Edit, from old thread (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,2748.0.html):
This marks the old, original installment of the classic Ask the All Purpose Fox the Original Series! Filled with lots of spiffy CGI, bad acting and hot fox action!
The rules are very simple. You ask questions and we will provide answers. We, being members of the AP team.
No promises on what kind of answer though, it can be informative, sarcastic, misleading, non-sequitor or comical. So tally ho!
PS: Answering in the form of a question is in fact cheating and will result in extreme burnination.
Also, rhetorical questions will be answered at random. Please also note that this is standard policy for all questions, but this case warrants special attention.
Lastly and most importantly, this is NOT a forum help thread. Forum related questions will be treated as rhetorical questions. We are just as inclined to dip people in chocolate and toss them to the fire ants as answer their questions.
If you have any real forum questions they should be PM'd to a forum moderator or posted in the appropriate forum located here ----> http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0
Oh yes, a list of APFs and friends.

It will fail massively. So massively, in fact, that D-moon will have no choice but to ban your ass for such tremendous amounts of failure and inadvertantly killing off the rest of the players. Then your internet will be disconnected and your computer will be repo'd. After that, you become a hobo on the mean streets of Hoboken, Michigan and die in a freak snowstorm that ravages the whole country, stemming specifically from your inability to manage the RP. The world will erect a memorial to all those who died, except for you, who will be forever remembered as "that douche who failed so much that Mother Nature wiped him and 200,000 others off the planet. What a 'tard." Kids will be told to do well in school or they'll become you. And nobody wants that. Not even you.

if you read a webcomic faithfully, and the artist hasn't updated for over four months because of a move, and then said artist made one update within the last two months... should a reader be able to protest the situation and ask that the artist finish the storyline of the project, or should the reader just consider the comic officially DEAD and let the artist fall on their own sword?

ABSOLUTELY protest! After all, the artist
owes it to you to finish the story. In fact, you ought to demand back pages, for the ones he missed! Fight the man!

How do we prevent global warming?
This is actually the easiest question to answer, ever, assuming that global warming is caused by humans and can be stopped by them- stop consuming.
Which is to say, falling over dead is the most effective way for us to cut down on greenhouse emissions. :)
Actually, if we all dropped dead, the process of decomposition on some 6-odd billion people would wreak absolute havoc on the ecosystem.
And it'd be really, really stinky.
Then release all the carbon built up on the human body into the atmosphere. Good job there.
Huh. Way to not consider the consequences, self. :B
WELL, YOU'VE HAD YOUR INACCURATE ANSWER. MOVING RIGHT ALONG, NOW.

I fail to see what's wrong with the use of the word 'euphemism'.
Euphemisms are fine. The question is, what's he think it's a euphemism for?
Funny, that post does include a question, but not a question mark. It's the opposite of what some people *cough*llearch*cough* often do. I'll allow Shades to answer... if he feels like it and the topic's rating allows it.

If you're laughing hard enough when you hurt yourself, is it possible you won't feel pain?
What makes a dub sucky, and how can it be avoided?
Only if you're numb for another reason.
The voices and intonation of the original actors can't be perfectly imitated by the dubbers, and the emotions conveyed by the speech are lost. In addition to that seeing their lips move one way and the voices say something else is annoying. And it becomes even worse when the dubbers change the meaning of what's being said to make a localized version rather than trying to keep it as close as possible to the original. And the latter is very hard to do, because not only do they have to find translations for phrases that don't always have an exact equivalent in the destination language, but also make them so that they fit in the same interval in which the character is speaking.
Best solution: avoid dubs altogether. If you don't speak the original language, find a version with subtitles.

From Wikipedia:
"Valmanway from Castlevania games (though it was called Crissaegrim once), a sword which, when used, emit razorwind around itself doing multiple hits. Valmanway is also extraordinarily light, capable of very quick attack as well as giving its wielder more freedom to his movements. It is the most powerful of all the "short sword" weapons in Dawn of Sorrow."

Its excellent for driving students mad to the point where they go braindead, thus making the teachers' jobs much much easier.

How come whenever I read one of Eibbor's posts, I imagine Izzy from Digimon (The guy in his avatar) talking? And why do I think he's going to answer this question just to spite me?
I am totally happy having my opinions spoken in Izzy's voice. :D

What, Levateinn or however it's spelled? Or maybe Flamdring, or Eld Sleika. I don't think I've ever heard of a sword called Eld Sleika though. And I doubt there's a mythological Flametongue.

I hate you. :c But love you for liking Digimon at the same time. And Izzy's my favorite season 1 care, so more luv for u. *Tries to kill Eibbor with digi-fantard love*
How come no one likes Digimon any more? I know that it's not as popular as Pokemon, since it doesn't have like twenty different games, but I think it's better. Mostly because there's no Ash.
Why do I have to do so many essays? I have essays in classes that aren't related to English at all. :c (I have one in my Computer Lit class, I had one in a Health class last semester, I had one in my Spanish class this year and one in my Spanish class last year, I had one in my Algebra class last year...) It's insane!
Why can't I have 'em in
English class? One, they're about the dumbest things that I'll never have a use for, and two, the ones I have in English class seem...more "fun". And I already have good spelling, grammar, etc. anyway, unlike 80% of my classmates.

You can't really poison something that can burn away any traces of foreign particles.

I CAN FIELD THESE QUESTIONS!
Izzy's my favourite as well! :D ~<3
I suspect that it's because the seasons started going downhill after the first. And then evidently they got good again later, but by then everyone had jumped ship and the whole thing was old news. It can only be popular once!
I'm one of those who wasn't a fan of season 2, and stopped watching midway through it.
Oh ho! Essays; not just for English! My girlfriend just had to write an 8-page essay for her <i>history</i> class!
I can't say how a Spanish essay would work, though. You had to write it all in Spanish, or something, I guess? I dunno. Teachers, hey! Weeeeird.
Also, the dumbest thing that you never had a use for is the proper formatting of
citations! Related, but FAR MORE INANE.

Man, did you really have to stretch out the forum to accommodate your esoteric programming language? And what does that program do, anyways?
Annoy people, of course.
Why is everyone else complaining about the forum being stretched? It's not stretched for me. :.
You and Shades are just used to things being stretched out.
What with the pink needles and all.
Why do you suck so much? :<
Well, how many sucks does it take to get to the center of a juice box?

Used to be that you could hack the firmware to set it up so that disk sucked down an insane amount of power, frying it instantly. I've not tried that lately, though I'm sure it has been fixed up.
Why is Izzy Eibbor's favorite character? :P And is Tentomon his favorite Digimon?
What was season 2 about? I don't remember. I remember season one, the season with Guilmon, Renamon and Terriermon (I don't think that was S2), the one where the kids could turn into Digimon (I never liked that one. I don't know why.), and the one where they could make their Digimon digivolve with certain items to turn into certain Digimon.
Actually, the two Spanish essays I wrote were in English, and just about Spanish-related things. The one I had to write recently was about bull-fighting, and I believe the other one I had to write last year was about the Day of the Dead.
Why must citations be so hard to do? I had to learn about them in my English class and my typing class last semester, and I still don't understand them...or remember how to do them.
How come taking tests like the ACT makes no sense? I had to take a "practice ACT" back in September/October, and I had like 5 or so minutes left after every section except Science, but I couldn't go ahead or anything. And I guessed on probably 75% of the Science questions because I had 10 minutes to do 20-25 problems and didn't have enough time for each question. :c It's not fairrrrrrrrr

It was like Season 1 with all new characters, only this time they were completely hollow. Some of 'em were just Version II of first season characters.
I found myself disliking 'em all.

Only good thing about them is that you can more-or-less copy the format out of a book. :/ Of course, it seems to change for inane reasons every year or so, so you have to keep updating.

