Or perhaps we could adopt a Buddhist-influenced approach:

"You are already naturally and perfectly unsubscribed within, and need only
awaken to the clarity of this truth."

Sorry, you were talking about the _leak_... that's possible. 300k is exactly
the size of the video buffer... hmm... very handy.

Neil, can you send me a recompiled version of your EXE *without*
stretch_blit()? I'll see if it leaks for me.

LOL, I don't think even the admins would've passed that. No, a better thing
to do would be to send a weekly e-mail to the list titled "Free beer" or
something, with unsubscribe instructions like this:

Step 1: Open your browser (refer to Appendix A)
Step 2: Go to this website (refer to Appendix B)
Step 3: Enter your whatever (refer to Appendix C for details on using the
keyboard, Appendix D for your name)

In the process, you can get them so wrapped up in 'how to do it', rather
than 'what to do', and maybe get them to format their drives or paint their
face white or something.

I'm not really sure that it's a joke.

[Ioannis V. <no...@ho...>]

The best solution would be that someone would become a member of the
list after passing some exam. :)) I would recommend as subject to write
some kind of hello world in C or C++ and a mailing list unsubscription
test (using all the available methods under various scenarios, like
using an unknown password, making the unsubscription with a turned off
monitor etc). Only then we would be finally calm.



Of course it's a joke.

Why don't you just try? That's a whole lot faster than waiting for an

[Dev-C++] YOU MUST READ THIS OR THE NEXT "UNSUBSCRIBE ME" MESSAGE AND THE ANSWERS (DO I NEED TO ADD A BAD WORD?)

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

If you some day want to unsubscribe from this list you DON'T HAVE TO
SEND a message with the <<"unsubscribe me" without quotes>>, YOU HAVE TO
GO TO THE PAGE WHERE YOU SUBSCRIBED and go to the manage subscription
section, and unsubscribe yourself FROM THERE.

[Dev-C++] Re:One more time

[Carlos d. M. <cg...@wo...>]

I guess that many unsubscribe me messages are due to that people who
wants to unsubscribe:
a) Don't read completely the page of subscription
b) Don't read the unsubscribe me messages and the answers to them
c) Don't go tho the mailing-list subscription page because:
d) They assume before having proved it, that it works exactly the same
than many other lists I saw in the past: they say for unsubscription
send a message to the list with the subject "unsubscribe me", I don't
remember any of those lists I saw with such a way for unsubscribe (and
the lists I saw from some time ago to today are just the same way than
this), because that the next message I will send. It seems that they
have mechanisms so when they receive a message with that subject
automatically makes what must be done for unsubscription of the sender.
But what about password security in that? I think the method of this
list, do it yourself, is much better than that.

Re: [Dev-C++] Resource editor problem

Oh, sorry, did you say recompiling didn't work? Delete the '.res' files in
the project directory. Dev-C++ doesn't seem to check resource files for
dependancy generation. I guess that's a feature request (or a bug-fix, take
your pick).

It's probably because Windows users are spoon-fed a lot of things; they're
event-driven, like their OS. If they don't see a menu option, they assume
it's not there. And many a times, even if they do see it, they' don't
realize... now that I think of it, it's a general problem, not just a
windows-users problem. People are like that... knocking on doors. They don't
realize the doors are already open.

#include "windows.h" in the _resource_ file, it should work fine.

[Vance L. <va...@pc...>]

I feel I must apologize - my previous message was a bit, um,
inappropriate. Though I wasn't serious, I guess I didn't make that clear
(long days + short nights result in not-so-clear messages). I too was a
windows newbie at some point (though that seems like decades ago) and
can understand much of the rationale. I guess most of my annoyance comes
from the fact that it is so blatantly obvious that messages you send to
the list _actually go to the list_.

Anyhow, I apologize for my previous message.

While I'd imagine most of us would agree with a little eye-rolling at how
much trouble some people seem to have posting unsubscription pleas to the
user list, especially assuming that they must see us go through this with
their brethren as well, I don't think it's necessary to generalize about
Windows users over it. Windows is an OS that's abundantly available on the
market, and I think it's safe to say that most people have a Microsoft OS on
their first personal computer. It's a point of first contact for entire
generations of newbies.

Some of the people who have these problems on the list here may be people
who decided that they like computers quite a lot and so tried their hand at
becoming Computer Science majors in college. Their first class may have been
an Intro To CS using C++, and they found themselves staring down the barrel
of a student edition of MS Visual C++, which led them running as fast as
they could to a search engine to find something a touch more
newbie-friendly, so they tried out Dev-C++. When they finally decide that
this just isn't going to be what makes them feel happy & fulfilled, they
want out decisively, but as relative newbies they panic and bolt.

I doubt it's always just like this, but it does provide an alternative way
of looking at things. Perhaps if someone out there who's thinking of posting
the next *unsubscribe please* request can fill in a few of the details, it
will make a bit more sense.
