Considering I really didn't like Eps I and II ... .... I really hope this one lives up to expectations. And what I mean is on an acting level. The acting was really just off in the past two movies. The effects, fights, etc, might be badass but ... you know.

Either way, why would the default setting be opaque, that makes 1/n as n -> infinity sense.

^ Pretty decent advice, though not all women are the same. The thing I hate most about dating is spending money. Make sure you've got a steady supply of that. I'm not really even thinking about any further dating until I graduate from college in a month and get a decent job.

You don't really know if Super Mario World was coded with ASM, or if it was done in C (or something else like Pascal or LOGO). You can disassemble binary code into assembly, but not to the higher-level languages like C; except for interpreted languages like Java or C# (Microsoft .NET junk).


There is no need to be a smart ass, you've overcomplicating things. Realistically, there are no high level languages that exist for 65816 and 6502 that I know of. The very companies that produced them have stated they are not designed to facilitate a C compiler, I have a document from their site saying as much. ASM = machine code (opcodes) for my purposes, you're only going to confuse people further by making this distinction. Plus, it's documented that programming on game consoles of this sort was done in assembly. :p I would assume it was in the shift to CD based games and the N64 when high level languages were first used in consoles.

edit: though I should add that companies working on these types of products usually create programs called middleware to facilitate insertion of data, such as music, graphics, etc.

this is really off topic in this forum, but.... anyway

I think we should have a search feature, but maybe limit the number of searches per person per day, sort of thing. And maybe impose a post count requirement, like only those with 2000 posts or more, or maybe those who have been here a year. The longer you're here, the harder it is to remember when a post was made, and sometimes for quoting purposes you feel the need to.

Posted on 04-09-05 03:56 PM, in Academic Bill of Rights Link
I don't know how many of you have been keeping up with this, but I attended a "lecture" by David Horowitz the other day. His vitriol toward liberal radicals as Marxists and Fascists left me wondering how many people were actually of the sort he described.

The main thrust of his argument is thus: On American university campuses, liberal professors rule with an iron first. Conservative professors are allegedly blacklisted, making it virtually impossible for them to get hired, let alone get tenure. There needs to be a sweeping law to prevent such discimination, as it goes against the principles of free academic pursuit that universities are supposed to espouse.

In further notes, he claims there is a wave of violence against conservatives on campuses across the nation. Conservative students are given lower grades for expressing their opposing views, or even outright failed. Conservative speakers are barred by "liberals" from giving lectures and talks they are invited by administrations to give. Extra credit is given by professors for attending liberal lecturers (which I can sort of verify but only in one instance in my four years at IU.)

feel free to share your opinions on the above. They are not my opinions, but those of Horowitz, as I took some notes during his lecture. Some liberal morons* were ejected from his talk in the first 5 minutes for haranguing him endlessly. And the very day before he gave the same talk at Butler, and someone ran up and hit him in the face with a pie. Though I sort of chuckle at that when I think about it, it is also a pretty disrespectful and immature display, as the above.

So I say: what is wrong with ultraliberals that they have to behave with such a lack of style, and what is wrong with the conservatives in this country that they have to mudsling and backlash at every liberal and accuse them of being nazis and fascists? I'm sure there are blacklists at major corporations keeping liberals from getting and retirement benefits, so why is the academic arena a big deal?

*though I sympathize with liberalism on many fronts, the way they acted was immature and idiotic.

Okay, hmmm, interesting post Arwon, but let's keep the subject a little more focused, though I appreciate your input. The main issue at hand is, are political views in the classroom getting out of control, or are they isolated incidents resulting in way too much backlash, including this bill?

Horowitz claims his views have in fact changed since 1967, as he claims he was a liberal in the past. But that's just an aside.

He claims a college biology professor used one or more class periods to show Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 911". Now he argues that this is inappropriate usage of class time, and I think it is. However, I don't think it is worthy of a crime. If you don't like the bio professor, get a different one. Complain to the administration. Students have a lot of power they don't realize they have. In my opinion, all the points on the points in the link below should be handled on a university level by the administrators, not in terms of law enforcement.

But Horowitz claims that "leftist indoctrination" is the goal of modern academia, not the pursuit of academic fairness, or whatever that is supposed to mean. Here is a link to the literature in question http://www.studentsforacademicfreedom.org/abor.html. Now I'm not sure if this is actually intended to be a piece of legislation, as it doesn't really look anything like legislation. Horowitz said that this is either taken from a document designed by the American Society of Professors (excuse me I don't have a transcript of his speech available so I don't know all the exact names of some entities), or a revised version thereof. He said that said organization claims to espouse these ideals, but has reneged on them.

Good idea, but the flash got on my nerves and I had to close it. I almost feel reading a tech document would have been less irritating.

The 2000 post limit was suggested with the foresight that within the next year many people are going to exceed that. I wasn't on the old board, but there are quite a number of people with a large number of posts compared to here. 1000 is also reasonable. You're just mad b/c you won't have 2000 posts for a loooong time, Xk

Either way, I'm curious as to how the search function is implemented. There are probably ways to reduce the amount of bandwidth it would consume.