Try asking your teacher.
Why does it happen so that the sum of the reciprocals of the powers of three (i.e. 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27 + ...) equal to 1/2?
Because that's the infinite sum of the geometric series.
The formula for the sum of a geometric series is the following:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/f/9/d/f9d60aca60f3e7fc00759b27f419645c.png) or, as k tends to infinity and 0<r<1, (http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/8/b/8/8b81459ee194665322c210647c304da6.png)
In this case, a = 1/3 and r=1/3. (So we have 1/3*1/3^0+1/3*1/3^1+1/3*1/3^2+...)
Then the sum will be: a/(1-r)=(1/3)/(1-1/3)=(1/3)/(2/3)=1/2.
There's your answer.

How does one create works of art?
There are various ways... there are even various works of art. In my experience, the creation process can begin in 2 ways: with inspiration, or with intention.
If it begins with inspiration, you get an idea that you like and you start exploring it further, trying to figure out where it can take you, and working out the details as you see fit (there are several different ways to do this).
If it begins with intention, there's a reason why you want to create something, so you work with that reason, searching for anything related to it that you may find useful. Then you put all the useful bits together and try to dig deeper, trying to work out whatever is missing, until you get the full picture.
This covers only the imagination part, which is what all forms of art have in common. From there onwards, the process varies depending on what form of art you have chosen. Do you want to draw a picture? Write a story? A poem? A song? Make a sculpture? Take a special photo? The process will vary according to the answer.
What would you do to stop someone from flaming a friend?
Contact the authorities, honestly. Admins, Mods, whatever.
I think, though, that the best way to stop flaming is to not react to it. Tell your friend that if they reply, they are just entertaining the flamer, and giving them something to react to.

Why must lawyers make people's live so hard?
They have what we call a "Sue Note". They write the names of people in it. Those people get annoyed 45 seconds later. This act lengthens the lawyer's life span and increases the size of their bank account. If you see one, make sure to take their Sue Note and write their own name in it.

You don't
have to give anyone anything. You can do as you please, as long as you're willing to face the consequences of your actions.
Some people aren't good for maths, many aren't even interested iun learning, and some are even afraid. Maybe they've had bad experiences with math teachers, or maybe no one has ever taught them properly or encouraged them to think. They may be good at other things, though.

English also has the disadvantage of having been conquered by the Germans, forced to adopt some German constructs, then conquered by the French and forced to adopt French constructs. That is why on the farm it is called a pig and on the plate it is called pork.
What about cow/beef, lamb/mutton and deer/venison? Or Chicken/Chicken? Did the French/Germans just run out of imagination then?

Yes, well. Here's one llearch can't google, then.
I can give sight to sightless eyes,
sound to deafened ears,
I'm made of dust and human lies,

QuoteI can give sight to sightless eyes,

Computer technology has reached the point where certain cases of blindness and deafness can be, if not 'cured', than mitigated. People who have been deaf all their lives can hear, blind people see, and soforth.
QuoteI'm made of dust and human lies,
but never felt a fear,
Dust - silicon. Human lies refers to operating systems. And, of course, computers cannot fear. They're machines.
QuoteI'm a friend forever tripping traps,
but you I'll always blame,
Computers break a lot. This is generally blamed on the user. Computers can't make 'mistakes' as such, although llearch informs me that this is a difference of opinion between himself and the person I heard this from.
QuoteI stare at you and you stare back,
and I burn within my chains
You're staring at a monitor right now. And, of course, computers run pretty hot. They also have quite a few cables they're tethered to.

Why do we Americans call football "soccer" and fum-ball [fumble: really bad pun] "Football?"
Because americans don't wanna be like the rest of the world. That's why most Americans Football fans if you call Soccer Football. Though that name matches the game though. Also you will never see a professional Rugby match in American or on ESPN. They call if Amateur Rugby. Though Rugby is more brutal than American Football.

In the late teens/early twenties a difference of two years is pretty substantial, more so then the difference even as early as the mid twenties.
The kangaroo would probably chuckle and make, "Is it in yet?" jokes. Then the roo rat would stab the roo. Then many Aussies would rejoice.

Only if the blankets are too heavy... or if they sleep face-down in which case the pillow would block the access for the air. But it's no different for girls from what it is for boys, if that's what you're asking. Our respiratory systems are the same.

I think the query Castle Pokemetroid wanted to ask is "do the breasts get in the way of breathing?"
The problem with that query is that the only people who are really qualified to answer the question are the transgender folk, since they're the only people with experience of lying on their front both with and without breasts. I should go ask one of them, when next I see my friend on email...
Unrelatedly, why is it that people are so militantly stupid, as a whole?

Well, the beginning of the end was agriculture. 10,000 years ago some jackass in Turkey thought that it would be a good idea. Then people started getting smarter, since they did not have to devote every moment of everyday to trying to get something to eat. Problem is that soon people got so smart that no one could have a general knowledge of everything, and you had to have specialists. These specialists were smart in one area, but dumb in others. As the body of knowledge in one area grew more had t o be given up to be smart in that one area. Thus, today, people can either be smart about one thing, dumb about everything else, or generally stupid about everything.
Why are some specialist fields much more popular than others, say, being a specialist in sextant use.

Walk down the street and pick someone. Imagine them in underwear and pajamas. Do you want to claw your own eyes out? The reason why is that normal people don't imagine others in underwear and pajamas, for good reason too. Therefor, people are less likely to identify a person in underwear and pajamas.

That's because of all the TV-channels. You can't just show re-runs of the good series all month long, and advertising companies won't pay anything if noone watches. So they mass-produce mediocre cr@p for as little money as possible to fill the timeslots between commercials. - It's all about the money.

Feet, the Imperial standard of measurement for things less then ten yards, basically, traces its origin to an English King who decided that the standard would be based on the length of his foot, from the tip of his heel to the furthest forward bit of big toe. (Will edit with correct name)

Arguably, your body (same as any average male, for that matter) changes significantly over the time during which breasts develop, invalidating any experiences beforehand. Since the chest area (actual physical chest, not breast) is larger, wider, deeper, and stronger, the breathing is likely to be different.
Arguably.

Honest though: RL goes first. If you have too little time but can't live without this forum, just restrict yourself to only check the, let's say, maybe 10 threads you like best, and your forum-reading-time to a certain volume. Remember: If your internetting-time goes up and your grades go down, chances are good that so will your online-time-allotment, once your parents figure out the connection of the two facts. :P
In my experience, it works to check the forum in the mornings before I start studying or doing whatever work I have to do, and then in the evenings after I'm done for the day.

@ Shadefox:

Pretty much just the hammer heads on that list. The broadside teams can take out the leman russes quickly, but after that guard tend to be target poor for broadsides. Add to that a lack of mobility and if they don't take out the tanks quickly they get blasted. The marker lights are finicky and the model shooting it tends to only have a +4 to hit anyways. The crisis teams tend to get blown up in short order with out inflicting a lot of damage to a guard army. Hammer heads got a lot more dangerous in 5th edition now that blast weapons don't roll to hit, just scatter like ordinance, and that submunition option is important once the tanks are gone.
Though part of it I suspect is that most people play Tau wrong, trying to make them into the stand and shoot army that is actually filled by the guard. Just remember, guard win long range fire fights.
And one day I may have to commission your friend ;p

Pretty much just the hammer heads on that list. The broadside teams can take out the leman russes quickly, but after that guard tend to be target poor for broadsides. Add to that a lack of mobility and if they don't take out the tanks quickly they get blasted. The marker lights are finicky and the model shooting it tends to only have a +4 to hit anyways. The crisis teams tend to get blown up in short order with out inflicting a lot of damage to a guard army. Hammer heads got a lot more dangerous in 5th edition now that blast weapons don't roll to hit, just scatter like ordinance, and that submunition option is important once the tanks are gone.
Though part of it I suspect is that most people play Tau wrong, trying to make them into the stand and shoot army that is actually filled by the guard. Just remember, guard win long range fire fights.

