<moralcode> in the us, but not from the us?
<pepp^> yeah
<moralcode> would be nice to have a flat in a scyscraper in NY some day
<moralcode> sky
<pepp^> haha.
<moralcode> ;)
<pepp^> moralcode: I live in starbucks in nyc not in skyscraper
<moralcode> hmm, you are a hobo? :)
<pepp^> flat in a skyscraper costs over a few millions in NYC. ou have any idea?
<moralcode> i know
<moralcode> was just dreaming
<moralcode> budget alternative: make walls of plasma-screens and show view over NY from a skyscraper ;)
<moralcode> its all about perception, it doesnt matter if its real or not :)
<moralcode> as long as it fools me
<pepp^> moralcode: thats a waste of money
<moralcode> well, a lot of things are a waste of money
<moralcode> buying candy is a waste of money
<moralcode> but people do that anyway
<Chr|s> Stealing it is much more cost effective
<Chr|s> ;-P
<Chr|s> ?
<moralcode> hehe
<moralcode> until you get caught by a body builder
<moralcode> then its never gonna be effective again
<pepp^> moralcode: i am saying false perception is waste of money. No joy.
<pepp^> moralcode: candy provides utilization for people who eat it. or else they are stupid to buy it.
<moralcode> you might be right
<moralcode> might or may hmmm
<moralcode> when does one say might?
<moralcode> nevermind
<pepp^> I say might when I could have said may or vice versa
<james-> Might is right.
<CStubing> I have a flat in a skyscraper in NY
<pepp^> CStubing: you dont' own it?
<CStubing> if you count a 5th floor walkup as a skyscraper :D
<pepp^> CStubing: you still don't own it?
<pepp^> do you?
<james-> <anecdote>I remember one C++ standards meeting where we spent 5 or 10 minutes debating whether to use "may" or "might", ended up changing from "might" to "may" at my recommendation.</anecdote>
<CStubing> no
<berty> and if you count a closet for a flat
<CStubing> real estate is super expensive
<CStubing> in NYC
<berty> damn NY
<CStubing> I have friends who own their places, but they're millionaires
<pepp^> CStubing: yes I know. Like that I have lived in NYC for a year in several flats in several expensive spots but I barely would meet my montly rental requirments.
<CStubing> yeah, it's silly to be "rent poor"
<MetaCosm> CStubing: 5th floor walkup is bettered worded as "5th floor apartment with built in exercise equipment, designed to be used every day"
<pepp^> berty: closet space in NYC is expensive. I usually would recommend you to take a mini-storage box for 100 bucks a month. you can sleep in there, just can't stand.
<pepp^> CStubing: what is "rent poor"?
<pepp^> CStubing: Why don't you do something? This AV is TANKING.
<CStubing> MetaCosm: so true... also "good agoraphobia starter apartment"
<CStubing> because once you get up there, the last thing you wanna do is go back out for things like... food, or toilet paper...
<pepp^> what is agora? its agrophobia
<pepp^> CStubing: no elevator? it ****s to be you.
<CStubing> "rent poor" is where paying your rent makes you poor
<pepp^> CStubing: what is the low down on AV. my screen is showing -.17
<CStubing> sec
<pepp^> My dad is gonna kill me for such a stupid investment.
<CStubing> 11.60 bid at 11.62
<pepp^> are you serious? you live a long life.
<CStubing> heh
<pepp^> yet to see some green on AV
<CStubing> what are you showing for the bid/offer?
<pepp^> CStubing: whats your broker transaction costS? I'll move my ac. I will be tired of Ameritrade charging me 11. per transaction
<pepp^> bid, 11.61 ask 11.62
<pepp^> i am losing a meal now AV, 7 bucks.
<CStubing> they don't service individual investors, sorry
<pepp^> The good thing is that the vol is below average vol.
<pepp^> That gives me confidence after positive earnings result, AV is gonna go off the roof like google.
<CStubing> yeah, perhaps.. just get ready to sell while you can :)
<pepp^> do any of you knwo if i make a profitable sell on Ameritrade, it'll take out money from my profits for taxes?
<pepp^> CStubing: you are very bearish on my investments. Why?
<pepp^> Ameritrade is so stupid, it can't even compute return on your portfolio.
<CStubing> pepp^: I doubt they will withhold for your taxes.
<CStubing> I'm only bearish on AV.
<ZorbaTHut> pepp, I presume they will send you tax forms and you'll have to pay the appropriate taxes.
<pepp^> That would be nice. I wonder if I make losses, the govt will give me tax breaks for next year.
