[quote=Stealth]Our sense of "life" is just a complex illusion our brain creates. We're just the result of very complex chemical processes.[/quote]

Choosing a programing language

6th February 2011

Something to bear in mind is that pretty much all programming languages have quite a bit in common, at least in terms of theory. Once you've learnt how things like variables, expressions, functions, etc all work in one language, picking up other languages *snip*

stream error

[quote=Teasy]One of the things I love most about Blitz is that after initial declaration of a variable (e.g. A_FILE$), Blitz no longer demands a identifier's type specification[/quote]
That's not a good thing! That just encourages sloppy coding! :O

stream error

I haven't tried running the code, but could it be that 'A_FILE' on the last line should be 'A_FILE$'?

How to: Hafnium

I meant more powerful than that. And even if you did have a powerful enough one, how would you control and align the magnetic fields to hold the antimatter in place?

How to: Hafnium

24th December 2010

When they say 'magnetised chamber', they don't mean sticking two bar magnets together. You need something big, monstrously powerful, and big. Where are you going to put it, how are you going to power it, how are you going to align the magnetic fields, and *snip*

This is probably more a chemistry question than a physics one, and I have absolutely no idea what possible purpose you require this element for, but Wikipedia says you need titanium ore... good luck with that. :P en.wikipedia.org

Well, at the current rate, I have a snowball's chance in hell of getting anywhere near completion before the deadline. This is due to a combination of aiming too high, other priorities, and being a lazy ass. That said, we break up on Friday, which gives me*snip*

Student Fes in Britain

11th December 2010

The UK Government does not set what Universities can charge. It simply makes the law of how much they are allowed to charge. What the Coalition want to do is make Unis be able to charge up to £6000, or, if they can show they are providing grants/help/*snip*
