Names of parameters mean nothing. Type safety is the ultimate goal. The function should have been designed to pass a type designed to represent a prime number, or the function should have checked the parameter to verify that it was prime (which of course can't really be done)
if you read the ask slashdot carefully, you'll notice the submitter is an idiot and discusses factoring large primes
no shit, sherlock. The original poster was stupid. The poster who began this thread made a stupid joke and I made a stupid joke about his stupid joke that made a lot of people all hot and bothered.
The point of the matter is that it's all stupid, so go bug out, okay?
...features six hours of additional material including a documentary about the movie made by Lucas and the movie's other filmmakers...
Excellent! I look forward with anticipation to the 6 hours of "The Jar Jar Justification," "The Birth of Jar Jar" and "Hey Jar, wassa happenin? Yousa wanna doa interviewsa?"
You, sir, are a very smart person and I hope most of the people who read this article read your post.
Corporations are not nameless entities. They are filled with people like you and me, some bad, some good. Not everyone follows the tenets of the organization all the time, nor should they. They are human beings, not slaves, with rights to think differently than those around them.
Some people in HP thought it would be in the best interests of the company to threaten another group of people who they thought were blackmailing them. When upper management found out, they took matters into their own hands and corrected it according to good common sense. That's how it works folks. HP is not the devil. They are just a company trying to sell a product and provide a living and sense of purpose for their employees.
BTW, I am not an HP employee, but I do play one on TV... hehe
How can they even think to come up with that figure of $59.5 billion??? If they had done their homework at all and studied the software company I work for, they would have to totally revise their numbers...
1) If there are any./ers who haven't read these books, they should be officially stripped of their geek status. 2) If they don't understand your sig (42), they should also be stripped of their status.;-)
I think we're pretty safe talking about plot twists and spoilers in the books here.:-)
"Let's see here. You have 1 carton of milk, a block of cheese, a six-pack of corona in the back (minus one, sorry!), a bowl of... hmmm, what is that stuff? Looks disgusting. Did you make that yourself? Get it outta here! And yes, here we are, a bottle of... mmmm, not sure... a bottle of brown stuff, let's just say. You can figure it out later... 12 pack of Mountain Dew, missing a few since last night. Leftover pizza (2 weeks leftover, I might add. Disgusting!) Ughh, what are you, a nerd or something? Perhaps you should find a girl to keep me clean and well stocked. I especially like fruits and vegetables. Such a nice aroma!"
Perhaps you should talk about your emotions with someone who can help you analyze why you think all these things. Deep set hatred for things is usually based on something and finding other ways to cope with that something can help you get rid of your feelings of hatred and turn yourself away from the path of self-destruction.
If you shoot for the stars and end up getting the moon, you still didn't get to the stars and that sucks. If you shoot for the moon and get it, then you're doing pretty darn well, I'd say.
It's your own damn fault for expecting more out of a movie than it can give you.

Hence, my joke about breaking the function... Not too hard to understand either...

The function takes an int, not a prime. I passed an int and it gave me the wrong answer.
BTW, you don't need a function to factor primes. Primes can't be factored!!! However, you do want a function to determine if a number is prime or not.
I see no precondition that I violated. The only requirement of the function is that the parameter be an int, which I followed.
BTW, it was a joke. Lighten up.
No duh. But the function takes an int. 8 is an int, therefore I passed a valid number to the function.
Jesus, you take things too seriously. It was a fucking joke.
I just broke the function... I passed the number 8 to it...

Hear, Hear. That was an excellent Fuck-U! to all the idiot posters here who are happy with the status quo and don't know how to reason... or dream...
Games DON'T affect kids. If PacMan did, we'd all be eating pills and listening to repeditive music...
It's off topic, but I just have to say that I love you sig. Very funny. (BTW, it's "repetitive")
Just like Slashdot to take a deadly serious issue and turn it into light-hearted fun!
Whenever you type in a query, we're actually looking for the communities after you type the query.
Oops, did you let that slip?

Up, of course.

Oh please, lighten up and learn to love life instead of being a bastard.
M$ has veto power? Oh, right, the repubs are in charge now.

And thus technology advances...

Get used to it. When you get in the real world, you oftentimes have to take a written test during an interview.
If you can't think on the fly, you'd better start practicing.
Uh, I wouldn't call George Lucas and ILM "Hollywood"
That man hates Hollywood, which is why he formed his own company to handle the production of his movies.
Methinks you are confusing two VERY different entities.
