Hello, First off I want to start my post off with my expression of praise of such a wonderful website you guys have here! I hope to remain here and evolve with the community. Now with that out of the way I'll go on with my post.
I have a 3D app coded from scratch by myself using the OpenGL and SDL libraries. I already made a small math library with "complete" vector, matrices and quaternion classes all for learning purposes. Next I'll make a camera class using a quaternion[and a matrix]. I'm glad to say that my camera works fine.
"Gee Jorge. What is your camera looking at?" "Oh baby my new quaternion camera is looking at a sphere being brought down by Fg." "Gee Jorge what is Fg?" "Oh baby it is the force of gravity, which is a vector, and it's value is -9.81 s/m\\^2." "Ooh baby your intelligence turns me on!!"
Eh...Let me get to the point. I have a red sphere, in this app, at rest at a high altitude. But its position will shift due to Fg[vector(0.0, -9.81, 0.0f)]. There is also a plane laying on y=0.0. When the sphere finally collides with the plane then the plane's normal force should cancel out the force of gravity. Therefore the ball is at rest on the plane.
What I'm tyring to accomplish is realistic bouncing in one dimension. When the sphere hits the plane some of its momentum should be lost. According to one of Sir Newton's laws momentum should be constant but only changes through force.
Some evidence
I guess some of that momentum is lost to energy or in exchange for[either one]. Well anyways while the sphere is at rest on the plane I need something to push it up because the normal force isn't enough(it cancels out because the normal force + Fg produces a null or empty netForce).
What I did was add ( 0.0, (ball.velo.y*ball.mass)/-2.0, 0.0 ) to the netForce....which didn't do anything. The division represents how much of it is lost. So in my case half of the momentum is lost. I divided it by negative two because I wanted the ball to go the opposite direction, away from the plane, which is up. And because Fg is there the ball should go back down creating "the bounce".
Any suggestions?
i was about to write a lengthy explanation but i'm way to tired to focus and frankly my physics english sucks. i'll take some time tomorrow...

Well I'm still looking forward to your lengthy reply despite the fact that I've resolved my own conflict with :
if( collided )
velocity = -velocity * 0.8f;
// -velocity * energy_lost
It works but doesn't make any sense to me so I guess I'll read up more on physics....
the general formula for a centered, elastic, collision looks like this :
vBall2 = ((mBall - m2) * vBall1 + 2 * m2 * v2) / (mBall + m2)
where mBall is the balls mass and vBall1 the velocity before the impact and m2 and v2 are the mass and velcoity of the plane repspectively. now you can add several asumptions like the mass of the ball being proportionally very small to the mass of the earth. also if you let the ball bounce on earth you can assume earths velcoity to be 0. of course imediatly after the impace gravitation will pull down the ball again.
additionally you can introduce friction of air with :
Fw = cw * (p / 2) A v\\^2
where p is the density of air = 1,29 kg/m\\^3 cw is 0,13 for spheres and A = r\\^2 pi v is the balls velocity the ball is then slowed down by Fw = m * aw aw = m * Fw m/s\\^2
depending on the elasticity of the ball a lot of energy is converted into other forms. to actually find out how much energy that is is difficult because that would totally depend how the material of the sphere deforms on inpact. imo the best option is to introduce an elasticty factor that regulates this (as you did if i understand you correctly)
Well I'm still looking forward to your lengthy reply despite the fact that I've resolved my own conflict with :
if( collided )
velocity = -velocity * 0.8f;
// -velocity * energy_lost
It works but doesn't make any sense to me so I guess I'll read up more on physics....
if(sphere is near plane) { vn = plane_normal `dot` velocity if(vn \< 0) velocity -= plane_normal * (1 + e) * vn }
0 \<= e \<= 1, 1 - absolute elastic Amount of energy lost is \~ (1-e)\\^2

September 4, 2002
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- A fat sea lion is lolling in the surf just below Point Mugu, the naval air station that guards the southern California coast.
The creature on which ancient sailors based their fanciful legends of mermaids and mermen, this particular specimen seems oblivious to the humans on shore and the brace of Navy F-16 fighters overhead.
Up on the beach not 20 yards away, a gaggle of motoring writers has gathered to consider the merits of the all-new 2003 Subaru Baja -- half-car, half-truck -- on its maiden voyage here in the Land of Active Lifestyles The conscientious Subaru PR department has organized a full afternoon of activities -- rock climbing, surfing, karting and the like -- that dovetail with the vehicle's launch theme, "Go outside and play."
Being a lifelong Midwesterner with a mild aversion to sun and sea lions, I choose instead to go inside and write. But not before piloting the Baja over a twisty and challenging route through the Santa Monica Mountains, from the dusty Paramount Ranch of Hollywood horse-opera fame and down winding Mulholland Avenue to the scenic Pacific Coast Highway.
The '03 Baja, a new addition to Subaru of America's formidable lineup of all-wheel-drive vehicles, is impressive. Built on the same chassis as the mid-size Legacy/Outback series, the Baja began life as the ST-X concept at the 2000 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The production model hews close to the concept, right down to the heavy-handed application of gray plastic cladding on the body sides. The overabundance of cladding that looked so right when the Outback model was first launched back in 1996 now gives the Baja an anachronistic appearance that may be passe before the first vehicles reach customers' hands in early September.
Still, one can truthfully say there is nothing else quite like it on the market.
In one sense, the Baja is a four-door sedan that just happens to have a small pickup bed grafted to the rear. Think of it as a latter-day successor to the former Chevrolet El Camino "sedan delivery vehicle," updated with all-wheel drive and an extra pair of doors for greater utility. Any resemblance to the old Subaru Brat from the Seventies is purely intentional.
The Baja's mini-bed is only 41.5 inches long, so its functionality is limited to toting surfboards and mountain bikes (if you live on the West Coast), or peat moss and flea-market artifacts. An optional tubular-aluminum bed extender helps accommodate larger items, while a small pass-through door behind the fold-flat rear seats permits the user to slide a pair of skis part way into the cabin.
Nevertheless, the exterior design is eye-catching and, except for the cladding, quite appealing. Hopefully, Subaru will see fit to offer a bare-metal variant in the not-too-distant future.
In the meantime, the Baja looks considerably more car-like than so-called sport-utility trucks like the Ford Explorer SportTrac that actually are built on truck chassis. Needless to say, ride comfort is much better in the Baja and, thanks to its passenger-car underpinnings, handling is more precise and controlled.
If there is a criticism on the mechanical side, it's that the twin-cam 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, rated at 165 horsepower, tends to run out of steam when toting three adults up a steep incline. That's not a problem in table-flat Michigan, but residents of hilly terrain may find this to be an issue. Thankfully, Subaru is planning to offer its fine 3.0-liter six-cylinder as an option, but not until the 2004 model year.
Besides the powertrain, which includes a choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions, the Baja shares most major chassis components with the Legacy and Outback. Standard features include four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and 16-inch Bridgestone Potenza tires.
Current Subaru owners will recognize the Baja's cabin as familiar territory. The vehicle is trimmed in attractive silver-metallic plastic and leather, with perforated-leather seats. Power windows, locks and mirrors are standard, as are a power driver's seat, power moonroof, air conditioning and an AM-FM stereo with CD player. The Baja will start at just under $24,000, or several thousand dollars more than an Outback sedan.
Competitors? Tough to say, although customers shopping in the $24,000-$26,000 price range have an awful lot of alternatives from which to choose these days, including a wide selection of full-size four-door domestic pickups with all-wheel drive and loads of equipment.
Still, the company's sales goals are modest enough: 2,000 units a month, or 24,000 a year, once production is ramped up in the fourth quarter.
Fortunately, Subaru isn't likely to face any direct challengers, in terms of car-based sport-utility trucks, until after 2005, when similar models are rumored from Honda and Saturn, among others.
Until then, Subaru has an opportunity to stake out the territory and consolidate its position -- but only if it peels away some of that garish plastic, provides at least two more cylinders for those who want more power and keeps the sticker price affordable enough to attract younger buyers who think El Camino is a street in southern California and the Brat is a sea lion gone bad.

