Asterix, ViperX, someone... help.
They are, and you don't have to define them again unless you're overriding the parent class' behavior. (or defining a virtual function, whatever) It would make more sense for the parent class to load a bitmap from a path stored in a variable in the class (char *), and simply have child classes redefine that variable in their contructor. (Even if it's set in the parent class' constructor, the child class' constructor will be called after the parent class' is called.) Then simply create instances of your child class to create a new bitmap object with the custom bitmap (defined in the constructor of the child class).

Possible Microsoft error?
There have been lots of people unable to update Windows due to the fact that WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) fails to detect legitimate installations correctly 100% of the time. However, pirates have no problem, as they merely paste javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all') into their address bar (and press enter obviously) before loading the Windows Update site. ;)

Figured I'd come here to ask
He probably meant "this is what I'm looking at so far". According to their site, the mobo has a NIC built in (standard 10/100). Looking pretty good so far, what monitor size are you packing?

Asterix, ViperX, someone... help.
Can you post the definition of the BitmapObject and PaddleObject classes? Would make it a bit easier to understand what you're aiming for and where you're having an issue.

Hiding Folders from Explorer
Sounds like you didn't check the NTFS permissions. Go to the Security tab in the Properties dialog of a parent folder (of the hidden folder in question), then go to the Advanced dialog for the Administrators group, then go to the Owner tab, click on the Administrator group or your User account, check off 'Replace owner on subcontainers and objects', and hit Ok. Actually, you can do that for the entire drive (might take a while), and then you're guaranteed to be able to see any file physically present on the drive. If you don't have a Security tab, open any folder and go to Tools->Folder Options->View and uncheck "use simple file sharing" at the bottom iirc.

Best Bittorrent Program
It's not tracker-dependent, it's knowing the basics of how port forwarding works + having enough seeds on a given torrent. This was one of my highest ever speeds (before I realized Bittornado was a lame client): http://xs56.xs.to/pics/05476/tiger-ox86.png This was my friend updating WoW on his laptop on my network (Blizzard's downloader uses basically the same protocol as torrents): http://xs56.xs.to/pics/05476/WoW.png

Making multiple program entrypoints for various operating systems and calling your main program loop isn't really exceedingly difficult. Obfuscation for the win

gl\gl.h gl\glu.h gl\glaux.h Decent Windows-based C++ compilers come with them. (e.g. not DevC++) Or get them from someone who uses MSVC++ (6.0 or >). You only actually need gl.h, unless you plan on dumbing down your app (and making it a bitch to port) by using GLUT or something.

Best Bittorrent Program
Anything written in a compiled language (BitComet, Azureus), not gay scripting languages (Cohen's official BT client, Bittornado). The ones written using scripting languages fucking RAPE your CPU and memory on larger torrents (like 2 gigs+), where the ones written in compiled languages use much less system resources. I prefer BitComet, since you can keep track of multiple torrents at once, all inside 1 program that chills in your system tray, you can set individual upload/download rates for each torrent, <insert other common features>. Here's a pic: http://xs56.xs.to/pics/05471/pic0rz.png

Wireless Mimo
802.11n can reach up to 400 feet supposedly. That wireless standard has yet to be finalized, but some ballsy manufacturers are already putting out devices capable with one of the proposed versions of the standard. Also the speed drop off/range ratio is supposedly alot better (losing less speed as you move father away from the WAP compared to the a, b, and g standards).

zone alarm beats vac
Not spyware, it monitors what function calls other processes are using, and can prevent undesired behavior in those programs (such as a program launching another program, or attempting to read another memory-resident program).

coding a forum using SQL and php
The source code for stuff like PHPBB, IPB, Vbulletin, etc. is designed to run on a variety of setups and configurations (apache, mysql, php all have thousands of possible configuration combinations), so their source code has to take that into account... and it's generally pretty ugly looking. What I meant by table setups was the actual database. After examining how they stored their data, I could piece together mentally how each page would work, and what queries I would have to write to retrieve the data I would need for each type of pageview (index, viewing profile, viewing topic, etc.)

coding a forum using SQL and php
I wrote my own forums in PHP/MySQL for a group of my friends to use with one of their projects. Basically what I did was look at the table setups from IPB and PHPBB to see exactly how they organized the data, then I based my tables off a similar design. I certainly hope you're running apache/mod_php/mysql locally for development, since uploading gets to be quite annoying. :P You might want to check out how to use mod_rewrite as well, keeps your URLs looking clean and pr0.

creating keygens
One that I read a long ass time ago, but is still useful today: http://its.mine.nu/html/re/essays/kg-inject.html Same concept, just do it in a standalone program.

How to steal a database from an website?
... I seriously doubt he's going after like Bank of America or something's website. The only thing "encrypted" in a non-commercial site database would probably be password hashes for user accounts. For "stealing" a database, find a way to access to access their web administration interface (e.g. PHPMyAdmin for MySQL), or get shell access to the server and export it manually. Although the first option is probably more plausible... especially if you can exploit a poorly written site into including a remote file (if allow_url_fopen is on) and using show_source() to say, view their forum/site configuration files. Then you'd have a working user/pass to work with.

Sony gets owned by their own protection software.
Wow, Slashdot has only duped that story like 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Since it's hiding it from the API, you can use it to 'hide' hacks for any game. :|

Phpbb forums
If the guy who manages the site does daily/weekly backups, it'd take him like 2 minute to load a backup of the database and update the forums to the latest version. In my experience though, any site still running the old versions of PHPBB has extremely incompetent "admins". :P
