From some other place:
"Hudzg's teammate nooky stated similar thoughts, but also pointed out that, while they really need to balance the weapons, they need to try to limit wall-banging as well. It seems that every wall is spammable."

I'm glad to hear that wall-banging may be back.

Some programming tools NOT used by Real Programmers:
...
> Source language debuggers. Real Programmers can read core dumps.

> Compilers with array bounds checking. They stifle creativity, destroy most of the interesting uses for EQUIVALENCE, and make it impossible to modify the operating system code with negative subscripts. Worst of all, bounds checking is inefficient.
...


Quote:
If you ignore the fact that it's "structured", even 'C' programming can be appreciated by the Real Programmer: after all, there's no type checking, variable names are seven (ten? eight?) characters long, and the added bonus of the Pointer data type is thrown in-- like having the best parts of Fortran and assembly language in one place. (Not to mention some of the more creative uses for #define.)


I don't see an endorsement for C# made by REAL PROGRAMMERS! In other words, C# is a language for quiche-eaters.

I think I'll go ahead and contribute. Trying to stick to music videos and just 1 video per band to keep things interesting.

More RATATAT I guess. First post didn't do enough justice and I just love their music videos.

Also go look for their two remix tapes, available somewhere for free.

Ever send an array to another function?
code
int x[] = {1,2,3,4,5}
work(x);

void work(int numbers[]){
code...
}

Surprise, You secretly used pointers!
You actually sent &x[0] to work and the work function views int numbers[] as int* numbers. This way you can just send 4bytes (address of x[0]) to work instead of the whole array (4bytes * array length).
If you didn't use pointers you would have to send all elements to the work function, make a new array there, do the calculations, return all the modified elements to the function caller, and finally repopulate the original array. Try making a recursive program without pointers.

Get a pair of fat calipers and use that to track your weight loss. This way you can ascertain exactly how much of lost weight is actually attributed to burned fat.

Edit: just noticed this thread is more than a month old. If your still losing weight this quickly and lifting heavier then you are golden.

I would recommend LC-3 Because it's 16-bit, you can run it on an emulator, and it's entry level. You can download it here http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072467509/student_view0/lc-3_simulator.html
You could also read Patt & Patel's book if you want to learn about LC-3, computing, and C programming.

Here's a reference sheet : http://users.crhc.illinois.edu/awise/AssemblerTutorial.htm

The spaceship must decelerate, stop, and accelerate back towards it's initial position. Since the spaceship's reference frame is non-inertial the Principle of Relativity does not apply so we cannot calculate time dilation through the time dilation formula.
The Earth clocks do indeed run slow as the spaceship moves at constant velocity, however while the spaceship decelerates and turns around the Earth clocks run fast. Fast enough that the spaceship twin will be younger upon return.

This type of bill won't be passed without heated debate, the reason it didn't pass was because it it too close to the congressional break and the election.
If you want to help this cause when it resurfaces you're probably best off writing to a congressman and expressing your concerns (Which the petition organizers will probably do for you). Although I'm not sure of the standing you will have if you are not part of their district.

Also the white house had a plan to pressure all registrars to voluntarily follow the COICA outline anyway should the bill no be passed. The ISP's and registrars see that it isn't in their best interest and they are mainly ignoring it.
User
I'm pretty sure this is an mainly an ATI related problem, but newer graphic cards in general are going to have more and more problems with older software.
You can most likely work around this by turning hardware acceleration off, downloading 3rd party drivers, or rolling back to drivers circa 2004.

"According to the EFF, the industry hoped to rush the "Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act" (COICA) bill through without much debate before the Congressional break, but they failed and the bill has been shelved temporarily."

An inertial frame is defined as one in which Newton's second law holds, so provided there is no force acting on the stick, it's an inertial frame.

I misunderstood the question. I thought the stick was flying back at the spectator after it entered the barn, not just passing through it, so I assumed the stick changed direction without accelerating.
User
Is the stick an inertial reference frame? I don't think it is therefore it shouldn't experience time dilation. But then again this is at the back of my physics textbook and we are only covering capacitance at the moment; there's a good chance I'm misusing or do not understand the terms.

