I think you'll find that 2^32 is actually pretty close to 4billion, so they must already have a 64bit bank account, that means they need to get $2^64 (not +1, we start counting from 0 remember, and probably so does the bank). So when they get $18 quintillion (~ $18,000,000,000,000,000,000) they will go bankrupt.
One wonders what the attraction of such a game is. Maybe for those with a dislike of Ben Stiller may enjoy bouncing him around.
I think that pinball is best enjoyed with a big table that you can hit rather than just a window you control by damaging the shift keys on your keyboard.
Maybe it is best that it stays in the arcade. The digital version has been living on borrowed time for too long anyway. Its time has come? Hurrah!
Is it just me or did the original poster say that they did not want to hear people say 'use printf' or 'use a gdb frontend'. And how many people replyed saying 'duh... every tried using a print statement?'

Finally, what do I use for multithreaded application debugging? I don't have a tool for once I've cut the code but if you define your system using Finite State Processes then you can use the LTS Analyser to check for deadlocks etc and you can step through a concurrent system generating whatever event you like. It is worth a look, although matching your code to your model is still tricky. And of course you need to learn FSP, but the website above teaches you.

Who modded this as a troll!? This guy is making perfectly valid criticisms!
Do you drive your SUV off the cliff? If not, why expect a phone to survive a drop from a height that is 50 times its dimensions?
I expect my finger ring to survive a fall from 50 times its dimensions. Whoops, sorry, I just invalidated your comparison.
Like someone said before, phones are treated roughly, they should be built to take it

It is good to know that geeks like you and I still exist. It gives me a sense of comfort to know that I am not alone. *sigh*