BANGALORE, August 19: Sir Richard Hadlee believes cricket in New Zealand will financially gain if countries will tour Down Under for a series regularly.
The former New Zealand all-rounder, who was in the city for the Karnataka State Cricket Association Platinum Jubilee Celebration said, "We just don't have the money.
"If countries aren't going to come to our country and play what is required, then it's reducing the sponsorship dollars and money from TV rights that come into New Zealand cricket," remarked Hadlee.
Since last few years the financial constraint of New Zealand Cricket has weakened. Recently, former Black Caps batsman Matthew Sinclair announced his retirement and was also reported he would apply for unemployment benefits scheme.
"The problem with Sinclair was that he didn't have a national contract. He had a provincial contract and unless you are a top-rated player in the 12 or 13 that they have on that list, then the dollars you get lessen accordingly.
"He felt that for the six months commitment that he put into cricket, the payment was not sufficient for his family."
Hadlee believes stringent rules and strict action must be taken against players who are involved in the match-fixing. "The young players that are being brought into it are seeing an opportunity to pick up some quick, cheap money to bowl a wide or noball.
"Penalties must be severe. The most severe penalty that can happen even more than going to jail is to have your record erased from the game. Then players are going to think twice before they get involved in something like this.
Hadlee is highly concerned with New Zealand's downfall in Test cricket. "We perform well in ODI, T20 cricket. Our Test cricket is of great concern now.
"What doesn't help us is when we travel overseas to play Test series. We invariably get a one-off Test match or two-match Test series.
"When we play in New Zealand we can generally schedule three Test matches. But India wants to play just two this time and that's disappointing," added the 62-year-old former New Zealand Test cricketer.
India's tour to New Zealand in February-March next year is likely to be trimmed. With the Asia Cup to begin end of February, the Dhoni-led side were supposed to play Tests, five one-dayers and one T20 in February and March next year.
India are concentrating more on the Asia Cup, which begins in late February. The BCCI wants the series to be trimmed to two Tests, two ODIs and two T20 Internationals, reported CMC.

Newlywed Paralyzed in Accident Gets an Amazing Wedding Gift from Toyota
We love a happy ending – that's why we had to tell you about the story of Rachelle Friedman, a 23-year-old who was paralyzed as a result of a tragic accident during her bachelorette party in May 2010.
After the accident, she and her fiancé Chris Chapman were busy planning their wedding with the help of a BraunAbility Sienna Rampvan that was loaned to them by the company and local mobility dealer Van Products Inc. Little did the couple know that BruanAbility and Toyota USA had a wedding gift planned for them that wasn't on their registry – a brand new 2011 Toyota Sienna with a BraunAbility Rampvan XT conversion.
"Rachelle's resolve and strength are truly inspirational," said Nick Gutwein, President of Braun. "We were so moved by her story that we wanted to help her not only while she planned for her wedding, but also as she moves forward in her married life."
Now that the wedding is over, this new BraunAbility Rampvan XT conversion allows Rachelle to get to quad-rugby practices and tournaments, as well as therapy appointments. Before she had use of this van, her mother had been carrying her in and out of her SUV.
"The van's made all the difference in the world," said Rachelle. "Not only has it saved my mom's back, it's just made it so much easier to get out and do things. I've missed this level of comfort, convenience and independence. Next up…learning to drive on my own!"

