Just for fun I removed the extra concat on the stringbuilder and upped the cycles to 20 and 20,000.

Running it several times showed that the 20 cycle loop was fairly close, where the 20,000 loop was not even near close.

    0.0000089 vs. 0.0000092

and

    0.9846729 vs. 0.0006852

Edit: I also changed them both to add a fixed string, since I don't have enough memory for a 4 * 2^20,000 length string.

Anyone know if it is at least 8 bit now?

Certainly not, as the major LCD manufacturers have stopped producing 8-bit panels in portable sizes.

I was expecting something along the lines of "A Rorschach Cheat Sheet: Literary Allusions in Watchmen" (or something). Interesting nonetheless. Do optometrists get upset with the color-blindness tests that are online? People could do the same with them (memorize them for the test).

I have to agree with the "equally shitty to use" statement. One of the other problems is that it is hard to get the features you want in a phone that you want. It's along the lines of "GPS, Bluetooth and good Camera: pick any 2." Yu do, however, get a bunch of features that you never need. That, and they seem to have used their mailroom staff to design the UI. People always think they are so advanced. Maybe they were ten years ago, but now not so much.

They were "slides her pathologist had said were completely normal." So I assume the pathologist took the samples, and she took one home for research.

It may only be me, but I don't like scribd for some reason. Anyway, if you are like me and want the PDF link (and are too lazy to "Copy Link Location") here it is:

You can just click on the title to the left of the "scribd" link.

Anyone remember the name of the Japanese game show where the comedian was locked in a room for (n) and had to win his way free via magazine giveaways? I always thought it was fake/marketing, but an interesting.

It's like a study of this in action - insane but you can't look away.

The way I learned: my left hand makes an "L" when the thumb and forefinger are perpendicular.
