i must concur: if you can understand the music, enough to sing along or have it register as anything beyond 'just music' you are taking away from your overall concentration.
this is why ambient / electric-ish type of music is preferred among people, because there's nothing really to pay attention to beyond 'just good music' or 'just good beats'.
The book that I'm most familiar with (Thinking in C++, 2nd ed.) is available at a bunch of mirrors around the world, and is one of the best books I've read for a transition from C (or other languages) to C++.
MUD "coders" as they call them are lame and annoying; they lack true experience and, pardon my joke, simply wander around in the MUD. Their coding habits, even of the best of them, are amateurish and annoying..
Fuck off, newbie.
okay, just from the fact that you haven't backed up anything you've said beyond just immature bashing, shows that you hold no credibility in what you have just said. why don't you try to explain WHY YOU THINK that EVERYONE who codes on muds are completely worthless and just a bunch of newbies.
guess what? ever gone to medievia or realms of despair.. or any other of the muds that have well over 300-500 players on at ANY given time, and tell the owners that they are COMPLETE NEWBIES? guess what, 90% of the MUDDING POPULATION are computer geeks. do you think they would put up with "amateurish" or "annoying" behaviours from coders?
you know, the one thing that pissed me off the most about your comment is the fact that just because a MUD isn't graphical like EQ (everquest) or lacks the attention as some other games.. for the simple fact that there ARE a lot of newbie coders on muds (yes, i will give you this) it means that it is one of THE BEST places to start out, mainly because you're taking something you play (assuming that a mudder is wanting to learn how to code) and also enhancing your knowledge of programming in the process. believe it or not, but when coding something you ENJOY, you tend to want to learn MUCH MORE than if you're coding something you are only doing 'just because it will look good on a resume'
just because some muds are very disorganized and are run by 'newbies' doesn't mean EVERY mud is like that. i could point out many, MANY sourceforge projects and other OPEN SOURCE projects that are probably ran just as bad, or perhaps worse.
try coming back with something more intelligent than, 'fuck off, newbie' next time.

Do you know where I could find a (paperback) copy of this? Amazon doesn't print it anymore, sneef.

Bruce Eckel I think is a great example of this.

i use konqueror, and it's great :)

(although i wish i knew who wrote 'Advanced Editor'
because I keep getting seg faults everytime i click
'save as'
cheers,