It's Wednesday morning and I haven't even had my coffee yet and the second thought in my mind is my Plone filled day ahead (the first thought being is there anymore Frosted Flakes left and did the kids eat it all).
There are days, like today, where I wonder to myself why, after nearly 9 years, I'm still building Plone sites. Plone is still hard, but it is getting easier, or so I'm told. Am I a masochist maybe? Is the strength and pull of the Plone community so strong that even though my common sense says run, run far away and never look back, I still sit here day after day creating Plone themes? Maybe it IS Stockholm syndrome after all. I've been at the mercy of Plone's multiple changes and increasingly more difficult theming story for a long time. Granted, I stay on top of "what is coming next" and know much of this 'pain' will go away with Plone 4. Or will it?
After all I am a designer, not a programmer. And yet I spend 99% of my time in code. Don't even get me started on viewlet modification! Plone has so many awesome features, my clients love Plone because I love Plone. My clients see through my eyes, voice and actions that Plone is the right tool for their project. It is, really. Why does it hurt so much to make it pretty! Why do I love that it hurts so much? What am I going to do with myself when Plone has reached the point where theming is easy!? I can't bear the thought.
I have tried to leave, to pull myself away from this project that has such a hold on me. It's not easy. Plone is just so charming when you do what it tells you to do. Cross Plone and you'll see, it can throw a nasty little traceback at you without giving it a second thought. Oh Plone what shall I do, I know I should leave you but I can't. Plone you make me crazy, but you know what, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Your build turned out real nice. Waiting to her what it well do at longer ranges now.
That won't happen for some time
.... Need to find the pet load for this rifle...
I need to send the scope back to the Leupold custom shop... The scope & reticle was set up by the Leupold custom shop for a 40 grain .223 Remington @ 3400 FPS... I ended up with the scope because, the original owner flaked on paying and picking it up from my local gunshop... Scope is new but they couldn't sell it because of the custom configuration.. It will require a trip back to Leupold and me to spend some money, but its hard to complain about acquiring a scope for $600, that Leupold says would cost $1400 to build...
The hold over points and markings on the elevation dial are off because of the load it was setup for.. I can do the math, but with it properly configured it will be much easier to live with at longer distances...

text: The new Newcastle manager sent scouts out around the world looking for a new centre forward to replace his old and decrepid players hoping to win the FA Cup. One of the scouts informs him of a Young Iraqi player who he thinks will turn out to be a true superstar. The Gaffer flies to Baghdad to watch him and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over. Two weeks later Newcastle are 3-0 down to Liverpool with only 20 minutes left. The manager gives the young Iraqi lad the nod and on he goes. The lad is a sensation, scores 4 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Newcastle. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star. When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first game in the FA Cup. Hello mum, guess what?" he says. "I played for 20 minutes today, we were 3 goals down but I scored 4 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me." "Wonderful," says his mum, "Let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were ambushed and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters, while you were having a great time." The young lad is very upset, "What can I say mum, but I'm so sorry." "Sorry?!" says his mum, "You're f**king sorry???? It's your fault we moved to Newcastle in the first place!"

THREE years ago was the time to bail out. Brian Cashman knew it. He saw the perfect storm forming against the Yankees: An aging roster, a bereft farm system and a widespread economic health in the sport that allowed just about any team to obtain or retain stars, leaving fewer high-caliber players for the Yanks to cherry pick to cover for that aging roster and bereft farm system.
He expressed this vision to his superiors, warning that the Yanks were nearing a cliff and if their business practices did not change drastically that the plunge would be for a decade not for a year or two.
George Steinbrenner bought into his vision and – perhaps in the last meaningful decision made as the true Boss of the organization – implored Cashman to stay with the full authority to run baseball operations in such a way as to avoid the long-term plummet. Cashman was prepared to leave, his reputation still stellar even after a 2005 first-round knockout against the Angels. Bill Parcells, Pat Riley and Pat Gillick had seen just this kind of nearing cliff at moments during their brilliant careers and jumped off before sinking results could harm their reps. Cashman, though, felt allegiance to his Boss.
"I stayed three years ago because George Steinbrenner asked me to stay," Cashman said.
But the new three-year contract he agreed to this week had far less to do with loyalty. It is personal now. The Yankees did not make the playoffs for the first time since 1993, and as blame is issued Cashman is receiving a lot of buffoon-in-chief reviews. He has responded by fighting, mainly for his reputation.
Cashman has been with the Yanks since 1986 and in the high-profile role of general manager since 1998. Yet he publicly has projected a tamed ego, a minimum of concern about media/fan criticism and a restrained competitive streak. You would hear stories about Cashman going face to face in fury in arguments with Steinbrenner as testaments to his willingness to battle for his vision. But that was behind closed doors.
Yesterday, however, Cashman revealed a healthy ego, skin quite thinner than previously expressed and a defiant competitive streak by saying, "If I left I wasn't going to like the story that was going to be written because it wasn't going to be an accurate depiction of my time here. . . . I'm not going to let an inaccurate story stick. The only way to change that is to change the story. I am not saying it's going to be changed overnight, but I am saying it's not going to be re-written inaccurately."
Cashman senses his entire time with the Yankees is now indelibly linked to Carl Pavano, Kei Igawa, refusing to obtain Johan Santana and missing the 2008 playoffs. He thinks that totally dismisses a valuable role in the dynasty formation as a minor league executive during the Jeter/Pettitte/Rivera incubation, and as assistant GM with a yes-no vote on critical matters such as Roberto Kelly for Paul O'Neill. Mainly, he thinks too many are judging his entire tenure on a few high-profile farm regressions in 2008 and missing these playoffs.
Prospects need time to gestate, Cashman argues. Pettitte and Rivera both signed in 1990, for example, and did not become major league factors for half a decade. Cashman's revival effort is just three years old. This is why he agreed to another three, he says, because he has not wavered an iota that his plan will create the bedrock for another dynasty. He knew pain was coming when he said "yes" to Steinbrenner three years ago, when his common sense told him it was time to bail. And that competitive streak has convinced him to stay and fight on.
He has three years now to prove he actually can get the young pitching right, finish the transition from an aging core to a young, athletic one and reap the farm harvest. All that is at stake is his legacy.
"There is unfinished business here," he said. "And I am here to finish that business."

Tebowmania on its way to Central New York
Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:15:26 GMT —
One of the hottest names in sports will be coming to Central New York, unless a technicality derails the trade.
Wednesday afternoon, the NY Jets announced a trade that will bring quarterback Tim Tebow to New York. The Jets will be in Cortland this summer for training camp.
The Jets passed on training camp in Cortland before last season because of the lockout. However, we spoke with Cortland's Chamber of Commerce shortly after the trade announcement. Chamber leaders say the team will be back this summer.
The training camp helps bring money and fans to the city of Cortland. During the summer of 2010 around 41,000 people visited the SUNY Cortland campus, bringing in nearly $6 million to the local economy.
Tebow has been playing for the Denver Broncos, but the Broncos recently picked up star Peyton Manning from the Indianapolis Colts. Since the trade was announced, it has hit a snag. The Jets would have to pay extra money to fulfill Tebow's contract with the Broncos. We will keep you updated on the status of the trade.
Tebow has made headlines for his strong religious beliefs, and the "Tebowing" fad, which involves getting down on one knee and taking a picture of yourself.

