Sort of, I'd debate flash was still more popular even when people actually pretended java did something.
I saw a hilarious episode of "Computer Chronicles" from web.archive.org from ~1996. I had to stifle laughter as there were audible exhalations of exhilaration from those watching when the guest Opened a browser to a Java Applet and a cartoon fish slid across the screen. It was hilarious because there is a Visual Basic Demo Application that has a butterfly flying across the form that is more exciting. -

Hahaha.... That was probably the worst post I've ever seen on these forums.
Way to plunge your head into the dirt there, dude.
Congrats on not providing anything but an incredibly unreasonable statement and absolutely no arguments for me to counter argue. If you had done so, you'd undoubtedly have failed as did Tom Tzu.... But no, you instead opted for a much more cowardly and unreasonable statement.
I also find it incredibly ironic you'd argue like this against me, given you're not really bashful about explaining your own circumstance.... but that's somewhat irrelevant and I'll just leave that as a sidenote.
If you guys have nothing reasonable to argue, or continue to ignore my arguments, then I ultimately you're only supporting my arguments... So thanks.
Did you not catch the meaning of his post? He was satirizing your post, yes, but there was an implied question behind it.
To what extent is an opinion stupid and invalid, and who makes that call?
That's a problem with limiting free speech among other freedoms on such subjective terms. Someone has to make a call to limit speech. Will that person be CosmicSpore?
Censorship limits how people can perceive how other people see the world. If anything, censoring a group -- even a hate group -- makes people ignorant (lol your favorite word :)) to the realities of society. -

MCFUser6867051 posted a message on 48÷2(9+3) = 288 OR 2? (the poll)Posted in: Computer Science and TechnologyQuote from NickoNiklas
hmm,
1/2 is the same as 2^-1 (2 to the power of -1), simple math, try it on your calculator and you'll get the same thing.
48/2 is the same as 48 * 1/2, and the same as 48 * (2^-1), associative law.
From that;
48/2(9+3) <==> 48 * (1/2) * (9+3) <==> 48 * (9+3) * (1/2) <==> 48 * 12 * (1/2) <==> 576 * (1/2) <==> 576 / 2 <==> 288
or
48/2(9+3) <==> 48 * (2^-1) * (9+3) <==> 48 * (9+3) * (2^-1) <==> 48 * 12 * (2^-1) <==> 576 * (2^-1) <==> 576 / 2 <==> 288
Division is just another form of multiplication. People needs to learn and remember the communative and associative laws.
Another way to solve the equation;
48/2(9+3) <==> 24 * (9 + 3) <==> 24 * 9 + 24 * 3 <==> 24 * 9 + 24 * 3 <==> 216 + 72 <==> 288
or
48/2(9+3) <==> 48/2*9 + 48/2*3... <==> 288
Remember, 48/2(9+3) is not the same as 48/(2(9+3))!
48/(2(9+3)) = 2, the paranthesises matter.
You're making it excessively complicated. The last statement is already more than enough to prove the answer- remember, this forum's audience is generally high school or middle school level.
Basically, this:

Yourself posted a message on Here's my problem with "Gay Hate"Posted in: Politics, Philosophy, News and ScienceLev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
I contend that this is misinterpreted. I read this as the first written evidence of the bro code. See, lie here is referring to the act of lying or telling a falsehood. Basically this is saying it's an abomination to lie to a man as you would lie to a woman.
That's an element of the bro code right there. - To post a comment, please login.

3D graphics programming is a different beast. Take a course in that if you wish. Prepare for linear algebra like it's nobody's business.
Also note that game programming is such a miniscule part of the industry, one that's notorious for overworking and underpaying. There's an order of magnitude more jobs in web application development.

$GLOBALS, to my knowledge, won't keep data across separate page posts (that's the job of $_SESSION). Every time you submit the page, the array will get wiped. It's merely an index of all variables currently defined in the global scope. Since you're not working inside of any functions, everything you do is defined in the global scope anyways (since if blocks don't have their own scope in PHP) so there's no real reason to use $GLOBALS at all in your code.
Let me give you an example of how you'd go about using $GLOBALS
$foo = 1; function incrementFoo() { $GLOBALS['foo']++; } echo $foo; incrementFoo(); echo $foo;Without the $GLOBALS array, the function incrementFoo would not be able to access the $foo variable because $foo was declared outside of the incrementFoo function. Indeed, it was declared outside of any function, putting it in the global scope.
The code should output the following:
So the main point of the $GLOBALS array is so you can access outside variables that you for some reason don't feel like passing in as parameters to functions, perhaps because you desire side effects such as those shown in my example (this makes you a bad programmer and a bad person).
If you want to keep data across page submits, use the $_SESSION array.

The truth is that they're both deluded, especially in thinking that someone else must be stupid to not hold the same views as them.

C++ is comparatively old and rigid to work with, and there's many caveats and tricks you have to be aware of to get the most out of it (most of which come from C). It is more powerful due to its ability to directly access memory, but chances are you won't be making any sort of program that takes advantage of that, and it's not like handles are fun to use (type safety goes right out the window).