You know, now that you mention it I think you are right Azlan. In light of the new vehicle damage charts the broadsides do gain in the usefulness category as well, since it will take more rounds to take out most tanks, even low armor tanks.

Yes. That's in fact how it works.

You see, when a mommy boson and a daddy boson get together they create a ripple in the higgs. This then leads to higgs bosons. Then God comes along and says "FOOLISH MOTALS!

Which is why Jesus is a terrorist in Geneva right now. That is my explanation of the diagram.

It just appears that way, relaxation is the key to sleep. If you exert too much effort in trying to sleep, it is actually counterproductive to obtaining sleep state.

Take a lot of pins. Attach them to a block. Tie this assembly to your forehead. That way, when you drift off, your head falls onto your desk and forces the pins into your face.
Quote from: Ronin Foxtail on September 02, 2008, 01:03:08 AM
How does caffeine work?
Better on some then others. For instance caffeine actually calms me down. The idea is that it stimulates the brain, so that the sugars get around faster, leading to the brief boost in energy, and then the crash when you wear yourself out and use up a lot of sugar and water.
How will that help if I have an equal possibility to fall in many directions?
Quote from: Darkdragon on September 02, 2008, 02:47:55 AM
How will that help if I have an equal possibility to fall in many directions?
Simple. Take some more pins to build more blocks and attach them all around you.
That way, wherever you fall... well, you get the idea.
I'd rather resort to tea.
Then again, I'd always rather resort to tea. I try to avoid all-nighters, though.
^ Seconded!
If you can get it, try Lady Grey with half of teaspoon of honey in it- it's got caffeine, and it tastes awesome.

Think of all the benefits you'll gain from not quitting - or of the disadvantages if you don't succeed.
Additionally, it may help if you define smaller goals inside your task. This way you'll get a small gratification (in your mind) once you reach one of those. That should help you keep going.

Because the world does better with people who have earned intelligence rather than just passing C students on as if they were A students.

Can I have some HP sauce with the badger?
And perhaps a couple of slices of toast?

Once again, I have to point out that Mr. Badger is is asshole.
On a more serious note, ugh, so many details you left out. For one thing, clear line of site to the HQ? When does that happen in an IG army? Unless the front line was blown up you are going to suffer the 4+ cover save in 5th edition. In that regard, the terminators could teleport to an uncovered site and blast from there, but runs a very real risk in the form of teleportation accidents and plasma guns. On the other hand, the Hammerhead is just one tank, and the leman russ' battle cannon has a 72" range and the basilisk cannon has a 240" range, so the guardsmen have range on you still. And one shot can be enough to take out the hammerhead, while the terminator squad, even in the worst case, is going to survive longer. Though if you look at the bigger picture, the fact that the terminators will be a quarter of the army in a 2000 points game (assuming there are heavy weapons in there. Why wouldn't you take the heavy weapons?) means that having them in a good position to be blasted would be a huge plus, while the hammerhead would only be in range of the leman russ and the basilisk.

How are you to aim the thing with no hands or legs? I shall be fleet, as the low frequency and poor accuracy in the cannon renders it moot. I shall call forth fire from the sky; Shades, would you mind if I set fire to the land for hundreds of years and render this land inhabitable for normal people as a side effect?
Oh darkdragon, you forget how far technology has come. Can you say, auto targeting, auto firing, mobile weapons platform?

You'll be very glad to know that the land has been so tainted that the power lines don't work as you want. And you fired with it set to reverse. I'd suggest you to check next time before you fire, but I've accidentally crushed it. Does anyone know how to get back to original size?

FIRE! *k'thoom*
Although the warning isn't for me I could get the concept if everyone else is fleeing for their life, you know? And you didn't ask a question. The APF's are going to get mad...
I'm not a fire dragon, so I can't please your draconic desires and pyrotechnic desires at the same time. But I can use my lightning breath (blame my parents) and ability in chronic manipulation to fry Slowtini with no resistance, although this won't put up a very good show. Or I could stand back and produce darkbursts to attempt to hit him. It'd be super effective as Slowtini would be Water/Psychic/Dragon type (let's pretend you can have three types) and in Pokémon Dark is super effective against Psychic and Dragon is super effective against other Dragon Pokémon. Thus you would be seeing much more dragon, given this fact to light, right?
Is darkdragon blind? I stated "Would you kindly leave the state?", which is a question/command/awesomeness.

Of course, I would not remind you of your folly yet again, but English grammar does state a question mark to be used to qualify as a question, unlike languages like Japanese. Furthermore, I do remember names have to be capitalized, would you please kindly do so next time?
Darkdragon, I'll turn your words around: just because your posts end with a question mark it doesn't make them questions.

Is it the media's fault that they have to make so much tv reality shows till our eyes bleed?
Can you fit a bar of soap into a bottle without melting it?
May. Tony would fins the suit too stuffy
Cause the band though it was good. I used to actually know why they called it that but I forgot.
No it's the public that seem to think reality shows are so damn interesting. They need to realize it's not reality.
Wide mouth bottle and the soap is wet.

I found that that guard over there has embezzled about twenty thousand dollars from the APF financial grant* in the last year. Do you want me to keep him alive for your questioning or I can try out my new devices of demonic torture?
*Which I have never heard about until now. What do the APF's do with it?
Take Ink with you. We never spoke of this.
Do? Do with what?
The APF financial grant. I've been considering starting a university dedicated to high technology and SCIENCE! along with classes in creative uses and abuses of magic.
Therefor, I have been securing funding. Universities are not cheap. Especially for all the blast doors I'm having installed.

The first trick is that it doesn't exist yet ;p
Though I was thinking, that the first test is actually getting to the entrance exam. All the doors in the AP University are locked, always. So you have to break in. The penalty for getting caught breaking in are... harsh.

I was thinking more hidden in plane sight, where there is a 'campus', it looks pretty and and there is always hustle and bustle and it looks like any other university. Though, the real campus is elsewhere.
You are excited by this idea because it is, at some deep and primitive level, and awesome idea.

No specific class, but stealth will be a general requirement. IE you have to break into class, getting caught breaking in is punishable. Teleporting is considered a form of breaking in. Getting caught with a weapon in the halls is punishable, though some classes will require you brining your own weapon. Things like that.

I must note, no one has yet survived the entrance exams to APFU... I'm glad they pay up front and all the scholarships are fully funded for the term.
But I thought it was free if you can get in... Was I mistaken?
We tell everyone that it is free. We send everyone an invoice as well. It is full of amusing.
Ah... Do you mean something akin to "Hidden charges"?
Not really. It's not like they're hiding them.
You don't have to pay the invoice. It's just a bonus if you do.

And if you were to optimize a program running dense linear algebra and heavy with matrix transformations on a 60 node cluster, each node with a dual core processor and connected with some really sweet interconnects, would you be better attack the problem of memory latency or network latency?

New York.
Depends. If you have sufficient memory on each node, then network is probably your biggest bang/buck. On the other hand, if you haven't got enough memory, all the network efficiency in the world isn't going to make things any faster, and screwing with the standard protocols is asking for interesting bugs to show up.
Are you using NUMA on the cores, or are we talking standard Wintel hardware?
This is standard Wintel hardware, each node had 4 gigs of memory and a dual core Xeon processor. Actually it is a Dell blade system. BTW for anyone looking at buying a cluster from Dell... don't get the support package if you do. Of any sort. What ever they tell you about support and delivering the system preconfigured is a lie.
Thing with the code is that it looks like there has been some optimization for the network transfer latency already while there has been nothing done about memory access. And some profiling seems to indicate that the matrix transformations chew up time at parts that have nothing to do with network transmissions. Though that is just a small profile run that did not hit that many nodes so the network latency may grow faster then the memory latency. I still need to run more tests.

