Once again, Google grabs something which existed long ago (in this case, "free video hosting websites") and makes it totally better (in this case, "no size restrictions and all you need to view any video is Flash").

I'm still waiting for the day when the Internet won't be called Internet anymore. It'll be called Google. "Today, I think I'm gonna check my Google Mail and my favorite newsgroups on Google Groups, then search for info on a new product on Google Search through the Google Toolbar and compare prices on Froogle, then find photos of it on Google Images, manage them with Picasa, show them to my friends through Hello, then talk to them through Google Talk and see their houses on Google Earth and while I'm at it, print some maps off Google Maps to actually go there."

Adding concentrated hydrochloric acid to copper sulphate solution is fun. If you add too much, you get fumes nd the solution goes green.

Concentrated sulphuric acid on a beaker of damp sugar is good as well.

Yeah, we haven't been allowed to do that though, just watch.

Aaaaah. I've recently started playing A Link To The Past again, and I've pretty much got everything, but there's a room in the last dungeon(gannon's tower) which I can't get to.

It's in a corridor over a large pit with some things firing balls at you from both up and down. You cross from left to right, and then there's a door up. But there's also a cracked wall down, but there's no way to getting in there.

I've searched around the walkthrous available, but they all say something like: "In this next room (which is more like a corridor) black balls (heh heh) are coming from both the north and south walls. Run straight across the corridor (getting hit a few times, probably) to the end of the corridor. There's a cracked wall to the south, but we can't get to it, so we'll have to ignore it."

But I can't ignore it :p
Does anyone know how to get in there?:p

I strongly agree with you there. It's sad how people shut their minds to new things and to the classics and just go with the mainstream. These days, if you want to hear good modern music you really have to look hard to find it.

It's the sad mac screen when you have a hardware error that prevents your mac from starting up. Usually, either bad RAM or a dead hard drive. Both = bad (the second = worse).

I don't get it! I usually get scared super easily. Something that would scare my friend would definitely terrorize me. He lent me F.E.A.R and the game kept him awake during night it scared him that much. This should mean that me playing would equal me with a heart attack. I started playing and I didn't scared. A skeleton jumping out of blood would usually make me turn off the game, instead I said "Oooh look at that."

And whenever someone else driving in another car was to make them a signal to turn the lights on, they should follow that car and kill everyone inside it.
Feh.

Unless your local gang has heard the rumour, and copied it, and actually killed someone, this is not true. And because this rumour is incredibly common and so far (according to Snopes), there have been somewhere between two and zero cases of anyone actually being killed, and these were years apart in different states, I'm not going to believe you until you show me a news clipping about a shooting. A news report about the threat of a shooting will not do, because those are ten a penny.

Dude, this thread has totally jumped the shark. I remember in the beggining when there was the Paul.Power character and he was talking about the idea of a thread which is completely off topic. It was really magical back then and showed real imagination.

Sadly, Paul's sold out. The new posts aren't exciting at all and just rely on tacky gimicks like capital letters and exclamation points. Personally, I think the writers of the new posts could take a lesson from some of the posts before page 74. It really went downhill after that. It was going downhill from 72 onwards but you knew the golden age was over when Worm-Nut said 'blue'. I'm not going to be reading any of the new pages and I'd advise other people who have grown disinterested by the 100% Off-Topic thread to check out Terry Pratchett's expanded universe threads. The 34.2% Off-Topic Thread, in particular is a real treat - getting back to the essence of what made this thread so essential while adding to the mythos with detailed explanations of what really happened to the dancing kangaroo and SomePerson's birthday.

I'll also be looking forward with eagerness to Joss Whedon's "I can't believe it's unrelated to the subject at hand" thread. It looks like it'll be much better than the populist rubbish that this has become.

Technically, we are still 100% off topic as long as we don't talk about hamsters.