<pepp^> All these big banks have algorithmic trading facilities. Is this thing for an individual investor?
<orangesod> anyone have some time to help me implement 1 or 2 functions for my HW? I am lost
<ZorbaTHut> orange, generally we ask that people ask specific questions
<orangesod> not sure how to ask it speficically.. I guess I am just not understanding the header file that we are to use so if someone could kind of walk me through it that would be good
<pepp^> orangesod: paste it. look at the topic.
<orangesod> http://rafb.net/paste/results/MjtpWH58.html
<pepp^> What is there that you don't get?
<pepp^> Looks like some prof wrote this for you
<orangesod> yeah. I dont understand the exon stuff
<pepp^> What do you mean? Tell me which line you are having problem at?
<orangesod> well in general what is happening in the exonLocation cl***, but definitely 18-19
<orangesod> bc for the function I am trying to implent I have to add start and end to the exonlis
<orangesod> t
<pepp^> ExonLocation is a cl***, it says a node inthe linked list of exons
<pepp^> And line 18 is the constructor as I understand it.
<pepp^> its got default arguemtns as start, end, and exon*
<pepp^> but if you provide it with your own values, it initializes those values into the data members of an exon node
<orangesod> what is the pointer intending to do
<pepp^> What line?
<orangesod> 18 where it is says ExonLocation* ptr=0
<pepp^> well itts ptr is pointing to nothing, its supposed to be pointing to next node. Thats what you gotta take care of in your other functions, like add postion etc etc
<pepp^> except make sure that your last node, in linked list points to nothing thats how you know yo've hit the last node
<pepp^> its dependent on how you implement your list.
<pepp^> go read up on link list impelementation.
<Genia4> noam_: up?
<orangesod> alright
<pepsi_> I have a member function that I want to be declared const. but I need to iterate over a member vector. I have seen that there exists a const_iterator but I cant get my compiler satisfied.. how should I iterate over it using const_iterator?? (the name of the vector is "content")
<Wizaka> pepsi_, just as you would with a normal iterator.
<Wizaka> You must be calling a method that isn't declared as const.
<pepsi_> Wizaka: well, begin() has both a const and a non const :)
<Wizaka> vector<something>::const_iterator itr = v.begin();
<Wizaka> etc.
<Wizaka> That's so you can use the same begin() with both const and non-const itrs.
<pepsi_> Wizaka: ah.. now I got it right! thx!
<slip> hey guys, does a function exist like in vb, ucase(string) that converts a string to uppercase letters? google is failing me
<Genia4> there probably is something
<Genia4> check out std::string docs
<slip> should i be working with strings or char arrays when dealing with simple user input
<xdank--> it's your preference
<Wizaka> altough arrays are evil according to infamous editors =)
<bramz> and for a reason :)
<bramz> slip: check out toupper
<bramz> IIRC it works on single characters only though, but you could use std::transform to convert a complete string
<Thoys> damn why does my app still exits with errors
<pyrrhic> hello
<Wizaka> pong
<pyrrhic> how do i go about getting info about a file in windows?
<pyrrhic> just something to google would be nice..
<Thoys> win32 api?
<ZorbaTHut> define "info"?
<ZorbaTHut> stat() might be what you're looking for. or it might not.
<pyrrhic> stat i beleive is
<pyrrhic> course this this is telling me i am suing it wrong
<pyrrhic> using*
<pyrrhic> says stat::stat no overloaded functions takes 2 arguments
<pyrrhic> am trying to use stat(const char*, stat*)
<ZorbaTHut> make sure you have the right includes, make sure that function exists on your compiler
<ZorbaTHut> I believe MSVC requires you to use _stat, I may be wrong on that.
<pyrrhic> i am using msvc
<pyrrhic> if i type stat( it shows that start(char, stat)
<pyrrhic> what should i include to use it?
<Silex> about calc, can I have the calcs list and is it an eggdrop module ?
<ZorbaTHut> check your documentation.
<ZorbaTHut> calc calclist
<CalcMe> no entry for "calclist"
<ZorbaTHut> apropos list
<CalcMe> found: "!list" "complist" "initializer list" "linked list" "linked list2" "ORB_List" "Skip Lists" "skiplist" "vc6 listsort"
<pyrrhic> heh
<ZorbaTHut> grr
<ZorbaTHut> calc calcs
<CalcMe> calcs = The calc database can be found at http://www.raphie.net/calcs.htm
<ZorbaTHut> silex, there's a horribly out of date database
<ZorbaTHut> I can send you a somewhat newer one if you want
