Off Topic / Homoloveuality! Let's discuss.

« on: October 19, 2013, 03:22:56 PM »

I am confused. Choice or not?
Someone brought it up, Mysteroo I think, that homoloveuality is not genetic. Dug around and found a site explaining it.

http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/blog/2013/06/identical-twin-studies-prove-homoloveuality-is-not-genetic/
I tried to find some good sources, but didn't. If someone finds anything link.

Anyway the article talks about a case where two twins were born, one being gay and the other not. Twins are supposed to have the same genetics, which these twins did but they had different loveual orientations. Then it starts talking about that in teen years, a lot of teens who admitted to being gay, in a few years went back to being straight like it was some sort of social phase.

What is going on.

Off Topic / Any C++ people? Need quick help.

« on: October 10, 2013, 10:42:55 PM »

1.    HANDLE hFind; //New Handle called hFind
2.    WIN32_FIND_DATA data;
3.
4.   string searchPath = "*.txt"; //Extension
5.
6.    hFind = FindFirstFile(searchPath.c_str(), &data); //"searchPath.c_str()" - converts char* to string I guess
7.    if (hFind != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
8.    {
9.        do
10.        {
11.            cout << ("%s\n", data.cFileName) << endl; //Print file names
12.            files.insert(files.end(), data.cFileName); //Adds each file name to a list.
13.        }while (FindNextFile(hFind, &data));
14.        FindClose(hFind);
15.    }
16.
17.    cout << endl << "File Name:";
18.
19.    getline(cin, userfilechoice); //Get file name from user, getline since cin alone only gets the first word, getline gets the whole line the user inputs
20.
21.   if (find(files.begin(), files.end(), userfilechoice) != files.end()) //Searches list "files" for the name the user inputs, if it doesn't find it this executes
22.    {
23.        cout << "File does not exist." << endl;
24.        Sleep(500);
25.        flagsremover();
26.        ClearScreen();
27.        main();
28.        return 0;
29.    }

Yes the variables/functions were defined before, this is just a part of the code.
The whole code compiles correctly and runs fine, except that the if statement skips. I am wondering why.
The problem is on line 21. It checks if the input from the user is inside a list called "files"
Stuff is added into the list with a loop on line 12. I'm using cFileName (char*) and stuffing it into a list (string).
No matter what the user inputs it skips the if statement, whether what they inputted is in the list or not.

If you don't understand that, my question is how exactly do I search a list for a string? If that's the way to do it, what's wrong? Is it that cFileName is a char*? But no errors are given that I'm blatantly converting char* to string when putting them into a list.

That are shockproof and waterproof? With good specs?

So far Galaxy Xcover 2 is the only promising one that's decent. Idk about Samsung S4 Active, looks like a friend phone that will die on the first drop.

Off Topic / Is society getting more and more sensitive?

« on: August 27, 2013, 03:04:55 PM »

No stuff storm please. Just debate if any.

I mean you see people becoming overly sensitive and making big deals out of jokes and such, acting like people should treat their opinions as gold or something. You can't have someone do something, without pissing someone off, there will always be that one guy who decides that they want to get offended.
"Hmm I'm offended, I should tell him that and make him feel bad."
"Oh you said 'monday' and you're white? Time to tell you how tribal your cracker ass is."

I can't be the only one who's noticed that in the past years people are getting more and more sensitive. Are people just developing new strategies and excuses to make themselves feel important or defend themselves? Looks like a trend or something.

Off Topic / Bunnies for my bunny generator. (Update + Program so far)

« on: August 22, 2013, 11:04:47 PM »

Here's the program so far;
http://www.mediafire.com/?qvujlyydymvjn6i
No it's not a virus. Feel free to scan. If too paranoid I'll put up the source code.
For now all it does is gives you a number on start up and checks to see what bunny you have. If your number is less than 5, you get the Void/Zombie bunny. If your number is from 5 to 15, you get the Red/Blue/Green bunny. If your number is from 15 to 30 you get the Gray/White bunny. If your number is from 30 to 100 you get the Purple/Cyan/Yellow bunny.
It also generates a name for your bunny, using two combinations from two different lists.
The number you got is in the top left corner, tiny.
Yeah it's basically nothing so far. Still needs animations + things to do.
------
Bunny generator, C# with animated bunny spires that will be generated with random colored bunnies + other abilities + random name.
If I manage to get it done I'll probably release it.

Pretty cool article I found that you guys should read. References at the bottom and it's pretty long.

Discuss about vegetarian being a healthy/unhealthy choice.
