In the "good" old days, there was mods, maps, map editors.
Now a days good luck being able to do any of that. The big publishers only care about pushing out the "next big" title, year after year.
There is a player created 16 player coop patch for Rainbow Six: Las Vegas 2. Lots of fun.
Ubisoft shits on its PC gamers -- who supported and _allowed_ the company_ to grow before Ubisoft sold out to console gamers because those "PC Gamers" are all "dirty pirates".
How about respecting us gamer and giving us tools so you have free marketing like Valve does with Portal 2 Workshop !?!?
reverseSentence() is a very good test question. I usually ask people to write itoa(), aka, a simplified printf(). For bonus points write it so it doesn't need a string reverse.:-)
Like you said, part of being a great programmer is being able to identify and code around the edge cases. The masters understand variable naming and whitespace (aka, alignment).
I realize you were joking; that explains "How", but not the
* "What caused the Big Bang in the first place?" * "If energy can never be created, nor destroyed -- the universe has always existed in some form -- then Why do we even exist at all?", that is, * "What is the purpose of the universe?" (Answer: Relationships, which is just a short way of saying "To Know Itself.") * "Why does Time appear to only flow in one direction?" (Answer: The brain wasn't designed to perceived the infinite; only the linear, otherwise the brain would "short-circuit" and burn itself out) * "Why do we dream?" (Answer: The higher-mind uses the universal language of symbols to communicate with the lower-brain.)
Science, like all applied philosophy, has a domain; an edge to its knowledge - it is limited in what it IS able to know, and NOT able to know.
Inside it, Science is a fantastic logical system. Outside its domain, Science is completely useless.
How is Science incomplete?
Science by definition is amoral. It asks "How can we build this nuke?" but it never stops to ask "Should we build this weapon?" It is not interested in morality, ethics, "consequences", etc. Only knowledge on its quest for Truth.
Science will never understand the complementary "Life Before Life" nor "Life After Death" until it merges with Spirituality -- it will forever be incomplete as long as consciousness is ignored from the equations. To understand consciousness is to understand Death; to understand Death one first needs to understand Life; to understand Life is to understand the Linear and Non-Linear. Currently, Science doesn't have a clue about embracing the polar opposite system of lower linear Logic at a higher level: non-linear Intuition.
The weakness of Science is that it is not able to go outside its own box; thus it is trapped in its own system of knowledge. Together the linear Logic and non-linear Intuition blend together to a greater understanding. For example, the higher-mind can teach you that Science will one day discover: White Holes, see the quantum energy exchange between White Holes and Black Holes, Silicon will be used as new basis of consciousness with true Actual Intelligence (a.i.) instead of the fake Artificial Ignorance (A.I.), that there are 6 fundamental forces, that First Contact will happen by 2024, that Judaism + Christianity + Islam will eventually unite as they learn to set aside their differences and respect what they have in common, etc.
Science is a fantastic system to understand Truth (by removing Falsehood). But it is only half of the (wonderful) picture of Reality.
> it would be difficult to hold anyone accountable.
Whoever built the hardware, and programmed the software would be accountable.
In shootings we hold the shooter responsible because it was a human who committed the crime. Since there is no human on the end, we can simply go back up the "chain" to find the people who ARE responsible.
You see, that's the beautiful thing about Linux -- if one company doesn't respect the freedom and spirit of the GPL we have options -- with Microsoft we don't. In the best case, other distributions on the desktop. In the worst case, even BSD on servers.
If some sys admin "sold" out to Red Hat and wonder why they don't have the same freedoms, they are the cause of the problem, not Red Hat for trying to take advantage of the situation.
And you still call your TV "Television", your car "Automobile" or "horseless carriage", your ATM "Automated Teller Machine", Fax "Facsimile", Kleenex "Tissue", Xerox "photocopy", etc. right?
People abbreviate things over time. It is efficiency or an optimizationin time spent communicating: long words slowly become shorter words; usually a few syllables for convenience's sake.
Religion, which is simply _one_ *tool* to help towards enlightenment, has nothing to do with our spiritual parents (Pleiadians) coming to check in to see how their "children" are doing.
Sure. There is 7 different types of consciousness - 3 below humans and 3 above human. This is no accident. I will leave it to you to also experience the joy of (re)discovery of what they are. Your life will never be the same again. Lucid Dreaming is a great spring board to Meditation which is usually the fastest way, but use what ever techniques and religion(s) that you feel help.
By 2024 first (public) contact will happen. Technically, contact already happened thousands of years ago but on a limited level so as not to interfere with the mass level of free will and create mass panic. Mankind is finally spiritually mature enough to handle the truth of our past and learn about our glorious future:
Eventually we will be allowed to know that we are the spiritual children of the Pleiadians. Ever parent wants to know how their children are; someday we will do the same and be "aliens" to our legacy.
The fact that we are not alone (which by itself is freaking amazing!) will be completely over shadowed by the fact that our "parents" are humanoid too! There is a reason we have 5 fingers (which is technically 1+4 working together); consciousness has a plan on how it evolves itself.
2024 is extremely important -- it is the year men learn to stop living in fear -- of others and of themselves. We are greatly loved by the universe in spite of our myopic greed and xenophobia.
Our future is one of unlimited joy as we discovery how to properly balance and blend Science and Spirituality (the astute reader will notice that Science is amoral by definition - hence part of the problem of being an incomplete philosophy); some have dubbed us in our golden age as "homo spiritus" - the title is appropriate.
From a limited perspective this all sounds crazy; but then again all the great paradigm shifts sounded that way - at first.
When you see news about the Quantum Energy exchange between white holes and black holes, and the 2 missing fundamental forces, you will have further proof that time (and meta-knowledge) can be transcended.
> Then you're in science fiction land...woo hoo! I like scifi as much as the next/.er but your imaginations of the possible existence of a civilization that can fully digitize continuous data is worthless to a **scientific discussion**
You're proof of a paradigm shift will come in 2024. Human consciousness is only one of the many different types.
The OP is not letting on to how much he knows about consciousness however they are right about extraterrestrial intelligences.
> To be science it must be able to be tested.
And you assume consciousness passes exactly what test again?
Scientists are still ignorant of the lower 3 types of consciousness; what makes you assume they have a clue on how to test for a higher level one???

