Re: Porting a C++ VS project to Linux

Ooo. I hadn't realized VS integration of CMake had progressed that far.

Thank you kindly. I'll check it out.

Porting a C++ VS project to Linux

Hey all, So I've been fiddling with a C++ project, and it turned out pretty neat. Now I want to make it work on Linux. Problem is, I'm used to all the bells and whistles of Visual Studio. I have literally no idea where to begin when it comes to writing a makefile, let alone something platform-indepe...

Re: New Member Introductions

Hey everybody. Not new, but I felt I might as well act the part.

(I was tempted to start a new thread and simply go "hey bitches, I'm back. Discuss.")

(I didn't.)

Re: European refugee crisis thread

Well, there does seem to be an increase in the problem linked with immigrants / refugees. Östersund, Sweden is cancelling Earth Hour because of a wave of attacks associated with foreigners. [via Google Translate]<snip> That's from the website of the Swedish national public TV broadcaster. Yes. And ...

Re: European refugee crisis thread

Sweden is the petrie dish experiment that will reveal the results of that hypothesis, that is of course if they don't cover it up . Although I would agree that the word 'common' isn't the correct term, but there will be an increase. The cover-up was stupid, but according to all evidence limited to ...

Re: Microsoft is forcing users to upgrade to Windows 10

Broomstick's example rings true for me: after moving house, I'm forced to rely on a spotty wifi connection, with lots of transmission errors. I don't fancy doing an md5 on files every other hour or so just because Microsoft fell in love with a buzzword, nor do I want the potential congestion those f...

Re: European refugee crisis thread

The conspiracy theory that Eleas raised earlier in this thread hinting that their polling numbers are the result of fraud must be considered very implausible in the light of this. I see you have yet to discover truthfulness, comicalstorm. All that was pointed out was that YouGov reputedly had a his...

Yes, it's semantics. Actual semantics. Which means "the study of how words differ ." Ineptly, you seem to want to say that I'm quibbling about words that mean the same, but that's manifestly untrue: words have meaning. Yours massively distort the actual position of people, always in a full...

Re: Freespace 2: Greatest game ever made?

Freespace 1 never grabbed me, tbh. I remember playing it and getting the lowdown on the Shivans in the info database long before they actually entered the plot. It just never felt like I was actually a pilot on a carrier like Wing Commander did. Freespace 2 was in most respects a massive improvement...

Re: European refugee crisis thread

Swedens reckless open borders politics is ended. We are signatories to the EHCR, and thus bound to accept refugees in ways the Swedish state now refuses to entertain. A state that, lest we forget, profits handsomely from many factors that have and continue to significantly contribute to their pligh...

Re: European refugee crisis thread

The Swedish blog Punschverandan has an interesting angle on the issue. I'll try to condense a few of his points into short, pithy paragraphs. The bold-facing is my own. Today, though, I want to aim the spotlight away from tax evasion and racist rhetoric. What I'd like us to remember is a general pri...

Re: European refugee crisis thread

No, in point of fact they'd last longer. If you have 10,000 immigrants per week, and you have 25,000 apartments, that means 40,000 people slotted into 25,000 apartments. Now while I'm no mathematician, I don't think it's unreasonable to entertain the idea of concentrating families of refugees denser...

Re: European refugee crisis thread

Once again, cosmicalstorm 's translations leave much to be desired. In 2011, almost 25000 flats stood empty . There is no indication that this has been mitigated. Just like the area where the now cleared Roma camp stood, that has and will continue to stand vacant and unused for anything productive. ...
