always: for all time. never: always not.

If you have "finite complexity" then the universe has a finite number of possible configurations. Given enough time to exhaust all possible configurations then I don't see that there is a choice: a previous configuration must be repeated. If so then this must also repeat forever since the...

Nothing to be concerned about then. Thanks Dan.

I am programming a module used to convert measurement units. This will be part of a system that supports complex numbers. I never use complex numbers in my field but of course engineers and physicists do so I thought I should ask a couple of questions first. Q1. Is there anything unusual about...

What I gathered from a TV piece on the challenge is that many candidates are not able to agree on what constitutes success or failure of their own claim to the paranormal. The rules are here: http://www.randi.org/research/challenge.html" It's not so complicated, you just need to clearly state...

Am I crazy or did I just see Zoobyshoe near the bottom of this page? :bugeye: http://craignotbond.com/craignotbondp1.html"

1. Superman's powers 2. Just enough wit to wear a lead suit and perhaps... oh... a mask. 3. Yeah, that handshake thing. I'll have what he's having.

Bad wishes. Yes, immortality sucks donkey after the end of the world, it gets boring real fast. Omnipotence already gives you the power to make yourself immortal so you've wasted a wish. Free will of your own is a redundant wish. Ok, first, wish for more wishes. If there's a rule against that...

I don't think this is an assignment since only a few minor changes were needed to compile under gcc. The errors are mainly caused by the use of Borland extensions that are not part of the standard language (notably clrscr and getch). I just replaced getch and commented out clrscr to get it to...

If your data file ends with a redundant newline character then the loop will repeat one time too many and your first IF clause will convert an empty line (caused by this lone '\n' character) into an integer. This will generate the 0 you're seeing. What you should do is check for an empty line...

Awww, are you trying to ruin a perfectly good theory using ugly facts? If so then I'll want a measurement of the initial Coliform count in the various samples used in the experiment. :wink: Edit: Oh yeah, bravo from me too! An entertaining experiment that has kept us all waiting with bated...

They? This is a school assignment? What subject?

Can you put your question into some context? Because without this you can have a free for all: muscles cannot function without blood supply, there is an unbalanced number of opposable digits (1 against 4), the skull position is off-balance, we lack rotational joints, the rate of muscular growth...

Place all your samples on a board and move the board gently to stir. This should be sufficient, it will stir all samples the same way and it will prevent cross contamination from utensils.

Hello all, here's my illustrated story! :smile: I studied Health Sciences in college. :shy: I would surely have preferred Pure Science :!) which would have led me to Physics and Engineering :biggrin: but this was unrealistic :frown: given my aversion for math. :confused: So I obtained a diploma...
