RE: Mohammed the clock kid cons country to get sneak peek at Obama's penis for TERRORISM!
I object, I was promised there would be cocks and asses but I have yet to see either, let alone one inside the other.
Remedy this immediately or I will be forced to do it for you.

RE: TIL that in C++, you can declare variable in if statement
There was once a man with eyes like sexy dinner plates, approximately 8 inches accross (I measured, with my massive wang) who saw the discourse and injected it with his salty surprise. From this germinated a legend, proud and mighty, and from the tip of the legend ejaculated a message, a message of the sexiest proportions.
Then there was a forest of dicks, in which Hanzo hid from the baddies or something. People didn't see him because reasons, but he was there, being useless at everything.
Now I kneel here, mouth open wide, ready to recharge my salty surprise supply. I will consume your strength and add it to my own. give me your strength mortal, for I am the mighty jizz demon of the north, and the north remembers how to take a load.

RE: Undeletable semi-visible icon!
this shortcut did not appear in that folder.
just saying.

RE: Undeletable semi-visible icon!
These shortcuts are stored in a folder - some where like %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch Otherwise R click and hold any other icon, then select "file location" or similar and explore from there.
Ok, so I did 2 things I haven't done before that might have solved this:
I ran SSMS from the broken shortcut
I removed the OTHER SSMS shortcut I added in the wake of adding this broken one. using the location loose suggested.I signed out and back in again, and the invisible one was visible (after a fashion) and right-click able, so I was able to unpin.
crisis averted. I have no idea which one of these things solved the problem, or even how it happened (it involved dragging the program from the shitty custom fake start menu thing I installed which I regret because it's shitty)

Undeletable semi-visible icon!
In windows 8, I have made to find a big bug of the nature of problem.
I have to made a shortcut to SSMS on the quick launch/task bar in the screen of the desktop mode bottom of start menu next.
Button is no image! right click for to give no delete button! left click program do begin to launching good.
why windows 8 does? how fix?
sorry my broken english

interestingly enough, its even MORE broken now day 1 has finished. It's counting up on the time remaining to meet todays milestones, kicked everyone out of their games at least twice, and cleared the milestone progress out completely.
GG steam.

RE: Setting up basic synchronization
I think the problem, at least from my understanding of what you are trying to do, is that you are refusing to trust the servers these clients communicate their data to, to access the data. This seems like the sticking point that is going to cause you the most problems.
Is there really no way you can communicate to a trusted server to validate the data and report back if a client is corrupted? It makes all of your complexity vanish

RE: Steam's dumb monster clicking game (was: everything on Steam is broken.) (Everything on Steam is still broken, though.)
True, but the important thing is you cant counterspell my splinter twin the following turn.
Basically, if I lose the exarch I still have the twin in hand, and the 2 pestermites I have mean I am more likely to draw the exarch half than the splinter twin half. Once I expose the first half of my combo, I want to protect the second half as much as possible.
realistically, I will be more likely to tap white or red mana down to protect against path to exile and rending volley, but that's getting into way too many specifics for this thread about video games

RE: Steam's dumb monster clicking game (was: everything on Steam is broken.) (Everything on Steam is still broken, though.)
In all seriousness though, I have played a LOT of legacy (it's my preferred format) turn 1-2 kills happen at most 10% of the time. Players of combo decks will have higher averages obv but assuming you are playing a "fair" deck those sorts of losses are a lot rarer than you think.
I play combo in legacy and I normally end up going off turn 3 or later unless I get a sick hand and my opponent gets a bad one.

I could go off turn 1, but I'm not playing belcher so I'd rather play safe!

RE: Steam's dumb monster clicking game (was: everything on Steam is broken.) (Everything on Steam is still broken, though.)
we are playing legacy right?
pfft, I entered this tournament with a modern deck, if you're telling me it's legacy then I need to start with:
turn 1 probe, underground sea cabal therapy for the best card in your hand.
turn 2 volcanic island, dark ritual dark ritual cabal ritual ad nauseam draw half my deck dark ritual duress cabal therapy cabal ritual lion's eye diamond x 2 tendrils of agony GG game 2?

These cards are The Worst.
At least the cards I collect have associated abilities that I can combine in interesting ways to crush people.
End of Turn cast deceiver exarch tapping your only source of blue mana
Untap, Upkeep, Draw, cast Splinter Twin on my deceiver exarch.
Tap deceiver exarch, create new deceiver exarch, untapping first deceiver exarch.
Repeat 999 more times to create a total of 1000 copies of deceiver exarch.
Attack you for 1000 damage gg -
RE: Steam's dumb monster clicking game (was: everything on Steam is broken.) (Everything on Steam is still broken, though.)
I have a razer naga.
Back when cookie clicker was new I set it up to click every 1ms.
Having played this game I am confident that clicking does nothing.
I left it in game overnight so my attack now does 5,000 per click, monster health does not go down (or goes down at the same rate) when I click once, or when I click 1000 times a second.
My conclusion: This event is about number of people logged in and "participating" by doing literally nothing, rather than about actual contributions.
My auto cannon does 2k and I have left it running while I'm at work, but this thing seems largely pointless to me.

