Look at my post! It works fine.

I meant this: But I agree, my sentence was incorrectly phrased. Sorry about that.

Wiki says no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number#Odd_perfect_numbers Personally, I wouldn't be all that surprised by either the existence or absence of odd perfect numbers.

There is no real number which when enlarged by one and multiplied by itself ends up being negative.

To think I'm actually going to be alive when the first commercial mind controlled toy (that I know of) comes out...it's just to big to imagine Although I do wish they'd make a version where 3D motion would be possible, I don't think it would be that complicated...

Yeah, that's what I expected. Oh well, doesn't really matter anymore Thanks for the quick response. Cheers, Gabe

Hey all, I'm not entirely sure this is the right section for this, since technically speaking an iPod isn't a computer, so mods please feel free to move if necessary. I got an iPod Shuffle about 2-3 years ago, and it worked fine until last summer. I was going over to my friends house listening along the way without any problems, however upon my departure a couple of hours later it would no longer function. What happens when I turn it on is the "status light" (not the battery one in the back, the one above the controls) glows green for about 5 seconds like it always does when I turn the iPod on. Then the light switches off, which normally means that I can start using the iPod. Unfortunately in my case what happens when I press any kind of button, be it Play or Volume Up, the green status light and the orange-ish light just bellow it that I never even knew was there start flashing alternately. When I tried to plug it into the computer it gave me some kind of error, it was an "iPod corrupted" one if memory serves. I tried to reset it/wipe it/whatever it's called using iTunes, but it didn't help. It's been quite some time so I'm not sure if it ever even started "wiping" or just gave me an error straight out. I remember I searched the internet quite a bit for everything I could think of and coming up empty handed, so I sort of doubt there's any chance of repairing it. But just to be sure I want to ask if anything of the sort ever happened to anyone here, and how he/she dealt with the problem. Cheers, Gabe

It's not often I get to say this but I've GOT to have that!

Organic osmium, that sounds cool

And I'm sort of surprised at biology as well...I can understand if you're the guy monitoring the astronauts life signs, but as an engineer, I can't see how biology would come in useful...?

That brilliant site's my best friend, I use it whenever possible

I believe Womenish is as tough as it gets

Ow...

Not everyone notices they're hot until it's too late... Seriously though, this sounds a little like the 1546 Mayor of Warsaw from Red Dwarf...

You can make a sig from parts of it; I like Enron venture capitalism )

For Apple fans especially: At a computer expo (COMDEX),Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated: 'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.' Here is the response from a General Motors representative: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics: 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash several times a year. 2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason at all. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver, such as a left turn, would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5. Apple (Macintosh) would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads. 6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light. 7. The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying. 8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 9. Whenever you installed a new accessory you would have to remove and reinstall several of your old accessories to get them working again. 10. You'd have to press and hold the 'Start' button to turn the engine off. Cheers, Gabe

Stick with it, it gets better: SOCIALISM You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbor. COMMUNISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRATISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away… TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. AN AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead. ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull. A FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows. A JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide. A GERMAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves. AN ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch. A RUSSIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. A SWISS CORPORATION You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them. A CHINESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation. AN INDIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You worship them. A BRITISH CORPORATION You have two cows. Both are mad. AN IRAQI CORPORATION Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of Democracy… SURREALISM You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons Cheers, Gabe PS.: Hope this isn't a repost

Do you have #include before <iostream>? Because that wasn't very obvious from your post...

Uncle Google, please help us

If you have anymore questions, I'd advise having a look at Learn C++(Chapter 9.11), or alternatively the Learn C++ forums; it does an excellent job of explaining not only this. Cheers, Gabe

Now why didn't that occur to me. Thanks again Klaynos!
