Strange OpenGL Segfault2nd July 2011 Ok, so I'm working on some image management code in C++ with SFML, but I'm getting a strange segmentation fault that isn't a massive problem, but I want to know what's causing it. If I let the program run and close itself properly, all is fine. However, i*snip* |

AV voting system, or just one?4th May 2011 Didn't the Tories get more votes that Labour at the last election though? Cos as far as I remember, for the Tories to get power, they needed to merge with just the LibDems (which they did), but for Labour they would need to merge with the LibDems, the Gree*snip* |

Portal 2 Spoilery/Discussion Stuff25th April 2011 [spoiler]Actually, if Chell was their daughter, it wouldn't fit with Caroline's age, I think.

Portal 2 Spoilery/Discussion Stuff22nd April 2011 Each version of Source is more of an upgrade on the last, so there would be no reason for Portal 2 to revert to an old format now that Source uses .vpk files. |

Portal 2 Spoilery/Discussion Stuff22nd April 2011 I suspect it is, because the physics seem to have been improved a bit, and some of bits of the dev commentary imply new stuff they've added. Most of it seems to be behind the scenes though - all the prebuilt physics events were in HL2:Ep2, and those main m*snip* |