Well, there have been people murdered for no apparent reason in highways. The one I can remember the most is one in which a classmate of my brother got murdered a couple of months ago. They found him a several meters away from the car, and his dad was found dead in the drivers seat. Both killed by gunshots.
There's been similar cases, like one in which a taxi was shot after it's driver honked(?) at some guys, who apparently got ****ed off by this. Taxi's usually do this to see if people who are walking around need a ride.
I don't have a news clipping of any of these, tho. The taxi one I heard on the radio news while riding a cab to school 3 years ago, so I can't be 100% sure. But the other one I am indeed sure of.

Does anyone know about any good books on Visual C++?

The jammy Americans get the entire first season of Count Duckula on DVD. Us Brits only get the first six episodes (Given we made it, I can't see the logic there...). Oh, well.

But yeah. Far, far too many classic quotes, so I'll give you a sample:

The whole "Hoomite Yubi" scene from No Sax Please, We're Egyptian.

Von Goosewing's Creature: "And my mouth feels like it is zer bottom of a trashcan... Oh. Oh, it is zer bottom of a trashcan."
- One Stormy Night

Duckula: "Nanny, you'll have to use your feminine wiles to seduce the guard!"
Nanny: "I could give 'im me manual on Engine Maint'nance, 'e might like that..."
- Transylvanian Homesick Blues

And of course, the Mutinous Penguins, which is just pure, unalloyed genius from start to finish.

Duckula: "According to my calculations, the castle should be... here"
Cap'n: "But that be the South Sea sir! Ooh, there's nothin' there but water sir. It's enough to drive a man mad, I tell ye. Mad! Maaad, ahahahaaa!
Duckula: "Well then, you must have been there quite a bit."
Mr. Mate: "Oi! Anyone 'oo talks to my cap'n like that, I bites their 'eads orf!"
Igor: "Ah! A man after my own heart!"
Mr. Mate: "Aye, an' anything else I can get me teeth into."

Cap'n: "Tie 'em to the yardarm, men!"
Mr. Mate: "We ain't got a yardarm, Cap'n. I ate it last week."
Cap'n: "Well then, what 'ave we got?"
Mr. Mate: "We got a comfy sofa, Cap'n."
Cap'n: "I can't say, 'Tie 'em to the comfy sofa!"
Mr. Mate: "It's all that's left, Cap'n."
Cap'n "All right then. Tie 'em to the... comfy sofa!"

Duckula: "You rats, you weasels, you skunks, you... you..."
Nanny: "Giraffes!"
Duckula: "Yes, you giraffes!... Giraffes!?"

Cap'n: "Prepare to fire grape shot!"
Mr. Mate: "Cap'n, couldn't we use pineapples, it'd 'urt more than grapes..."

And so on...

Cap'n: "Prepare to fire grape shot!"
Mr. Mate: "Cap'n, couldn't we use pineapples, it'd 'urt more than grapes..."
This explains a lot about what's going on around here.

I made a recursive program for that Fibonacci thing. I opened it 14 hours ago to find the 83rd or so position in the Fibonacci system, and it's still not finished. And yes, it does work. I tried with lower numbers.
The function has called itself 165,520,808 times so far.
I made another version using a regular loop. I'd guess it took less than a millisecond with 83. In fact, it only took a second with 16,000,000. (However, with printing progress like in the recursive one, it'd only do 1,500 per second)

That's impressive work. How did you find such an inefficient way to emulate five lines of code?

I think five lines. This is how I think it's done:x=y=1;
for (i=1; i<target; ++i)
{
y+=x;
x=y-x;
}
printf ("%i", x);

Yeah, that's basically how my regular loop worked, but the recursive function, on the other hand, was not as successful...

Oh, and did I say 83rd? I meant 40th. It just finished:

"102334155 is the 40th Fibonacci number
204668309 recursions"

The inefficiency was mostly because of this:

return (fib(n-2)+fib(n-1));

I'm probably the only person here who doesn't get to actually see his g/f in person.

