"Normal" and "Balanced" are subjective terms.
I feel I am completely "Normal" and "Balanced". It's just that very few people agree with me at first glance.
I do fantasize about various weapons of destruction and brutal acts of violence when I'm angry.
That's usually around the time I start into the heavy bag for 20-30 minutes...
To all the other children of the parent, I think the logic that gave him his answer was something like the following:
(2^20996011-1) => 2^(20996011-1)
= 2^(20996010)
So of course, his logic is flawed, but the answer he came up with is correct based on his logic.
(2^20996010)mod 2 = 0
Therefore 2^20996010 is not prime
Maybe this kid should go back to elementary school and be re-taught the proper Order of Operations.
That's ok; I'm using the 41st and 42nd Mersienne Primes as my passwords. which is why people have only got to the 40th MP so far...
I can't let the cat out of the bag until I find the 43rd and 44th and change all of my passwords.
You silly people... thinking the 40th was good enough... And didn't you learn that you shouldn't use the same password for everything? Now you see why:P
umm... excuse me? You americans give you your individual liberties too... Can you say Patriot Act?
By the way, to the grandparent, I live in Canada... there are very few shootings here (especially when compared with the number in the US)
Building your next home on the moon has many perks:
1. No Pollution - at least not yet
That extra sunlight that we humans are accustomed to not really getting may be a bitch... mmm... cosmically irradiated french fries...
2. No pollen - great for people with allergies
Lots and Lots of dust... bad for people with allergies.
3. Spectacular views of the planet Earth with ocean front views.
Too late... I've already sold all the available land on the bright side of the moon... you get the dark side...
Yes... Survival of the fittest...
If you're dumb enough to buy the latest, greatest, completely untested snake-oil cure, then any side-effects you may incur are self-inflicted, and you will get no sympathy from me.
Just like if you jump in between a mother bear and her cub, then start hitting the cub with a stick, you deserve the mauling you will receive...
No... you have to find the cure first, patent it so noone else can use it, then find a treatment, and since you have the patent on the cure, noone will be able to attack your business model (without thmeselves finding a completely different cure for cancer)
Step 1: Find and Patent cure for cancer
Step 2: Charge exhorbitant fees for treatment of cancer
Step 3: Profit!!!
(Flame me if you must, but it's working for AIDS... I'm sure there's a cure for it in someone's file cabinet, somewhere)
At last, the end of the 1.2.3. jokes. We found the missing part!!!!
But where does stealing the underwear fit into all of that?
I think your plan is flawed... you have to steal the underwear... the gnomes knew that... and they're great at big corporate plans
I need one of these to use on my neighbor's stereo.
That's what I used to say when I was a child.
Then I bought a good stereo of my own. (That, and moving to a different city for school)
Tomacco plants are a great idea, you can make buttloads of money off of it. The problem comes in when you get those talking sheep with bloodshot eyes running after you...
So you'd feel equally threatened if Mother Teresa or Kim Jong Il had their finger on the trigger of a nuclear arsenal? Fah. Tell me another one.
Ok, take your example.
You can see Kim Jong Il. He is about 300 yards away. You have 1 gun, with 1 bullet. You know KJI will hit the button and launch the nuclear arsenal.
His entire body, save his face, is behind some bulletproof substance (with regards to your gun, anyway).
The only way to stop the annihilation of Japan is to kill KJI with a headshot.
Would you do it? Not by your logic. Since there are 'moral absolutes' and it is 'morally absolutely wrong to kill another living soul', Japan gets to thank you for no longer existing, right? Wrong!!! You would take the shot, knowing that you saved the lives of millions of people. So you broke what everyone says the the most absolute truth.
What exactly does that say about moral absolutes? Well, the ones that most people think are truths are complete and utter bullshit. Every person is merely a victim of circumstance and environment.
If you want to cry moral rules, look at the 7 deadly sins. Then look at exactly which of them the US breaks all the time.
Greed: Why did they go after Iraq? Oil.
Lust: How much money is spent per capita on cosmetic surgery, spas, retreats, holidays, sex, etc.. in the US annually?
Gluttony: As one of the fattest nations, I think Americans definitely fall under this category
Sloth: Capitalism at its finest; The most amount of money for the least amount of work.
Pride: USA is the best country in the world, right?
Anger: Carpet bombing a country for weeks because they drestroyed a building. Sure it was a tragedy, but wasn't the retailiation a little excessive?
Off the top of my head, the only one they don't break is envy, as their heads are all so far up their asses that they think they have everything better than everyone else.
You must remember, morals are different from person to person. You can't, therefore, use them as a set of rules with which to judge people.
'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' (disclaimer: I am not a Christian)
Now, that being said, you should put that stone down monkeydo...
Dont believe the hype. If that was the reason why THUG is not Live, why did Activision add Live support to SofII, RtCW, and JK:JA and others?
It's not Activision that didn't put online support in THUG, it was Activistion O2, their sports games subsidiary.
Activision and Activision O2 are two wholly different entities when it comes down to final decisions. Just as EA and EA Sports, Blizzard and Blizzard North, and (to get out of the gaming world) Sony (the makers of consumer electronics like MP3 players) and Sony Music (the recording company who, in conjunction with the RIAA et.al. is fights to make MP3s illegal).
Take off your tinfoil hat, it's affecting your ability to think.
in case you're wondering we did not use any part of a similar article from Dan at Dan's Data, but we both covered all of the requirements to utterly destroy your computer with little effort.
Sure it is, in fact it is very easy.
Cellular providers are assigned blocks of numbers, just like everyone else. In most cases these blocks will all carry the same prefix.
Getting the list is easy, Here is a free list of the prefixes in the (416) area code.
And Here is a place where you can buy a list of all prefixes in North America, including the geographical location (Lat/Long), Country, prov/state, city, time zone, whether or not DST is used, and the line type.
These were the first two hits for me when I googled 'cellular prefix' (YMMV)
Of course if you look at the second site it shows there are some discreptancies, in which case calling a cell # with an autodialer is unavoidable. If you have such a number that shares its prefix with landlines, you are out of luck. The telemarketer will just show it uses a list similar to this and that your number does not fall in that list, and it will get off, and you will pay court fees.
Thanks:)
I was like 6 when my dad had his C64...
i remember tons of games and apps on most disks...
I was used to finding the right.PRG and running it... god help you if you loaded a.SEQ file...
what did "*" do?
I remember 'LOAD "$",8' brought up the dir list, as long as you followed it with a "LIST"
As well, the,1 was only necessary if loading machine code (*.PRG); If you were loading a basic program (*.BAS) all you needed was the,8.

I don't doubt for a minute that DNA isn't some sort of very large program, and that when given the right parameters, will produce a very similar thing
Of course it's part of a very large program given precise parameters... Feed it an answer and it will respond with the question, very advanced stuff..
Earth (ZZ9-plural-Z-alpha sector)
It will produce a very precise and exact answer... or, queston... It only takes 10 million years.
