The majority of pop always has, and always will be sh*t simply because it is "popular music". By definition, it has to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Your failure to understand this despite having decades of music history to learn from makes you look rather bad, so stop now. Today may...

They should pull a collective An Hero.

Tut tut, Ennui, tut tut. There's just no goddamn way the treadmill can be forced to match the speed of the plane, unless the treadmill is powered by a motor and the plane was deliberately underpowered to only counter friction's tendency to carry it along with the treadmill's motion. The mildest...

Wheel speed = Treadmill speed + (Airplane speed w.r.t fixed observer) Plane moves forward effortlessly (friction is negligible for a plane powered by a prop or jet.) The wheel completely negates the presence of the treadmill. /ARGUMENT Lets move on to other puzzles.

I hope this piece of iFail doesn't catch on. Not only is it an uninspired pile of sh*t, it promotes a terrible business model of selling uncustomizable iBoxes that Apple has full control over. And for those you who aren't developers, here's some typical Apple news: You can only code for this...

He can use it to pay for a good looking hooker. Problem solved.

It's possible that new energy sources may give near unlimited power, but if that isn't true we're f*cked. All of our current theories suggest that wormhole and warp drives will be extremely energy-expensive (see the Alcubierre drive.) Aliens may not want our planetary resources, they may simply...

You're doing yourself a disservice by not attending the classes where you can do well. Even if you're not learning anything new, the cred you earn among friends will help you later. We only had 6 electives in 4 years, so pretty much everything else was compulsory. I took the Elec. & Comm...

Okay, here's my 2 cents - I suck at studies, relatively speaking. I was lucky enough to make it into an "elite" school, but I didn't get into IIT despite the constant prodding I received from all directions, partly because I refused to associate with the ambitionless 'tards who surrounded me in...

MoH: PA is a couple of years old IIRC.

Yup. I primed myself for a 1920s era borefest and was pleasantly surprised to find a good, simple story and an abundance of metaphors. No doubt it was boring at some points, but I enjoyed it and my love for it only grew after I read up on all it's subtleties later and reflected on them. It...

There will be wars, sure, but I bet that capitalists will happily cut deals with aliens to build crazy new products and services for both human and alien consumption. Money > Patriotism. Most likely we will find a way to mate with them (or invent one if we can't, Rule 34) and the entire...

Become a Swat Kat. Both dreams achieved!

I agree with this, but I don't think there's any need to argue religion in public. Here's why: The kind of religious person who pays attention to your argument is likely already a rational human being who you can debate on issues on public importance, and who does not support fundamentalism. So...

Introduce yourself with "I brought cake!" and a goofy expression. That should be safe.

Who travels across an ocean for familiar food? I want ostrich stuffed with alligator meat, doused in absinthe and then set on fire. And subsequently peed on by a London hobo, just so it tastes authentic. Seriously though, I want to try some regular English fare. I also want to have some...

Real Lives 2010 - 8.5/10 I got this game today and played it for the first time. The interface is sparse, and stays out of your way, though it is a little weird to navigate. The game itself is deceptively simple. At it's core, it is a game based around probability. You start out as a random...

There are 2 issues here :- 1. Randomness. You have none. Use the srand(), rand() functions to get true random integers and use % to get valid coordinates. 2. Delay. You need it so your program isn't a blur. Use the appropriately named delay() function. I won't code it here, but here's the...

int **array; int M = 2, N = 3; array = (int**) malloc(M*N); ...and done.

Congrats on fulfilling one dream, here's to you fulfilling all the others (even the ones to come!)