DEVON County Council has received almost £7 million to help repair the damage caused to the county's roads by the severe winter weather.
The additional funding from the Department for Transport is a share of £183.5 million of extra funding made available by the government to help with much needed road repairs following the wettest winter on record.
Over the winter, there has been significant damage to the surfaces of many roads in Devon and the number of potholes reported has increased from 2,000 in December, to 7,500 in January, and a further 7,900 in February. Devon currently has 34 pothole teams repairing defects across the county, which is almost triple the usual number. They are currently repairing around 500 potholes a day.
The £6,985,437 received by Devon will help to repair the damage to road surfaces, including pothole repairs on the county's 8,000 miles of roads, which is the biggest highway network of any authority in the country.
Councillor Stuart Hughes, Devon County Council Cabinet Member for Highway Management and Flood Prevention, said: "To receive almost £7 million will help us in our efforts to repair some of the damage to Devon's roads, which has developed due to severe storm damage and abnormally prolonged wet weather.
"The winter storms have hit our roads extremely hard and it has highlighted how fragile the network is.
"We have been calling for additional support after such a severe winter and while we have sustained more than £7 million of damage, this money will go some way towards covering the cost of some of the damage.
"We are already getting on with the job in hand, but even with this extra funding it will still take time to carry out the sheer volume of work that is needed. Government also announced a £200 million fund for potholes as part of the budget and Devon will be bidding for its share of this extra money."
Devon has a highway maintenance backlog of £767 million, which is the amount that would be needed to bring Devon's roads up to scratch.
The county needs around £64 million of investment a year to maintain the current condition of Devon's road network.
The County Council is also still dealing with the legacy of the remaining repairs from the £18 million of damage caused by the storms of 2012/13, which are being funded from capital allocations over the next few years.

Former "Fashion Police" host Kelly Osbourne stopped by "The View" on Tuesday when the topic of Donald Trump's recent comments about Latinos came up.
Osbourne tried to defend Latinos from the Republican presidential nominee's comments, but wound up seriously offending many of them instead with an insensitive remark about the role immigrants play in this country.
"If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?" asked Osbourne.
"The View" co-host Rosie Perez jumped in and quickly stated, "There's more jobs than that in the country for Latinos, and Latinos are not the only people who clean toilets."
Twitter wasted no time creating an appropriate hashtag for the conversation surrounding the controversial remark, #QueridaKellyOsbourne (Dear Kelly Osbourne). Plenty of people voiced their opinions on the matter and shared their personal stories of struggle growing up as immigrants in the U.S.
Osbourne has since apologized for the remark on her Facebook page, admitting that she "whole-hearted fucked up today." But based on the comments pouring in to the post, those she offended aren't accepting that apology quite yet.

March 6 – BETHANY, W. Va. – Seeking their first Eastern College Athletic Conference Southwest Championship crown, the Bison men's basketball program will play host to the ECAC Regional semifinals on Saturday, March 8. The Bison will open play against Juniata with Hood and Waynesburg squaring off in the other semifinal matchup.
The Bison, who are making their tenth-straight appearance in post-season play, captured the regular season championship in the Presidents' Athletic Conference finishing the campaign with a 21-4 record, including a 14-2 mark in conference. Bethany then came up short in the PAC playoffs, dropping a 60-58 decision to Geneva.
Over the course of the regular season, Bethany put together two winning streaks of at least eight games. They opened the 2013-14 campaign on a nine-game streak, and closed the regular season winning their final eight games.
Bethany finished the campaign as one of the most efficient defenses in the PAC, ranking first in opponents' points per game, giving up just 65.6 points per contest. The Bison hung their hats on their ability to create turnovers, ranking first in all of Division-III in steals per contest (12.3).
It wasn't just defense for the Bison, however, as four different players averaged double figures over the course of the season, leading Bethany to ranking third in the conference in points per game (76.2). The Green & White also ranked second in scoring margin (+10.7) and led the conference in turnover margin (+5.77) as well as offensive rebounds per game (12.9).
Individually, the Bison were led by Delonte' Joyce (Annapolis, Md./Annapolis) and Leslie Addy (Columbia, Md./St. Vincent Pallotti), who both earned First-Team All-PAC honors. Joyce ranks first on the team points per game (16.8) and fourth in all of Division-III in steals per contest (3.2). He scored in double figures in 24 of his 26 games this season, including eclipsing the 30-point mark on two different occasions.
Addy played solid for the Bison all season, ranking sixth in the conference in rebounds per game (6.4) while also scoring 11.7 points. He also ranked in the top ten in the conference in steals per game (1.7), three point percentage (.430) and three-point field goals made (52).
Bethany, who earned the #1 seed in the ECAC tournament, will now host #4 Juniata who defeated #5 Alfred University 92-76 on Wednesday. The Eagles were led in the contest by a 32-point effort from senior Brian Scholly. Kevin Stapleton added 15 points in the game, while Lucas Mellott finished with 10.
The Eagles come into the contest with a 16-10 record, having posted a 15-10 mark (6-8 in Landmark Conference play) during the regular season. Juniata is led by a cast of seven seniors, including guard Jeremy Hays, who ranked sixth in the Landmark Conference in points per game (15.3). Hays, also a solid distributor, ranked second in the conference in assists per game (5.4) and led the Landmark in assist/turnover ratio (+2.5).
The Bison and Eagles will square off in the first semifinal which will be held at 5:30 p.m. #2 Hood and #3 Waynesburg will then meet in the other semifinal match held at 7:30 p.m. The winners of the two contests will meet in the ECAC Southwest Regional Championships on Sunday, March 9, at 2 p.m.

