In for example this code:

void Sys_ShowWindow( bool show ) {
	::ShowWindow( win32.hWnd, show ? SW_SHOW : SW_HIDE );
}

What do the two colons before ShowWindow() mean?

It is called the scope resolution operator

Rather than give a long explaination of my own - google is your friend.

or see if you understand this explanation here..
