The keys it is sending appear to be in pairs, in sets of 16, if you concatenate them you get the 32bit entire key. All of the keys are presented in hexadecmial format, you will notice none of the letters go above f. Most of the keys sent en

I taught my 9 year old sister how to program, at a very basic level, using PHP. She understood the simplest parts, variable assignment, simple loops, errors, if statements (children seem to understand these naturally, since she is always sa

In which way is Putio similar to Puta other than that they both start with the same three letters? The pronunciation is completely different, Puta is pronounced 'pooh - ta' where as Putio is 'put - eye - oh' or if pronounced by a native spa

It was really big for a while, had in excess of 200,000 players on at a time, then poor decisions on part of the company who runs them and being bought out by another company caused the game to be less popular than it was. Currently it stan

I was surprised too when they decided to switch, I'm a ten year veteran since RSC, so Java has always been the way I have thought of that game. Even the company name, JaGex, is an abbreviation of 'Java Game Experts.' They have released some

Don't forget Runescape, one of the biggest MMORPG's in the world, which uses Java for it's 3D front end client, but even they will be gone soon; they're moving to HTML5.

I would be more than willing to code for them on the spot (or even for free over the course of a week) - but I do however agree, there seems to be some prevalent notion that the only intelligent people in the world are those who went to uni

I could not agree more, I know from past experience that being part of a group of peers whom you feel value your input can be a very rewarding experience, to say that it is meaningless would be to say that he didn't care at all. They have a

I don't honestly have a response to this, thus far my comments have been based upon opinion, do you have a link to Sublime Text? I feel the only way to truly decide will be for me to install it and try it myself for a week and then attempt

But here you reverse the burden of action, if every person was born death, as if the metaphor is applied to reality, then surely, the others go out of their way when they could be composing incredible symphonies all along?

I perfectly agree with you that using a quality IDE allows you to achieve all of those things and I don't argue that features such as autocomplete (and I believe you touched on macros) can be extremely useful. But I still pose the question,

Mostly PHP at work, with anything from pure php to zend or codeigniter (both of which don't have correct syntax highlighting in the IDE we have to use there.) When I get home it's anything from C++ to Java, but occasionally in my spare time

I have in fact tried and succeeded in writing Java without an IDE, but in all honesty, I believe your using it as an example says more about the overly verbose nature of the language than the tool of choice.

Oh, I agree, the syntax highlighting does help when I'm reading back through it, but in the act of actually coding I find it a distraction, I prefer not to look while I code and the colours draw my eyes.