i'm sure there must be a function in one of the standard headers, i'm just not sure what it is
What is "something"? What type of data? I assume you mean a string. Use isdigit in a loop. Use sscanf. Use...
well i have the following integers: k, t and e
i want to see if (1 + k*t)/e gives an integer value
All integer maths yield other integers.
no it does not
both 2 and 3 are integers
however 3/2 is not an integer
it's 1.5
No it isn't.You lose.Code:
int main( void )
int a = 2, b = 3, c = b / a;
printf( "c is %d\n", c );
return 0;
All integer math produce integers in C.
Keep in mind (so you don't have to compile) that this will be 2. In C++, every floating point number computed using integer math is rounded up. So, 61/5 (12.2) would be 13 using integer math.
Maybe you should compile that, because you're wrong. :)Quote:

lets say k, t and e are floating point numbers then
how can i test if the result of (1 + k*t)/e gives an integer value please?
There is no rounding. It is truncation, plus it is a valuable lesson for the OP to compile that and try and figure it out (or better yet get a book that tells you that integer math always results in a truncated integer.
Quzah is not angry, he is just tired of the same questions over and over again.
can anyone actually answer my question please, instead of rantingQuote:

So, 61/5 (12.2) would be 12 using integer math. And the answer has been given. IT ALWAYS WILL BE AN INTEGER! (sorry for yelling, but, well...)
but i what if i am not using integer math, like i am asking
Rubbish. All rounding of integers in C and C++ truncates towards zero.Quote:

For two integers a and b, computing a/b is performed using integer arithmetic and there is never an intermediate value calculated that is of a floating point type.Quote:
Originally Posted by manutd
Now, to come back to the problem which seems to be e66n06's mind, even if he worded it poorly (and because he doesn't think he is doing integer maths, but he is;
there are two answers.Quote:
Originally Posted by e66n06
The first is that, as others have said, using integer arithmetic, the result (1+k*t)/e will always yield a result that is an integer, as long as no overflow or division by zero occurs (an example would be if k*t is too large to be stored in an int on the machine).
The second is to compute the remainder. For example;
A more practical way is to avoid doing the division in the first place. For example, and simply compute the remainder directly.Code:
/* Assume we have values k, t, and e and all are non-zero */
int result = (1+k*t)/e; /* assume no overflow */
int e_times_result = e*result;
int remainder = e_times_result - (1 + k*t);
if (remainder != 0)
/* Assume we have values k, t, and e and all are non-zero */
int remainder = (1+k*t) % e;
if (remainder != 0)
Ok, we are not ranting, simply telling you the truth of things from the first question.
You can cast into an int then compare, I just Googled there are plenty of solutions to your problem, perhaps reading the link in my signature and becoming more enlightened will show you the true path to the answers you seek.

Nick Cater has delved into the original debate surrounding the introduction Australia's racial vilification laws. His piece in today's Australian highlights some unexpected sceptics of some aspects of the Racial Hatred Bill 1995, which included section 18C:
The Keating government was expressly warned by the then Human Rights and Equal Opportunity commissioner, Irene Moss, not to legislate against the causing of offence.
In her influential 1991 report on HREOC's National Inquiry on Racist Violence, Moss advised against following the model adopted in New Zealand where section 9C of the Race Relations Act had been "widely used and even abused by individuals complaining of insults or remarks of a relatively trivial nature".
Acts of racial violence should be treated as "distinctive, serious criminal offences" under the Crimes Act. Civil remedies under the Racial Discrimination Act should be restricted to "the incitement of racial hostility".
"The inquiry is not talking about protecting hurt feelings or injured sensibilities," wrote Moss.
"The threshold for prohibited conduct needs to be higher than expressions of mere ill will."
As it turned out, the proposed amendments to the Crimes Act were a step too far even for the Greens, who sided with the Coalition to block them in the Senate.
"It will create a crime of words," the Greens' Christabel Chamarette told the Senate.
"This will take the legislation across a certain threshold into the realm of thought police."
Was this the last time the Greens stood up for free speech?

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Millennials, the generation born from the early '80s to early '00s, have been starting families and buying homes later than their predecessors, thanks to the Great Recession and its ripple effects. Many experts have assumed this is temporary. But what if it isn't? Are these young folks cheating themselves?
A survey by Zillow, the online home marketplace, suggests this pattern could have legs, with first-homebuyers' average age rising to 32 over the next 10 years, from 31 last year and 30 in the years before the housing collapse of the mid-2000s.
The survey of housing experts looks only at millennials who do buy, while many others are just continuing to rent or live with parents. Nationally, the homeownership rate has fallen to less than 65%, from 69% just before the housing collapse.
"The national homeownership rate fell in the second quarter, and a majority of experts said they expect it to fall further in coming years as the millennial generation delays home purchases and the age of typical first-time homebuyers rises," Zillow says.
Read More: Investing in Single-Family Homes Isn't as Easy as Many Hope
This can be sobering news for homebuilders and companies that sell home furnishings. Because those are big industries, a slowdown in household formation is not good for the economy.
But it doesn't necessarily mean millennials are on the road to financial ruin.
On the downside, home prices will probably rise over the next decade, so folks who postpone a first purchase will miss some appreciation and pay more. Interest rates are also likely to rise, pushing up the cost of that first home even more. Buying later rather than sooner also means missing out on benefits such as the federal tax deduction for mortgage interest.

Photo: Mad Man Escapes From Church, Jumps Into Lagos Lagoon From 3rd Mainland Bridge
Jan 30, 2015 – Picture: Mentally Unstable Man Escapes From Church Commits Suicide By Jumping Into Lagos Lagoon From Third Mainland Bridge At Iyana Oworo
Yesterday a mentally unstable man identified as Ezebu Joseph took his own life after he escaped from a healing center located on Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
According to eyewitnesses, the deceased was in a passenger bus heading towards Obalende on the Island when he suddenly told the driver to stop.
He reportedly forced the door open, jumped out and plunged into the Lagoon at Iyana Oworo on the Mainland bridge before anyone could confront him.
According to family sources, the deceased who hailed from Imo State had been taken to a church on the aforementioned expressway for prayers before he escaped.
The relatives said they did not know how he left the place and joined a public transport. The police have recovered his corpse and deposited it in a morgue in the area.
Motorists are now calling on Lagos State Government to put a big barrier on the bridge as it has now become a popular suicide spot.
May his soul rest in peace.