"enough" depends on what you want to put in it. 4Gb may be short. 256Mb may be ample. Sadly. :-/

Well, moving from a cluster with 4 times as much memory per node to a cluster with more and faster CPUs improved the speed significantly on a node per node basis, so there is enough memory. It comes down to a problem of access time.
And I find that talking with people who understand the fundamentals of computers often yields good advice, regardless of where they actually specialize ;p
And if I do get some really useful stuff talking from you I think it would be amusing to put into a thesis acknowledgement section, "And a thankyou to (insert llearch's real name here) who is a veritable box full of good ideas."

What is the plural of the word "Nictarl"?
Since it's the name for a species, I'd say it's Nictarls
Wouldn't "Nictari" properly be the plural form, with "Nictaris" the singular?
No, because then "Nictarl" wouldn't be a word at all.
Yeah, you're mis-reading.
Caswin asked for the plural for NICTARL.

What is it about math that people dislike?
Quote from: Darkdragon on January 24, 2009, 09:07:33 PM
What is it about math that people dislike?
I don't think it is the basics of math that people dislike, but rather having to map real problems to math. It requires critical thinking and some uncomfortable gray areas of "Is this really the best way to model this?"
And if I may add to the list of things that give PCs a bad reputation, there is the little endian byte order. Intel engineers will be the first against the wall during the revolution just for that. There are also some poor choices of instructions to include, such as the built in string operations and hardware task switching which are not used anymore for being slow, inefficient, and/or dangerous; yet still have to be provided 'just in case' taking up silicone on the chip. Hardware page tables, which can not be bypassed like the previously mention instructions because they are an integral part of how the Pentium works, leading to poor page table management and poor virtualization performance on historic chips because you have to emulate and shadow the page table access to properly virtualize it, and have your virtalization program rewrite the binary as it executes so that it hits the shadow page table rather then the real one. There is also the fact that there is a single IO channel and no option for expansion, though some slick tricks in modern OSes can alleviate this problem. And most hardware is not hot swappable. I've seen modern mainframes where anything that is not physically soldered on can be replaced while the system is running.
Edit:
I just remembered a few other things. 4 general purpose registers. When the next lowest number I know of is 16. That is for those crappy little processors in your cellphone. You can hack your way around this, stealing the stack base pointer for a general pointer register, and stealing the string pointer registers for two more pointer registers, so you have registers for 3 pointers, but no way to use them for general purpose arithmetic. With the 64 bit chips you get 8 more general purpose registers, which is really nice. But you must be in 64 bit mode, which means 64 bit pointers, which is going to futz with the memory bandwidth, pumping more bytes through for each pointer. So you can't have the extra registers and only use a 32 bit pointer.
I could keep going, but I have a feeling I've lost most people there <_<

Many people associate cute things with babies. I don't even baby-talk to babies, so I can say it's not a physical reaction.
It would require the existance of pokemon at the very least. Plus conversion of matter into energy and (even harder) back into matter without killing nor damaging the pokemon in any way, plus a way to store the energy in the meantime while making it compact and safe to hold. In sum, I don't think we'll ever get to see one of those things in real life.

What really makes a person to be a gaming nerd?
Why does it take alot skill and years to earn something that's very close into our grasps?
Yes. Life.
Which Final Fantasy are you talking about? Because most of them are completely different games rather than sequels, and I haven't heard of any FF games having more than one sequel. Now Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros., on the other hand... :rolleyes
No, I think time and support are best. But chocolate is tasty. Just don't eat too much because it can make you sick.
You'd have to be a
nerd (study a lot, read a lot, enjoy learning and value knowledge in general) and
play games (not to be mixed up with a
gaming geek, who's practically obsessed about games, spends most if not all of his/her free time playing them and talking about them and knows the subtlest details about them by heart).
Could you please rephrase that question? My internal parser is very sensitive to grammar mistakes.
Is it a bad idea to point out to a friend when they're being a hypocrite about something when they're complaining about the hypocrisy that they've encountered?
No, I think it's a good idea. Just be careful with the wording an intonantion.
Anyone know any good websites for studying Spanish? I want to review for a quiz tomorrow, and while the book is helpful, I'd like to find a site like I used to use when I studied French - where you can play little games and answer questions to help the lessons get ingrained in your head.
What's the word for the kind of class that doesn't really count towards your overall grade? Y'know, like chorus or P.E.?

I guess it's too late to help you with the quiz (I hope you did well), but you can talk to me whenever you want to practice your Spanish. I think talking to a native speaker is the best way to learn a language.
In Spanish? Extracurricular.

Why was sexual reproduction invented? I mean, there's loads of organisms that are highly successful and they've been using asexual reproduction for hundreds of millions of years.

"Invented" implies intentionality and I'm not going to start a religious discussion, but in any case, sexual reproduction produces stronger genes and more varied individuals, and makes species more adaptable to changes. Asexual reproduction produces individuals whose genes only vary according to random mutations, thus improvements are scarce (and by improvements I mean treats that make the species more likely to survive).

Why does time seem to travel faster as one ages?
Quote from: Darkdragon on March 07, 2009, 05:25:22 AM
Why does time seem to travel faster as one ages?
Wow, my brother was just talking about this! We both think it's because, as we become older, we start living in a hurry and trying to meet deadlines, thinking about the future instead of living in the present. We pay less attention to the little details, so when we stop to think about a certain moment it's already gone.
That, and I have the feeling that we always feel the same way about the time we have lived, regardless of how long it has been. At least that's what happens in my case.
I've always thought it was a mater of scale. When you are young you have fewer days behind you, thus you don't have as much of a frame of reference for time. But as you get older, and you can remember years and more decades, each moment seems much smaller.

That sounds like a zen question, but I'd say it is. The law says that you must not do it, not that you must not get caught doing it. If you don't get caught, then you may not face punishment for it (save for the punishment your conscience may deliver, if you feel what you have done is wrong), but that doesn't make it any less illegal.

You can try, if you have the time and patience required to host an RPG, and if you have an idea that people here may like. If you have the former but not the latter, you could try posting it somewhere else, where people are interested in playing something different. If you don't have the former, then you should at least try getting a co-GM, or waiting until you have enough fre time.

You need to find the reason first. As far as I know (from dealing with others), people become apathetic when they feel there's something that would hurt them too much if they faced their feelings. So I think you should find what that something is, and how to deal with it.

There's this kid on my street who has some sort of morbid fascination with the woman who lives across from me and my family. She's sort of a shut-in, a little aggressive, and rather nosy, but my dad and I are nice to her because we know she's not really a mean person, she's just old and has nothing much to do. The aforementioned kid is obsessed with her for whatever reason; he'd tell other kids she was a witch when he was younger, tries to knock on her door or look in her windows, and today I saw him circling her house with a group of cronies. Although the woman is a little hard to get along with, I'm really angry at this kid and disgusted that he won't leave her alone. What should I do?

As far as I know, flow charts are used for processes. For binary relations, I think a graph works best (you can look for graph-drawing programs, like dotty, or whatever suits your particular needs which you haven't specified). For arbitrary relations, a graph could still work but you'll end up having a lot of cliques. There may be better tools for that. It would help if you couldtell us exactly what you need.

RE-EDIT: Scratch that, I do need help. How can I make a big, complicated flowchart of interconnecting relationships?
Though Gabi answered already, I have some input too. You may need an additional layer of abstraction. If you are using bog standard UML flow charts you may wish to look into what is called 'packages'. A decent UML book will describe this.
Yeah, I figured that that would probably be a little too vague. My mistake.
What I'm trying to make is a visual representation of relationships between a fairly large group of fictional characters. Said relationships (familial, social, hierarchical and more where that came from) are diverse enough to require either captions (as my paper draft uses) or a color-coded key to represent accurately. DOT and DOTTY look promising.
Pictures would be nice, but that would be secondary icing-on-the-cake. That said, not that I would seriously spend money on this, but I would be more than a little surprised if graphing software like that doesn't exist on the market.

