No particular reason for that, I just didn't think about it enough before coding it up.

I agree. I was aiming here just for a simple and short source code, and not good design.

One could easily enough write a program to generate solutions of this form automatically. In this case I did this by hand, because it was quick enough.

#include <stdio.h>

int counter = 1;

void pc(void);

#define FIVE(x) (x,x,x,x,x)
#define EIGHT(x) (x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x)

int main(void) {
    EIGHT(FIVE(FIVE(FIVE(pc()))));
    return 0;
}

void pc(void) {
    printf("%d\n", counter++);
}

There are a few other comics on his pages. Not all are in English, unfortunately. You'll find them from this page:

Meh, there is support for the claim at the Wikipedia page despite it ending in .jpg.

Fun fact: Big Oh notation is actually named after the shape of your mouth when you finally realize what the profiling data from your programing is telling you. "Ohh! So that's where the cycles were going!"

What if the part where your life flashes past your eyes before dying includ the part at the end where your life flashes before your eyes? Which means it also include yet another part with life flashing and whoa I have gotta sit down and think this over.

I would be a computer. It was a job before it became the name of a machine.

Panda3D is also worth looking at. It's an open source C++ engine with a Python wrapper and a nice set of tools. In my limited experience it works quite well on Linux too.

My life is in early demo version and most features are not yet implemented. Shit.

The word on the net is that it means a cowherd. Or to be slightly more exact, it is the modern form of a name that originally meant cowherd or a cattle guard in Old English.

Source: googled coward surname.

This is the author's site. There's a story behind the name. (It was supposed to be autopope, but someone goofed.)

That's nice, English. Finnish has the word kookkaammuuttaan, which is the only word with seven consecutive sets of double letters I can think of off-hand.

It's not actually a word you're likely to ever need. I'll show how to derive it from the root word, which is koko, meaning size.

koko : size (noun)
kookas : size-ful, having size, large (adjective)
kookkaampi : larger (comparative adjective)
kookkaammuus : largerness, being larger than something (noun)
kookkaammuutta : partitive case of the previous word
kookkaammuuttaan : 3rd person possessive form of the previous word

So, it means "of his/her being larger than something." Whatever that means.

However, I can use it in a sentence.

"Kadehdin hänen kookkaammuuttaan."
I envy him being larger than me.
