Dear game developers

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:27:19 -0500

Where the fuck are tits in video games? Seriously. You know that's what we want, you already rate games "mature" or 17+ with violence and foul language. Is there some unspoken no-nudity rule or something?

Easiest way to learn Visula Basic 6.0

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 09:11:12 -0500

Dear brothers,

I was wondering , which is the easiest way to learn Visual Basic 6.0 ? I have got few Books but all are incomplete in some way , some books focus on GUI Fundamentals , and other on Codinngs..etc

I need a book which teaches both simultaneously and fast, as I have got very less time(my exams are round the corner,VB 6.0 is taught in the course i have been enrolled)

Or is there any other Good way? VB is really detailed, so any tips and advises, brothers....

Till now I have covered the Basics of the GUI of VB 6, but I still need to learn Coding nicely as it the heart.

So please can anyone tell me how to learn VB as soon as Possible!

Thanks.

Sager Vs. System76

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:32:24 -0500

Has anyone ever heard of System76. They are a computer manufacture that build nothing but Linux products such as cameras and so on. My question is has anyone ever owned a systen76 laptop. I am thinking about getting one, but i don't want to buy a computer that comes with shitty tech support and over-priced hardware. And are they better than sager. I looked at sager and they seem to be over-priced as well. Which one would be the best to buy a computer from. I looked at some reviews on both and you find good one's just as much as the bad ones. Thanks

Gnome wallpaper slideshow

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:08:17 -0500

So AlcariTheMad mentioned that he wanted a feature like the wallpaper slideshow on Windows 7:
[code]
a bit late: http://imgur.com/ztm4R
my netbook's wallpaper
because i haven't figured out how to make gnome switch backgrounds every 10 minutes like win7 does
s/does/can
do you know how to change it from the command line?
no
i'm sure you could write a script to change it and then just make it a cron job
probably
but i cba to right now[/code]

So there i am, sitting bored in my digital design class, when i decide to write this.

Put this script in a folder, and your wallpapers in a folder within the script's location. Not too complex :)

[code]
#!/usr/bin/python

import os
path = "/path/to/your/wallpapers/without/the/last/slash"

# sets the wallpaper
def setwall(imgpath):
#thanks marshal_mellow
os.system("ln -sf "+imgpath+" "+path+"/../wallpaper")
#this didnt work.
#os.system("gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "+imgpath)

# get POS (lol) get position of wallpaper cycle
def getpos(pfile):
try:
f = open(pfile, "r")
position = int(f.read())
f.close()
except IOError:
position = 0

return position

# set the new position
def setpos(pfile, position, debug=False):
f = open(pfile, "w")
f.write(str(position))
f.close()

# put it all together...
def cycle(path, debug=False):
files = os.listdir(path)
position = (getpos("position.txt") + 1) % len(files)
setpos("position.txt", position)
setwall(path+"/"+files[position])

# and you've got a wallpaper cycler!
cycle(path)
[/code]

then the cron script:

[code]* * * * * /usr/bin/python /path/to script.py[/code]

If you have issues with cron, use google. It's very... very picky.

Of course, AlcariTheMad came up with his own solution:
[quote]
you guys are inefficient: __import__('os').system('gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /home/alcari/Dropbox/Desktop/'+__import__('random').choice(__import__('os').listdir('/home/alcari/Dropbox/Desktop/'))) # replace '/home/alcari/Dropbox/Desktop/' with the location of your images

HTML5

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:51:35 -0500

Has anybody played around with it yet? I think it's going to be a pretty big deal. Not only is it directly competing with flash (which i've never liked due to it basically being the platform for internet commercials), but actually requires more skill to use than standard HTML which I think will weed out a lot of the wannabe wysiwyg "web developers" and land the real talent some good jobs.

Hell I might give ICV an HTML5 makeover just for the hell of it. What are your thoughts?