We can...
1. Compare the quantities: that's easy, it's 3 vs. 4.
2. Compare their respective shapes, colors, sizes and other visible aspects.
3. Compare their textures, temperatures and other tactile aspects.
4. Compare their smells.
5. Eat them and compare their tastes, possibly determining which ones are tastier, more ripe, etc.
6. Decide there's no point in comparing apples and oranges and go away.

But if you made it a rule, it could.
As a rule, it falls under the "every rule has an exception" category, meaning even itself has exceptions. This could lead to the fact that no rule has an exception, contradicting itself outright.
Logic fail.
If "every rule has an exception" has exceptions, which it does, then how could that possibly mean that no rules have exceptions? It only means that some rules don't. What you (KK) say would only make sense if you made that the only rule in the universe.
Still, if something has an exception, I'm not very inclined to call it a rule.
Now, if you say "the only rule is that there are no rules" (which has been said before), there you have a rule that breaks itself.
Isn't that part of the point of paradoxes? The logic is... out there? :P
No, the point of paradoxes is having something that looks like a statement and yet it is neither true nor false.

Dear APF,
I am a fan of Roleplaying, and have recently wanted to get back into it with either one of my variations on my twinsoul kitsune character. However most of the RPs seem either hard to get into or too dark and edgy (I prefer a fairly light hearted style), and I don't feel I really have the creative knack to support an RP of my own. Suggestions?
Sincerly,
<insert punny name here>
I can sympathize. Most of the RPs are either meant to be far too serious cat for my tastes, or you look at them and wonder how anyone else will get packed in. Well, some you can see someone else getting packed in and think, "Wouldn't that just make things worse?"
Unfortunately, all I can think of is to look for a new RP and try to get in early. Tends to be easiest, though you will be less sure to get other good characters and it will be a bit too early to see if the GM is up to the task.
When trying to get into an established one you can probably get a feel by following IC threads and OOC threads. Some of those RPs will have far too much archive to plow through the whole thing. In those cases following the IC thread a while also has the advantage of waiting to see when a good time to join in will be.
Unfortunately, these all involve waiting and patience to find a good chance to jump in on it.

Elect Neni as a leader.
I would take to a two step process. First step, nuclear waste in the drinking water. This part needs no explanation. After this has been going on for a while, collect up people and start beating them with baseball bats until they do something amazing. These two things will leave you with an un-mundane population. Unfortunately phase two does not scale very well, since you will need the not mundane to conduct the beatings, but if you can keep the baseball bat gangs underground long enough the laws of growth will be able to overwhelm any military response. You shouldn't need to many of these amazing people to do that.
And alien encounters/sightings are always fun to schedule. But I would say wait until the midterm elections.

I'm going to have to go with no. SG-1, towards the end, got a chronic case of, 'should have ended, but then the scifi channel renewed the series at the last moment, leaving the writers scrambling to make a plot for a new series.' SG-1 is best if you top watching after Richard Dean Anderson is promoted to Brigadier General. Atlantis wasn't so bad in that regard, though watching Amanda Tapping try and still be the pretty young one was... pain... pure pain.

There. You know; have you considered the place which I'm not supposed to know of?
And you still don't know of.

I have considered erasing him from time now that I've discovered a means to influence continuities.
Influencing continuities is an amazing ability, though not one to be thrown around lightly. It tends to leave behind artifacts of times forgotten and burred, out of sync with the new reality. Especially if the desired results can be had by just stabbing the guy instead.

On cats: No, there is only one species of tiger, Panthera tigris, but it has many subspecies. The leopard, on the other hand, has quite a few species - the (spotted) leopard (Panthera pardus), the snow leopard (Uncia uncia or Panthera uncia, depending on the age of the reference document), the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), the Bornean clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) and the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis).
:tmyk
Who knew my dissertation on cats would prove so useful?
Were they just too lazy to come up with more original names for these different cats so they just stuck added adjectives to "leopard"?
You'll be surprised where knowledge of cats will get you.
Actually those leopards have a common body structure. For example the Snow leopard and Clouded leopard are very similar. They are leopards that evolved to suit the areas they lived in.

Even accepting those two laws as axioms, you should realize there's no connection between them and your proposed conclusion. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the concept of logical deduction and read the details of the works you're citing before jumping to conclusions. Science fiction is nice and all, but you must remember it's a form of art, not science (and that's probably be a good thing, reading stories is a lot more fun than reading scientific papers). Entertain yourself with those stories, but don't trust their inference methods, nor the alleged 'facts' they present.

My mother doesn't even have a basement, and I am a forumite. That makes it impossible for all forumites to be in the situation you describe. There's an example of logical deduction.
And here's its formulation in firtst-order logic.
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2313/assertionfailure.gif)
Assuming that the axioms are true (and I trust they are, but in the event that any foumite does have more than one mother it can still be fixed by replacing that axiom by the fact that I only have one), you can prove that the assertion is unsatisfiable.
I cropped the Cheetos part because it would only be adding an extra clause to an already unsatisfiable set.

Aside from going to a random name generator, which rarely produces good results, how does one come up with good, memorable a priori fantasy names?
I usually go with the first name that comes to my mind. Picture the charecter and the name just appears. I can't claim they're good and memorable, but it usually works.
That is a suitable method when a name does some to mind, but what about the times which one doesn't?

Is it an axiom of society that people will always chose to do the easier of two tasks, given the ability to cope with the immediate consequences of the choice?
No. I mean, you can make it an axiom if it suits your purposes, but it doesn't always work like that. If someone really wants to do something, s/he is likely to do it even if it implies an effort. Sometimes you can cope with the consequences of not doing something, but doing it is a lot more rewarding.
Hmm, so what happens when the consequences always seem far more tolerable than the work itself and as equally rewarding?

Then I believe most people wouldn't do it. There are all kinds of people, though, so someone still might. For example, there are those who enjoy making sacrifices because they believe it makes them better or more deserving of respect or something, and they don't understand why others do not appreciate all the trouble they go through.

It doesn't matter. In formal logic, the sentence is true when the conditions are true and the conclusion must follow, regardless of exactly what the statements are. The conditional "if" doesn't take into account the situation where the condition is impossible - if so, the statement is a vacuous truth (Compare: If Al Gore won the 2004 US presidential election, then the effects of global warming would be vastly reduced) and not a falsehood*. Notice in the example I could have replaced "the effects of global warming would be vastly reduced" with "balls of fire will rain from the sky" and the statement, from a perfectly logical point of view, would be true.
* In some not-so-classical philosophies, it is valid to assign an indeterminate truth value to a statement, but that leads to a whole slew of complex logical consequences also.
Do you understand why the connection is irrelevant?

I think I shouldn't post that late at night. :rolleyes
Darkdragon: what you said can be easily summarized as "False=>anything = true" which, in turn, only backs your claim if the left statement is false. You don't need so many words to explain a basic concept of propositional logic.
So, to answer your question, of course I understand. >_> And you're still missing a false statement in your original attempt at a trivially true implication.
In my experience, I usually need a whole paragraph to explain False => P = True. You seem to be an exception.
The whole point of "If P, then Q" is that it is possible to establish that the only way to falsify the statement is if P was true and Q does not follow (Hence the digression on False => P = True, because there is no way to falsify the statement). Taking the contrapositive, if the statement is true, then Q must follow P.
Somehow, we've agreed that "If the statement is true, P => Q". P = "this statement is true", which we've agreed on, and thus the statement boils down to "P, P => Q. Therefore, Q".
Sorry on not being clear in my original, and for being verbose. What suggestions can the APFs give to combat my unconventional writing style?
Following conventions isn't compulsory, but if you're having trouble communicating, you can try interacting with others more, and reading other people's posts.

