experience them again and if accelerating, in reverse order.

  5. Yeah, I knew about the Linux version too. It's pretty accurate. If it can't find a song I usually just have to edit the name of my song because it's not the official name or other similar problems. I agree, It would be cool if it highlighted the syllables in real time, but would require a few variables. This is really just plain text lookup without you having to do the work.

  6. Just noticed there wasn't a software forum so I posted it here. I didn't think there was a more appropriate forum except maybe music, but not in the strictest sense.

    Anyway, this has come in handy.

    For all of you who have songs you like but don't know what they're saying at time (Because singers just can't enunciate, right?), you look up the lyrics.

    This plug-in will save you a few seconds of effort by showing you the lyrics to the song you're listening to when you click to play it. It usually fetches the lyrics in about 2 seconds... and I'm on dialup.
