I for one have no friggin' idea how I'd start something like that. And I've completed a year of AP Computer Science.

uh, hate to say it, but I took the AP comp sci course also, and if that was my only programming knowledge, it'd be impossible.

The major problem you'd have to overcome is learning how to use connection sockets and taking a peek at how web server/clients communicate. Once you got that, you just put it in a long (x=0;x<5000;x++) or neverending loop, and there ya go.


If the AP course focused on real life situations like this, and ignored all that Big-O (yeah you heard me AP board, in case you haven't noticed, we have 1 gig computers, your little idea of saving a few measly calculations is useless) and apvector/apqueue/apwhatever crap, it would've been a kickass class (and useful for something other than getting colleges to blink at your application)

By semi-popular request, the source code can be found here:

voter.cpp
stdafx.h
deadrcv.h
writefile.txt

writefile.txt should be in C:\, the files require winsock and probably VC++ to compile. I did all this in a hurry so it's slightly sloppy. and writefile.txt is in binary so editing it will only screw it up.

yes, now we know, I had already the feeling, something fish with PCstats. How come, a relatively samll side (no flaming ) like amdzone has 17,000 votes? very fishy!
