  1. Thanks but it says that function is undeclared.
  2. If you don't want to be creul then I don't in any way recomend dunking them in water with blood worms, it's not pretty. I think the old fasioned gardners snail trap would suit pretty well: just make a hole big enough for them to fall into and fill it with Guiness, they die pissed.
  3. If you consider a circle to be a round collection of points then any regular polygon is a circle, from equalateral triangles to the hypothetical one with ifinite sides.
  4. I lost all hope of finding anything sensible at "solitonic/holographic computer" you really should get some premise before you start making up terms.
  5. Really just because they were in the tutorial that came with this complier-thingumy.
  6. Thanks, I guess I just hadn't got how printf() was meant to work. What is the best way to end a program so it doesn't close until the user does something? My current method seems to cause crashage.
  7. A couple of years back I made an attempt at learning C++. I'm now trying to take it back up, here is an attempt: #include <stdio.h> int main() { int xo,xt,yo,yt; float grad; printf("Enter the first co-ordinate:\n"); scanf("%d",&xo); scanf("%d",&yo); printf("And the second one:\n"); scanf("%d",&xt); scanf("%d",&yt); grad = (yo-yt)/(xo-xt); printf("Chord of (%d",xo);printf(",%d",yo);printf(")"); printf(" and (%d",xt);printf(",%d",yt);printf(")\n"); printf("Gradient: %f",grad); scanf("%f",grad); return 0; } The issue I found was that it wouldn't work when I tried printf("string",variable,"string"); so I ended up having to do lots and lots of printf()s. Now I seem to remember another method of output that went something like cout >>> "string" >>> variable; But I can't remember how to do that.
  8. I don't really want to live that long, I get bored too easily.
  9. 5*, 76... that doesn't make sense.
  10. This article is odd. It starts off fairly interesting then suddenly the logic just melts away leaving, as Moleke so gracefully phrased it, bullshit.
  11. If they increase thier wages then they'll loose a bit from that (duh) whilst their competetors don't. If everyone is forced to increase wages, then they can keep the playing field level.
  12. dttom: did you make any attempt to read any of the posts? You are supremely behind. persuader: it's about descriptive numbers, take another look.
  13. [math]\pi=\frac{diameter}{circumfrence}[/math] That is all.
  14. Actually, it can't be, I was wrong. Damn.
  15. Looking at this thread you can see that "In My Memory" is clearly very knowlegeable about Christianity and capable of making very good posts. Searching for all posts by IMM just confirms this. As far as I can tell, the Philosphy & Religion board doesn't have a resident expert so if it were to have one then IMM would be a great choice.
  16. Pie just refers to cooked food underneath a layer of pastry. I guess you were actually talking about pi wich is, as you say, circumfrence over diameter. 22/7 is an aproximation of pie. In fact, circumfrence and radius cannot both be rational numbers.
  17. This assumes a and b to be integers with a < b. EDIT: it also assumes a>0 so is probably useless [math]a< a+\frac{a}{b} < b[/math] [math]a<a+\frac{a}{b\to\infty}<b[/math]
  18. Sanjay: do you think Morpheus is a prat?
  19. Really, your current school should be helping you out here. I don't think you Americans have an equilivant to UCAS so your best bet is to write to the school in question, expresssing your interest and requesting a prospectus and application form.
  20. Blike I guess so, but they'd just add together and I can't imagine how you'd distinguish between the two.
  21. [math] \pi^{\frac{-(\pi + \phi)}{2}}=\phi [/math]
  22. the tree

    Athiest...

    How would that be scientific?!? Science is by nessesity agnostic.
  23. I will trade you that pendant for my anit-tiger rock.
  24. Any solution for any virus, from HIV to the common cold would be revolutionary and if anyone honestly belived they found it, they wouldn't have "mislaid" the manuscripts.
