Was the code you're using made for Visual Studio? Because I know that Visual studio has applied a different syntax than traditional C++.

what the hell are you talking about

try compiling with visual studio 2012.

if i recall correctly visual studio 2010 lacks certain C++11 features, such as memory.h

No one in their right mind should use Linux for daily use. It's not that type of OS. It's mostly people bragging that they know a lot about computers because we obviously know Linux is for hackers and stuff. They purposely made it difficult as forget to navigate because we all know the harder it is to use something the more of a hacker you are.

forget linux.

lmao.

steam and most of valve's games are on linux as well as plenty of others.

linux mint is great imo.

although if you play lots'o games then there's really no point in shifting to linux. however if you care about free software, then sure.

1. Typical users don't need to use Xubuntu or whatever other names they come up with for every dime-a-dozen variation of Linux. Just because Windows 8 doesn't suit your needs doesn't mean that it's bad for everyone. Since everything needs signatures, Microsoft has strived to try and reach out to developers of software to make sure as much legitimate software as possible is ready to use with Windows 8.

2. You don't have to use the store app. You don't have to use apps at all. If you're all up in arms about it, by all means, install things the classic way. Microsoft isn't trying to erase the desktop interface or anything.

3. Overclocking never was and never will be a manufacturer-supported dealing. Microsoft has no obligation to deal with your overclocking issues.

i'm not talking about windows 8 software, i'm talking about non-microsoft signed OSes.

overclocking used to not break the system clock, but with windows 8's amazing debut this has changed lol.

Once again

Think typical user mmkay?

Just because it makes it a pain to use some outdated (or otherwise obsolete) third-party devices and software doesn't make the whole thing trash. If you need to use ARM or unsigned systems (nice thing to note is that common Linux platforms such as Ubuntu work fine on windows with secureboot) you just have to find the appropriate workarounds. If that means windows 7 or a non-windows system, then by all means. It still doesn't make Windows 8 (or secure boot) trash.

i'm not even much of a fan of ubuntu anymore because canonical wants to breathe down my neck all of a sudden.
if secure boot was a non-trash thing then i wouldn't have to make work arounds for it. i seriously dislike microsoft taking my entire system hostage because they want to control what i can and cannot boot.

and this is on top of the CPU clock being an absolute nightmare as well as the app store.

I cited the task manager because you attacked it for having an 'absolutely terrible ui that shouldn't even be there'. I made a point-specific defense. As for secure boot, I think it's actually a great idea for the common user who won't be using the BIOS anyways (konboot you derp). You can access the BIOS if you need to anyways, and there is a specific process you can follow to take the computer off of secure boot if you seriously need to access the BIOS more than once or twice ever.

no i was talking about the entire os's ui. it's like constantly playing oblivion.
the fact that only signed things can boot through secure boot is horrible, and it's made even worse by the fact that keys have to be signed by microsoft. on top of that, ARM devices get completely forgeted because secure boot is mandatory on them and cannot be disabled.

edit: i'm not saying that secure boot is the equivalent to doomsday because there are ways to circumvent it, but that doesn't make it a good thing either.

Kaph is also full of it. The new task manager is far better, you can see measurements of not only Cpu and memory usage of every process, but disk usage and network utilization as well. There are literally no downsides.

Sorry for being completely off-topic, but I had to type this as Kaph just needs to get his head out of the ground. He falls under one of those 'me no like change' caveman people.

if i didn't like change then why would i switch to linux mint 16 as my primary os?
the fact that the ui sucks is a really minor downside when you compare it to everything else.

secure boot is loving terrible.
considering you're citing how fancy the new task manager is, i feel like you don't really know much about what i'm talking about.

absolutely terrible ui that shouldn't even be there. sure i can use desktop mode, but that doesn't really excuse the fact that it's crap.
it's a microsoft product. secure boot / UEFI, EEE and AARD code can suck my richard.
it uses the cpu clock instead of an on board clock. over/under clocking your cpu changes how fast or slow the os clock runs and that's terrible.
everything about the app store. literally everything.

it's so bad it drove valve away from windows and they even joined the linux foundation. seriously.

on topic:
kill everything HP- related because it's bloatware.
keep the synaptics stuff because that's touchpad related.
kill spotify because i've had weird focus issues with it in the past.

wow are we still on the win8 hate bandwagon?

with good reason lmao.

maybe if you loving tried it first, you could actually like it.

i'd rather not contaminate my hdd with it.

Jesus forget I don't give a bag of richards what you think of Windows 8. If you don't like it, don't post, you dumb ape.

kill all unneeded processes, and if you don't know which you don't need, screenshot your taskmanager's processes tab.

the fact that you're using windows 8 is an issue. you should fix that first.

windows 8 is a horrible os.

try killing all unneeded processes and see if that fixes anything.