PPG Aerospace Receives Cessna Cockpit Window Contract
PPG Industries' Aerospace Transparencies group recently announced it has been awarded a contract by Cessna Aircraft Co. to supply production and spare windshields and side cockpit windows for the new Citation Latitude mid-size business jet.
"PPG Aerospace is pleased to be able to continue our relationship with Cessna and excited by the opportunity to work on this innovative aircraft," said Arthur Scott, PPG's global director for general-aviation transparencies products. "Because of the width of the cockpit on the Citation Latitude, these will be the largest transparencies PPG supplies to Cessna. We appreciate the confidence Cessna has shown in PPG's ability to meet the associated technical challenges."
PPG will reportedly design and manufacture main windshields and side cockpit windows for the Citation Latitude jet at its Huntsville, Ala., transparencies facility. The heated windshields and side cockpit windows will be made of HERCULITE® II chemically strengthened glass by PPG to be strong and lightweight. They will be designed to resist impact by a 4-lb bird at 305 knots. The main windshields will have SURFACE SEAL® coating for water shedding without the need for wipers, as well as an antistatic coating.
According to Cessna, first flight of the Citation Latitude prototype is expected to be mid-2014, with Federal Aviation Administration certification (Part 25) and entry into service expected in 2015.

Man's body found in Town of Tonawanda home he set on fire
The mystery of the presumed suicide of a Town of Tonawanda man inside his burning home ended late this afternoon, when Town of Tonawanda police and fire investigators found the man's body inside his Fries Road home.
While details remain sketchy, police said they were confident the body was that of 60-year-old Joe Hollywood.
That discovery was the latest development in an ever-changing incident that started at about 9:15 a.m. today, forcing a pair of school lockdowns.
Ken-Ton school officials finally were able to release the last of their students from school starting at 4 p.m. today. Earlier, the case had taken another unusual twist at mid-afternoon when a police SWAT team searched a nearby home on Mayfield Avenue, preventing Ken-Ton school officials from releasing their students who live in the affected area.
But Hollywood was not found at that home. Police told school officials they could release the remaining students, from Edison Elementary, Franklin Middle and Kenmore East High School.
Town of Tonawanda police then continued two parallel investigations, one presuming Hollywood died in his home, the other assuming he may have escaped. Some time between 4 and 4:45 p.m., his body was found.
Throughout the morning, Hollywood, known for dressing up as Santa Claus at large public events, threw part of the Town of Tonawanda into gridlock, after threatening his female domestic partner with a gun and starting his house on fire, authorities reported.
With police and fire officials unsure whether Hollywood still was in the house, firefighters were prevented from approaching the engulfed home, and Ken-Ton school officials locked down all their schools this morning. That lockdown was lifted shortly after 1 p.m.
Prior to that, police had little reason to believe that Hollywood escaped safely from the burning home, and they haven't determined whether reports of shots fired inside the home may have been self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
"From the initial call, it seemed as if he was just determined to die today," Bado told the media.
The apparent domestic confrontation that fueled the incident became public at about 9:15 a.m., when a woman at 163 Fries Road called 911.
"He is going to kill me, and he has a gun," the woman screamed, according to police. The 911 operator also heard a man screaming in the background, and the woman claimed that the man had started the house on fire.
The phone call then ended, and the woman fled from the home, near Eggert Road, four blocks east of Parker Boulevard.
Almost half an hour later, responding volunteer firefighters still hadn't been able to attack the fire, which had engulfed the home.
"He hasn't come out, so they've been very cautious about fire personnel approaching the house," said Bado shortly before 9:45 a.m.
Police said Hollywood has drawn a lot of police attention over the years. A quick check of police records showed that Town of Tonawanda police have had at least 18 contacts with him since 2003, they said. Those contacts mostly were for nuisance-type, rather than violent, crimes, including complaints of harassment, disorderly conduct, reckless operation and larceny, police said.
A City of Tonawanda man who went to Eggert and Fries roads this morning, who knew Hollywood from old roofing and construction projects they worked on, cited several incidents the man had with police.
"There were times he would tell the cops to come on in and get him," said the man, who wouldn't give his name. He also said Hollywood was a gun collector who had a large arsenal of weapons and ammunition in his basement.
On Jan. 2, 2000, Hollywood – dressed as Santa Claus – was charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct after being tackled in the tunnel at the end zone in Ralph Wilson Stadium during a Bills-Colts game.
In an odd twist, a Buffalo News report after his arrest listed his name as Joseph Bryniarski, of Fries Road, Town of Tonawanda, saying that he also went by the name of Joe Hollywood. Two days later, The News ran a clarification that he legally had changed his name to Joe Hollywood years earlier.
Four years after that incident, in April 2004, Hollywood, again dressed as Santa, appeared at a demonstration protesting then-President George W. Bush's appearance at Kleinhans Music Hall.
This time, he was more peaceful, lobbying for funds for Kevlar trousers for soldiers in Iraq.
Shortly before 11:45 a.m. today, Town of Tonawanda police tweeted that Hollywood remained unaccounted for and that he had made threats in the past and has access to weapons.
Ever since they received the original call, Town of Tonawanda police focused on setting up a perimeter, looking for the man and helping neighbors evacuate or get to a safe place. At least some of the closest neighbors were asked to go into their basements.
The Ken-Ton schools issued this statement on their website at mid-morning:
"The Town of Tonawanda Police Department has advised that all school district buildings should not allow anyone to leave or enter at this time. The reason is that there is a possibly deranged individual that may be related to a house fire on the corner Eggert and Fries roads. Police informed us that at some point shots may have been fired, and we will remain in lockdown mode until they have found him as they are not completely sure he is in the house."
Neighbors reported shots fired from the residence, but police haven't been able to confirm that report.
Authorities weren't sure about the relationship between Hollywood and the woman, but the original call was labeled a domestic situation.
The home is located south of Brighton Road, about a third of a mile south of Kenmore East High School.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History
The emphasis of the over 30,000-specimen Minerals collection is directed largely toward exhibition and education. Approximately one third of all known mineral species are represented and a number of the specimens are considered among the finest examples in existence. Acquisitions include an outstanding suite of minerals from the former Soviet Union, a historically important suite of nearly 5,000 Pennsylvania minerals formerly owned by the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, and the over 2,700 Pennsylvania minerals acquired from the Bryon Brookmyer collection. The section houses a nice gem collection of about 2,000 pieces and a modest collection of meteorites. Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems has gained an international reputation as one of the finest and most important mineral exhibitions in the country. Many specimens from the collection of William W. Jefferis, a nineteenth century mineral collector from West Chester, Pennsylvania, are on exhibit throughout the hall. See how his collection, and those of other private collectors and mineral dealers, impacted our exhibitions in the History of Hillman Hall.

