Heh, a Klein bottle. Cool.

I wonder if that was sent to try to trick the software. Inside?! Outside?!?!?! BOOOM!

...is still there as a white blob at various scales between Australia & New Caledonia...

It's a good job they're using old 32-bit hardware. A 64-bit int overflow would have resulted in an order for 18,446,744,073,709,551,610 futures. That's a lot.

You'd be surprised how many people run older hardware. I don't give a damn about gaming; so all three desktops and one of the two laptops in my house are old 32-bit machines (Athlons, Pentium 4 3.06GHz HT, Celeron in the lappy). They run apps just as fast as when they were new state-of-the-art machines - it seems daft that it's the window management that's forcing me to look for leaner distros. I'm certainly not going to spend money upgrading hardware to have prettier window decorations and physics.

You mean a water balloon?

You won't get an electric shock touching a conductor at 20V DC, so long as you don't put it on your mouth. The *power* output capability is irrelevant in its ability to shock you.

That is left as an exercise for the reader. Hint: keyboard.

Wow. You win the prize for the worst spelling of "ridiculous".

$0 for not having an Xbox 360 at all. That's the option I'm going for.

You're assuming they're using particles to represent atoms / quarks / whatever, in which case they'd be way short of simulating a speck of dust.

They're using a particle to represent a galaxy, which is a slightly lower resolution but still a valid simulation.

I'd like to see if Dr Fill manages these two:

HIJKLMNO (5)
___ (2, 3, 4, 1, 4)

Now all we need is an open editable resource for chronicling all of history, in the same way that OpenStreetMap does for geography.

What, this one?

All sorts of data and predictions, mixed in with a large dose of "it's probably not there"...

The  is "cubed", of course.
