Hey, you have to pay McDonald's to say that.

But isn't that 'I'm loving it'?

Toast, what you said is literally 'Good/Happy Chinese New Year' whereas what espeon said is the common new year greeting ... or something like that.

John, I can't say I know much about Chinese pop music, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_popular_music can probably tell you a little ... !

The point is that you cannot disagree with the statement 'I am not a humman but a monkey!' By putting yes or no, it doesn't change anything.

Is that right WiZaRd?

Hi magdi! I think the answer I put was '12 Days of Christmas', but you're right, that would also work.

#258 Re: Puzzles and Games » ^_^ » 2007-01-16 20:00:36

yes or No I am not a Humman but a Monkey!

Hopefully someone will think of the answer tomorrow!

Funnily enough, the 'Genius Gene Pool' happened to be showing tonight. Not that it's very related to this, although it is interesting that someone (Robert Graham) intended to breed geniuses.

Ah! I wondered if anyone else saw that this was on. Well, I watched it!

#263 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Base Conversion » 2007-01-12 19:03:03

I can delete/add/change text where it originally says 'A=1, B=2, C=3, ... X=24, Y=25, and Z=0' in green underneath the two conversion boxes.

Is it meant to be like this (for a reason)? My changes don't stay permanently of course but I was just wondering.

Well, apart from that, this is cool. I like how the conversion is live.

#264 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Reaction Math with High Scores » 2007-01-10 18:10:14

Yes. I think that would work!

If we're having a 'High Scores of the Week', another thing could be a list showing each week's top player and their score ... that might be an overload of lists though?

Now children, remember, don't try this at home. And never, never, never play with fire!

Ah, it's fun! If only I could have learned to count like this ...

Like always, and like I always say, a brilliant job.

#267 Re: Maths Is Fun - Suggestions and Comments » Reaction Math with High Scores » 2007-01-08 14:18:35

Yes, I noticed that. Too good, too good!

I've also noticed that when the score is a whole number, e.g. I got 80, it doesn't show the two decimal places. Is is good the way it is, or should it be consistent (so it all lines up, too!)?

I will get on to it soon.

That was quick. big_smile

So, does clicking 'add to high score' now mean it overwrites your current score (even if it is lower) or keeps the highest one?

If so, then yes, we do need to find a way to make the system fair. I think five points a month sounds a bit strict, perhaps two (or three?) points a week.

I don't think it really matters how many we have. I know another forum which gives one point a day and people don't abuse it. At the start, I'm sure we'll have fun playing with the feature, but after that, the novelty might wear off and the system will be used sensibly.

Also, are we just having a system where you can only add points, or you can take them away too?

Insomnia ol' buddy!

Long time no see.

I was just about to say, 'speak of the devil', but it seems mathsy has beaten me to it.

#272 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Spam growing alarmingly » 2007-01-05 14:01:53

I watched a documentary on TV the other night about spam. It was great.

In one part, the guy making the documentary sent replies back to spam and actually bought some products to see what they were like. He bought a 'genuine' Rolex and it came in the mail with a 'Made in China' sticker on the back! Another was a dieting kit ... where you smother yourself in so-called 'fat-removing cream', bandage yourself up like a mummy (over the top of cream) and put a plastic bag-like jumpsuit on, to hold it all together. Then sit like that for an hour! Surprisingly, he lost nothing.

It talked about spamhaus, too.

It's ctrl-tab, like it's always been and ctrl-shift-tab for going the other way

Or you can use Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown to cycle left and right.

I still don't get it ... we can't put other people's names there though ... can we? And they're all real edits.

Oh well, who cares. big_smile