Slowly but surely, Orange County is learning the superiority of Korean ways. We've already assimilated kalbi tacos; the Korean spas, where old women in bras and panties scrub naked ladies down to a luminous glow, are already the stuff of legend among the fairer sex; and Korean churches are the liveliest and best-attended in OC Christendom. Eventually, kimchi will be as popular as Sriracha, and we'll all learn to greet one another with the harmonious "Annyong haseo!"(Hint: When you're at a Korean restaurant and the host greets you with this—and he or she always will—repeat it back.)
But the next thing we need to embrace is Korean fried chicken, by far the most spectacular rendition in the genre. Unlike other unnamed KFCs, Koreans view throwing drumsticks and wings into a fryer as reverent a dunking process as a baptism. At KoKo Chicken and BBQ in Buena Park, written in fluorescent marker on a glass wall is a warning to eaters that this process will take time—15 to 20 minutes, minimum—because the owners fry to order, with fresh oil and chicken parts just five days or fewer removed from a breathing, living hen. If this seems like overkill, order some pieces, bite into them and slip into your happy zone.
As at most Korean fried-chicken spots, KoKo fries its chicken twice, a process that not only separates the skin from the meat so you can pull the skin off with a tug that requires all the effort of removing a silk glove, but also creates meat so juicy that rivers of fat glisten on it. The skin is golden, jagged, almost pre-Cambrian in appearance, but the taste is unadulterated fat, making chicharrones seem as rich as chomping on a pencil. Dunking sauces are offered, but they're almost superfluous—that's how brilliant these wings are. Prices are cheap, and beer and soju flow freely, so show up in the evening, when the Korean youth of Buena Park and Fullerton flocks to the place to crunch through an order, along with other Korean pub favorites.
Slowly, more non-Koreans are discovering KoKo. The menu used to be only in Hangul, but it is now also in English. Every once in a while, you'll see a flyboy from the Fullerton Municipal Airport across the street poke his head inside. And the television tends to settle on ESPN instead of florid Korean melodramas or K-pop. In 10 years, Korean fried chicken will be as American as Kogi—oh, happy future!

Let's call it the glucose paradox. Your brain needs glucose – or blood sugar – for fuel, yet when levels of glucose in the blood get too high it becomes the enemy. According to Alzheimer's Australia, diabetes, which develops when the body can't control levels of blood glucose - increases Alzheimer's risk by 65 per cent. Some studies suggest that dementia risk is also increased when blood glucose reaches the high end of normal - not high enough to be diabetes, but getting close.
New Australian research is shedding more light on this. The Sydney Memory and Ageing Study is following 1037 older people, doing assessments every two years to see how their brains are faring. The latest results from 880 70 to 90 year olds found that, compared to people in the group with normal blood glucose levels, those with diabetes had signs of cognitive decline and brain shrinkage. In people with impaired fasting glucose – meaning their blood glucose levels are edging towards diabetes - some had signs of two problems caused by rising blood glucose: oxidative stress and inflammation.
"Both these processes can damage brain cells and increase the risk of cognitive decline," says Professor Perminder Sachdev, Co-director of the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing at the University of NSW which runs the study.
Bad news, yes, but also grounds for optimism.
"Knowing that poor control of glucose can harm the brain means that doing all we can to keep glucose levels healthy with the right food and exercise gives us a better chance of avoiding dementia," Sachdev says.
So what's the best diet for a healthier brain? That's been the subject of debate in the US with the publication of Grain Brain by neurologist Dr David Perlmutter who maintains that carbohydrates - the 'brain's silent killer' – cause dementia.
But carbohydrates cover a lot of territory from chips and soft drink to black beans and quinoa, and Sachdev believes it's not about avoiding carbohydrates, but choosing the right ones.
"It's true that refined carbohydrates generally cause high peaks in blood glucose but other carbohydrate foods like legumes and whole grains are usually slowly digested and keep blood glucose levels more even," he says, adding that the Mediterranean Diet – which includes carbohydrates like whole grains and legumes – is linked to less dementia. "This diet also includes fish and a lot of vegetables. It's about a whole pattern of eating - focussing on single foods might draw media attention, but doesn't give the big picture."
Grain Brain also maintains that gluten contributes to dementia, but Sachdev says the research doesn't back this up.
"Some people need to avoid gluten because of coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity, but there's no strong evidence linking gluten to dementia, "he says.
There's no foolproof anti-dementia diet yet, but there are clues. A way of eating that promotes longevity may help. Although centenarians aren't immune to dementia, if they do develop the disease it tends to arrive later, Sachdev says.
One of the best known longevity diets, of course, is the traditional Japanese diet of Okinawa – which is high in carbohydrates.
"But traditionally Okinawans also eat fish, vegetables, are physically active and have a saying 'hara hachi bu' - eat until you are 80 per cent full," Sachdev points out.
Until we're sure what the brain needs to defeat dementia, Sachdev suggests choosing carbs wisely, eating a vegetable-rich diet with fish, olive oil and small amounts of lean meat, keeping up the exercise – and staying at a healthy weight.
To learn more about keeping your brain in good shape, join me at a free public seminar by the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing on 4 March 2014 at 10am, Rockdale Town Hall, 2 Bryant Street, Rockdale. Topics include: eating and exercising for a healthy brain, the merits of brain training and how to maximise memory. Bookings essential by 26 February at www.betterbrain.eventbrite.com.au or call 9562 1666.
PS Perminder Sachdev has organised a petition to make dementia prevention and research a priority item on the agenda at the meeting of the G20 to be hosted by Australia later this year. You can support his campaign here

Hays Post
Now in its fourth year, this Kansas drought is the third worst in the last 100 years.
That's the assessment of Bob Gillen, director of the K-State Agricultural Research Center in Hays:
Gillen says the 1930s drought lasted eight years, from 1932 through 1940, with 1933 to 1936 the worst years for dust storms and limited precipitation.
All 105 Kansas counties are now in a drought situation. Gov. Sam Brownback issued the update Wednesday morning.
More than half of Kansas counties, including Ellis, are in the emergency stage.

