What to Program...

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Do you saw the project named "Cooperative Linux" ? It allows (somehow) to run linux distribution under Windows XP kernel :)

Is it really important to stay up to date about things you can't expect to change? It's the same in Vista as in NT 3.51. They didn't get a complaint -> no change.

Is all the quoting necessary? Really, your right below the person your quoting, who only has one sentence. This is quite irrelevant....Why am I writing this....More tea....

Tea doesn't contain c8h10n4o2 does it? It was a different substance, right?

c8h10n4o2 is caffeine. Therefore, tea contains it. Tea is my friend.... 8-[

Coffee contains caffeine.. And I like waking up to a nice cup of coffee...

The phrase: "I wake up to a nice cup of tea.." just doesn't sound right to me.. :?

8) Hooray for off topic conversations?

Code: Select all

/* printf("Welcome to Windows 3.1"); */
/* printf("Welcome to Windows 3.11"); */
/* printf("Welcome to Windows 95"); */
/* printf("Welcome to Windows NT 3.0"); */
/* printf("Welcome to Windows 98"); */
/* printf("Welcome to Windows NT 4.0"); */
printf("Welcome to Windows 2000");

No no, I hear Vista is much different:

Code: Select all

char *ver[] = {
        "3.1",
        "3.11",
        "95",
        "NT 3.0",
        "98",
        "NT 4.0",
        "2000",
        "XP",
        "Vista"
};

printf("Welcome to Windows %s", ver[8]);

Microsoft would:

Code: Select all

char *ver[] = {
        "3.1",
        "3.11",
        "95",
        "NT 3.0",
        "98",
        "NT 4.0",
        "2000",
        "XP",
        "Vista"
};

printf("Welcome to Windows %s", &(ver + 8));
or some other horrible logic error... :)

char *ver_company[] = {

        "NT 4.0", 
        "2000", 
        "XP",

};

printf("Welcome to Windows %s", (os==user) ? ver_user[ver] : ver_company[ver]);
Guess this is a little bit better :twisted:
