I find this idea very interesting, wouldn't want to do it anymore though. Some years ago when I didn't had much pressure on me to work at certain hours, I worked with dreams to better induce lucid dreams. There I also found out that sleeping outside of the usual pattern makes it easier to 'wake up' in a lucid dream directly after minutes of laying down (though of course I need to be at least a bit tired for this). Normally it takes me at least half a hour to fall asleep. At some point my sleep pattern shifted from sleeping my eight hours a night to sleeping now and then for one or max. two hours but still around six, seven hours a day total though. As someone who likes to dream, this was simply awesome. Falling asleep fast and immediately starting to dream with increasing percentage of lucid dreaming. Well, of course it also had some drawbacks. At some point I didn't much cared for time anymore. I had no use for it. The only thing that still reminded me of it was of course the day and night cycle. Also since everyone else was sleeping, at night you couldn't do as much as you could while the sun is up. And if I didn't wanted to work or play with the computer, it was quite boring at night. I kept that up for I think around four month. After some time I wasn't so much interested in lucid dreaming anymore. I pretty much tried everything I wanted in dreams and well, it kinda got boring to control everything in them. So I stopped and got suprisingly quickly back into the usual nighttime sleep. Well, I guess that is somewhat what you meant with polyphasic sleep? On another note. If you do much physical labour the day, you will need your sleep so your body can regenerate enough. I think Polyphasic sleep might only be good for people with deskjobs or similar?

Anarchy doesn't necessarily has to be the chaos it is always attribute with. There is also a good kind of it (as it probably is with any idea, over time they just get corrupted by us). But of course it is easier to put them all under 'pure chaos' because otherwise they could be a serious threat to all authorities who would lose their job if the people ever find out they could do without them, maybe even better. Of course though, with the mindset and values we humans showed for the last several millennia it will probably end in chaos. Sadly so far we always needed someone to tell us exactly how to take a dump. Leaders are kinda the parents of adults but without the maternal feelings which always seem to end in them exploiting their adult-children. On another note, the only difference to today would be that the thug is employed by the brute and if you not subject your life to the brute, then the thug will kick down the door to your house and murder you. Good for you. Most aren't though. That is why fear is such a great motivator.

Seriously? Who watches (illegal) streamed movies anyway? I would prefer to download them in 480p+ instead of some crappy stream that I have to buffer anyway too. But the whole system in this world is crap anyway. The small guys get their life destroyed for tiny things likes this while many celebrities and the 'big guys' never have to lose anything at all, even thought most of their 'misdoings' could be called atrocities to mankind. I guess wealth will always create royalities.

I think if there is a hell, it is to be reborn into this world with 'lesser luck', endlessly.

Well, from today onwards greece is no more a democracy (if it ever was anyway) and has become a financial protectorate of the IMF and EU ready to be slaughtered. Unless of course it falls into a civil war.

I can't give you explicit code or examples, it is too long ago for me, so yeah only some general hints. If networking in C++ is too complicated for you, then you still need to learn more. I had the same problem. When I first came across 'sockets' I didn't even under- stood half of it. Well, half a year later or so after much programming, testing and building simple stuff for myself, it was far easier to understand. So, if you want to learn more try searching for c++ tutorials, simple as that. Most explain from a simple 'Hello World!' over file/stream operations up to of course networking and for example directx programming. In short, all you need, one step at a time. There are countless of them so I can't give you a specific ones. Just a quick search and you will find many useful websites with them. The best is to use several at once even if you might do the same thing again. Sometimes it is better to learn the stuff from many different angles/perspectives then only from one source. Also most good tutorials have example programs explained and coded for each chapter, so you then can try them out for yourself, learning by doing in short. Also useful is a bookmark (or a book) too to some C/C++ reference. They are always useful if you forgotten something or want more detailed information about a specific part you are currently working on. Well... also try to start with simple tasks and tools first. They don't have to be useful at first, simply to learn the mechanics. Play around, try to break the programs sometimes even, helps learning how to handle bugs that don't want to be found. My first selfmade 'program' was a small text based rpg game with a simple battle simulation. It was utterly stupid and badly made, but was fun to do nonetheless and hooked me up on C/C++ for quite some time. So start small and keep up climbing until you reach the programs you want to make. On another note, keep up the idea of cross plattform programing! There are not enough people who would still do that but it is dead useful for everyone else. On that matter netbeans probably should work out for you, I think there are several versions of it for each of the platforms?

