exactly, its like a d6 die... if i have to identify one (and only one) picture i'll have a 1d6 chance of getting it right
but when you have to roll this for 200 cities, also chosen by a 1d6 roll, you have two dies being rolled 200 times, and you want to know how many times both dies have the same value
yeah, but only if the program chose the same city 100$ of the times, which i guess the guy who created this program would realize its malfunctioning and then fix it.
Assuming that, from the 200 pictures set used to validate the program, the same amount of pictures were provided for each city (32 pics of each city) and that the program chosen then in the same proportion (the program identified [correctly or not] each city 32 times), you would have 16.6% * 16.6% = 2.75% chance of correctly identifying the city where a picture was taken
Do people realize just how much arable land is not in use? do people realize just how much arable land would remain if we used all available arable land and the quality of life we'd have ?
fork the project, allow the inclusionists to add as much information about trivial subjects in one and let the deletionists exclude this articles in the other.
coultn't then mediawiki be extemded to allow people to navigate from one wiki to another with a single click... allow to compare articles between both pedias... and, if an article in the trivialpedia get noteworthy enough, export it into the delete-o-pedia
i remember this very old tokusatsu (live action from japan) called CyberCops, where hi-tech cops in armor would request for additional weapons in a phone boot, and then the weapon would've be sent to a nearby trapdoor through a series of underground tunnels.
Oh wait -- Christians didn't set anything on fire over Piss Christ. Spanish Inquisition ?
Christian fundie violence occurs about 0.000001% as often as Islamist fundie violence. Goa Inquisition, Crusades, KKK, Ireland?
Most of these were things in the past, the same way islam was a peaceful religion in the past. Things changed, and people corrupted the original message of their beloved prophets. Fanatics christians corrupted the words of Christ, and fanatic islams corrupted the words of Muhammad. The key difference is that most christians stopped believing that much in their prophets words, to the point they dont give a shit about who says what about him, while some muslins with power abused the faith of the people and used them to wage war for their own profit.
Like many americans tell me when we talk about why the rest of the world hates the USA: "dont hate the common people, hate those whom have the power to lead them"
just tried what parent said, and accordingly to the way i held the pencil i could and couldnt felt pressure at its tip.
the first way, and the one i felt the pressure in the tip of the pencil, i held it the same way i always hold a pen, and that makes the tip of my index finger really close to the tip of the pencil. Therefore, what i felt could actually be the pressure i felt at the tip of my finger, but which by looking felt like it was at the end of the pen.
the second try i held the pencil with my hand closed, like in a punch, holding less than 10% of the extension of the pen. The tip of no fingers were touching the pencil, and by pressing it against the table i felt the pressure in the middle of my index finger, at the top of my thumb and in my wrist.
some mit dewds built a rope bridge, so what ? rope bridges are really common here in Brazil... atleast in the good ole german colonies, where they are found crossing all kind of rivers... yeah, some of them use steel, but it's almost the same thing

i have been using Symfony for the past 6 months to develop this huge project at work. Frankly, it's awesome and frustrating at the same time
it's a great framework, in only a few minutes i managed to create an almost complete backend application, and once you get used to the whole structure of the framework you can easily code stuff. It has support for scripaculous, ajax is just a line of code away, it has object orientation, you can easily re-route your pages in many ways you wish, you don't have to write a single line of PHP code to create a simple database layer, and you can easily expand it at will.
but once you get to complex stuff things start to get frustrating. The "Definitive Guide to Symfony" it's not nearly close to definitive, there is tons of stuff missing in there that you have to look in foruns, articles and blogs (i already had to seek for answers in sites in spanish, french and japanese). AJAX is the most simple stuff to do, but try to make a simple 'select something from table where foo = bar or move = zig', the documentation tells you to use OR one way, but you have to make a whole workaround for it. This is not a concern for me, i can easily find the answers in google, but it's been a hard deal for some of my inexperienced co-workers...
We already reached a conclusion that Symfony is like Linux: It's perfect! it's awesome! it has a great community of experienced users, but when it crashes, you better get out of the way, because only an expert will find out how to fix it.
honestamente isso seria a pior coisa q vc poderia fazer...
apenas estaria provando o ponto deles, alem de bancar o troll estupido...
a ultima coisa que precisamos eh de mais gente demonstrando sinais de 'sabedoria' e tentando tomar comunidades jah estabelecidas...

there was nothing strange in the coordinates provided in the article, but i found this dark spot nearby. Is this the 'evidence' ?

these were pretty common here in Brazil in the 80's and 90's. I still have my vaccine mark in my arm. As far as i remember, it hurt like hell.

sounds interesting, there is some cools screenshots on it... but where do i play it ?
