im a HUGE fan of books. within the last two months ive probably read through 8-9 books. larry niven: ringworld series david eddings: the belgarion series(both) and the sparhawk series(both) karen miller: king maker, kingbreaker series currently: RA Salvatore - starting up the icewind dale tril again

i thought it was an amazing movie, and the zombie were more vampires than zombies killing the dog was not pointless, they had to make you feel how alone he was i like the theatrical ending better than the alternate ending, since the alt leaves it open for a sequal and they arent doing one, tho it was cool in its own right.

lol good one

lol awsome, those look like something youd find in spencers

haha i love these things. that one is my favorite ^^^

ill take a look through my projects and the opengl super bible and see what i can come up with for you. *breaks open the boxes of books* ill post what/if i find anything of use to ya. and just to clerify a bit... you're looking to write to video memory using opengl right? or are you trying to do it at the hardware layer? cause the hardware layer i wont even touch, thats what api's were created for.

Not sure what board i should be putting these in but programming seems the most appropriate since programmers would appreciate them the most. So, onward ho! You know, many important theological questions are answered if we think of God as a Computer Programmer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Does God control everything that happens in my life? A: He could, if he used the debugger, but it's tedious to step through all those variables. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Why does God allow evil to happen? A: God thought he eliminated evil in one of the earlier versions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What causes God to intervene in earthly affairs? A: If a critical error occurs, the system pages him automatically and he logs on from home to try to bring it up. Otherwise things can wait until tomorrow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Did God really create the world in seven days? A: He did it in six days and nights while living on cola and candy bars. On the seventh day he went home and found out his girlfriend had left him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How come the Age of Miracles Ended? A: That was the development phase of the project, now we are in the maintenance phase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Who is Satan? A: Satan is a MIS director who takes credit for more powers than he actually possesses, so people who aren't programmers are scared of him. God thinks of him as irritating but irrelevant. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is the role of sinners? A: Sinners are the people who find new an imaginative ways to mess up the system when God has made it idiot-proof. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Where will I go after I die? A: Onto a DAT tape. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Will I be reincarnated? A: Not unless there is a special need to recreate you. And searching those tar files is a major hassle, so if there is a request for you, God will just say that the tape has been lost. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Am I unique and special in the universe? A: There are over 10,000 major university and corporate sites running exact duplicates of you in the present release version. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is the purpose of the universe? A: God created it because he values elegance and simplicity, but then the users and managers demanded he tack all this senseless stuff onto it and now everything is more complicated and expensive than ever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: If I pray to God, will he listen? A: You can waste his time telling him what to do, or you can just get off his back and let him program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is the one true religion? A: All systems have their advantages and disadvantages, so just pick the one that best suits your needs and don't let anyone put you down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How can I protect myself from evil? A: Change your password every month and don't make it a name, a common word, or a date like your birthday. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Some people claim they hear the voice of God. Is this true? A: They are much more likely to receive email. Second funny one... And yes i know these are old as time itself lol In the beginning there was the Computer. Loading Universe Kernel....

lol btw the first application is actually a mc donalds app and the kid got hired lol http://www.scribd.com/doc/25629/Funny-job-application-

Was there schedualed maintanance or something??? I think I was going through withdrawls lol edit: Nevermind lol i found the answer in the notifications board

hahaha yup! nerds/smart_ppl of the world unite! get out from behind your tv/monitor and get some!

hahaha ya im not so sure i agree with that either but then again its comical and sposed to bring a laugh so who really cares

