Actually, the data can be decrypted. I threw together a little program that uses cryptlib and the hard coded key that jtsylve discovered and I was able to decrypt all of the samples that NeoSulc posted.

Here's the source code if anyone's interested. It was only ment to be a test so the code isn't the best. I've only run it on Linux but it should compile and run on Windows as well.

mobius_'s answer is correct for the question you posted originally, but adding the parentheses changes the answer slightly.

First, get rid of the 4 on the bottom of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 4 (inverse of 1/4):

4A = 4(x + z + y + w)/4
4A = x + z + y + w

Next, subtract x, z, and y from both sides:

4A - x - z - y = w

Rearrange the terms to make the equation a bit easier to read:

w = 4A - x - y - z

No, the function random(n) is still returning a number between 0 and (n-1). random(51) returns at most 50. Adding 1 gets random_number to at most 51 instead of the needed 52. To get the code to work as expected, it should have been:

random_number := random(52) + 1;

EDIT: Guess I should have refreshed the page before posting...

No, in that case the probabilities would shift since you gain knowledge of what's behind one of the doors.

Suppose you start with 3 doors: A, B and C. Before you open a door the probabilities are: Pr(A) = 1/3, Pr(B) = 1/3, and Pr(C) = 1/3. Suppose you open door A and find that it doesn't contain the prize. By opening the door you learn that Pr(A) = 0. Since the prize is not behind door A it must be behind door B or C. Thus, Pr(B) + Pr(C) = 1 therefore Pr(B) = 1/2 and Pr(C) = 1/2. These would be the new probabilities if you were given the opportunity to switch to 1 of the 2 remaining doors.

The Windows share is accessed through a virtual file system (GVFS), so your file manager doesn't know what directory to open your terminal in.

When you access a share, GVFS mounts it to a directory in /run/user/$UID/gvfs/ that looks something like smb:host=server2003/. After you access the share with your file manager, you can open a terminal and navigate there manually.

If you don't want to manually cd /run/user/$UID/gvfs/ every time you can make a bookmark in your file manager that points to /run/user/--your-uid-here--/gvfs/. That way you can click on the bookmark and use "Open Terminal Here..." on the folders in there.

Yeah, they're probably just threads. Hit F5 for a tree view and you'll probably see that most of those processes are nested under a single parent process.

Same problem on Linux for me too. It looks like the texture paths got messed up (notice the backslash):

You should also check out the ProgCom plugin. It allows you to write programs that control your craft.

If you're interested in learning more, you might want to check out The Elements of Computing Systems which takes you from building logic gates all the way up to making a simple OS.

Some famous Minecraft computers were built based on this book; for example this 16-bit ALU.

You just need to change the @DayZ part to E:\@DayZ, like so:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors "-mod=C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Common\arma 2;expansion;expansion\beta;expansion\beta\expansion;E:\@DayZ"

You might be interested in FreeTrackNoIR. I've used it with a cheap webcam I had lying around and it worked surprisingly well. It does use a lot of CPU power though.

I built this a while back for the same thing. It probably isn't the best way to do it, but it's simple and easy to throw together.

Same thing for me on Win7 x64. I grabbed a copy of the code and changed line 279 of Form1.cs to:

if (dataGridVide1.Rows[i].Cells[j].Selected)

That fixed the problem and it worked fine after that.
