When he passes him will he win a Powdermag wife beater? If so, then he woudln't have to post on that website anymore, because really, who needs two beaters?
what will come first though? passing ONS or getting 4 g's at powmag?
Ahem - Passing 4 g's on powmag will come first because I can cheat. It's good to be the king...Quote:

lol, nice
So ONS, can you work your magic and let me change my confirmed addict title. Hell, I'll even let you make up the title. (preferably, I AM FIDEL!)
And Pinner wins, with ONS being disqualified. I mean, come on, the commisaire beats Lance evry day in the tour, but since he's in a car, he doesn't count.

65536 = 2^16
So that means there's a hard limit to the post count (maybe stored as a "short"?). So, what happens when you go over that? Will it cycle around to -65535 or 0? Will there be a buffer overflow resulting in the board crashing? Or will it just sit there?
I'm thinking nothing will happen since the board hasn't crashed yet.
I'm tied with Juan Valdez, This one will put me past him. Next mark is Truth, only 100 more posts 'till i pass him too.
If it's an unsigned short it will cycle to zero, since the range is 0 to 65535.Quote:

If it's a signed short the range is -32767 to 32768.
Or if it's a bigger data type like a long or int64, he might have just entered 0xffff and left it at that.
Still, one guys gets PAID to post,
the other guy...........??
let's hope so.
How do you math whizzes know he didn't just pick the number out of a hat?
Ice, there's 10 kinds of people, people who understand binary and people who don't.Quote:

There's also 0xa/5 kinds of people: those who understand hex and those who don't.
HAHAHAHA...um. what?
OK, there's different number bases. We honky/cracker types are used to base 10.
So we write
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 12 12 13 14 15 16 ...
But in base 2, we write
0
1
10
11
100
101
110
111
etc.
Now laugh. Yes, it is extreme geek.
Hex is base 16
So there we write
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
10 11 12 13 14...1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f
Usually prepended by 0x.
So 0xa/5 == 2
Man you are bringing back some memories for me here. Now that I have a job, I never use this stuff. It was sweet to know it at one point though.Quote:

All I want is a job that __doesn't__ use this stuff.Quote:

Telluride really needs a good burrito shop.
Since Ogre hasn't put in an appearance yet, I think I'll one up Buster on the nerdiness of this thread. Yes, it would cycle back to 0 if it was an unsigned short on a standard Intel processor using C. However, isn't there a possibility (admittidly slim) that ONS is using something weird that defines shorts as something other than 16 bits? Although I guess I've never heard of any system that specially defines 17 bit values which is what it would take for it to cycle back to -65536.
Oh and I'd never heard the hex one before. I like that :)

Come on Buster, true geeks are distinguished by their mastering of the rare octal (especially those long lists produced by od(1)), not the common hex and binary.</geek>
drC
oh come on people, octal isn't hard at all!
base 10 - base 2 = base 8 ;)
Gonna need a partner...Quote:
