  1. ... Basques in Spain and France? Chechen groups in Russia? Neo-Nazis and other mofo like those that did the Oklahoma bombing in USA? Unabomber? The list is far longer than this. Should I add muslim terrorists in Europe and in America? Muslim and white aren't incompatible; there are many white muslims. In Chechnia and the region around it, most of the population consists of muslims, and they are white.
  2. Joke or not, you should still take the advice, and not only about prisons...
  3. You shouldn't trust blindly what the tv says.
  4. Good thing. Death penalty should be banned. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As long as we're not killing innocent people, its okay with me. There are rare instances in which some criminals just need killing. And the BTK strangler is precisely the type. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The problem is, you can never know for sure if one is innocent or not. Many times a man judged guilty has been proven innocent afterwards. IMHO, even the worst criminals should not be executed. That's just legal murder. How can a government fight crime when it is itself criminal?
  5. You said you need it to be compatible with win95. I remember you said elsewhere you had an old computer, I guess that's why it has to be compatible. (wasn't it around 300 MHz?) For the price of a 9800, you could get a motherboard with integrated graphics, some ram and a cheap processor. Well, that's where I would start. A 9800 with a 300 MHz processor would be really overkill. If you want to keep your comp or don't have enough money for what's above, you could go for a 9200 (around $50). But I don't know if they still produce drivers for Win95...
  6. Good thing. Death penalty should be banned.
  7. I thought free speech was something sacred in the US.
  8. This seems to me like the perfect amount to attract people to donate. IMHO, that sum is only the hoaxer's claim, and so is worth nothing. He could have gained much more. Who would donate if he said "We have much more than what we planned, but keep donating"?
  9. Seems tasty... I may try that someday. Peanut butter may be a little hard to find though.
  10. Oh, please do it. Even if it's already implemented, just for the hell of it.
  11. OK, you just made a point there. You have no life.
  12. I vote for a censor against endless sentences.
  13. Hahahaha, you little fool. What can't you do here except rom requests and porn? Is it really important to say flock dick and such words? It's so easy to bypass anyway. EDIT: Oh, you can actually say dick without being censored, but not pen1s. That's kind of ironic.
  14. Thanks, smarty. What's strange is precisely that popups appear with this option enabled.
  15. I'm getting popups with zophar now, it used to block theirs... strange.
  16. Coffee. Loads of coffee. And usually nothing else. On exam days I usually manage to buy something on the way; exams on an empty stomach is a torture.
  17. This page has snes emulators. The main site is great and has emus for many systems, but it looks like it is currently broken. This site has lots of stuff, unfortunately it's in french (but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out). You can also check: http://emulation.emuscene.com/
  18. You shouldn't be scared to do prank calls. You should be wise enough to realize how unpleasant it is to get one. Especially at 4 in the morning...
  19. We probably don't have the same definition of "good". EDIT: I've only seen the first one, maybe the second one is better.
  20. Damn. I really hope it fails; they shouldn't slaughter the classics.
  21. What that means is that an algorithm is: -an initial state (can be variables, or pretty much anything else) -instructions to be carried out in a precise order -a final state. With the same initial state, an algorithm will always give the same output (final state). An example of algorithm could be cooking an egg: initial state : - 1 uncooked egg - a pan - water - a gaz burner instructions: 1 - fill the pan with water 2 - light the burner 3 - put the pan on the burner 4 - wait for the water to boil 5 - put the egg in the water 6 - wait 3 minutes 7 - turn off the burner 8 - take the egg out of the water final state: - 1 cooked egg - a pan filled with water - a gaz burner Note that an algorithm is usually one of many solutions to solve a problem. In this example, you could make another algorithm by inverting steps 1 and 2. With computer programs it is very important to take that into account; given the same problem, an algorithm can solve it very quickly, while another could take centuries. Another example more linked with programming would be an addition: ADD ( integer A, positive integer B ) if B>0 ADD ( A,B )=ADD ( A+1, B-1 ) if B=0 ADD ( A,B )=A This particular example (of course not the best way to make an addition) shows an important feature of today's programming languages: recursivity. In this example, ADD would be executed (B+1) times. Also note that an algorithm is independant from the (programming) language it is written in. So basically, a computer program is a set of algorithms. I hope that will help, even if it's not really clear. Feel free to ask any question, as long as you think twice about it (and it is written in correct english).
