Expelled - Explosive? What do you think? I was reading about some anti-matter research when I saw an ad talking about an upcoming movie called "Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed" with Ben Stein. I thought it'd be some kind of intellectual comedy, but after watching the preview, I saw that...

Ambient Occulsion vs Shadows? Quick question, I've been doing a little studying of Ambient Occlusion, and am really a fanatic of the realism created by it. My question is, basically, can Occlusion substitute for shadows? It seems that it makes light and dark of the situation ve...

Stupidity again? Looking at the code below: namespace GameEngine { Kernel::Kernel() { memman = (MemoryManager*)malloc(sizeof(MemoryManager)); memman = new(memman) MemoryManager(); //or memman = ::new(memman) MemoryM...

Stupidly retarded... But neccessary. And I'd prefer not to get talked out of this one, because I don't really have an option. And "ditching" the design to make abstract-C++-ness happy can't be a solution. How do I call constructors/destructors on objects...

Are Polygons in OpenGL Divided? During a recent arguement with my friend, I could not prove to him that OpenGL divided polygons into triangles. We argued on this, because I believed if he calculated sprites out into triangles rather than quads, then passed them, he'd get a...

Working with 64-bit... I'm just wondering the best way to go about having C++ code working on both 64 and 86 architecutres. Right now what I'm thinking is having a #define on the major types. #ifdef 64BIT #define int long #define float double #endif ...

A naive economic, recession fixing question Quote:Original post by LessBread The fairtax is another gimmick to fool people into going along with massive tax cuts for the super wealthy. You want a fair tax system? Jack up the top rates to the 70% rate they were back in the 1960's. Then pay dow...
