Neither Neritic nor ABXD are really arguments for anything. Last I checked, Neritic's UI, at least, was a jumble of pointless and CPU-consuming gimmicks.

I told you so before, but before you claim anything is a standard, I demand a chapter-and-verse citation of the somewhat widely accepted standards series that defines it as one. Otherwise, I might as well just introduce 256x239 pixel minipics because it's a standard. Or perhaps 8x8.

People used 11x11 minipics for years on 1.x and nobody died from it. If you don't like it, just don't use it.

To come back to your parking lot example, it surely is better than no parking lot at all for motorcyclist. If you want to argue for car parking, you have to make a coherent argument for us actually having drivers and parking opportunities for them being a sensible investment in that patricular location.

If 11x11 or 13x13 minipics are really that bad (and from the amount of ruckus they cause, one might really be inclined to conclude they seem to be worse than no minipics at all), I'll happily just wipe them back into nonexistence.

keep on analyzing blacky ~<3~

Hmm, let's help kiro out here and keep everything contructive 'kay?

i only took a handful of aps but most of my classes were honors--all honors math, english and history. for APs i took:
english language 4
english lit 3
physics C mechanics 4
E&M 3
psychology 4
calculus BC 1 (but thinking it an error, i just aced the equivalent classes at summer school immediately afterwards in 12 weeks)
ap chem 3
(took bio at college)
ap japanese 2
ap econ 4 (I took micro at college in high school)
for history I took everything at college (along with political science) except world history (which was terrible and nonhonors)

I got a 32 overall on the ACT (out of 36, equiv to around 2160 on the SAT); 35 on math and 29 on English and somewhere between for science. Here's the distribution for around my time of testing:



my GPA was 3.1 unweighted and 3.7 weighted, with honors or APs weighted by one point (i.e., five for an A, four for a B, three for a C and zero otherwise like normal)

I took orchestra instead of phys ed for four years, and hated all my nonhonors/college classes. I also was in the japanese tutoring and anime clubs for four years (took japanese for four years).

e: also keep in mind i didnt work at all but graduated with 2 years of college done off the bat and most of my undergrad core classes and major prep done. high school is easy, have fun etc.
e2: i didn't have any money so i didn't apply to any colleges

paul watched toonami, that alone makes it utter crap.

I seriously hope that you are joking. Maybe if they could dumb it down enough and generate enough examples that are easy to work with, but from the pages I'm looking at this seems like a hassle even to me. And I've got a Math B.S. and I've also independently studied a number of areas, including topology and advanced analysis.

It's just that I feel that just shouldn't have to provide you a goddamn document to prove my point. You can analyze and refute all the live long day on any given subject. It just sucks for me that you've been brought up in a more academic environment than I have, and, incidentally, this decides the debate. I just decided to leave it alone because suddenly I can't sit here and make a simple analogy without it being ripped to shreds instead of "oh ok, I see your point" and not reading into the situation way further than it should be. Also because I didn't realize that board2 is a courtroom and requires that I submit written documentation on things in order to be valid.

You know, I kinda see why Sukasa left. With this kind of opposition (regarding 87 fucking pixels, no less) what is the point of admins anyway?

I think we're both worked up over all this, bh. I do see your side, at least a part of it. I do want to thank you for bringing minipics back. We all appreciate it regardless.


it is the citizen's duty to complain

it's sort of ironic that you use the analogy of a courtroom though, since those sites ostensibly are the very places where cases are ripped to shreds WITHOUT proper evidence and win because of sleigh of hand and rhetoric.

It -was- a bit of prime spam, though. As Blacky can find out if he looks.

defamation isn't just about being insulted though, it's about the effects external to the mere insults from one person to another. much like many economics problems, the problem is externalities.

What? Are you saying you don't yet have a 1,000,000 x 1,000,000 x 1,000,000 million pixel volumetric 3D monitor yet?

Your are so behind the tech curve.

sorry all my monitors display arbitary smooth spaces and subsets of are just trivial anyways

I had a 1.1 average on my German A-levels, which I suppose would naively be a 3.9 GPA (as 4.0 is the lowest passing grade and 1.0 ist the best possible).

My examinable subjects (all scores out of 15; generally, they say 15 corresponds to A+, 14 is A, 13 is A-, 12 is B+ etc.) were

Further Maths: 15
Further English: 15
Further Physics: 12 in written exam (whee, blunder), 14 in oral reexamination I insisted on although it really didn't matter for the point average
History: 14 (oral examination)

We had a total of one or two East Asian students at the school I remember, two or three with Russian background, rest being mostly Germans (although there was an Iraqi girl in my German class, I vaguely remember).

After spending a year semi-NEETing away doing [the algebra part of, effectively] second year Mathematics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, I went on to read the Computer Science Tripos (with Physics) at the University of Cambridge. I found myself rather disappointed with the comparative emphasis on the applied aspects that I blame on the strong grip the Digital Technology group - mostly people who would rather self-identify as engineers than scientists - has on the department, but the ELITIST TIER experience itself is rather enjoyable and Cambridge does do a very good job at accumulating people who are interesting to talk to and study with. I finished the first year examinations with first class honours, apparently ranked 6th in the year; given that I spent most of the time up to four days before the exams playing Fate/Stay Night (time sure flies thanks to the language gap), it feels more like the others did even worse than like I did well.

Currently, I am doing a 1.5 month undergraduate research internship in the Mathematical Reasoning Group at the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, working on graph and category theoretical formalisms for quantum computing. So far, what I've been doing has been pertaining to graph rewriting and automorphism groups, if that's any indication. I am quite content.

don't listen to this nub kiro, he's crazy with power and just happy with prestige

i mean he's doing graph theory

It'd be nice if it had 1920x1200, was pretty fast and had bluetooth like the Gateway P-7811 FX but if it has other good features like super-lightweight, touchscreen, etc those can easily be waived. Basically looking for a sturdy work computer for the go.
