    posted a message on Caption Contest Winner?
    This site is giving away free beta keys in a fun even that everybody can join in on. I don't see why you feel the need to criticize that. Obviously people are going to be disappointed when their picture, or the picture they liked the most doesn't win, but you should just be happy for the person who did win and enjoy the funny pictures.

    Quote from Alcovitch

    Well best of luck to you who seems to be determined to be stuck in the past 13 years ago. Enjoy D2 and your precious mods while the rest of us live in the present and enjoy a much improved sequel.

    How do you know Diablo 3 is going to be so much better? Just because it is a newer game will not make it better, as Hans said many hyped sequels have been busts.


    I voted that I am angry about Diablo 3 being online only, but i will still buy it.

    This option really sums up how i feel about several of the latest pieces of information Blizzard has released, but I am interested enough in the lore of diablo to find out what happens, and even if the game is mediocre, playing through it would be more fun than just reading a plot summary of the game or something.

    Although I doubt the game will end up being mediocre. The game itself looks fun, I can just not deal with the RMAH if I choose not to, having to be online will be an annoyance, but it is not awful and if they release content patches or expansions often enough that I wont miss the lack of mods.

    However if you add up all of the finite distances traveled you will eventually get to .99 repeating. .99 repeating is the same number as 1, since two distinct numbers would have a number in between them.

    I have a hard time understanding how 1 + 0.5, etc, can equal .99 :P You would have to start at 0.5 for that to be true. Anyway, there is always a number in between two other numbers, otherwise there would be a finite amount of decimals. And .99 repeating is not 1, it is infinitely close to 1. In practice it is 1 though.


    XD That is what happens to my brain in summer, just lose all ability to do math. It would be 1.9999... or 2.

    If you are arguing that there is always a number between two other numbers, and that .99 repeating and 1 are different numbers, then what is in between them?

    There is not a number in between them, which is why they are not just infinitely close, but actually the same number. Every number can be written in two ways; 1 = .999...., 2 = 1.999..., .5 = .499... and so on.

    Here is the wikipedia page on the subject.

    In case you want another one: Let's say that you have to walk one meter. When you have walked half a meter you still have half a meter left. When you have walked half of that half meter you still have a quarter of a meter left. When you have walked half of that quarter of a meter you still have one eighth of a meter left, and so on.

    However if you add up all of the finite distances traveled you will eventually get to .99 repeating. .99 repeating is the same number as 1, since two distinct numbers would have a number in between them.

    I know, I'm studing "series" (I don't know if that's the term in english... an addition of infinite terms) and it was actually my professor that told us that paradox. That's the catch, an addition of infinite positive terms doesn't always add up to inifinity, that's why Achilles is actually able to catch up with the tortoise.

    My teacher told me a similar riddle when we learned sequences and series. And series is the correct term for addition of terms

    On a Friday, a teacher tells her students: "There's going to be a surprise test next week. It will last the whole day, but you won't know which day it will be until it starts".

    Bummed, two kids who live nearby walk home together.
    One says: "I hate surprise tests... At least we know it can't be on Friday"
    The other: "How come?"
    "Well, she said we won't know when it will be until we start it. So, when we left school on Thursday, we would know it would be on Friday. Thus, it can't be on Friday"
    "Oh, look at that... cool"

    A little further ahead, the second kid says:
    "Wait a minute... if it can't be on Friday, it can't be on Thursday either"
    "Why not?"
    "When Wednesday ended, since we know it can't be on Friday, it would have to be on Thursday. So we would know beforehand if it was on Thursday, so it can't be then."
    "That's true. And if it can't be on Thurday or Friday, by the same logic, it can't be on Wednesay either!"
    "Or on Tuesday, or Monday"
    "So, there can't be a surprise test next week. Awesome!"

    The problem with this is that you cannot rule out the Friday test until Thursday. On Wednesday all you know is that it can either be on Thursday or Friday (since Friday is still an option) and thus the test could be on Thursday and still be a surprise.

    Schrodinger was on acid. That is the only answer I have to that.

    MLG Columbus was really cool. SlayerS_MMA was amazing, and I am really glad MC didn't make it to the finals because he was acting like a dick.

    Funny as in strange or funny as in entertaining-you?
    Both maybe?

    Deleting the old URT does not fall in the entertaining category I am sure...


    You shouldn't be so sure.
    Thanks for clearing that up because I still remember your idol trolling you somewhere on the forums. It was hilarious indeed. I wish I could find the posts though. :xD:

    That only goes to further my point that he is a funny guy, although I have to take your word that it was hilarious, because I don't remember the incident that you are talking about.

    I just saw this movie:

    It was weird, kind of funny though. I don't normally watch grindhouse type films, so it was really weird seeing that much blood while laughing at the dialog.

    You should also include frisbee shields in that list Ophion.

    I believe a frisbee is how you were killed in your past life as Emil.