What do you mean?
I'm talking about practising and learning by example. And also - and this is probably more important - getting to know your interlocutors in order to boost the communication success rate.
I also mean that it doesn't matter whether your writing style is common or uncommon, as long as you can get your message through and understand what others say to you.

Your question lacks one more verb in order to make sense.
No.
Because they either a) want to get rid of it or b) are getting something for themselves out of it. In other words, selfishness.
Never heard of Ovaltine before. I liked Toddy, but Nesquick (a.k.a. Nestle Quick) is also good.
You can do it, but doing it in public is considered bad manners. And it's dirty unless you do it with discardable paper or wash your hands right afterwards.

Good luck getting them all.
Sex and drugs don't make people happy.
Sex can cause pleasure, but if that's all you have, odds are you won't be feeling very happy.
Drugs can cause a temporary pleasure at the cost of ruining your life. So much for happiness.
Many things can make people happy. It varies per person, but usually being respected and cared for helps, along with doing things you enjoy, and being aware enough to allow yourself to enjoy them.

By 'improve the depressing morale" do you mean revert it or make it even more depressive? If the former, I recommend keeping in mind that better times will come, and remembering all the things you can still be grateful for, and also trying to find out what you can do to improve your own situation, and finding someone who can help you with that. If the latter, then shame on you, I'm not going to help you with that.

Less scrupulous individuals may desire to worsen a situation or escalate it to the next level. This could be for the potential for gain of some sort, to be spiteful, or for some type of bizarre social experiment. Without context, it would be difficult to postulate anything more than these vagaries.
More often making depression worse is about getting pills or sympathy. Usually both.

I blame quantum chemistry.
Being an outsider to the field of quantum chemistry, can you explain the connection?
The workings of the brain appears to be quantum chemistry.
Quantum or not, people who resort to chemicals are usually looking for an easy way out of their problems, not realizing that they won't be getting one at all.
However, there are certain cases when depression is caused by a chemical imbalance, so in those cases incorporating the missing chemicals can help. But more often than not, people just take pills because they believe they'll magically make them happy, and they fry their own brains in the process without ever achieving what they wanted.

What is the best way, aside from using stimulant-like products, to combat the cravings of sleep in a monotonous lecture, comfy chairs and substantial fatigue?
There are several ways. You can use whichever works best for you, or combine them.
1. Take sips of water whenever you begin to feel drowsy.
2. Make doodles to keep yourself active, but don't focus on them too much, you still need to listen to the lecture!
3. Take notes whenever you hear something that may be useful or sounds interesting.
4. Regularly ask yourself what the lecturer is currently talking about. If you can't answer immediately, focus until you can, and ask whatever you still don't get.
And then, once you're done with the lecture and whatever else you absolutely have to do on that day, go home and get some sleep. Whatever else needs to be done will be much easier to do after you've rested.
Ask everything, huh?

Or I could go for "Can I see if you have a smile on the inside?"
I might settle for something like "Would you mind if I balanced a ball on my nose? I was thinking about using one of yours...", if that's okay with you?
My only problem is that you still haven't done anything.
how many players should i kill in the RP i'm running, OSaS? Who? And why?
I don't like it when GMs plan to kill PCs in advance. If someone does something stupid and gets him/herself killed or runs a big risk and fails, that's fine. But killing them on a whim? I don't like it.
And I'm not saying this because I'm playing the game, that's my view of roleplaying in general. Yes, it's true that in real life you can walk down the street and be hit on the head by a dog falling from a 7th floor (it happened once, and there were 3 victims: the dog, the person who was hit, and a passer-by who died of a heart attack) but that's no fun when you're roleplaying.
How did the dog fall out of a 6th story window?
Oh, wait, I've just searched the web and it turns out it was a 13th floor! Source, in Spanish, sorry (http://www.foro-cualquiera.com/informes-frikis/44638-muertes-muy-poco-naturales.html).
It happened in Buenos Aires in 1988. I'll translate the story.
A family named Montoya, who lived on a 13th floor in the Caballito area, had gone on vacation leaving their little dog in their apartment. A kind neighbour took care of feeding it everyday. however, the dog had the bad idea of going out to the balcony, where it lost balance and fell. A 75-year-old woman received the canine impact and died immediately, gathering a group of people who, as usual in these cases, ran towards the site, among shouts and calls for help.
One of those people was 46-year-old Edith Solá, who crossed the avenue carelessly and was ran over by a bus. The woman died instantly, but since there's no two without three* (not counting the dog, of course) an old man, at the sight of the horrible spectacle, suffered a heart attack dying on his way to the hospital.
*That's a local proverb.

Yes, many threads are. As long as the posts are pertinent.

I hope so, but people need to sign up for that to happen.
Will I ever get over my addiction to Crime Dramas?
I think the real question is: do you want to? By the way, it's nice to see you here.
What's the best way to captivate and stimulate my muse so I may work on my writing more often?
Different things work for different people, but what most of those things have in common is the following: stop what you're doing and do something that can take your mind off work/school/everyday worries or help you look at things differently. Go out for a walk, take a shower, read a book, talk to the people with whom you've discussed your writings before, listen to music if that helps, think about your characters and try to learn new things about them, and if that's not enough have a talk with your muse and offer something s/he wants in exchange for inspiration. I do not recommend applying force, as you would end up with a very angry and uncooperative muse.
Can someone having some experience with roleplay give a few pointers from what to expect from a campaign so this roleplaying recruit isn't making shots in the dark?
That's a very vague question. It depends on many things, but mainly the kind of game you're playing, who the GM is and who the other players are.
Edit: but you can often expect the person who hires you to be the real enemy.
where have all the other apf's gone?

What is this? A questions only game? Speaking of which, why don't we have one of those? Would anyone like to post one?
I guess this means we're gonna have to go fox hunting to see where they are.
I might not be around very much in general, but since when were wolves allowed to answer questions as an APF?
Since I was inducted as a member of the AP team.
I must have missed the memo. Can (and will) you direct me to documentation of your induction to help solidify my rather haphazard recollections?
I used to be Daimien. Look at the first page uyou'll see me listed.
I'm just kind of confused because I'm not getting notification for this topic anymore. Sad fox! Anyways, a lot of the old AP team just disappeared. I'm not sure where Azzie has been. Sounds like a fox hunt!
Ah. Thank you for informing me, Lushin. Shades, do you need a hand in said fox hunt?
Doubtful, I haven't missed him yet.

A hot Zombie Lady or a hot mummy chick? :zombiekun2 :zombiekun2 :zombiekun2
Well there wouldn't be much but a skeleton underneath the wrapping and the zombie would be way too squishy and had some nasty bugs crawling around in her. Plus the constant smell of rotting flesh would be a turn off. Granted either would be necrophilia.
Your best bet is to grab a melon instead, if you needed a "date" that bad.
I don't think it seria be necrophilia, I mean necrophilia is when you do someone who is dead, but they are UNdead, so that do not count as necrophilia does it??
The are only half-dead.
Yes it is they still dead. It is dead tissue. It may be animated but it's still dead rooting tissue.