Well, I'm sure you will learn about classes and objects soon enough in your class. It is easier to learn C++ if you have learned the basics that are C. Or at least it was for me. Well, netbeans, lets see... I think you actually only need to add new source and header files to your project and include the headers whereever you like and the rest like compiling and linking them in the right order and dependancies should be done by netbeans. So in other words, what you have done before (described in the edit part of your first posting) should be fine and working so long as you use netbeans to manage your project of course. Also the posted link of yours pretty much explains it all too just in different words then the one I posted. You could also try google for something like 'netbeans cpp tutorial', maybe you will find some nice tutorial about it all? Having examples explained and able to test them at once yourself helped me alot too.

This might be a bit late (probably?) but this might help you: http://www.cs.bu.edu/teaching/cpp/writing-makefiles/ The first parts explain what is done if you have a project with several source/header files. As you said, only declarations should be in header files. The implementation should be in seperated source files which then will be compiled into object files (.o) which in turn are linked together into the executable (or a library, whatever you want). If you use an IDE (like microsoft visual c++) it is easier then explained above (since you don't have to do the compiling and linking manually) but you will need to look up the IDE manual/tutorials for what to do to create and manage projects with many different files. Hope that was all right, it is quite some years ago I last done something with C/CPP.

Fortunately the random-insane decision core prevented this.

Unfortunately only I had a forcefield shielding me from the blast.

Fortunately I thought of a new topic and it is the medics video which is awesome!

Well, don't get mad at me, but I think it is still the same today. There are just different topics allowed and disallowed to doubt then before. You might not risk your neck today though, but your job, reputation and consequently your life. Nevertheless your post is what I meant too, just better phrased I guess.

Well yes, but for centuries too, the bible was widely only known to those who made shitloads of wealth out of the whole mystery around it. Or was it not like that? Can't remember, it is a long time ago I 'studied' religions. But don't get me wrong! I do believe that great minds like jesus or buddha were more then just 'normal humans' like you and me and that supernatural events, miracles or whatever you prefer to call it are possible. But I don't particular believe in something that was written in a completely different language such a long time ago (at least long in comparison to a human lifetime) and which went through countless generations with every single one maybe changing something on it... And as I said, it is only my personal thinking, doesn't necesserily have/has(?) to be right.

Well to say it with some elven words from Lord of the Rings: 'History became legend. Legend became myth.' I think (for myself only) many things of the bible simply got exaggerated over time and gone through to many hands and languages to be still the same stories that once might have happened. Especially since mostly only the history of the winner is kept alive.

The final number is the lowest number of all, which would be aero for you.

You can't have heads without tails. (Also, the word is "incidentally.") I believe the correct word is "brainwashing." Yes, I continue to hold out the hope that people who don't understand things like math and economics and basic human behavior will someday not be put in charge of nations. I guess we just have to differ on that. Cheers for the hint!

Games are a easy scapegoat to point at when somethings goes wrong again, as it usually does since the errors lie somewhere else but are never addressed because presenting scapegoats is far easier.

Fortunately that never happened to any of us.. I think.. I believe.. I hope...

Well, we could talk about what would need to happen for mankind to ever change from being driven by 'hatred, greed and envy' to being driven by 'compassion, love and charity' instead, but that would be kinda offtopic, I guess? Nevertheless it would be possible even without becoming borg (accidently though, if changing into 'something better' would mean not being human anymore, I would gladly do it). It would only take a few generations of the 'right kind' of education. Sadly this also makes it highly impossible since we humans don't even manage to have a working system for one generation so yeah... But well, gotta keep being optimistic, ey?

Fortunately I don't know what a lurking grue is, so if I don't know what it is, it does not exist.

Well, the classic anarchy only works on a experimental basis or small agricultural states. The idea was wonderful but it was still too crude to be useful on a greater scale. Since then though, many more advanced solutions were born, based on classic anarchy. I posted a great work that looks more closely into all of this some posts ago.

Damn you internet haha!

Haha, from the youtube videos comments: I wonder where it would not fit too. Maybe the scene in final fantasy VII where aeris dies? Actually I think it would still fit there. Hmm, maybe some other dramatic, sad death scene?

I'm not entirely sure but evolution is genetical adaption while adaption itself could be done by... everything?

I don't have a 'real' computer anymore ( ), only the laptop I currently use: Processor: 4,8 RAM: 4,4 Graphics: 3,0 Gaming graphics: 3,2 Primary hard drive: 5,2 Got another one for working which is more or less better then this one but it has linux running on it, so yeah.
