I'd be a bit peeved if what I posted in what was purportedly a private forum for moderators only got copied and spread around publicly.

This is certainly posted in the wrong room, but that's no sin.

You mean that the OS is drawing stuff on your screen at a ninety-degree angle? That is, if you rotated your screen by ninety degrees, it would look normal?

This is a feature available for some operating systems or perhaps video cards. The way to fix it isn't hard, but it depends on which operating system you're using.

So, tell us, what kind of computer are you using? Mac or PC? (Or Linux or FreeBSD or ...)

You say that because most of the humans you interact with on a day to day basis are your age.

No, there are different IQ scales and different ways of explaining what they mean.

VLC and mplayer can play it.

The notion of a logic-driven society doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand what you mean at all. Are decisions made... logically? From what premises are the logical reasonings made? It sounds to me like the only thing different from your idea of a right society from others' is that its logic is derived from the arbitrary axioms that you prefer, while others' are derived from different premises regarding righteousness. Would your society, by any chance, restrict mating to once every seven years?

If we do not categorize people how can we do anything? How can a store determine its market audience without categorization? How can a government determine who they should help without categorization? How can a society function without categorization?

What gave you your unquestioned premise that society must be an algorithm, imposed on people, that is designed to optimize particular parameters?

It's very obvious that those 'wires' are the same photographic effects that you get from filming the sun -- why do you think you only see them when the helmet catches a glint of light?

masses

What are these "masses" you speak of? I have never understood the term.

In order to fake the landings, they'd need to build a huge airtight set and then remove all the air from it. Without it collapsing. Good luck doing that with 1960s technology. Or 2000s technology.

Also, they'd still need to build the moon lander and spacecraft and launch all those rockets anyway, and having developed all the technology and spent all the money, there's no reason they would suddenly go and build a giant set made out of magical materials that can withstand the weight of the atmosphere.

Grover Cleveland.

What is "capitalist" as a political orientation? Most Democrats and Republicans could not be described as "capitalist". Is "capitalist" a code-word for libertarian? Which option should anarcho-capitalists select? What about people slightly short of anarcho-capitalist and slightly past minarchist?

Open up synaptic and search for wxwidgets or just 'wx'.

By the way, your shift key's broken.

Facebook gets billion dollar buyout offers, so from Dani's perspective that's not such a bad thing...

What do you need help with? Nobody's going to do your homework for you; you need to ask yourself why you can't do this yourself and then figure out specific questions that will help you to solve the problem yourself.

If you want somebody to write the whole thing for you, offer money. But even then the person might turn you in to your professor.

In fact, searching on Google gives matches at Rent-A-Coder.

I gave that rep, because your posts didn't make sense.

Stop acting your age.

Communicating using noobspeak is simply unacceptable* when there are people here, not necessarily the original poster you're talking to, who are not from English-speaking countries and can barely put coherent English sentences together.

* i.e. evil

We're not attacking each other. We are getting personal, though :D

I stand corrected.

It will be a playplace for the children who think that's what the role of this site should be.

No, they should have full moderator powers (I don't know) -- I still have access to Area 51, for example; but it's not directly on the drop down menu anymore for speed purposes.

Edit: server-side speed purposes

It's a temporary glitch.

Ladies, gentlemen, and those who are unsure of their gender, let's take a step back and get this thread back on track. No need to get personal or attack each other.

We're not attacking each other. We are getting personal, though :D

Relax, please.

I wonder if it's possible to reply to Josh's post without "attacking" him. Being only two years older than Josh, or maybe three if you're counting school years, makes me a past-border-line hypocrite, possibly, when it comes to some adjectives I will invite Josh to consider. (I am acting a bit like an old fogey who knows better, when I am not. The fact that I grew up on Usenet might explain a lot about my attitude, though.) I am trying to explain, not hurt.

Why do you attack us?

You treat the site like a low-caliber chatroom. As opposed to a high-caliber chatroom or a forum. See the following posts as evidince.

Now it's time for a humorous picture:

I don't have horrible grammar/typing skills..

Then I take it you deliberately write poorly.

probly

At least it seems that way.

As for ... qualified enough to post on daniweb.

That does not qualify you and its absence does not disqualify you. Saying you got a 5 on an AP test, as if passing an intro-level class means anything, means, if anything, it's time to look up the word 'uppity' and consider how it applies to yourself.

You know, I got told something like this myself, four years ago.

The function might be located somewhere else in the book. If not, what do you think that function is supposed to do? It looks like it's looking at a string and asking if the user input a valid integer.

Did you add time1.cpp to your project?

I recommend banning the use of "lol" as a form of punctuation.

BEGIN is not a procedure in Scheme; why would it be a procedure in Python? You already have a feature in the language for sequencing expressions with side effects.

Come to think of it, it's not even correct. However, the code I gave (despite its uselessness) is only 3 bytes longer than the OP's code when compiled under GCC -O3.

The using-bitwise-operators-to-crazily-remove-the-branching-instruction idea is useless anyway -- that gets compiled down to a conditional move.

alloc.h is a nonstandard header file. What are you trying to compile with?

You mean using define-syntax? It's in section 7.3 of the R5RS standard.

No.

Have you met Alker Saltzo?

Yes.

Are you smarter than your friends?

I used the secret to hope for a child, and then lo and behold, I found one wandering around in the supermarket! She still hasn't learned to answer to her new name, "Zelda," but I'm working on it.

Maybe

int i = p * q << 12;
int j = (i >> (sizeof(int)-1) * CHAR_BIT) & (~0xF)
i = (i & j) | (~ j);

I think it's stupid that staff writers don't get access to Area 51.

I agree.

yea.. every1 with at least one star should be allowed in area 51! lol

_After_ you subtract Geek's Lounge posts :P

No.

There exist nontrivial roots with real part not equal to 0.5 of the zeta function?

Yes. Edit: No.

Notation Polish reverse speak in you do?

Yes.

Are you me?

The only people who've said they're capable of giving out negative rep are moderators, sponsors, etc, so far.

No.

Do you understand the instantiation of the concept of existence?

I'd like to see your rep chart from about a year ago, from the C++ forum.

No really. Did you get bad reps then?

Update!

You and I might be robots who never react emotionally towards people's behavior, but a large enough proportion of people respond with verbal violence when others damage their fake self-esteem, because they take their lives too seriously. Wars between people who care about the number in their Reputation column are already tempered by the need to "spread around" points.

Now you're calling me a retard. :-/

Rep is just some number stored in a table somewhere; I didn't expect you to be annoyed by it.

Use pipes?

You could write a full-blown HTML parser, you could use somebody else's HTML parser, or you could use a cheapo solution that looks for strings like NZD-USD and walks their way forward through values.

And you'll need to grab the page from the webserver, too.

I'm not sure what you're asking -- is there some particular part of this process you need help with?

Here's my rep page now:

The top two were for my "Do you like killing people?" question in the yes/no thread ^_^

no.

Do you worship a zombie?
