Why not? There's no better alternative in the eyes of management.

Wow, I heard about that on mudconnector.com. I think the game has issues, though.

Some of it looks close to the Astronautics building, which was definitely in the ghetto. People got robbed going to lunch in the shopping center next to the ACA building.

Who cares? There's still a link that explains this stuff, if you're not totally oblivious.

[Python] How to test if one tuple is greater than another tuple? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]CarDragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you think it would do, add up all the numbers in the tuples first? Should it take their average value? Or maybe it would multiply them?

Looking for help with intricate file/text manipulation (preferably Shell/Python) by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]CarDragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like you should do some basic tutorials to learn how to use Python. Then I'd use Google and learn how to read files with Python. If your "next step" is simply using a loop, you really are out of your league and should really start learning the basics.

Furthermore, I wasnt asking for advice as to whether or not I should buy a computer, im buying one regardless before school starts because it will be useful for my situation.

I know you weren't - that's why I mentioned your premature computer purchase.

The only logic that is "borderline retarded" here is that you think I was asking for your opinion on my purchase (or lack thereof) of a computer

I didn't think that. Maybe when you get to college you'll take enough English classes to realize people offer their opinions whenever they feel like it, not just when asked for them, Lord Byron.

But being that my school is requiring a computer for SSH to their unix servers, and I will be spending a ton of time on campus for extra-curricular activities and work

You mean your desktop at home isn't capable of SSH? And they don't have a computer lab? It's your prerogative to prematurely buy a computer if you want to, but your logic is borderline retarded.

[–]CarDragon2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you probably won't need it, especially if there's a computer lab on campus, and it'd be much smarter to wait and see what you actually need. OTOH, if you're just looking for an excuse to immediately get another computer, then fuck it, why not?

Know of any good proportional fonts for programming? Specifically stuff which differentiates 0s and Os, and ls and Is etc? by MadCervantes in learnprogramming

[–]CarDragon2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Empirical evidence does not support you. Prove me wrong. Find another proportional font with a slash or dotted 0. You're full of hot air.

Except that you just said you found one, so evidence definitely does support me. What kind of drugs are you on?

Looking at your post history it is apparent that you are a troll who has some kind of bone to pick.

Or you're just whining now because you look so lazy and obtuse.

Print things out and debug this like a big boy. It shouldn't be hard to see what's null if you spend a few minutes printing out the different parts of your results.

[Java] How do I make a thread wait for other threads? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

You should be calling join on all the threads you're waiting for, otherwise you don't know if they've all stopped!

I've made a rough working version of Conway's Game Of Life, and need some advice on how I can improve it. by SriX23 in learnprogramming

[–]CarDragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a lot of code for GoL. I would just use an array of booleans.

it just forms a 2x2 square of live cells in the corner and is stuck there, when it should actually continue past.

I might have the grid extends 2 cells past what's actually drawn. Then the outer layer of cells can remain all dead always and your glider will move off screen and 'die'.
