  1. Re:anyone else getting the feeling... on Prime Numbers Not So Random? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The reason - it's impossible to prove anything on an infinite set of data that isn't defined in the parameters of the data set.
    This is not physics, in math u can easily prove theories involving infite data sets. Hello? irrational numbers? infitie series? they were all logically proven. Its *NOT* noteworthy because anyone can come up with these observations, but it takes a genius to prove it.

  2. anyone else getting the feeling... on Prime Numbers Not So Random? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    the interval thing seemed like such a trivial observation. surely many others have easily noticed that. Its another "I think i discovered a pattern" claim, while still have no way to prove it.

  3. the oldies... on Public Domain Image Repositories? · · Score: 2, Informative


    you are looking for images that is public domain on the internet? works of art usually have to be at least half a decade old or to have their copyrights expired...

    tho you could always rip pics from the antique roadshow online =)

  4. Re:Any long amount of time in front of a computer on Programming Marathons? · · Score: 1

    well, thats precisely why we have caffine beverages such as the Monster Energy Drink

  5. Re:Isn't this kind of a "no duh" on More Random Randomness · · Score: 1

    actually, the most failsafe pseduo number generating algorithm for encryption purposes would be to setup a link on the supercomputers thats still calculating the digits of PI and constantly update it. No one in the right mind would attempt to caculate the some trillionth digits in PI by themselves.
    and random numbers DO NOT exist =)

  6. Re:TI-83 on Seeking a Simple Programmer's Calculator? · · Score: 1

    are you kidding? you can't even change base on the 83. thats a school calculator... not for programmers.

  7. best programmer calc on Seeking a Simple Programmer's Calculator? · · Score: 1

    this calc i found can do all kind sort of bit manipulation functions including bitshift, bitand, bitor etc.. and it can work in unconstrained bases from base 2 to base 69!

  8. suppose to be a serious matter of discussion? on Meteorite Hits Girl · · Score: 1

    this is oddly more amusing than "man being hit by football" or the exploding manhole accidents... and also reminds me of diablo2...

  9. Re:Warcraft III storyline sucks! on First Warcraft 3 Reviews Trickle In · · Score: 1

    yup, i agree, SC storyline was much better. this totally lacked character development. the only character that i thought had a future was Arthas, but they seemed to drown him out in the middle of campaigns.

  10. Re:Zoom out? on First Warcraft 3 Reviews Trickle In · · Score: 1

    u can manipulate the camera anyway you like in the editor, but i think Blizz is smart enough to realize that panning and rotation around ruins the stragetic element of RTS games. its a good reason why many other 3D rts games failed.

  11. 64 tons of american pride.... on World Cup Final · · Score: 2, Funny

    football is a far more accurate name for "soccer" anyways, since you are kicking it with your foot. i read this hiliarous editorial in TIME. says that Americans dont seem to care about football due to the lack of education in international geography. "the only countries Americans know are they ones that attack them." this is stereotypical... but still funny "you live in canada?, what state is that?"

  12. best game to name kids after on Geeky Child Names? · · Score: 1

    zork.

  13. no support for applets? on Eclipse 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    ive just downloaded eclipse, interesting platform, but is there no support for java applets? java apps seems to work fine tho...

  14. bnetd deserves it on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 1

    Battle net is a FREEEE online gaming service, unlike all the other games outthere that requires a monthly fee to play online. For $60, you can get a great game and play online with millions of others whenever you like. Cheap games that charge monthly fees to play deserves to be hacked, blizz deserves their rights as a fair, quality gaming company.

  15. Tis are more useful for programming than graphs on Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom · · Score: 2, Interesting

    quite alot ppl think that TI-calcs ruin the learning process when students become too dependent on trying to find the anwsers with graphs. but im doing calculus in high school and use graphs mainly to check for anwsers. What most people are missing out on is the programming capabilities on the TIs. you can create simple programs that will compute functions otherwise extremely long and pointless. the language is very simple, (and if you want, u can always use ASM)and useful. Like in a couple seconds i can generate 4 lines of code that will fill a list or matrix with a sequence of numbers and generate the product of say every 3rd element. I also made a program that calculates the area of any triangle formed by the intersection of 3 lines. In doing so, it not only makes your life easier but also help you grasp the concepts when you program them. Its different from programming at home since i can do this when i get bored on math class or somethin. In this perspective, the TIs are far superior to the PDAs and do not make students dumber.