It depends on where you transfer to. If we leave it to chance, then the odds are very low. But if, say, you came to Buenos Aires, then the chance would be much higher (believe me, among the APFs, your chances of survival are best with me). ;)

I was assuming you hadn't found the conductor. If the conductor is not available, then an inspector can notch your ticket. At least that's how it works in some places.
Is there some mystical incantation which allows the vulgar folk to contact the almighty APFs when away from an internet connection?
Lay out Tea and biscuits and you may get Gabi. She'll only when you are sleeping, like the tooth fairy. If the tea is good enough she will wake you and ask why you summoned her. The others I'm not sure about. I know if you lay out an unput together gaming computer you may get one of the others.

what is the record for number of APF's to answer one question
Ω
Are there an uncountable number of APFs or am I misunderstanding the specific meaning of Ω?
Azlan was just messing with E. Ω is a number between 0 and 1. At least all the Ω's I've learnt about. There may be others. The real answer is π, or close to it.
is that π, where π <= 3?
isn't Ω the finale letter in the Greek alphabet?
also did anyone notice my previous post question was missing a (?) mark?
Since when is π <= 3?
A question mark a question make does not. The inverse may also apply.
What can change the nature of a man?
Life experiences, mostly. And sometimes drugs or brain damage.
Also, surgery.
I would call surgery a subset of brain damage.
Allow me to be more specific, then. I meant surgery to the other head that men think with.
Ouch did he have to go there?

Alternatively, you could go make a huge scene in it. Or take out a loan in its name. But those don't seem to be the correct forms of interest you want either.

Did I miss the APFs' answer(s) to my question?
We didn't miss your questions, we were just distracted with one of the great mysteries of our time. How can Ox Flavored Potato Chips possibly be vegetarian friendly. We have photo evidence that this is so. Answers will be forth coming soon. And then we will answer your question.
Have the APFs returned?
Why were there only two APFs in the video? Were the others busy? Who was the random other person who appeared in the middle?
Why am I here?
yes and no.
Cause they where the only two willing to be in the video. That was just some guy.
Cause you have no better place to be.
Am I in the right place?
Yes.
Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?
Extinct
Why has Cogidubnus been missing?
.. and where did Shades put the rum that's gone?
Life has happened.
Shades didn't put it anywhere. It was drank.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what does that make video and audio recordings?
As many thousands of words as frames in the video, plus the words included in the audio. Many of the words are likely to be repeated, though.
Why is there no cat cop movies?
Because you don't count "Going Bonkers" as a movie.
What should you do when "what is right" and "What makes you happy" are hopelessly at odds?
Flip a quarter and hope for th best.
are quarters really better then dice?
How is it that I continually miss such obvious answers?
Because "obvious" is subjective.
Also, it's rare for such a situation to happen, where what is right and what makes you happy are completely at odds. If you think about it, there's usually a way to be fairly satisfied without hurting anyone. If even then there is no fair solution, I would recommend reaching an agreement with the people involved.
How did I miss the chance to write down questions for the APFs to answer at AC?
Because you weren't at AC. You'll have to do something about that next time.

I'm going to answer a question that was not asked here. I get to do that because I'm All Purpose. :P
This year, at AC, I was asked for the first time what kind of fox my character is (as in what breed/variety). My immediate answer was "none in particular". I'm going to expand that answer here. She's a mixed breed fox. Not mixed as in "a quarter of this, three quarters of that", but mixed as in "it's impossible to trace her family tree far enough to find the points where pure breeds were involved". Also, the magic that runs in her family has set them further apart from the common varieties, introducing things like green hair and drop-shaped spots around the eyes.
Yes, I'm well aware that there are much weirder foxes out there and I'm not trying to compete with them, I'm just clarifying.
What proportion of the APFs are foxes?
All the originals so most of them.
Well, the crew of the crew is AP team, the APFs, of which there are three, are all foxes or sorts. Because foxes are bestest.
Well the APF are all foxes. Not all of the AP team is foxes, they are just the A team.
Ah, I love when a plan comes together.
I love it when an idea happens to work.
Can a sloth be all-purpose? Well, maybe not here, but still.
It's possible, but the sloth in question would have to wait until a slot opens and then pass the "interview".
So would that change the name of the thread?
Like, Ask the All Purpose fox and sloth, perhaps?
Nope. The sloth would just become part of the All Purpose Team. I'm a member and a wolf.

Yes one can. But then once they want to be all purpose enough for the situation they can be.
Also, no *Sets Cog on fire*.
Why fire?
*Sets Darkdragon on fire*
if fire doesn't hurt me how would the APF's dole out chastisement?
Liquid nitrogen. If that doesn't work they will find a way.
How did you know that fire is my preferred way of cleansing the soul?
We're All Purpose Foxes. It comes with the title.
And even if it didn't we would have figured it out by now.

Darkdragon: Dealing with unhelpful teammates is always a hard and annoying task, but if you two just can't work together it's best to dissolve the team and work separately. Tell your teammate first so that he doesn't feel betrayed. Then talk to your supervisor. *Sighs.* I'm afraid I've been through that experience more than once.
llearch: if you ask for permission to steal something then you're not really stealing it. Unless you ask the wrong person, but since we're APFs we're always the right people, so I'll have to say 'no'. :P

Is it wrong use violence against violence?
Is it wrong let an alien space parasite use your mind and body like a dish rag?
That will only cause more violence. Unless you annihilate everyone, then it'll all be quiet but everyone will have lost.
Why would you want to do that?
can you rebuild me to be a cubi? if yes.
what clan should i be from ?
Well, I could rebuild you. You will be what ever clan I want you to be. You won't like it.

Does shades do this kind of thing on purpose?
Has Shades been filling the "evil doctor" archtype on the forum since last I checked?
The thing with Shades is in his mind he's not doing anything wrong. It's everyone else that is acting crazy around him.
Since when did the label "evil" actually consider if the entity being labeled as such considers itself "evil"?
Hurting and killing others for no reasons other than selfish reasons are when evil can be considered. The main thing with the word "evil" is also a personal thing. What some consider as evil, some consider normal.
Some guy named Jacob Marley keeps showing up in my house (how the heck is he getting in, anyway!) and babbling something about me receiving three visitors. Should I be concerned?
Oh no he's just trying to sell you something.
What's a good (reasonable) way to get me to write without getting sidetracked by the myriad of distractions I have access to?
Kill off your internet, that's usually good for ten minutes, twenty if you're disciplined.
Here are some ideas which usually work for me:
1. Make a schedule, allowing some time to dedicate only to writing, and sometime for whatever other things you would like to do. The order and duration of each period should be whatever works best for you. If you're not sure, you can try different ways of organizing your day until you find the one that's best for you.
2. When you go to sleep, think about what you're going to write the following day. You may even take some notes if ideas begin to crop up. I keep a notepad next to my bed to that effect.
3. Go out for a walk, take a shower, do whatever helps you focus your mind without getting caught by external input. However, if you're stuck and can't produce anything, or feel an urgent need for an outside source of fiction, then take a book and read a bit (not the whole book at once, just a chapter or two to get your mental juices flowing). Then go back to writing.
4. Write an outline or a preliminary version on paper before you type it on your computer. The computer is an inexhaustible source of distractions, so it really helps if you already know most of what you're going to write by the time you face the screen.
Speaking of being disciplined... Justacritic, you're not a member of the AP-Team, so please wait here. *Locks justacritic in a cage and waits for someone to deliver his punishment.*
Okay then (sits down)
May I at least have tea and a biscuit while I'm here?

Perhaps the next rather important question I should consult the APFs is what is a good balance of accuracy, believability and detail such that my text would provide a good reference for my players when they're supposed to refer to it when they're writing backstories for a campaign? (I haven't done anything like this before, so if you have other advice which I should know, by all means, tell me.)
Do all the non-trivial zeroes in a Riemann zeta function have a real part of 1/2?
Darkdragon: it depends on the players, but I'd say: make it believable enough that the players can get in character, accurate enough to fit the rules of your world, and provide detail as needed.
Corg: if they are true zeroes, then their real part is zero. All other zeroes are fake.

Most of the books I've read where better than the movie.

