It's not that it's difficult, it's when I press the arrow keys, the little trainer person doesn't always move--even though I know for a fact that I can go in that direction, since I had just come from that direction.

Congrats on the 800th post, graphmastur. Very interesting, how drastically different your answers are. * holmes221b is randomly speaking like Yoda for reasons beyond even her own kin.

What would you do if someone walked up to you and asked you how to program a calc? Would you point them to some tutorials? Would you take it upon yourself to teach them? A most inquistive person (i.e., me) would like to know.

It looks really good.
The only issue I'm having is that it's difficult to get around the maze for some reason--though that may be 'cause I'm playing it using Wabbit...

I've also gotten shocked a fair couple of times too, when the adapter failed.

Being a successful calculator programmer: Priceless.
For everything else, there's MasterCard.
Seriously, though, congrats on having done all of those things on that list in under a year.

lol, just keep that ready for the middle of the winter when your heating bills get too high  I used to use my laptop adapter as a foot warmer (and I wasn't wearing any socks at the time, either). Worked wonderfully well, too.

Umm, no. They will remove filters and give me administrator access to my laptop when I turn 18, or so they claim. What are the odds that they will stay true to their claim?

Joining IRC in the middle of convos can be akward sometimes.  Sometimes? Isn't it always awkward?

no, describing what is success and what is failure does not manipulate data. describing success and failure defines how the data should be interpreted. you can fudge the interpretation of data, though. just look at the global warming crusade. Chlorofluorocarbons are used in refridgerants, destroy O3 and are generally claimed to be a cause of global warming. you know what else is a large source of CFCs? Volcanoes. The actual data of how many CFCs are being released into the atmosphere cannot be manipulated. it's a straight fact. sure, you can lie about it. but the actual quantity won't change. the interpretation will. "Success" and "failure" is defined by what the researcher is looking for, which CAN and WILL influence what data is collected--and how it is collected. I'm not talking about the dictionary definations of these words.

**This discussion is continued from a tangent started somewhere in this thread** NLP is providing structures and methods that work on 99% of the people. And if one method does not work on person A then changes are very slim a other method wont work either. NLP also wields the power of language. Both verbal and nonverbal language. NLP has some much tricks in it that it has a 100% succes rate because no one is completely immune to NLP (except for the dead xD) It is impossible to have a 100% success rate--at least, not without someone fudging the data. And until you provide me with quantifiable, unbiased, scientific fact, I am inclined to be very dubious of your claims.
impossible to have a 100% success rate?
- every time i take a breath, i breathe in air. 100% of the time. successfully.
- this soccer season, i successfully played in every single JVA game. that's 100%.
- i didn't miss school the entire first quarter. i was successfully, 100%, in attendance.
clearly, someone is fudging the data on my life, because it is impossible to not miss school for 45 days. you must have at least one absence.
-Your body doesn't release all of the carbon dioxide that it produces. -Depends on your definition of "successfully played"--was every pass completed? Did you shoot on the goal and make it every time? -Both physically and mentally? Did you not go to the bathroom during class? Were you ever late to school/a class? To fudge data, you manipulate it. Depending on the confidence value used, for example, you can manipulate the data. Another way of manipulating data is in how you describe the parameters of what is "success" and what is "failure". that word impossible is thrown around too much. i don't agree completely with matthias either, but i'm not going to call his theory impossible. I didn't call his theory impossible. I said that until he provided concrete scientific evidence to back up his claims, I was going to remain dubious of his claims.

1078: You've used your calc as a tricorder.
And before you ask, yes, I have done this.

1075: You know what the rules of the Game are/You know how to play the Game.
1076: You've taught someone how to program a calc.
