Looks like Spoonlicker is back!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Since you opened this thread anyway... I started using Linux again, with KDE4.
And Jesus Christ, Kwrite has the most disgusting highlighting I've ever seen.
Installed Doxygen too... which reminds me: hey chrisname where can I see your kernel sources?

(If Spoonlicker spams this thread, I'll enable PM's.)
I'd like to know what SL's obsession with trolling us about pointers is.
Maybe Spoonlicker is a secretly a bandwidth test or something?
SL is a 'faggot' (might as well use his favorite word) who likes attention. He never got attention from his mom apparently. I mean he is a guy that claims he is a girl that he used a fake picture as his girl persona. General rule, as I've been told, when it comes to the internet, the more you argue something the less true it most likely is. The longer I've been around the more it seems to be true too. So I still stand by it being a guy because he is arguing he is a girl too much. I don't think (and sorry to pull her into this) Albatross would argue so much about her sex. It is almost like SL is trying to make us hate spammers and girls, but it too ignorant to realize no one cares about his alleged sex, we only care that he is spamming the boards and making it hard to help those who actually want and need help.

SL says he doesn't like OOP, then learn Assembly and shut up already.
I'm confused why nearly all his spam posts contain something along the lines of "want to learn" or "teach me". That's not generally a phrase you find in spam. Combined with some of his real posts, I wonder if he's just really frustrated because he's having troubles following in class.

Secondly, I'm very curious to why he would choose this forum to stalk. We're not the biggest community (how many people actively visit? 20?), the damage is minimal and most of us here are mature enough not to give a damn. The only reason I could think of is that he's an actual member of this forum that sometimes gets bored, makes an undercover account and trolls, but even that doesn't make sense considering the last round of spam because it was simply too stupid to be anyone from the forum.

Mostly, I just pity the guy. He's clearly troubled. I "get" trolling and I "get" spamming up 300 topics in 10 seconds by using the mass-click abuse. Now, due to the new forum protection, he has effectively wasted over an hour to fill only half of the front page of the lounge and slightly messing up a handful of real topics. The active topics are still on the front page, effectively reducing his damage to zero.

I'm certain he's already reading this on a new "undercover" account, eager to see the responses his nonsense evoked. So, spoonlicker, if you're here: why the cplusplus forum, and why bother spending over an hour on something twicker will clean up in less than a minute of work?
I must say I'm surprised this thread wasn't destroyed yet. (troll-feed)
Wonder if twicker would let me take on the job of cleaning SL crap from the forums. I'm on 24/7 pretty much, would be my only job, and I'd do it free of charge as I hate spammers/greifers/etc. This would be an easy job as we seem to only have one with DID.
Yeah, I've been using Linux again recently too. openSuse 12.1 + xfce. A silly thing happened to me today. I had two windows partitions C and D. D was unused, so I deleted it and expanded C (from windows). When I booted suse it crashed into some sort of fail mode. It couldn't find my nvidia drivers (or run X11), it couldn't connect to the net. I then removed D from fstab and now it's all okay.

Linux installations tend to go crazy for me over time. I wonder why that is..

Oh, wait. Was that off topic?
I'd prefer having reports being more influential. To some degree, they auto-ban the user if they get a report or two, but apparently that doesn't work after the account has X number of posts.

If the weight of a report was based on number of posts/age of account, I think we'd get a pretty decent way to clean the real trouble-makers by ourselves, without giving too much control/power to individual users.

I have 3 drives (2TB, 260GB, 80GB) 2TB is vista, 260 is Ubuntu, and 80 is just for my programming while under Ubuntu.
@ hamsterman: Nice coincidence, I'm using openSUSE too.
It seems pretty polished, although their repositories are lacking a bit.
Oh well, you have to be happy with what you have to be happy with.
I wish I could measure my disk space in TB lol. Just installed Ubuntu 12.04, then I remembered that meant I had to go though that WLAN Printer driver mess again...
since your were talking about kde4... what do you think about KDevelop?

I can only comment that I very much dislike the default syntax highlighting that Kwrite, Kate and KDevelop use.

Otherwise I don't have any real experience using KDevelop, and I'm looking forward to learning it. A while back I used to use Kate for multiple files and its terminal to run make. I suppose KDevelop could be a better choice?
On Linux, I usually use Vim for editing, git for version control and rake as a much better make alternative. Though I haven't ever actually tried KDE. (I'm one of those strange people that likes Unity).
I just tried to compile a simple C++11 program in KDevelop 4.2, but it only seems to understand C++98 and Qt, and I have no idea how to let it know I'm feeding it C++11 code.

@ hanst99: I don't understand the appeal of Vim, could you enumerate the reasons why you prefer it to a modern graphic editor with menus and file tabs?
Is there anywhere where you can add compiler flags in KDevelop? If so, you could add the flag -std=c++0x (-std=c++11 when g++ 4.7 comes out) and if you have an up-to-date version of g++, then you should be able to compile a lot of it just fine.

Also, I don't quite get the appeal of Vim either. It's good, but it's a rather simple text editor and it's not great.

@Catfish - in any file editor I would end up using hotkeys anyways. And Vim hotkeys (and commands) are IMHO far easier to use. I am using 9 workspaces, so if I am actually editing 2 or more files parallely I am just running multiple instances of Vim. If I just need to do a quick lookup (e.g. in a header while editing a source file), I just open a split window. But it's a personal thing really - you try it, and then you like it or you don't. I don't think there's such a thing as a text editor that everyone will accept equally.

Well, okay. Vim is probably my favorite command-line text editor. For programming, though, I prefer a lightweight but rather extensible IDE. My 2ยข.

Nope. You can't even change the compiler.
