You would need a equal representation from all of the scocial layers thus representing a small part of America, then give them all under exactly the same conditions the test.
It's called a stratified sample.

Degenerate Triangle
(-1607.54, -2253.00, [m]224.63[/m]), (-1607.54, -2253.00, [m]224.63[/m]), (-1607.30, -2253.00, 225.31)
Two points of the triangle are at the same point in space. That, uh, makes a line, not a triangle.

It sounded like a displacement thing to me at the beginning, and if Madcow says he only got it when he smacked in a displacement, I'd guess that it's some dodgy, er, displacing.

Even though there's an extended aura of ignorance among the population, most people know where they belong. They perform their job well and they know they can get fired if they dont.
Doesn't society depend somewhat on 'good' people taking an interest outside of themselves?

- What is the central black part of the eye called?

...no answer.
Good god.

To be fair, I can't remember the specific term for the butterfly one, just "metamorphosis". That's an Escher piccie, though.

Also:
It is generally assumed he was Genoese. However there is no solid evidence of this and historians claim he could have been born in other places, from the Crown of Arag?n to the Kingdoms of Galicia or Portugal, or in the Greek island of Chios, among others.

To save me leafing through dozens of pages the next time I revise the to-do list, I've compounded the old thread into a new, bigger, to-do list, here. If you want to see what's going on, get on IRC.

General
  • Different themes
  • Customisable front page (selection of sections to show, etc., and perhaps count adjustment for different resolutions)
  • Statistics page
  • Adjustable onliners size, ShoutBOX size, etc.
  • "Allow remember across PCs" check for "invalid cookie".
Resources
  • Project section for advertisement, recruitment, etc.
  • Inline tutorial revisions by authors and moderators, perhaps with submission of drafts as well as suggestions
  • Members tips, moderated before posting, can be appended to tutorials
  • Multiple page tutorials
  • User-submitted tools!
Community
  • A Journal Entries page, showing all entries in descending order of date or what-have-you
  • Comments to journal posts
  • Extended profiles (lanaguages spoken, XFire addy, etc.)
  • Javascript bbcode helper
  • URL checking for maps in the MV (checking that the headers for the path return 200)
  • Good search stuff for maps, fora, others
  • Full navigation ranges for MV, etc.
  • Mass PM handling
  • Proper quoting
  • Specific bbcode ([map]id[/map], etc.) and quickcode such as q[quote body]
  • Timezone converter by member
  • Ranks or similar
  • Spam protection
  • Some colour code control
  • Better MV icons
  • PNG transparency avatars
  • Read receipts for PMs
  • Birthdays
  • Proper special threads for competitions (custom thread icons denotable by moderators)
  • PM block list
  • Computer spec's!
  • Server query stuff
  • "First language" field
  • TXT thread-save dilly
Administration
  • Detailed access control for moderation, allowing, for example, banning a particular user from shouting, commenting on maps, etc.; perhaps using groups too
  • Store registration IP
  • Togglable e-mail registration thing for tough times
  • PM to users when their threads are moved, etc.

I disagree. Batch compilers make it easier to tweak compiling, offer a little performance boost, and let you see what's going on.

ZHLT are absolutely ubiquitous. The only difference is how they are run. If you compile "in Hammer", all that happens is Hammer runs Zoner's tools for you. If you use a batch compiler, then that will run ZHLT for you. Zoner's tools are the ones doing the actual compiling.

It doesn't lock up, it's just working hard. Be patient, and it'll eventually finish. If you'd rather know how stuff's progressing, switch to a batch compiler. Check our Compiling tutorial for details, and search the forums.