My advice would be to ditch such a silly email name venture like that and just stick with a professional sounding g-mail account or get a university account.
But if you must I'll try to help you, although I am not very informed on this subject.

I'm not sure if you have hosting as well as your domain name or your own server. If you have your own hosting/server you could install webmail and/or have it email forward to a different address. I'm not sure about the implications if you just own the domain.

For the second part I'm hoping you have a static IP. I believe you'll need to either set up your own or use your registrar's DNS server to create records that will point to your IP.

I'm not sure the cbr engine would be the best choice for this project (small low-mid range power, low torque.) I would say the same for the cbr929 engine but that does have 50 extra hp to work with.
A problem you need to consider is that bike engines are made of aluminum and your frame will probably be steel; you can't weld it so you would have to build a mount for it or something.
Your probably much better off using a chain from the engine that's just going to the rear axle than using the double drive train idea.

I agree with you on the part about getting kicked around constantly; most of the player base is pretty good already. But it now does have skill based matchmaking similar to war3. The game is also generally noob friendlier to its 1998 counterpart (auto split mining, queuing, much better pathing). Enemy players and their roach rushes probably won't be as accommodating though.

Learn LC-3 assembly then C/C++, this way you will at least understand basic logic structures, computer memory, pointers, data types, and interrupts before moving into a high level language. Write your first LC-3 program in binary and then start using assembly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC-3
You could learn a high-level language first, but learning how a computer works first would give you a much stronger foundation.

Not true, the Aegis and Ward have 4 sockets too

Mate de Vita said:
Are 4 socket one-handed swords/shields hard to get? Because I've been thinking of trying to earn FG with countess runs and then making the Spirit runeword (the runes required are all low-level runes).

nah dude, 4os swords are easy to find off of running the cow level. If you still can't find one look for an unsocketed broadsword and add sockets via the larzuk quest reward. Make sure that it drops off a decent level monster or you won't get all four sockets. The amount of sockets added depends on the item level so don't use a vendor bought one or something.

Unless your a pally the only 4os shield available is the monarch shield.

Also consider doing the shenk quest as you get ral, ort, and tal runes as rewards.

I need help with finding obfuscatory jargon to put in my english essay about the "Heart of Darkness". I have a short list myself but I would like terms that you find especially interesting/confusing.


Examples of what I'm trying to do:
Quote:
The essential paradigm of cyberspace is creating partially situated identities out of actual or potential social reality in terms of canonical forms of human contact, thus renormalizing the phenomenology of narrative space and requiring the naturalization of the intersubjective cognitive strategy, and thereby resolving the dialectics of metaphorical thoughts, each problematic to the other, collectively redefining and reifying the paradigm of the parable of the model of the metaphor.

Its really a fantastic game, I was surprised with all of the polish that went into Liberty City. The radio stations are mixed by real dj's, there is an in-game "internet", tv stations, shows, and minigames. The main drawbacks of the game, however, are bad cutscene lighting, retarded reload mechanics (guns in cars auto-reload, and the assualt rifles reload by recocking), and if you die in a mission you may find that you have to start over across the entire town, get the mission again, and drive all the way back.

I'm going to take a wild geuss and say that your friend is a scriptkiddy who claims he knows how to hack and just uses sub7.

However, if you really serious on wanting to learn how to hack there are plenty of people online that are willing to point you in the right direction; don't expect them to hold your hand though.
Even though I'm not a hacker, I believe a good and simple place to start would be learning how to use telnet.

OBsIV a hero among men has developed the Xbox Input Machine after successfully being able to control the Xbox with the Wiimote. Unfortunately it still requires the use of a wired controller and the horrible XFPS to circumvent X360's peripheral security. It works by interpreting mouse + keyboard movements from a computer, translating it with a micro controller to ps/2, and then sending it to the XFPS.

AK is the best because of its accuracy and it always has 1 hit kill potential (unless your walling).

the ak is more inaccurate then a m249 its hard to control....

accuracy and recoil are completely different, and the ak is still pretty easy to control.
