The Principle

[Ender EnZed]

It may well be BULLSHIT, but a BIG question rears its ugly head: Why would these people of high standing in the physics community be interviewed offering such "insane" theories?

Why indeed? Why would respected scientists air their new, groundbreaking theories with massive implications for mankind in the form of a dramatised feature film made by a totally unqualified man known to have long standing views in contradiction with the scientific community?




Answer: They didn't say anything "insane" or wildly controversial to the interviewer, the footage was edited to distort the meaning of what they said.

It's all geek to me

The geeks shall inherit the Earth.

I had the return type as bool, don't come complaining to me cos your one returned a string...

some say we may be getting off topic, but a geocentrist would say as long as it is still about me, we're absolutely on topic right?

Speaking of unfortunate strings...

Yeah, but you used a get function to return it which was 6 characters more than required and the answer that was going to be returned was a string. At least you could test and convert the string to see if it "contained" boolean value.

... I'm not a geocentrist, I reckon the movie will have more than the geocentrist position in it (contrary to populist belief), but I'm used to people making up their own KB version so didn't feel the need to point it out earlier.

bwaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa... can't have been a string theorist

that wasn't sarcasm was it.

Or the footage will be placed in context re: as deniers discussing the "inexplicable" and an explanation being put forwards. Dunno, but it looks interesting to me.

Get function is for compatibility, all the checks are in it, as opposed to parameters which can go awry if looked up when they shouldn't be. Code autocomplete and highlighting are wonderful things to prevent type mismatches and overshortening of function calls

I don't, it'll have other shit but will only be used to validate the geocentrist positions, like all those guys who have been misquoted.

Some strings should stay raveled.

Strings and booleans are different types across languages? What parameters, neither of us used any. Gotta say though, intellisense and keyword colouring is great for readability and you can make some exceptionally gaudy colour schemes. Tis when my colour deafness comes into it's own .

I misquoted no one. You'd be best staying with strings if your logic is that screwy.

They could stick a bead on the end and shove it up their a....... well, it'd prevent string fallout.

Mostly, sometimes not though, like xml, though not a programming language persay, still a language; which is really handy for changing/reading values out of the program you're working on.

Unless you made the vid, I didn't say you did.

XML, pft, it's a pseudo-database at best and all but died when XSL(T) left the building. However I was proficient with it in the late 90's and the two worked really well together. Aye, it's a config file now. If you open up an SSIS package in IE you'll note that the entire thing is XML. Quite cool for ignoring the eccentricities of the MS IDE and building much smarter tools . Alas, very few places can afford the R&D in order to turn their square wheels into round wheels, heh.

And I should bloody well hope not too.

We're all spinning around something.

I'd happily squeeze into those hot pants. I believe she's lookin too.

Everyone knows that America is at the centre of the universe! Bwahahahahahaha!

Even aliens know it, that's why they always land in and attack America!