Eh, nuts to that :p

40th Fibbonacci number? I could probably find that out in less than 14 hours by hand...

"102334155 is the 40th Fibonacci number
204668309 recursions"*looks at his hand results*

Well, one of us is wrong. I got 102333265...

What do you get for numbers 38 and 39?

(Took me about 10 minutes, BTW)

According to this website (http://math.holycross.edu/~davids/fibonacci/fib0-99.html) the 14 hour computer programme is more accurate than the 10-minute back-of-an-envelope.

Who'd've thunk it?

But with the latter you could correct a mistake in 10 minutes, or less if you're smart.

The computer programme would use another 14 hours...

In fact, if my calculations are correct, it would take 2.2997e+294, or 2,299,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to calculate the 1439th Fibonacci position with my quite ineffective recursive programme, whilst a programme using a simple loop took about a second. (This is with printing the progress; it'd be a few hundred times faster without that).

I don't suppose there's a reason why you're doing this, UX?

Not at all!

Very well. Carry on.

If it's any consolation, it wouldn't have taken as long as you guessed for the higher numbers, because you'd have filled the stack and it would have crashed.

Yup.

But as I said, I made another loop program for comparison, and it is about a million times faster and more efficient.

Wait, are they real words, or are you making things up?

My aunt's dog, Goliath, just died a while ago.
He'd been there like forever, and he had a grudge against me(then again, I'm probably the reason he didn't last any longer :p )
It'll feel kindof weird this christmas without him.

I think they're real. I read it somewhere.


Wordplays usually have some weird words or use some mistakes in the spelling/grammar rules to make them weird.

ie: delete threads so as there's only 8000 posts left.

I was thinking of going to the movies, but there's not much to see.
So I was thinking about going to see Doom :eek:
Anyone seen it? Is it worth going to the movies for?
It's either that or "What the bleep do you know?".

Why not see Saw 2?

I'm not sure that's out here.
Thing is I've got some free tickets to whatever I want to see(courtesy of a local supermarket), but they expire on Nov 30.
Otherwise I would wait for Chronicles of Narnia(?).

Doom is horrible and Saw looks quite bad though I haven't seen it. Good Luck and Good Night is a great movie if you like documentaries. There's also History of Violence which is supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't seen it yet. And of course there's Harry Potter.;)

Doom is horrible
Is it not supposed to be a horror movie, though?

You know, I just merged two posts over in Online Orgy, and Opera, or vB, or something decided it would be fun to merge the whole thread into one post. I caught it before it actually did it, but really, it's lucky I pay so much attention, or this whole place would just fall apart.

I can't imagine what would happen if THIS thread were merged into a single post. Wow.

What's the average post length in this thread? 100?

100*265*30 = 795,000

A 795kB post... Damn.

Let's not forget 305 attachments...

... and also the fact that there's a 20,000 charectars per post limit :)

... and also the fact that there's a 20,000 charectars per post limit :)

I'd assume post merging can break that limit.

I'd assume post merging can break that limit.
I doubt it. I think it works by editing one post and deleting the rest. The remaining post is chosen from a list of merged ones and marked as "edited by" the mod -- who can, if they want to, edit the merged message as they please before finishing the merge. I think me and thomasp can actually hard-delete posts that way, though it still leaves the "edited by" line on a post somewhere.

Anyway, the point is that the merged post is entered in an edit box much like the one I'm typing this into, so you probably couldn't bypass the character limit with it.

I was thinking something kinda similar. :p

I've just woken up after falling asleep after being awake for 26 hours 45 minutes, during 10 hours of which I was enjoying a LAN party in a net café sort of thing in the centrre of Dublin.

SpiderLan: it's fantastic!

I was awake for a little over 40 hours once.



My eyes were red and itchy for the rest of that summer...

I was awake for 32 hours once, I think I slept for 12 hours after that... Got to put off all my chores. Hehe.

