I'm probably going to get a 3 TB 7200 RPM HDD. The 4 TB one I got was 5400 RPM.

Are there any brands I should look at specifically?

Mine's a Western Digital drive. Any other brand can work, but I'd look at the reviews.

[CypherHoof 26,482]

Haven't actually bought the 4TB yet though - got a 1TB 5400 in there (one I removed from the primary drive of another laptop for an SSD upgrade) until I find a reasonably priced 4TB drive in the 2.5" form factor.

Oh, I almost forgot. This:

// Member function: Make a tautological street name
// Examples: Avenue Road, Street Avenue, Street Street, Lane Drive, etc
// This is just an easter egg; there is no other reason to have this function =P
// Maybe have it so that 1 out every 100 random name generations have this funny name
void ObjStreet::makeStreetNameTauto()
{
	streetName = makeStreetTitle() + " " + makeStreetTitle();
}

	// This IF statement determines whether the street gets a normal name
	// or a tautological name; chance of a tautological name is 1 in 100 by default
	if (rand() % 100 + 1 < 100) streetName = n[rand() % n.size()] + " " + makeStreetTitle();
	else makeStreetNameTauto();

This doesn't look like my type of conversation

Oh my it's been forever since I have been in here.. Might as well wave a hoof and say hello, though I see that things aren't all that active in here, I guess it has it's spurts I guess.

How is everyone doing today? I am about to get ready for a big move in the next few weeks, it will be the first time living away from my parents, I hope things go well.

Cinny-Minny, I'm literally in the same boat as you, and I just woke up.

I wake up normally at about 2 PM nowadays.

That'll change when school starts.

I have that bad habit of not falling asleep early enough, too. This is why I should never sign up for morning classes if I can avoid it.

Also, did you see the code I shared?

Yeah, is it a random street namer?

Ironically, I'm quite bad with code.

It's C++. I'm curious; are there any other programming languages you know? All I know is Visual Basic and C++, but I prefer C++. I also know a bit of HTML and CSS, but at this point, I'm quite rusty.

Also, it's a C++ class. Maybe it'll help if I shared what that functions look like.

std::string ObjStreet::makeStreetTitle()
{
	// List of possible names may be expanded on in the future,
	// but there aren't many possible titles to add in
	// There are currently 10 entries
	std::vector<std::string> t =
	{
		"Avenue",	"Circle",	"Court",	"Crescent",
		"Drive",	"Lane",		"Road",		"Street",
		"Trail",	"Way"
	};

	return t[rand() % t.size()];
}

void ObjStreet::makeStreetName()
{
	// Current street names are based off of street names in my area,
	// one for each letter of the alphabet, including names whose letter
	// isn't included

	// This list may be modified someday
	std::vector<std::string> n =
	{
		/* Random street names go here, enclosed in quotes and separated by commas */
	};

	// This IF statement determines whether the street gets a normal name
	// or a tautological name; chance of a tautological name is 1 in 100 by default
	if (rand() % 100 + 1 < 100) streetName = n[rand() % n.size()] + " " + makeStreetTitle();
	else makeStreetNameTauto();
}

I don't know many languages, I know of JavaScript anyways. 

Code looks confusing, but I get some of it.

It's gonna get worse since I'm also considering making a person name generator, a family generator, and a household generator.

I might not be able to finish my summer school work.

My life is over.

Such a bore to play Fallout 3 after you've played New Vegas.

It's interesting to see just how different Fallout games are. Fallout 4 is super different from New Vegas.

That goes without saying though.

Learning OpenGL on my own right now. Very daunting task, but then did me from when I was 15 years old ever foresee becoming so good at Inkscape?

I may as well ask... What would you say I am doing in that new picture I posted up there? And like how I am feeling, Just wonder your opinion on that.

Also, long time no speak Ganny, how are you?

I'd guess he's sneaking around and about two weeks before fall quarter begins.

Who's sneaking around? If you are talking about me, you mean me. xD (I thought you knew I prefer second pony words when you are talking directly to me about my pony self. xD)

But nah, since I don't go to school, if that's what you meant by fall quarter

Well, I'm moving to the dorm soon, so yeah.

Also, OpenGL shaders have melted my brain, so I need a break.

I had an odd experience yesterday. I watched "The Crystalling" for the first time (I finally got to season 6!), and just a few hours later, I read there's going to be a new royal baby! What's the likelihood?

[Midnight Blaze 98 1,138]

I'm kind of excited right now, because I think I may have found another pegasister at my school, this girl I have been getting to know better since I got put in the same form as her was humming the mlp intro in lunch queue. It's possible it was just stuck on her head for some other reason, but I'm planning to do some investigating here...
