I don't need to speak to Kyle. YOU need to quit misleading people with your guesses. If you want to do things the hard way, go ahead, but don't expect a sensible potential boss to hire you or keep you.

Yeah, well I just told Kyle about some of the stuff you've been doing. So keep it up if you enjoy being banned. If you can't act civilized don't post.

DaWei

Nothing that I've been doing is an unknown to Kyle. If Kyle decides that banning me is his best recourse, that's entirely his business. If I join YOUR forum, then YOU can ban me.

Whatever. I don't care. I'll ignore you. Simple as that.

DaWei

And I will ignore you, unless you continue to drano the worth of the forum for newbies.

That really doesn't make sense. What kind of computer is this that can't handle the STL??? And what do you mean by "I was referring to windows Programming"? It looks that you are under the impression that the STL is *nix only! You need to look at your books again.

You have managed to say 3 misleading things in just 2 lines of posting. Perhaps DaWei was over the line there, but he was right.

And please don't tell me that this matter is 'non of my business' becuase it is, since you are arguing in public.

Well, I'll guarantee it does. I've written software that's been used by hundreds of thousands of people on Windows, that uses std::string. So it works.

I have no doubt that you can't get it to compile right now, on your computer. Let me give you some possible reasons:

1) You're using VC++ 2005 Express, and haven't installed the Platform SDK, and haven't told VC++ that it's okay to make native code.
2) Your paths aren't set up correctly.
3) You're not including the header file correctly.
4) You are using a compiler that doesn't install STL by default, and you haven't installed it.

"std::string doesn't work on Windows" is not on the list.

This guy is obviously lying. std::string does work with Windows.

You know, as a newbie i have observed a few things. Why do we need to have arguments with each other over stupid little things.

@Dragon_Master, calm down. DaWie has more knoweldge of programming than you can ever wish to know. He might be a little strange at times but who isnt. You made a simple error in the way you posted. You could have said std::string does not work properly on my set up. Then people could give you good advice like Kyoryu gave.

@DaWie, there are few people in these forums that could get away with giving advice to you. Most people here have a high respect for you due to your experience and the forum would not be the same place without your input.

I know that is how i feel, i joined not so i could join in with the flaim wars and trolling but so i could learn and help other people. I think this is a common goal for most here. Lets not let it deteriate like some other forums have.

Edit: @Marvin. You really need to see someone about your mental condition. lol.
