C++ help please!

Ah. I think I see what you're trying to do, and the answer is no, you can't do this in c++. You can use the preparser ## operator to create a discrete set a la: #define QVAR(i) q ## i Question QVAR(1), QVAR(2), QVAR(3); will give you variables q1, q2 and q3 of type Question. However, the...

I knew this would happen - I also got this monitor from egghead for $840 - $30 rebate shipped from egghead. Just came in today. Very nice. FYI, for some reason, EMS lists this as a 20" monitor - probably why ppl can't find it. Probably won't last long at that price. About half of the sites...

Anyone built the Audioreview.com DIY speakers?

Probably a good idea to go with what you're comfortable with. The AR kit is probably pretty good - don't know who designed it. As for particular drivers to look for (if you don't do the Peerless kit), here are some brands I've worked with: Dynaudio: High $$. Very good, and very expensive. They...

Haven't built these specifically, but have designed and built 6 different pairs on my own over the last few years. The Peerless woofer they use is a solid performer. The tweeters have been known to be mediocre. If I was you, I would look around the net for some more options - try hanging out...

Kingston 100-pak CDR for $16.99?

They are nation wide, but there aren't many B&M stores - Probably one near you if you live in a major metro area. No web ordering that I can tell. Just to corroborate timekeeper, I saw the 100 pack this weekend @the twin cities location. They also had 50 pack 16x tdk's for the same price...

First Time Builder - Need Links, Advice

Not too far from the machine I setup a few months back. Do the linux install first - that way you can mount your fat partitions and tweak stuff if you get into trouble later. Also make sure Redhat 7's version of XFree has support for your Radeon card - I think anything after 4.0.1 should be ok...

Putting together new system, open for comments. *UPDATED*

I picked up that case a few months back for about $100 shipped - try looking around a little. (great case btw). If you decide to keep the cdr option, z-buy has Plextor's 16/10/40 drive for about the same price ($247) shipped.

Definitely not C++ as a starter language. C would probably provide you with the smoothest transition from your Pascal background, and would provide a good backbone for learning C++. Unless you plan on doing embedded development, C opportunities are really limited, IME. OTOH, Java as a language...

WTF is academic version software?

If you're not a student, you can still find AcEd's at those big "computer warehouse" sales that come around. Don't know how vendors get ahold of them. Technically, probably not legal, but I've seen stuff like MSVC++ for $40 at these things.

Depends on what you're looking for - If you want easy setup go with Redhat or Mandrake as recommended by others. I've been using Slackware for 6+ years now. The installation is much smoother now than it used to be, but it still would require a lot of work if you're not already familiar with...
