Which is better, Free BSD or Linux? I heard that Linus (I don't know his last name) said he wouldn't have invented Linux if Free BSD had been around back then.

they are both implimentations of posix compatable unix operating systems. as such, they all have their own specialities and peculiarities.
I have a list with links to a lot of posix os's on my site at http://www.xyroth-enterprises.co.uk/posixos.htm which should give you an overview and allow you to form your own opinions.

No, I know... It just reminded me... sorry if thats what it looked like...

For my information
xyroth Posted Aug 7, 2002
probably not the best place to ask, but do any of you know of any other posix operating systems not mentioned on my page at http://www.xyroth-enterprises.co.uk/posixos.htm that I should add to the list?
if so, what is the url?

int correct_response = "sorry, we've just been so competitive lately"
/*
processes old data for response that would not exist without such data
assimilates results of response with old data to make new data
*/
cout << correct_response

I don't have a competitive bone in my body.
No, I was telling the truth
printf("%s",Original_Message);

MessageBox(NULL , "ROFLMAO!" , "That's funny!" , MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP)
//Sorry, I am learning C++ very slowly

DoctorMO (Keeper of the Computer, Guru, Community Artist) Posted Aug 8, 2002
I'm so Windoz-ide that I can tell you that MB_OK is 0 and IconStop is 16 I think, although I usualy use 32 (Question mark) or 36 (Question Mark with Yes/No) It's a shame they didn't adoped the same thing that you can do with Apple Script, you can have messge boxes with custom buttons and everthing

>> int correct_response = "sorry, we've just been so competitive lately"
???????
Shouldn't it be a char*?
FYI
Ion the Naysayer Posted Aug 15, 2002
char[50] correct_response = "sorry, we've just been so competitive lately";
char* is for pointers.
Of course the easiest way to do it is probably just to output straight to STDOUT - why use a variable when you don't have to?
C
printf("sorry, we've just been so competitive lately");
C++
cout << "sorry, we've just been so competitive lately";

I'd still put in the formatting into the printf because it makes the code easyer to understand.