I've never been awake for more then 18 hours.:p

Anyone ever noticed how Paul.Power is a big fan of trains, and he's also Mr. Offtopic, and the term when a thread goes completely off-topic is "This thread has been derailed"?

lol

Never noticed the obsession with trains.:p

Hmm. I've pulled at least three all-nighters in my time, though never on purpose. I've been known to sit up chatting and drinking with friends all night at least twice, and I've found myself awake on my own all night at least twice. One was an overnight flight, but it was an overnight flight to Menorca, so it only lasted an hour or two. I was the only person awake the following day. I tend not to notice it, really. If I can get through the night I won't be tired the next day.

I just started learning Python and - that's right - I ported my fibonacci code over.

Now I know that the 65536th position in the fibonacci sequence is...


Well, damn. It's over 13000 digits, and the forum won't let me post more than 12000.

... and now I ran the 123014th fibonacci number through another programme of mine.

digits

0 = 729
1 = 726
2 = 711
3 = 705
4 = 699
5 = 682
6 = 727
7 = 702
8 = 767
9 = 749
total = 7197


fascinating.

My city in Sim City 3000 is becoming quite large. I'm getting some skyscraper-sized apartment buildings.

Spore or Counter-Strike: Source anyone?

I've read about what has happened, and am truly sorry for those affected.

Glad to hear no one was killed

Apparently someone tried to make a porn flick with Daleks :eek: luckily the BBC immediatly banned it.

Now what everyone's worried about is the potential for toxic clouds...

Hopefully it drifts over to France:p (no offense to anyone from France;))

Remind me where Hertfordshire is?

I think it's one of those irritatingly vague ones just north-west of London. I can do Wales, the North, the South West, the Midlands (sort of) and the area around and to the south of London, but I can never get the counties there right.

Next door to Essex and North London.

Apparently, my parents (who live not far from Stansted Galactic Airport, as it will soon be called :mad: ) heard the explosions and initially thought the chimneys had come down (we live in an old farm house). After a quick inspection, they thought a plane had crashed at the airport (when that Korean Air 747F crashed at Stansted in 2000ish, it made a big bang, even 15 miles away from the airport). They were then puzzled by the lack of sirens from police/fire/ambulance that would normally be associated with an aircrash. They turned the radio on and heard about the explosion.

And I missed it all up here in Loughborough :(

That's almost like that firework factory exploding in Denmark. It could be heard all the way up here in Norway.

I saw a video of it. The cameraman who stood 3km away got hit by the shockwaves so he fell.

Crazy stuff.

I saw that video.

It was spectacular.

After a quick search on Google: [Firework a'splode (http://www.compfused.com/directlink/439/)]

Personaly, I think this one's more spectacular.

Oh, yeah. I saw that one too a while ago.


Crazy, crazy stuff...

Did Ben show you that site, or have we more than two Gorummers in our little clique?

I've finally got good clothes to use :p
I'm not the kind of person that worries much about the clothes I'm wearing, but you really had to see what my wardrobe consisted of before my aunt took me shopping yesterday.

Ooh. Clothes!


You'd never know I was geeky if you judged me by my clothes. You'd probably think I was some rebellious tagger or something :p

My only problem with clothes is I hate shopping. It takes forever to find clothes that fit me, since they don't make many for thin & tall people like me, just tall & fat or short & thin.

This year I reached the point I only had one pair of pants left so I was forced to go shopping.

Same thing here.

Being tall and skinny sucks. Damn you metabolism, you win this time! And the next. And the next...

I like to wear interesting shirts. That's about as extensive as my passion for clothes gets. I think I own two pairs of pants that aren't blue jeans, and those are black khakis I needed to work at Toys R Us last year.

I do have a couple of nice jackets, though. I really like the new denim one I got for my birthday. Too bad I'll pretty much have to wait until Spring to wear it.

8000 replies! (8001 now)

Woo, I had the 8000th post. *dance*