No one.
Two: "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" and "The Enchanted April". The movie adaptation of "Como agua para chocolate" came close to being as good as the book, but it didn't have any of the cooking recipes (most of which I couldn't cook anyway because they were either ridiculously complicated or full of Mexican words I couldn't understand).

Are you saying
A statement is true if it is not false
A statement is false if it is not true
If so, you have defined neither true, false, correct, or incorrect
If I make the statements
I am lying
I lied when I said that
My reaction is that the statements are contradictory and that their veracity is indeterminate (and meaningless). I would also view these statements as an attempt at deception, and deception is sometimes viewed as lying.
If I give an answer that is correct but I don't know whether it is correct, am I still telling the truth
If I give an answer that is incorrect but I don't know whether or not it is incorrect, am I still lying
If I make a statement that I believe to be correct, but I am mistaken and actually making an incorrect statement, am I lying or telling the truth
If I make a statement that I believe to be incorrect, but I am mistaken and actually making a correct statement, am I lying or telling the truth
Different people would give different answers and different dictionaries might disagree
With regard to testifying legally under oath, the answers are defined
If I give an answer that is correct but don't know whether it is correct, I am lying regardless of whether the statement is correct (perjury)
If I give an answer that is incorrect but don't know whether is is incorrect, I am lying regardless of whether the statement is correct (perjury)
If I make a statement that I believe to be incorrect, I am lying regardless of whether the statement is correct (perjury)
If I make a statement that I believe to be correct, I am telling the truth regardless of whether the statement is correct
If I make the statements listed at the top (I am lying and I was lying when I said that) I am in contempt of court
If true is provably correct and false is provably incorrect, then there must be a third category that is neither provably correct nor incorrect
A friend of mine told me that he had a friend with a wooden leg named Fred. I wonder what the other leg was named.
My final statement is that any true and valid definition of true and false would by definition resolve the paradox.

That is the Liar's Paradox, and a paradox is, once more, not a statement. At least by the definition of 'statement' I learned at university. Other schools of thought may call that a statement, but in any case, it isn't false. And before you ask, it isn't true either.

When you answer that question, the question above will be answered.
If you're asking for a
true definition, you must know what
true means. Otherwise I could give you any definition and you wouldn't know whether it is true or not. In any case, there is more than one application of those terms, and they have different definitions for different purposes. Considering only one of them the
true definition would be assuming the others are not true, and it makes no sense to invalidate any of them as they are all in use.

We shall handle it by setting you on fire. Posting things that aren't statements and calling them statements is acceptable. But making a post without a question on the APF thread... that is a punishable offense.

Thanks... even if it was bitten by a mow. >.>
To answer your question, no, it doesn't.
But what if you have to kill 100 people to save 1 billion?
Or (going back to an isaac asimov novel) You have to stop a time-travel agency from stopping all wars from happening to make humanity be capable of defending it's self, thus possibly (re) killing trillions of people?
(I'm trying to start a debate)
OK, but the debate cannot go on for much longer because this is a questions thread,not a debate thread. If you want a full debate, feel free to start your own thread at the Outer Fortress.
I still insist that the end does not justify the means. I'm not going to discuss a specific scenario, let alone a fictional one which may never actually happen; but sometimes you're caught between two evils and can't find a way around it. Sometimes you end up doing something knowing that you will regret it. But that doesn't make it right. It only means you couldn't do any better with the tools and information you had. If you do not regret it, if you believe that what you did was the right thing, then, in my eyes, you are not justified.
Regret is a sword with way too many edges. That is all I am going to say about that.
Personally I would want to try every alternative before we resort to the few for the many scenario.
The main problem here is scalability. Killing one person isn't much of an issue, but once you start getting into the 100 or 1000 then there is the logistics issues of getting 1000 people, then ensuring that they are all killed, and then killing them appropriately, then making sure you didn't kill 999 or 1001 people, it is just an awful mess and best not contemplated.

I believe we will likely focus on our own solar system for a fair amount of time, first probe exploration, then Lunar and Mars based missions, and belt exploration and resource exploitation. During this time proposals and frameworks for extra-solar missions will be laid down, but I'm not sure that they will be realized in the next fifty years.

He crept people out. Vaguely.
That information is classified.
Whatever "self away" means, making something "organic" doesn't give it a soul. It may or may not make it "alive" depending on whether it has some sort of life cycle, but plants and fungi are alive and I don't believe they have souls. In any case, if by "self away" you mean "self aware", that alone would imply that it is alive, because without life there can be no awareness, there is only data and processes with no one to perceive them and interpret them.

It should be common knowledge. And it's been like that for a long time, and you don't even have to look at the rules to notice. (Though you should know the rules anyway, here and everywhere).
As a side-effect, no one can know for sure what his/her 8000th post is, unless s/he's somehow been keeping track of every single post s/he has made, which would be quite sad.

Yes... :tongue
Wouldn't the APF's interpret the question "Will you demonstrate how you can describe the answer to this question, and how you came to the answer?" as one which they can provide the answer to at an indefinite time in the future if they so agree, or not need to answer the core question if they so choose to answer in the negative?
How can I phrase the request "Demonstrate how you can describe the answer to this question, and how you came to the answer" in a question form such that the APFs (or a literal genie) can answer said question in a non-trivial manner?
How can you describe the answer to this question, and how did you come to the answer?
And in case that is your next question, all I did was read your post, notice the implied question in it and phrase it as such. And the answer itself is the explanation of how I came to it. Pretty, isn't it? ^_^
Who's coming to my next birthday party?

Why do people celebrate their relative completion of a revolution on a hunk of rock falling in space around a flaming fireball to an arbitrary time in which the body has been separated from the maternal unit?
Because many people feel the need to celebrate strange things. They just wanna feel special.
As a side note, Christian holidays tend to be based around original pagan celebrations, Christmas, for example was the celebration of Winter Equinox. It's theorized this is due to all the different Cultures turned to christianity Wanting to keep their old Celebrations.
I think it is nigh improbable for a new world war to break out, due to strong (and weak) nations depending on each other, and warring other nations would only bring the warring one's economy to a grinding halt. What do you think, and why?

Well, you violated the first rule of APF, so now you have to go into the pit to fight The Great Light. Good luck.
*Tosses Ignuus into a pit*
*climbs out of the pit*
Why was the great light so easy?
*Pushes back into pit*
Cause that was just a baby.

are you sure that it's not because surviving to certain ages used to be an achievement?
That depends on what age you're talking about. When a child celebrates his/her 2nd birthday, it's not that much of an achievement. It's still a celebration of life itself, though. And, for friends and family, a celebration of having that person in their lives.
Times have sure changed, has it? I remember back in the middle ages...
Changing is what times do best. Even if variations of the same things happen over and over again.
If i am my own worst enemy, is there any good way to defeat myself?
Machine guns tend to do the trick.
Or high buildings. >:3

They become outdated just like all the previous doomsday videos did. If they're good, they may still become classics, though.

No.
there is a quote that has stuck in my mind " Mothers grief, father's shame, soon to go from whence he came. " where did it come from?
Was the quote originally in English?

It originally came from the mother of all machines. See, there was a drunken fight involved, some very confused emotions and a lot of hurt feelings. They don' talk about it often.

No, it was in EBCDIC.

If you were a European monarch, how would you define / outline your succession laws?

Pineapple, of course.

If you were a European monarch, how would you define / outline your succession laws?
I would let each monarch decide who the successor to the throne will be. If they have not decided by the time they die, the throne goes to their next of kin. Everything that belongs to the country itself should remain that way, and personal belongings should be divided among the heirs as is the case with other families.

Baryonic matter, mostly.

I would consult the Doctor for advice.
A question to each individual APF:
What were some memorable questions you have tackled in your illustrious career as an APF, and why were they memorable?
