Re: how to avoid triggering many click event when I click o

If you haven't already read the tutorials please do so, http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/example019.html Is for the mouse control such as a click and should be able to guide you on how to do it. If you already have then I would suggest altering your code to make it only return that the mouse is ...

Re: Multiple terrain scene nodes won't create collision poin

quick thought. the triangle selector may be created relative to the scene node so they will all start at 0,0,0 and make the same exact triangle selector placed on top of each other. What you may need to do is translate each triangle selector before adding it into the meta selector. That way each tri...

Re: New phpBB3 Forum

For people that complained about the new format you can go to the user control panel -> board preferences and change your board style to subsilver2. This is basically what the old forum looked like. I didn't read every post in this thread to see if someone suggested this already or not but I figured...

Sigh... all a hack consists of is getting access to a system I don't care about the data part that is just a matter of clever programming which isn't that difficult, most systems follow the same basic layouts and you can easily do keyword searches to determine the usefulness of a file or database. I...

They have computers that control airports, airplanes, satellites (dealing with threats to themselves and working with each other to perform tasks such as taking pictures and things like that), cars, UAVs (not remote controlled but fully autonomous ones), even ones that interpret language, analyze wa...

c++ was made in 1985... I believe a more powerful and easy to use language will most likely replace it before it reaches 50. Also technology may shift completely in the next 20 years to something completely different than the modern systems and languages... quantum computing and things like that. I ...

Computers are as smart as you make them. They are also very good and long tedious work such as analyzing things. It isn't far fetched to think that a hack can be automated these days considering how much technology has advanced. I wonder, why do you say it is not possible? Script kiddies "hack&...

yes, though damage would not be caused until its determined this is the assailant. For the botnet just kill and delete the program thats attacking. Thats why it will collect data primarily then destroy it if there is sufficient data saying this person is hacking. Also I don't know of any botnet type...

I would dedicate an entire server to automatically hack the source of the intrusion. This would be combined with current security measures but primarily be used to personally prevent any future attacks by this person and to acquire as much data about them as possible to file a lawsuit and have then ...

Automated Lawn Mowers

So I was wondering if anyone here has one of the automatic lawn mowers that are out on the market these days. I read that most are based on a perimeter wire and it uses that to determine its path and where to mow. Has anyone seen one of these work and how well do they mow?

Due to complexity of making this calculation I have decided to instead use a different method. I now convert the latitude and longitude from gps to UTM coordinates. UTM is a flat mapping in meters which allows me to get the position on the map and then raise the height based on the gps data. This el...

I would personally recommend getting a well rounded CS degree. Focusing on just graphics limits you to just graphical applications. If you want to focus on one only do OSes because that is an all encompassing subject and knowing how an OS works means you can write any application on top of the OS in...

yeah... script kiddies are fun to watch. Chances are they were dumb and all of their ip and computer information was logged and the ISP's are back-tracing their data to their homes and will shortly arrest them. Most of them are dumb and don't go to a public location and public wifi to hack from so t...

3D Transformation Question

So, I have a unique ish problem I am trying to solve efficiently (IE I need it to run on 300,000 points in real time (3 times per second minimum)). To do this I planned on using matrix transformations. So this is the data I have, from GPS coordinates I calculate the position on earth surface in mete...
