This is known as ISP hijacking, where incorrect URLs will cause a search page from the ISP to show. You can (usually) opt out of it, but it requires setting a specific resolving server, something that I think I know how to do but don't feel like doing it.

I think we should continue to work on this. DrawfWM is a shell, not a GUI library, although like DCS, it will expose the GUI library as well. This project's goal is to make an independent GUI library, in which I think we could do nicely. At the same time, either we or SirCmpwn can make Axe wrappers for it.

However, my main focus at the moment is wxWabbitemu, since there's quite a demand for such an app, and my C++ skills are growing as well, enabling me to contribute more.

Yup!
It's still a heavy WIP, but it will be ready soon!
Thank you guys for reminding me! It'll be a while before this takes off due to much projects and HW from school, and tests next week. I'm literally swamped to death... X_X

Maybe it's the easyest to detect the platform, and make a function for every platform

Well, there are lots of platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris) and I hope there's a way to do this.

In Python, webbrowser.open("url") will open in the default browser on any platform so I guess there is a way to do that in C/C++.

That's because Python gets interpreted the same way, remember. C++ is compiled to assembly, which is different on each OS. I don't think there's a real cross-platform way to do it. Since you're going to have to release separate versions for each platform anyway (you can't release an .exe for Mac users, for instance) what about keeping different versions for each? I think that's what most devvers do.

I don't know C++ though, so I might be wrong.

Python's webbrowser module is in fact, pure source.
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/d71476b9a55d/Lib/webbrowser.py

Technically, if you translated all of this source code (by HAND, not by program, since there is no such thing as automated Python => C++), you could probably achieve a Python webbrowser-like library for inclusion into your program. Of course, translating (and possibly writing a LOT of code) is a whole different thing...

Here's a Makefile to build this:
all:
@echo "** Building..."
g++ -c `wx-config --cppflags` helloworldgui.cpp -o helloworldgui.o
@echo "** Linking/creating executable..."
g++ `wx-config --libs` helloworldgui.o -o helloworld
clean:
@echo "** Removing object files and executable..."
rm -f helloworldgui.o helloworldgui
install:
echo '** Installing (why in the world do you want to install this??)...'
cp helloworldgui /usr/bin
uninstall:
@echo '** Uninstalling...'
rm /usr/bin/helloworldgui
Make a file called Makefile, copy+paste the above stuff into it, and save it in the same dir as helloworldgui.cpp.
Then, in a terminal, make sure you are in the directory where the Makefile and source are, and type:
make
To run, type:
./helloworldgui
make clean will delete the helloworldgui.o and helloworldgui executable files, make install will install helloworldgui into your computer (why would you want to do that? ), and make uninstall will uninstall helloworldgui.

Happy birthday graphmastur!
Hope the AP Chem test didn't slaughter it....

There is 1 opening and 4 endings that I like, in which there's a forbidden one

First off - Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. Yeah, you can rip my head off now.
It actually isn't that bad of a series. Plot isn't too bad, especially for the semi-middle and ending parts (Season 2 and Seasons 4-5, which I haven't gotten to watching). The sub versions are the ones you should watch if you ever decide to taste it. (The dub versions sound terribly pathetic... as it the voice actors were held at gunpoint at the same time they're recording... ) This is the only sub-series of Yu-Gi-Oh that I like - this one doesn't revolve (too much) on "OMG CARDS!! OH LOOKIE A CONTEST!!1! MUST WIN MUST WIN!!!!" (The new one, Zexal, is pretty much like this as well... in fact, their opening almost wants you to look away due to its extremely kiddy nature:

Anyway, here's one opening and two endings:

The next anime that is probably much more appealing but less known - Xam'd: Lost Memories* (亡念のザムド, Bōnen no Zamud). It's only released on PSN and DVD/BD, and just recently can be spotted as well on Hulu and Anime Network. (It's "web anime", as the term on wikipedia goes.) If you're not a person that doesn't mind some slightly alien looking characters (hint: Ben 10), this is not for you. This anime tends to have the lovely elements of swag, story, and character development. Due to the swag, I'm never ever going to show this to a little kid... The openings are evil lies; the endings tell a bit more of the series true core. (The "swag" == "offensive material", so beware if you are a person who is offended by this kind of stuff.)
(NOTE: These don't have the credits overlaid. If you are looking for them, you can try and find them - they're somewhat hard to find, surprisingly. )
Drooling at the amazing animation quality? Thank Bones for that. They also animated Full Metal Alchemist, so you might see a similarity between the two.

* Did I mention that YGO ZEXAL's plotline somewhat looks like this?
ZEXAL's plotline base also looks like Soul Eater's one as well, especially with the number 99.
