I would recommend Arch if you like slackware and gentoo.
These days I like Debian. I'm past my "Look, I compiled it with exactly the features I use and nothing else and now my system does everything one billionth of a second faster" phase and well into "My computer is fast enough, I just want it to work and not waste my time."
Eh, Arch is a binary rolling release distro. You don't have to compile things yourself unless you want to unless it's a package through AUR (user made packages), and that's easy to do as well.

I was recommending Arch because it was basically Gentoo without the compilation ( aka a stripped down install where you choose every single thing you want)
C(++) question. Okay so what the hell, precisely, is a char * const foo[] supposed to be. I get that in general it's an array of strings, but what the hell does the const apply to?
I was always taught to read right to left when working out const-ness, so a char * const would be an immutable pointer to a mutable character, and a char const * (or const char *) would be a mutable pointer to an immutable character, but how the hell does array suffixes play into this?
I ask because the prototype for, I think, execv() is void execv(const char* file, char* const argv[]), where argv is (natch) the argv passed to the new main(), with the last item in the array being a null pointer, but I cannot for the life of me work out the right way to set up the samned variable, because if I just try to do, say, char* const *foo = new char*[ARGCOUNT], I can't actually do foo[0] = "cmd.exe" or whatever, says I can't assign to a const.
Well you should be able to pass a char*[] to it, the compiler will automatically promote to const where it can. Essentially it's an immutable array of mutable strings

I was addressing his complaints about the compiling thing. "Gentoo without all the compiling" is usually how I describe Arch to other people.
Of course, these days I think it has a basic installer (AIF) instead of doing everything from writing fstab to manually configuring your network (wpa_supplicant used to be such a bitch without lots of hand-holding).

Const in a function prototype is just an explicit way of saying that the function does not change that input and as others have said you can, and in almost all cases will, pass a non const variable to the function.
Man, you guys have been busy.
My latest endeavors have included a total immersion into CoffeeScript for web dev.
I also may have inadvertently joined a startup doing Silverlight (fuck me). It's not bad, I just don't find .NET stuff very exciting.

I looked at coffeescript when I started up with node, but decided I'll stick to javascript for the moment(I like it, so sue me!).
Coffeescript is certainly on my to do list though.
Ugh this is such a pain in the ass..... Trying to run my generated code from my program, but I don't really know any of VB so I can't tell how to get it working...
Error 1 The file ./images/a.jpg is not part of the project or its 'Build Action' property is not set to 'Resource'. C:\Users\honky\Documents\program\testgenerators\programTestApp1\programTestApp1\MainWindow.xaml 351 15 programTestApp1
No idea what that means... lol. I passed this on to the guy who wrote the generator. Hopefully he knows.
VB though right? It shouldn't be ignoring that, but maybe it is.
Try changing the path to "images/(thefile)" instead. Some thinking makes me wonder that the . probably isn't being parsed and just being passed directly as a string literal.

I am thinking payment counts for calendar months? Linode bills by the month on the month, so it would be convenient to be in line with that. Would this be an issue? Would it be better to deal with tracking and expiring on arbitrary dates?
Admin access: the ability to see all files and database records if desired is possible. I'm sure people know full well going into this that when they don't own their box they are at the mercy of administrator ethics. I'm a totally ethical guy and won't be snooping into your stuff unless you want me to. So the issue is (a) that this is still just made clear so no complaints and (b) if I drag on another to help with admin stuff, who do I bring on? I'm gonna need references and shit!
But seriously, if you are interested in being an alternate administrator, PM me. Give me as much relevant experience as you can, working with Linodes is a bonus and I'd prefer people with a track record of holding down a job where financial/medical ethical integrity was shown. :winky: Don't want admin drama or I'll just do it myself!
Yeah I'd say billing wise on the month, maybe have a certain cut off if you pay on the last week you get rolled into next month. As for admin access, yeah I'd assume so since we'll probably need to do backups anyways in case of a rogue process or something takes down the node in some way (my friend took down a VPS when he tried to do a cron job I have no idea how the fuck he did that).

@urahonky whenever you add new resources (images/sounds, etc) to a project using Visual Studio, if you want to reference them in the manner you did above you have to find the item in the solution viewer (you did add it to the project, right?), view it's properties, and set the build action to "resource". This specifies how the resource is compiled in the resulting assembly, which allows your path reference to work.
This has bitten me in the butt so many times
There are other build actions for resources (content, embedded resource) but I'm not well-versed as to what those changes mean.
Yeah I'd actually just copied the folder over to the project, and for some reason I was unable to reference them. Viewing the properties for them only allowed me to change the name of the folder.
Paypal money to dmajor@gmail.com, $5/mo gets you access, anything over that will be a balance for future months. (People are typically sending in $10/$20). If the rate changes I'll give you a heads up, keep in mind that it is an estimation at the moment and it may change in the early setup stage.

Good stuff, @zeeny!
Looks like I have some admin fun times tonight. Will keep people posted.

Yup! Something with more uptime than my old pc under my desk

You can always const something, but without stupid hacks you can't unconst something.
Also, the shared hosting thing sounds neat but I already have a Linode. Let me know if you need help or anything though.
Got the web, database, some related tools sorted, currently working out the mail and certs.
I don't know why I like setting up a fresh server, but I do.

It's fun to do!

<Image Width="35" Canvas.Left="590" Canvas.Top="24"> <Image.Source> <BitmapImage DecodePixelWidth="35" UriSource=".\images\RightArrowButton.jpg" /> </Image.Source> </Image>Where do I put my images folder in order for something like this to work? Or am I doing that wrong as well? Should they be double slashes?
And sometimes while you'll see something like this: "..\..\..\..\..\something.jpg"
Yeah still doesn't work. I've even tried just placing the image everywhere in my folder to hopefully get a hit. :P
No idea what that means... lol. I passed this on to the guy who wrote the generator. Hopefully he knows.

cshtml confuses AND arouses me
Have you used anything similar? Like rhtml/erb?
cshtml is a lot like rhtml, except weird and bad.