RE: Yami learns Powershell
you might need to accept the certificate of the SVN server from all the machines that command runs on?
I had this problem with MSBuild CI scripts some time ago, they specified --username and --password but this wasn't enough, even with --force-accept-cert (not the real flag, I can't remember what it is) it didnt work properly. Had to remote into the machine on the AD user that executes the command, execute the command and then permanently accept the cert when prompted.
possibly totally unrelated.

RE: On pronouns and sex
also a furry, also a lesbian, also a fox
Things that don't impact on pronoun usage. I can understand your general point though.
My interpretation is that @accalia is trans, but not transitioning/ed and as such is male in public to avoid awkwardness/prejudice/other negative things. In addition to being outright murdered in some countries, trans people rarely get treated very well in even the most progressive countries - of which america isn't particularly one in this case - so I can understand that choice.

RE: Do this geometries. It R Harder
I don't think I've done this wrong:
[spoiler]
ABC: 80 + 80 + C = 180
C = 20
ADB
80+60+D = 180
D = 40
ABE = 70 + 80 + E = 180
E = 30
ACE = 10 + 20 + E = 180
E = 150
(150 - x) + 30 = 180
150 - x = 150
x = 0

RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
At this point, I can't help but wonder if you're doing this not because you think my approach is wrong, but simply to see how far you can push me before I snap. And I don't appreciate that.
not what I'm trying to do, honest. let me see if I can bring in an example from the other problem.
that first step is flawed. You correctly ruled out some dates, but you ruled them out for the wrong reasons, and missed other invalid dates as a result, this made you think that some dates were valid when they weren't, and led to faulty reasoning later on.
It's a similar circumstance, in the original problem people ruled things out but not thoroughly enough, which allowed them to come to a single answer but that answer was incorrect.
In this case, doing essentially the same thing (by solving the equation and using the answer to verify the equation) you are ruling out all other possible equations that could exist with no mathematical basis.
There is no mathematical basis for eliminating the value -9 as a possible answer, there is only a physical one.

RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
The difference is the same as the difference between a heuristic and a solution.
Your answer is a heuristic which is true in this case, but applying the same logic in all similar circumstances will not hold true.

RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
f(x) is 30 / n2 - n
n = x
y(x) is another equation with the same result for n = 10. and n = 20, and n = 23459. -
RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
f(x) = 1/3rd
y(x) = 1/3rdhow do you prove which is the correct equation?
-
RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
but the only way to find the results of the equation is having the equation. How do you know the equation is correct?

RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
"Can this building support a roof weighing 2 tonnes?"
"If this building can support a roof weighing 2 tonnes, it can have a cross sectional area of 325m2, if the roof is made out of clay roofing tiles, it will weigh 2 tonnes. Yes, this building can support a roof weighing 2 tonnes."
It doesn't actually answer the question of whether the building supports the roof. It works backwards from an assumption the roof is supported and finds no errors, but that's just the no errors falacy. Finding no bugs does not mean no bugs exist.
The important thing is, even though in this case there is only 1 possible answer, the process falls down, because that isn't always so.
-
RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
Carrie's point is you haven't shown that the equation holds, which is what the answer asks for.
It doesn't say "show n = 10" or "show the probability of getting 2 orange sweets is 1/3", which are the 2 things your answer actually shows. It asks you to show that the probability can successfully be manipulated to that formula.
-
RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
I think the key problem here is the definition of answer. For a lot of people and with good reason the answer is assumed to be "replace all variables and show their values", because for the first 10 years of school that's what you are supposed to do. What is 1 + 1? becomes x = 1 + 1 solve x, except more convoluted.
The problem is, a lot of interesting and more complicated maths (and obviously programming built on top of it) inherently requires you to manipulate equations without solving them.

RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
I think your answer would be marked down not because it isn't the right approach or goes to far, but it doesn't feature any step that maps to N^2 - n - 90 = 0.

RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
but they aren't asking you how you know the answer, they are asking you to show the answer is true

RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
[spoiler]
probability p1 is 6 / n
probability p2 is p1 * (5 / (n-1)
p1p2 = (6 / n) * (5 / (n - 1))
p1p2 = 1 / 3
1 / 3 = (6 / n) * 5 / (n - 1))
1/3 = 30 / n * (n - 1)
1/3 = 30 / n^2 - n
1 = 90 / N^2 - n
N^2 - n = 90
N^2 - n - 90 = 0

RE: Do this maths. It R Hard.
This is how UK exam papers work, they have questions asking you to find the simplest form of the formula to solve, and then questions asking you to solve the formula, so you can get marks for each part independently