hahaha yes python is an amazing scripting language

c++ smart chauk boards would be cool as hell

lol im sure you've all seen these before but they are awsome to read through and if youve ever done any programming with them they should ring pretty true for you There is many a programming language available on the market today but which is the best for you??? The following list should help you with your choice. Selecting a Programming Language ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Assembler - A formula I race car. Very fast but difficult to drive and maintain. FORTRAN II - A Model T Ford. Once it was the king of the road. FORTRAN IV - A Model A Ford. FORTRAN 77 - a six-cylinder Ford Fairlane with standard transmission and no seat belts. COBOL - A delivery van. It's bulky and ugly but it does the work. BASIC - A second-hand Rambler with a rebuilt engine and patched upholstery. Your dad bought it for you to learn to drive. You'll ditch it as soon as you can afford a new one. PL/I - A Cadillac convertable with automatic transmission, a two-tone paint job, white-wall tires, chrome exhaust pipes, and fuzzy dice hanging in the windshield. C - A black Firebird, the all macho car. Comes with optional seatbelt (lint) and optional fuzz buster (escape to assembler). ALGOL 60 - An Austin Mini. Boy that's a small car. Pascal - A Volkswagon Beetle. It's small but sturdy. Was once popular with intellectual types. Modula II - A Volkswagon Rabbit with a trailer hitch. ALGOL 68 - An Aston Martin. An impressive car but not just anyone can drive it. LISP - An electric car. It's simple but slow. Seat belts are not available. PROLOG/LUCID - Prototype concept cars. Maple/MACSYMA - All-terrain vehicles. FORTH - A go-cart. LOGO - A kiddie's replica of a Rolls Royce. Comes with a real engine and a working horn. APL - A double-decker bus. It takes rows and columns of passengers to the same place all at the same time but it drives only in reverse and is instrumented in Greek. Ada - An army-green Mercedes-Benz staff car. Power steering, power brakes, and automatic transmission are standard. No other colors or options are available. If it's good enough for generals, it's good enough for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Having Choosen you language Just how easy (or Not!!) is it to use?? TASK :- To Shoot Yourself In The Foot +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ C: You shoot yourself in the foot. C++: You accidentally create a dozen instances of yourself and shoot them all in the foot. Providing emergency medical assistance is impossible since you can't tell which are bitwise copies and which are just pointing at others and saying, "That's me, over there." FORTRAN: You shoot yourself in each toe, iteratively, until you run out of toes, then you read in the next foot and repeat. If you run out of bullets, you continue with the attempts to shoot yourself anyways because you have no exception-handling capability. Pascal: The compiler won't let you shoot yourself in the foot. Ada: After correctly packing your foot, you attempt to concurrently load the gun, pull the trigger, scream, and shoot yourself in the foot. When you try, however, you discover you can't because your foot is of the wrong type. COBOL: Using a COLT 45 HANDGUN, AIM gun at LEG.FOOT, THEN place ARM.HAND.FINGER on HANDGUN.TRIGGER and SQUEEZE. THEN return HANDGUN to HOLSTER. CHECK whether shoelace needs to be re-tied. LISP: You shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds... FORTH: Foot in yourself shoot. Prolog: You tell your program that you want to be shot in the foot. The program figures out how to do it, but the syntax doesn't permit it to explain it to you. BASIC: Shoot yourself in the foot with a water pistol. On large systems, continue until entire lower body is waterlogged. Visual Basic: You'll really only _appear_ to have shot yourself in the foot, but you'll have had so much fun doing it that you won't care. HyperTalk: Put the first bullet of gun into foot left of leg of you. Answer the result. Motif: You spend days writing a UIL description of your foot, the bullet, its trajectory, and the intricate scrollwork on the ivory handles of the gun. When you finally get around to pulling the trigger, the gun jams. APL: You shoot yourself in the foot, then spend all day figuring out how to do it in fewer characters. SNOBOL: If you succeed, shoot yourself in the left foot. If you fail, shoot yourself in the right foot. Unix: % ls foot.c foot.h foot.o toe.c toe.o % rm * .o rm:.o no such file or directory % ls % Concurrent Euclid: You shoot yourself in somebody else's foot. 370 JCL: You send your foot down to MIS and include a 400-page document explaining exactly how you want it to be shot. Three years later, your foot comes back deep-fried. Paradox: Not only can you shoot yourself in the foot, your users can, too. Access: You try to point the gun at your foot, but it shoots holes in all your Borland distribution diskettes instead. Revelation: You're sure you're going to be able to shoot yourself in the foot, just as soon as you figure out what all these nifty little bullet-thingies are for. Assembler: You try to shoot yourself in the foot, only to discover you must first invent the gun, the bullet, the trigger, and your foot. Modula2: After realizing that you can't actually accomplish anything in this language, you shoot yourself in the head. VMS: $ MOUNT/DENSITY=.45/LABEL=BULLET/MESSAGE="BYE" BULLET::BULLET$GUN SYS$BULLET $ SET GUN/LOAD/SAFETY=OFF/SIGHT=NONE/HAND=LEFT/CHAMBER=1/ACTION=AUTOMATIC/ LOG/ALL/FULL SYS$GUN_3$DUA3:[000000]GUN.GNU $ SHOOT/LOG/AUTO SYS$GUN SYS$SYSTEM:[FOOT]FOOT.FOOT %DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image GUN -CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file $3$DUA240:[GUN]GUN.EXE;1 -IMGACT-F-NOTNATIVE, image is not an OpenVMS Alpha AXP image oh well, almost.. FORTH: Foot in yourself shoot. self dup >foot shoot

has anyone else seen the movie idiocracy? if you have can you see the world headed in that direction? (i can, or at least america lol) if you havent, i highly recommend it even if only as an encouragment to keep your wits sharp and breed those good traits lol

I hail from Manchster<New Hampshire<USA lived here most of my life cant wait to get out again lol Lived in Winter Park<Florida<USA for 2 years prior while i was in school. And Ive traveled all over the place: In the states: every state on the east coast texas ohio colorado arazona california Out of the country: spain the switz germany Places I want to visit: japan china new zealand philippines

thx JcX by tutorials i didnt really mean web ones tho lol games are my special niche, and i dont consider myself all that great at web development i checked out your site btw. very elegant. i like it.

i like all sorts of rock, all sorts of rap, a little classical, a little jazz, and very very little country. i dont think i have one favorite band, my current favorites are: 311 chevelle system of a down fort minor deltron 3030

Wow i think this is the most sedate, calm and logical descusion of religion ive ever seen I myself am fundamentaly christian (not to be mistaken with fundamentalist, which I cant stand). I do beleive in God and the basic principles of christianity, but at the same time I also agree with what every one of you has said... trying to convert/convince others to join you is absurd. Haha, Im probly one of the very few christians you'll ever hear that from too. Having grown up in a baptist church I can say that I have seen both the good and the bad side of the christian religion. But I'm rambling... To each his own I say

its an interesting theory but i think there are a few to many holes in it. if something that big hit the earth nothing would survive the stuff thrown into the atmosphere, including bacteria, let alone the gravity going from a heck of a lot more than what it is now, down to none, and then to what it is now. for the earth to reverse rotation the impact would have had to reverse the rotation of the core, because the crust couldnt go against the cores current for very long. and since gravity comes from the cores rotation, hense my gravity theory. all that being said that would mean that life would have either not even gotten started at that point or it would have had to have started over completely. wow, not sure why i got so into that but hey, it was kinda fun speculating!

haha ya the movie was amazing. did you see the animated one? the invinsable iron man? the live action one basicly took the entire first part of the movie (the cave stuff) from that, tho the rest was completely different. and oh man! dark knight comes out soon! cant wait! also the incredible hulk looks like itll make up for the other one cant wait

lol the comic makes me wonder if maybe bill amend tryed it when he was younger or if someone in his class did... he had to get the inspiration somewhere right?

just to let ya know theres an introduction thread up top sticky'd

torrentz for the win =] also dc++
