Except for scientific calculations where there will probably never be a reasonable limit on the size or precision of numbers needed I doubt anyone would need more than 64 bits for any scalar type, be it a char or an int or a double or whatever. Why not use 64 bits for everything and accept the wasted space for storing chars but not ever have to worry about running out of numbers? Even if you waste 7/8 of the space on your hard drive to store 8 byte long chars, the available storage has gone up exponentially by using a 64 bit address space. increasing the size of your data 8 times is negligable, negligable enough to not even bother with 1 byte chars.
I heard an story on NPR about the dot-com barter networks that exist some of which are folding. They would get businesses to pool their services and get barterbux in exchange for them which they could spend on services/goods from other participating businesses. I don't know why this is legal since it seems like a different currency to me..
Court fees are expensive and having a lawyer draw up a nice threatening letter can cost you a bundle.
That's why the Sheisterizer 0.98 BETA ( by Cuisinart ) was created!
Using the Sheisterizer you too can turn out incomprehensible and threatening sounding letters in your own kitchen ( or wherever you keep your computer ) for a fraction of the cost and effort it used to take.
Sheisterizer's legaleze generator is guaranteed to produce the most convoluted and obfusticated prose possible liberally sprinkled with obscure and tedious-to-look-up jargon and outdated phraseology plus intimidating references to laws including the DMCA.

Not to mention the manufacture of illicit Schedule I substances and violations of the Mann act and various

But your rule list is now getting big and still has to be stored. Compression is about minimizing the amount of stuff that has to be stored to recreate the original. It would be nice to have a few simple, very reusable rules that you can use to generate the original with a very few commands.
I spent all weekend downloading it and finally got it to run under windows. But alls I could do was use the shooting range. It was slow and buggy and crashed every few minutes.

Netscape 4.7 Decent browser for when some page has bad javascript. Netscape 4.7 will usually understand it anyway. Also decent mail/news. KNode/KMail s what I use tho.
IE - some people seem to think that if the page works w/IE then it needs no further testing - the browser of last resort
Gecko derivatives - not a bad browser but I never get this far down the list. Netscape 6 deletes Netscape 4.7 so I don't install it. The mail and news is less reliable than 4.7 too
Ascorbic acid ( vitamin C ) is sour. I really don't think a sour loaf of bread or sour milk or cheese or beef of brocolli or eggs would taste good. Most sour foods are fruits and already have plenty of vitamin C so I don't see many foods where this would taste right and be useful.
Most of the time downloading stuff involves the modem. Unless he did something to that I don't see how he could get such speed increases.
Also 1500 lines of code is about normal for someone who is comfortable/experienced in coding a particular kind of software and is not having to learn anything particularly new like a new API or methodology.
Clorically expensive and also, oxygen intensive. birds have the most advanced lungs on the planet. Instead of inhaling and exhaling like we do, they pump air through their lungs ( in one pipe and out another just like a digestive system for air ) Even regular mammals/reptiles/amphibians have less efficient lungs. I don't see fish with gills making the jump to super efficient lungs starting from gills.
Mix en together and the chloroform sinks to the bottom ( keep on ice while making or it will evaporate )
You could also use pool chlorinator + water/ice and a can of acetone from the hardware store.
When I was a kid I mail-ordered 1lb Sulfur, 5lbs KNO3, 1lb Magnesium Powder, and 2 pints of concentrated sulfuric acid for about $35.00. The UPS guy handed over the boxes and had me sign for them commenting that he was glad to be rid of them.
I never ordered chemicals again because when I looked on the paper the UPS guy gave me I saw that the delivery guy had neglected to charge me $143.00 in hazardous material shipping charges. At 13 yrs old I would never have been able to come up with such a sum.
So I had fun blowing stuff up with that order's worth of chemicals. KNO3 + S + Mg mostly in cardboard tubes make big bang. ( use green fuse ).
I was gonna make some nitric acid ( KNO3 + H2SO4 ) and use that to make nitroglycerine but I didn't want hot acid blown by a high explosive shockwave to turn my face, arms and skull into hamburger so I didn't make that.
I did make some nitrocellulose but couldn't seperate it if I let it dissolve. ( I stuck cotton into the H2SO4 till it turned black, then added HN03 till it turned white. By now it was acid goo and not explosive as far as I could tell. I tried letting them soak for shorter times but even then, the dry stuff would not even burn any faster than untreated cotton. Dunno what I'd have to do to make it right..
I wish I could remember what I did for 100% sure but if you mess around with these chemicals yourself you will come across this effect.
Get yerself some lithium chloride. ( I got this from a chemistry set as a youth. ( we used to have a craft and hobby shop with a big rack of glassware and overpriced ( 2 bucks/oz ) chemicals. ) Salt substitute is Potassium chloride and is poisonous. In fact it is one of the three fatal poisons injected into condemned criminals to stop their hearts. ( too much potassium in the blood stops it from beating ) If you have ever tasted salt substitute you know how awful it's aftertaste is. Lithium chloride tastes *exactly* like salt ( sodium chloride ) I tasted it myself a few times. You could use it as a poison by putting it in someone's salt shaker if it's poisonois or use it for salt substitute if it is not. I suspect it is poisonous since nobody uses it for salt substitute and it tastes 1000% better than potasium chloride tho.
Get yourself some ( and this is what I cannot remember ) it was either sodium iodide or potassium iodide but prolly either would work ) dissolve your Lithium chloride in water to make a pretty strong solution. Then add the potassium/?sodium iodide. Feel the test tube as it very quickly heats up to painful temperatures forcing you to drop it on the floor. Feel the boiling hot liquid blister your leg where it splashes on you.
LiCl + KI should not react chemically since lithium is a stronger reducing agent than potassium so Lithium preferrs the Chlorine to the Iodine. But heat is given off when you mix these together. Alot of heat!
Another experiment: Mix Ammonium Nitrate with water. It gets REAL COLD.
First dissolve as much candle wax in a mayonaise jar full of gasoline as you can.
Then get yerself some gas line antifreeze ( 100% pure methyl or isopropyl alcohol ). Then add a few drops to a cap-full of the alcohol to your gas and wax solution.
Gleefully cheer when all the wax you disolved in the gasoline comes out of solution instantaneously
You should look for it as fertilizer ( 50 lb bags ) in Home Depot or you can sometimes find it or NaN03 in smaller ammounts as fertilizer or some stump remover. Also sulfur is cheaper from Agway ( sold as fungicide ) than from drug stores.
go to http://www.lindsaybks.com they have tons of kewl books for ppl like you.
I bought Wagners Chemistry 1872 and it ROCKS! Having trouble finding the chemical you want? That book will tell you how to mine it smelt it and work it up into a chemical fit to use to blow stuff up. How to make white phosphorus out of bones. How to make sulfuric acid out of sulfur . How to make cement out of rocks. How to make nitric acid out of sulfuric acid and saltpeter. How to make saltpeter out of a compost pile. How to make iodine out of seaweed. How to make metal out of ore. How to make glue out of horses. etc etc etc
How am I gonna call in my bomb threats and how am I gonna make anonymous tips to the police about crimes I committed? How am I gonna be a criminal mastermind when I grow up without a staple like the friendly payphone!

Where's a good easy to digest description of this? It's pretty interesting.

Americans LOVE higher fuel usage vehicles - like SUVs.
Also, who knows if this will be a piece of crap or if they will keep providing upgrades....
Does this fulfill a merit badge requirement?