Indeed !
Still waiting to find season 1 of "Absolute Boy" (Zettai Shonen) with English subtitles without paying a small fortune.
Amazon has one copy of Season 1 @ $65 (with Subtitles in French and Dutch, gee NO thanks -- want ENGLISH), but for how long?

LOL. That's a fantastic joke! Here's another one:
"When I die I hope my wife sells my speakers for what they're worth rather than what I told her I paid for them." :-)
Agreed 100%.
I wore out my MDR 7506s using them over 10 years; I finally upgraded to the Senns 380 Pro.
These Velour Earpads breathed new life into my MDR 7506s. Soft, smooth, and ultra comfortable:

Agreed ! I love my Senn's 380Pros (and Sony MDR 7506s); there are LOTS of GOOD choices under $200 these days.
1. Audio Technica ATH-M50
2. Jaybird Bluebuds X
3. V-Moda Crossfade LP
4. Grado SR80i
5. Beyerdynamic Custom Pro One

Here is one review of the: Beats Pro vs Audio Technica ATH-M50

IMHO Beats is like Bose. Overpriced, and blows.

First Contact is coming 2024. Are you ready to handle the next paradigm shift and evolution in consciousness?
Religion, which is simply _one_ *tool* to help towards enlightenment, has nothing to do with our spiritual parents (Pleiadians) coming to check in to see how their "children" are doing.
I think you mean Pleiadians :)

It is time to spiritually wake up.
They are coming by 2024 to check on their *children*. The fact that we look so similar will be the more interesting archtype question.
In the future *we* will do the same as we spiritually evolve to a higher level of intelligence, wisdom, and properly balance Science and Spirituality.
The *cycle* of consciousness has been going on for billions of years; nothing is going to stop it simply because of your myopic view.
First Contact will happen by 2024.
Enough people are ready to handle the truth: The human body is a arch-type.

If progress is advancement, what is congress ?
Thanks! Guess that one was before my time.
And a person's sexuality has exactly what bearing on their ability to code again ???
> and not free hardware as he stated?
Free is an overloaded term. Does it refer to:
a) price?
b) freedom?
Documented hardware leaves no ambiguity that it is about "freedom".
The old colloquialism was "Free as in Speech, not Beer"
