Depends on how you define equal, I see many people talking about equal rights and the main thing that comes out of there mouths is they want equal rights for 'them' or their 'people' they tend not to give a crap about anyone else, I agree that capitalism by itself isn't equal but it certainly seems to be pretty efficient at sorting things out.

Sounds extremely and unnecessarily complicated, I do think there's nothing wrong with the main voting systems, the biggest thing wrong with them is that once a politician is elected citizens have no rights and can't take any steps to get rid of the leaders or block their laws until the next election. A classic example is here in the UK there's lots of talk about a referendum on the EU and the Scottish independence referendum, the politicians are actually wanting to ask peoples opinions on it and the people in power are doing absolutely everything to slow it down because they know how people will vote.

The last time we had a referendum was on the awful AV system which I actually voted no on.

Does anyone know of any up to date syntax for GLFW keyboard and mouse input? Or would you recommend something else? I'm searching around but I think I could use some help on this one.

Yeah we had this awhile ago newbies should always be wary of links like this, I almost got caught out because the guy was actually asking people to post retrieval addresses and everything so it seemed more legitimate than the usual cons but when they start asking you to create accounts at places that's when you should think twice.

Yeah Sad looking at it now I can understand it better, it's a shame because if someone made legit versions of this it would do very well I suspect.

You see this kind of bullshit doublespeak from almost every single self-appointed leader out there, the sad thing is, no matter how much it's pointed out to them people still want to believe it.

Bah, does anyone know some good tutorials that show you how to combine OpenGL and C++ while I'm searching for them myself? The OpenGL tutorials are great and I have an easy time drawing basic stuff on it now but I need to look up how to properly combine everything so I can interact with the shapes I make Cheesy

Bitcoin is getting a bit worrying at times for me I'll admit, but that's why I'm so glad it's open source, now anyone can create an alternate currency, I'm wondering if it would be possible for someone to create a wikipedia style currency which anyone can edit but people will of course argue that would be chaos Cheesy

Nothing to be considered easy or reliable, amateurs have been struggling with various issues on rocket motors and so forth for decades.  And the rpg or "bazooka" is far more specialized and dangerous to the operator.  No one should ever try to do that with anything home made.  Actual equipment, before the rocket even begins to leave the sleeve, the burn is over.  If not, it's right in your face...

That's why you find a way to remotely set it off so it doesn't blow up in your face.

Hmm, does anyone know of any good examples or tutorials for Codeblocks that show you how to code interaction with the shapes you make?

I may have just found what I needed Cheesy just needed to look for a bit longer.

I think what will truly scare the living shit out of people is if someone manages to successfully 3D print a one shot rocket launcher or something.

While I'm completely open minded I actually went and did this to make sure I was reading it right.



You may want to not call it 'virtual reality' but just games for now because I'm fairly sure that the virtual reality stuff that most people think of doesn't exist yet, the closest thing I've seen happen is with the vocaloid stuff and Hatsune Miku with light projection, headsets that put a visor on your face don't really count for me unless you basically feel stuff happening around you and can touch objects etc.

7520  Economy / Goods / Re: WTS - Frontier Space Manga, Digital Goods, Necklace for sale! More to come! on: May 15, 2013, 01:33:20 PM
Got the gemstones today! Will begin making the settings for them and also posting up photo's of the gemstones themselves, I should note, these are all the same size 3mm round and natural gemstones, I'm always going to double check that kind of thing from now on just to be safe Cheesy There are four in total, Garnet, Peridot, Emerald and Sapphire, all of these will be going up for sale, these are Cabachon's and have a flat bottom and round top, making them much easier to set because of the shape and so on.
