    Directing compile errors to file using g++

    How can I redirect errors from a g++ compile to a file instead of having them all thrown on-screen? I've tried redirecting standard output like this: g++ myCode.cpp -omyProgram > errors.lst ...but the errors still hit the screen instead. This is under Slackware Linux, btw.

    Anyone else watching Autorox on Spike right now?

    I was hoping it wouldn't be as stupid as I predicted. Looks like my faith was misplaced.

    Physics Question... no, not my homework.

    So, let's say someone is standing in a sailboat and points a fan at the sails in an attempt to propel the boat forward. Assume all the wind generated by the fan hits the sails and no energy is lost, and he has some sort of infinitely long, weightless extension cord to power his fan with. There...

    There's a stand here raising money for hurricane victims by selling...

    ...Mardi Gras beads. Am I alone in thinking this is a tad strange? The choice of products, I mean, not the raising money part.

    Pics of Greece *update*

    Just got back from my second trip there in two years, and since I never really posted pics from the last one I thought I'd slide those in here as well. I've got many more pics from the two trips floating around, but these were some of the better ones to catch my eye. Athens at night Paros -...

    Been having really bad chest pains...

    Just a lot of general tightness in my chest area. I'm 20, so I'm pretty sure I'm not in the midst of a heart attack. I'd guess that its stress-related, but I haven't actually been subjected to much stress at all lately - I've been more relaxed in the past 4 weeks than I have in the previous...

    How often do you exercise?

    I'm talking about physically getting up and going jogging, lifting weights, playing a sport that involves running, etc - basically, anything that involves getting your heart pumping in its target range for at least 20 minutes. Exercise does not include parking your car at the end of the lot so...

    Trying to quit smoking...

    I've given it a few half-hearted attempts before, but, well, you can guess how that went. I'm much more physically active now than I have been in the past two years, and basically between the money I spend on it and the lung capacity I lose from it I can't keep this habit up anymore. Not to...

    PSA for the moral puritans of OT

    If you don't smoke cigarettes, good for you. Don't preach to anyone who does. Its their life and their money, and they have the right to do what they please with both. If you don't agree with it, go fvck yourself. And if you don't want to be judged, don't judge others. That is all.

    I've been drunk dialed >3 times tonight!

    Never thought I could have such a weird night sitting up with a Diff. Eq. book. Now I'm getting called from people I don't know, who apparently know me (and my cell phone number). Most of it consists of them threatening to beat me up or loosen the lugnuts on my car. Vote away! Last...

    Engineering Joke

    A physicist, a mathmatician, and an engineer were each given a budget of $100 to measure the height of a particular hotel. All three of them formed a plan immediately and set to work. The physicist bought a stopwatch and some weights. Then, he proceeded to drop the weights off the top of the...

    I have a court appearance tomorrow morning...

    I got a speeding ticket about a month ago, and the court date for it is coming up tomorrow morning. The officer told me that since it was my first offense, the judge in Blacksburg would probably wipe the ticket if I took the time to go to court and agreed to take a one-day class (or something...

    Trouble with VLC and DVD playback

    I just installed VLC and I've tried it out on a few different DVDs with the same recurring problem: after approximately 10-15 minutes, the audio will suddenly stop while the video will keep playing. Occasionally this is also accompanied by a "Not Responding" crash if VLC isn't closed immediately...

    Renting a car before the age of 21

    I'm laying down some spring break ideas with a friend, and we were thinking about setting up a road trip... the only problem is that we've both punished our cars with plenty of miles already in the past 6 months and we wanted to rent something to take the mileage hit instead. Which leads us to...
