SPL[^]- Shakespeare Programming Language. Fun, interesting, and totally pointless.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem, but I sure am :-O I just cannot tell the difference between Prev and Next at the bottom of the page. Sometimes I would think it is Next Page (older thread) and Previous Page (newer thread), other time I'd think it as Next thread (newer) / Previous Thread (older), or sometimes even other intepretations. Anyone else got this problem too?

Many recent / current games make use of D&D rules. If i'm not wrong it has evolved to generation 3 (games like Knight of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Night, Ice winddale etc). Even many MUDs (multi user dungeon) make use of the rules (or a slightly modified version). :cool:

Recently I just purchased an Ipaq, which till now I must say i'm still rather satisfied with it. Anyway, i'm just wondering if the Ipaq can be made into a phone given the necessary hardware to read the sim card. Anyone seen such apps? (oh, and does such hardware even exist?)

How do you find the filesize of a page (hosted on another domain) without triggering the "Access Denied" error? I came up with a few methods, none of which works: 1. using XMLHTTP objHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); objHTTP.Open("head", "someurl", false); size=objHTTP.getResponseHeader("Content-Length"); this gives access denied as the url is on another domain. 2. Using iframe and point to the site, then using document.fileSize gave the same error too. Please advise. Thanks

Found this funny comic in the local papers, so i thought i might share this with u :) http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2004/ft040301.gif[^]

probably has improved since then :cool:

I tried many (Download Express, FreshDownload, Download Accelerator, etc.etc.) and likeLeechget[^] the most. Very nice interface, and its free :)

just wondering... does any worldly-wise CPians know how does a packet which a SMTP server sends to a POP server looks like? i've always wanted to write an application which can send out mails without getting thru a intermediate smtp server... some mail client [like foxmail] supports for this feature called send direct, meaning it resolve the hostname [say yahoo.com] via a specified DNS server and sends out the mail etc anyway it'll be great if someone writes an article on creating an smtp server and explain those messy details :) {Edit}I've done a study on SMTP and realize that for mail to be relayed the SMTP server connects to the receiving server using the SMTP protocol. Does this mean if you want to program a pop3 server the smtp protocol must also be programmed into it?{/Edit}

Is there any way where one can migrate a process / thread from one computer to another connected computer and have the results returned to the first computer for load balancing? Take for example I run two extreme memory-intensive program, minesweeper and solitair, and the program will migrate one of the processes to the other computer (which is running nothing) for better performance. If this is not possible on pre-programmed applications like those stated above, then is there a way where new applications can be written such that this is possible? thanks in advance

not really :P we get to choose what we wear. kinda fun and cool... we even get a cubicle to ourself :)

I'm currently on an internship with IBM through my school and the project i'm given was to set up a hyper-performance cluster [HPC] using some boxes... so i played with rocks, oscar, mosix, excat, and csm and well, as much as they are cool, they only run on linux [i think]. anyway anyone knows of any clustering tools for windows so that i can set one up at home?

if you're talking about algorithms there are quite a few sites online which hosts competition every now and then, like ACM and USACO. i cannot remember the link offhand so you've to google them up.

how does one hide a folder from other people? http://www.codeproject.com/tools/FolderHide.asp[^] says it makes the folder act like a shortcut to system folders (like Recycle Bin, Control Panel, etc.), but sadly, the tool came without source code.

Powerful WYSIWYG editor... (hopefully not a repost). Reminds me of dreamweaver :~ http://iakt.rdsnet.ro/demo/ktmlDemo/[^]
