Which, according to the "great" auto-conversion of PHP would print the string "Python" before exiting, because it converts unknown constant names to strings. If you put a "define("Python",0xFA1);" in above the die(), it will print the integer "4001" and return it as an errorlevel. If you instead use "define("Python",0xFA1.L);", it will just print "4001L" and not return it as an errorlevel.
That is, why "easier" is not always easier, but sometimes actually harder. The reason why we can't stand Clippy. The reason some can't stand many Microsoft or Apple products at all. (And many other "so easy an idiot could do it (but actually only an idiot still can do it!)" products. It'shalf the reason people have problems with computers nowadays. And why the resulting idiocy of auto-typecasting is one of the biggest failures in programming language design ever. ^^
I second parent. Although it must be said, that it's a generic torrent search engine. So it indexes the content of mininova, thepiratebay, private trackers, some small trackers, etc. It has its own tracker too, however.
But since you find everything that you find elsewhere, and it even has login-management for those other sites, there's no point to going to the individual sites anymore.
The only thing missing is, that I think they should share ads with those sites. Meaning that on a detail site for a torrent, they should show the ads of the other sites. That way, nobody would have any financial problems. (Apart from every educated person not working in marketing using an ad-blocker anyway. ^^)
A virtual country to own virtual propery, including software as this. A country which by definition has no rules of any kind, and is outside of every jurisdiction, because you can't sue or attack anyone from it. It would work like an encrypted multi-mirrored darknet. Every real server participating, would store a set of "random noise" data blocks on his systems. Nobody could decrypt it, including that server. Only people inside the darknet with access to their private block could. Nobody could delete it, because there would always be at least 3 copies, floating in the darknet, encrypted differently, so that you would not be able to know that they contain the same data.
As an easter egg it would contain a honeypot, which would contain only one short sentence: "NOW WHAT, BITCHES?";)
Why not Just say 1E9 or even 1 * 10^9 for "a thousand million". If someone has a problem with understanding that, then what does he do on this site anyways? ^^ (Ok, actually everybody had this at school, so I can expect this to be a normal term, used on national television. But noo, they *could* lose the total retards by not using it. We can't have that!!:/)
This reminds me of the "human repellent" of Count Dracul. (The source of the Dracula and Vampire legends. You can thank him for Twilight.) He just put a huge load of humans or heads on poles around his castle.
But just like the cockroaches will get used to it, and learn the difference (albeit slowly) between real dead and fake dead bugs, so did the humans in Romania. Dracul's dead was not pretty. Not even by his standards. ^^
The interesting thing to me as a possible future designer of a game of a similar scale, is how much and what is needed exactly. Because massive can differ quite a bit, from the power of a car ("a massive 800 PS") to the amount of atoms in the universe ("a massive 10E79 to 10E81 atoms").
In other words, it narrows it down a good bit. E.g. from the range of 800 to 10E81 servers. ^^
Problem is: You act as if anything religion-based would actually have to make sense or follow any standards of logic. Religion is by definition a lack of those things. Trying to use logic on it, is like writing complaint letters to fight a dragon.
And what does it being registered have to do with anything? Is a disease just a disease, when it's registered? Cult = religion = a kind of reality distortion = schizophrenia = disease. It's that simple. (Of course the defense mechanism of repression would never allow the affected people to accept that truth, and they will now try to mod me to "hell" in a defensive rage of irrational hatred. That's just a normal symptom, that protects their mind from dying because of the resulting invalidation of their whole religion-based reality.)
I hope humanity will find a cure as soon as possible.
So when I open the case on a computer that is on, I violate a law (or regulation?)?
Does the case of the other device have to be open too, for something bad to happen? And what would happen then? Could I induce something flashy with light and sparks and all the fun stuff? ^^
Desktops are a very bad idea, unless you got an unusually big upper body and accordingly adjusted working place. Because else you will have to look up all day long, which will give you neck stiffness, then neck pain, nausea and headache.
I had it, I'm very happy I got rid of it, as it killed my mood too, and I'll never look back.:)
And I hate jurors too, because they evaluate things in terms of right and wrong, without having a freaking clue about the topics discussed. And by definition so. Because a jury is made of people who were too stupid to find an excuse not to go there. ^^ Also, it's still based on the very outdated and frankly pretty retarded idea, that there's a absolute right and wrong. Which is proven not to exist since we know that our realities are relative to something, and everything we perceive is by definition biased by that relativity. (What we call non-biased, is simply what fits our reality.)
It's just like deciding if evolution exists trough majority vote of the general population.
Without water? Yeah, because you know that *exactly*, for all time, and for every condition physically possible. Are you a medical doctor? Because you sound just as arrogant as them: "If I don't know about it, it can not possibly exist! Period! And no, it's also impossible that I just don't know certain things. After all, I'm a God.";)
First off all, there is by definition no planet without "raw materials". Or else it would be empty space.
Second, I would love to see you prove (hard proof!) how life is not possible without water. I'm going to do the opposite. Because I don't think it will be hard to look that up on Wikipedia. And whatever the results will be, I'll be happy to now know better. How about that?
Because I think you will fail. Hard. And then not admit it. ^^
I think simplifying something as complex as this to a formula is just asking for a failure.
I mean if we can't even find a formula for weather... And this thing is vastly more complex. (If you don't think so, you've got no idea of the sheer number of stars or even galaxies out there.) Additionally, the whole thing is strongly tainted by the inside-the-box thinking of seemingly everyone in that area. They limit themselves to "only where water is, only where oxygen is, only where the planet is thisandthis far away, only at that temperature, etc, etc, etc".
If you gave the chance to bet money on something to be proven wrong, take this thing. It's the safest bet you will ever be able to make. ^^
No it's not warped and obfuscated. ReCaptcha gives you the word as-is.
GP is using faulty logic (circular reasoning I think).
If ReCaptcha improves OCR algorithms, then not only spammers will have access to them, but so does the effort behind ReCaptcha. So the now scannable words would be scanned and never turn up there. ReCaptcha would just present you with those words that would still not be scannable by any OCR.

What are those lattices made of? What is the magnetic field generator made of?
I can make a motor of zero atoms too. I just have to wrap it in a traditional electric motor. :P
I KNEW it! ^^
Gentlemen, you've just helped me prove your own failure. Thank you very much. :D

My calculator (Qalculate!) tell me, that
((1 exabyte) day) ((1 exaflop) second) to byte day
= 11.574074... (0.1^flop) TB
That does not make any sense to me. Can someone elaborate? ^^

The employees at Tesco seem to be immune to mind tricks,
Well, duh. No mind, no tricks. ^^
Of course this does not address the removal of [...] other contaminants.
You mean like chlorine, iodine and silver? ^^

LOL! Now I sprayed coke all over my computer!
It's not the CSI effect, it's the "most Americans are stupid" effect.
Which in itself is the reason CSI even exists.
And so the circle closes. ^^

to get jurors to sign a form explicitly stating they won't "use 'personal electronic and media devices' [...]"
Yeah. That will stop 'em! Just as swearing on the bible means that presidents will be honest.
Seriously. Is he drunk or is that some type of lawyer disease that makes him believe that that will work?
Wanna see how hard it is to counter your well-founded argument?
The first kind probably does.
No it most likely doesn't.
There. That's all it takes. Soft argument, soft counter-argument, done. ^^
Now get some basis for your arguments, or get lost. ;)
Without water? Yeah, because you know that *exactly*, for all time, and for every condition physically possible. ;)
