Okay, there are three possible arrangements for the coins, given that it's not two tails: HH, TH, HT
since one of them is heads, the other can be a hh, th, or ht.  The probability where the remaining letter is a heads is one out of three.

I actually know the answer because of the Monty Hall Problem with Marilyn Vos Savant.

Wow, this is the best physics game ever made.

This is a HUGE POTY contender.




The difference is shocking.

on a side note, what happened to the particle explosions?  :o

Sort of.  I enjoy some nerdy stuff.  I hate reading non fiction books though.  I usually read the books I like over and over again.  But I play several sports and am not anti-social.  Also, people are generally surprised when they hear I do homework the day due, or finish right before class.  I never study either. :P

I edited Quigibo's post in the Latest Updates thread with a note and a link to the fixed version.

Does anyone have an interesting CA that they like?

This is one of my favorite 1D CA (because of its Turing completeness) and it was generated by the first Axe program I ever made. Rule 110:



lol, That was my first Axe Program as well that I made with all the code being mine.!  ;)

wow, Builderboy comes back, gets back to work on those physics programs, and they are better than ever.  Plus they made Graviter super awesome.  :)

Site Feedback and Questions / Re: How we can improve Omnimaga?

Yes the "Are you Christian" thread was probably the first thread ever to not get locked due to flaming but I account that mainly to Sir getting perm banned. And with the politics thread there has been debate but so far it hasn't escalated and is a good discussion.
wait, why is the politics thread locked?

And the non-negative post system actually sounds pretty good, nice way of rewarding helpfulness and hard work.
I think the negative part of it is a useful way to show you are offended or the poster is being rude.  That way you don't have to respond in a harsh way, instead just say you rated their post down and why.  Plus what I said above about it not being possible ATM.  ;)

Yeah, and so are politics threads. I personally think they're about the same in flame-friendliness.
Hmm... I thought there was a religious topic that never escaladed to extremeties. But maybe that's just me.
The Are you Christian Thread.

I know some people criticized some features, such as the rating system, so I need to know what we could do to improve Omnimaga so it would be more friendly and more drama-less. Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks.
I think that adding politics to the list of things to not discuss here would be a good idea, seeing all of the flaming and locking of the recent politics topic.
Nah... we've been able to handle these kinds of topics before. I think we just need better moderation - not to put any more pressure on you guys - but just a bit more emphasis on those hot topics. If we can handle religion topics, surely we can handle politics, right? :)

EDIT: I opt for a non-negative rating system - that is, you can't rate down posts, only up. Similar to the Cemetech username++ system, but a bit better. This method works on plenty of sites (like Engadget, powered by Disqus), so we might try it.
quite a few people have suggested that, but since we run on SMF 1.1.4, and there aren't any mods for that, it isn't possible.

But aren't religion topics disallowed?

Omnimaga is very good as it is.  The recent problems are not caused by Omnimaga, but by trolls who don't like contributing constructively or by misunderstandings.  We must all figure out what exactly someone is saying before accusing them of something, and listen to his side of the argument.  To prevent events from snowballing, these debates should be discussed via PM as well.  If we all do this, there shouldn't be problems except with deliberate trolls, which is what the banhammer is for.  :P
We don't want to use bans too much though.
There aren't that many deliberate trolls though.  ;)
