Your perception of what women should look like has been warped by MTV and the fashion industry, but that's ok. Its not your fault. If you end up with a lassie that wastes all your money on cosmetics because she is insecure because of what people say she must look like then you don't have a leg to stand on and will have to fork out more money because cosmetics cost a shit load!

On topic github is actually quite useful. I was going through some tutorials today. Might use this instead of subversion.

No twizzlers but we do have skittles and I'm glad the "taste the rainbow" ad campaign is over, that got played to death up/over here...

Oh and happy Bonfire/Guy Fawkes night people, its the only day of the year where your less likley to get arrested for conspiracy to cause an explosion or arson because everyone's doing it.

Feckin love it :)

I think you guys call them pop rocks. Space dust is what its called now and I've forgot what it used to be called. Its that power that crackles and pops when you put it on your tong.

This whole thing cracks me up seriously. Tell me how wire-tapping American citizens will stop "those terrorists" from attacking your country? At best it will catch domestic terrorists. But 11th of September was not carried out by someone from the inside now was it.

And your Timothy McVeigh types you guys have dont tend to talk on the phone much. And so what if I used the unabomber stereotype it seems to fit :P

Well compared to our stuff. Yours doesn't have as much sugar. When I was over in Canada they had a "British sweetie shop" and it basically sold what we had back home for double the price. I felt homesick so bought a double decker for $3-4 canadian.

The one sweet I do like that we used to get over here are Nerds, they don't sell them over here any more :( And our space dust is crap now also!

Aye but shes honestly too skinny and I dont see what the fuss is!

Aside from that I'm now working on osCommerce, helping out the people who develop that as its in my interest as I have convinced the company I work for open source will actually pay us back ten-fold verses what were using now..!

if you plan on using flash a lot then no.

I love how you guys call it candy and we call them all different things mainly sweeties or sweets yet most of your candy is good for the teeth :P Aye thats the best way to describe it :)

Or people are more cautious of peados. I know the rue for my little sister this year was "your not allowed to go up any closes" I laughed because when I was wee closes and tenement flats were the only houses their were....

Because it's the index file of the site.

So your basically telling me you want to password protect the /www directory? Any particular reason for that? Your best hope here is to just put what you need hidden in a directory below the /www directory and password protect that.

If what you were trying to achieve was possible it would defeat the purpose of a protected directory as if someone could then access one file in it, what would stop them from accessing others? If that makes sense.

Post this in the flash forum!

So why not just have that single file in a directory and password protect that?

Yeah time is money and that wasn't mentioned their! I honestly dont see how this would be any better than gamedev.net which is the site I've found to be a great resource over the years. Probably best to leave this for someone else, and I dont like the setup where your under the supervision of another person. I dont mind being part of a team but a team with equal authority.

You should be able to do something like that in Linux easily enough, I know in Windows setting up security policies can be a pain in the arse. But this page is a good starting point since I dont know exactly what your trying to do: http://wiki.eits.uga.edu/campuswebhelp/i ndex.php/Restrict_Access_to_Your_Pages

It cant be done. You will just have to move the files you want public outside of the protected directory.

The only thing I can think of would be to move down one level and restrict access to everything except what you want made publicly accessible.

Today I done nothing and enjoyed that fact since I've been working like a bastard for the past week! Only answered the door to a few weans as well actually I dont know how I avoided door duty this year lol. Got the SEGA Master System hooked up so my wee bro is playing some real games, the kind I was at that age. Ghostbusters and Alex the kid.

If any of you are in Newcastle on Friday feel free to come by the way. Most of my main mates are barred from the flat so I've settled for a few half mates and a girl I barely know who I want to get friendly with under the influence. I probably know most of you more than these people so your all more than welcome to come.

One day man, one day and we will argue over who gets to post the pic :P

Tell us a bit about what your doing. A screenshot is one thing but it would be good to know how you got to where you are now I suppose.

Most likely they just stopped users from posting and didn't block people based on IP address!

Its not what you can do but what you have access to. GNU Linux is open-source so you can take any part of it, change it and recompile it. Where as with windows they don't provide the source so fixing the OS or adding anything to it can only be done using Microsoft's APIs and theirs some things they just dont publish or want you to have access to!

See the great thing is I can come back with the research I done and provide all the source material I based it on as well as code and test cases where my initial ideas didn't work and the few that did. But bugger it. You would probably think I was making that up as well.

I honestly don't care but I will be happy to take the opportunity even if it is from something thats been blown out of all proportion to show off the work I've done. I spent the time hammering out the project and the late nights were brutal.

Enjoy a picture of the cover of my bounded copy that I printed off. I post information not bullshite. And its a shame my current job doesn't have me working with parallel code because as complex as it is, its the future no that dual/quad/multi core processors are becoming standard.

They are also the only political party which views Islam as the real threat that it is to Western freedoms.

Ok is that immigration or illegal immigration and what is it about their views on that do you think is right?

Islam has been in this country for years, tell me what exactly is it about Islam that threatens "western freedoms" or what freedom is it that they claim a religion is threatening in this country? If you are talking about the people the BNP wrongly believe represent Islam then name a few examples. If its the belief Islam would go against the woman rights movement etc then that's just rubbish to be honest.

Again point out what exactly it is and I will be happy to cut through their bullshit for you if you need me to :)

Jon did seem to give a shit because he kept answering. Though you can figure it was a matter of pride, and going against me with only pride doesn't ..work out.

A matter of pride? What are you talking about. You said I mentioned an algorithm because it wasn't relevant. I told you why I mentioned it.

The origional questio was "can someone reccomend a FAST sorting algorithm".

If I rewrote my post the way I was thinking then you dont have a leg to stand on. And thats what I'm going to do now. The reason I didn't as while I was about to write I figured that it wasnt neccesary here as you pointed out yourself.

Quicksort is quite a good general one to use. Your best bet would be to generate and extended dataset for testing with that will contain relevant data that you expect to see (if you can) and then run a few algorithms on that and time them.

At 10/24/09 02:41 PM, GustTheASGuy wrote: Okay, but I still don't see how A* comes in. It applies to graphs. If you use A* to compute some distance about the data in the arrays, and then use that distance to sort, it's not a heuristic but the actual order that you're sorting on.

Your thinking about something specific, think more abstractly, algorithms are basically just set ways to get things done. You said it applies to 'graphs' well your graph can contain anything. A tree or graph is also an abstract data structure. The best way to describe it would be using search to drive the sorting algorithm.

Say you wanted to break down a sorting task and spread it over a cluster or multi-core system. You could split the problem into chunks to be run on each processor. That would be impossible to do with and normal sorting algorithm but if you have written a program where a search algorithm moves through the data-set or graph or tree or whatever while the data is being sorted you can co-ordinate the whole thing so it actually works.

Something like this would be used in a pralell computing, a cluster for example. And I built one and was experimenting with adaptive scheduling for my honours project last year before I graduated.

Now obviously that is more than whats needed here, this is not about pride, you questioned why I mentioned something, basically being an arse about it when in actual fact you were wrong to do that.

Any questions?

As opposed to other concepts like balanced ordered trees, queues or hash tries that might have some such chance.

You pulled it out of your ass.

I must have a big arse then! But I have used A* to improve a sorting algorithm. Think of a linked list where each node contained arrays of arrays. Much better to figure out how relevant those arrays are by searching them to determine what position that node should take in the linked list than compare every array values in that node to every other array values in the other nodes.

Thats something I was doing not so long ago and thats why it stuck in my head.

I honestly think your trolling now! Grow up this isn't general. No need for cheeky posts.
