I'm pretty sure it's fine to use the OEM version, just you can't change it between computers in the future.

I'm using the same Win7 Ultimate OEM Licence, that I use on my old PC (AMD 64 x2 6000) on my new PC with an Intel core i7 3770k inside, you just cant use the online activation. (You can use phone or email activation) The only thin is, you can use it only on one PC at a time.

I think it's not technically legal to do that, that's the difference between the retail/OEM AFAIK.

(But really, is microsoft going to do anything about it?)

I have already been convicted of computer piracy once, I'm not taking any more chances. OEMs are only for new computers, old computers need GGK or FPP licenses - the expensive ones.

c++14 makes working with time much nicer.
For example in c++ 14:

Code:

#include<chrono>
auto timepertick = 1s / 20;

And timepertick will be defined a variable representing a 1/20th of a second.

Also c++11 has hacked multiple return types into the language.
eg:

Code:

std::tuple<int,float> f()
{
    return std::tuple{10,5.0};
}

void g()
{
     int x;
     float y;
     std::tie(x,y) = f();
    // x == 10, y == 5
}

I find the constructor syntax without parenthesis rather disturbing.

I just thought of something that might get in handy for some plugins. What if we give each cItem object an ID. That should make it a bit easier for plugins to track an item.

[xoft]

How would it work and what would that solve?

[worktycho]

We do already have an ID for them in c++. It's the objects address.