Last.fm Scrobbling Data Determines Coachella and Lollapalooza's Most Anticipated Acts
Last.fm Festivals App Helps You Chart Your Way to The Perfect Festival Line Up
NEW YORK, NY – April 13, 2012 – In anticipation of this weekend's Coachella festival and Wednesday's rollout of Lollapalooza's line-up, global music discovery service Last.fm, has delved into its global scrobbling data to determine how the headliners stack up and the fastest rising up-and-coming acts for each festival.
Coachella's main headliners are Radiohead, The Black Keys, and Dr. Dre. Of the three, Radiohead leads with more than 329 million total plays and 3.7 million total global listeners, followed by The Black Keys, whose listeners have grown by almost double since the release of El Camino last December, with 53 million plays and 1.1 million listeners. Dr. Dre comes in third for overall plays with 22.6 million but second in listeners with 1.6 million.
On a weekly basis, The Black Keys are the only headliner to be trending up on their way into Coachella Valley:
For the up-and-coming acts, some of the fastest-rising bands on Coachella's line-up include Swedish electropop band Miike Snow, with more than 12.9 million plays, Childish Gambino (who plays Troy Barnes on the NBC series Community) with 6.4 million plays, and 20-year old lyricist Azealia Banks with nearly 700,000 plays.
All three artists are trending up as they head into this weekend's festival:
Festival goers trying to figure out which acts to see can tap the Last.fm Festivals iOS and Android apps to discover their ultimate festival line-up based on their listening habits. Using the Festivals App, Coachella festival-goers might discover, for example:
In addition to this weekend's Coachella kick-off, the Lollapalooza line-up has dropped and the four headliners topping this year's bill are all guitar legends: The Black Keys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath and Jack White.
Of the four headliners, The Black Keys show the biggest growth in listeners leading up to Lollapalooza, though the Red Hot Chili Peppers are on top by just a few thousand listeners per week. Jack White has the fewest active listeners, likely due to the fact that he doesn't have an album out yet, and fans are still playing White Stripes records.
Overall numbers for the Red Hot Chili Peppers include more than 200 million global plays and 3.5 million listeners. Black Sabbath comes in second with more than 54 million plays and 1.7 million listeners, followed closely by The Black Keys' 53 million plays and 1.1 million listeners, and Jack White comes in fourth with more than 843,000 plays and 178,000 listeners.
Among some of the fastest-rising artists, Childish Gambino is proving to be one of the year's fastest climbers. His listeners spiked first as his debut album Camp was released, and they've continued to return after the strength of tracks like 'Heartbeat' and 'Bonfire.'
Other fast-risers include, tUnE-yArDs with 2.8 million plays and The Big Pink with 3.4 million plays. Both made big impressions in 2011, but listenership has stabilized since winter. Little Dragon, with more than 7.3 million plays, has made the most of spots on Gorillaz' Plastic Beach and continues to climb.

U.S. wheat futures finished higher, with traders buying back previously sold wheat positions as concerns increase about spring wheat production in the northern Plains.
An annual spring-wheat tour that began Tuesday in North Dakota estimated yields will drop from last year, sparked fear that yield and production will not meet expectations.
Some people were just caught off guard by the results of the first day of the crop tour, said Terry Reilly of Citigroup in Chicago.
The hard red spring wheat crop in central North Dakota on Wednesday showed signs of lagging behind last year's yields, following a trend set on the first day of the state's annual crop tour.
A group of participants on the tour, sponsored by the Wheat Quality Council, estimated the average yield for five fields inspected in McLean and Sheridan counties at 42.6 bushels an acre. The same route last year had an estimated yield of 46.5 bushels an acre after a full day of inspections.
The spring wheat crop issues provided support to offset concerns about foreign demand, as the U.S. faces increased competition for export business from Russia. The market also shrugged off pressure from a higher U.S. dollar. The higher dollar makes U.S. supplies more expensive to foreign importers.
The strength of the market was surprising, as lower spring wheat yields were expected, said Shawn McCambridge, grains analyst with Jeffries/Bache in Chicago. The advances seem to be more a function of end of month positioning than a fundamental change in the market, he added.
Meanwhile, traders said the unwinding of short wheat/long corn spreads helped boost prices as well.
U.S. corn futures end higher on spillover support from a rally in the wheat market. Wheat influences corn because both grains are used for livestock.
U.S. soybean futures stumbled Wednesday, with selling generated by an absence of a new weather threat for crops and jitters about the government's inability to hammer out a debt-ceiling agreement. Traders took a cautious approach awaiting clear signals on weather and decisions on the U.S. debt ceiling, analysts said.
CBOT December corn end up 0.7% at $6.91 1/2 a bushel. CBOT Sept wheat end up 1.5% at $7.04 3/4, KCBT September wheat rose 1% to $7.88 1/4 and MGEX September wheat end up 1.4% to $8.51. CBOT November soybeans end down 0.6% at $13.80 1/2.
Other Markets
CBOT December soymeal end down 1.5% at $363.60/short ton, and December soyoil finish down 0.3% at 57.31 cents/pound.
U.S. rough rice futures end sharply lower, as jitters about the government's inability to hammer out a debt-ceiling agreement caused market participants to sell some risky investments. CBOT September rice dropped 41 1/2 cents, or 2.4%, to $16.79 1/2 per hundredweight.
Ethanol for December delivery dropped 0.3% to $2.566 per gallon. Oats for September delivery finish down 0.2% at $3.55 1/2 a bushel.

Great Gun the only problem I have with mine is trying to get out the used Co2 Cartridges And finding new ones that fit
Written on: 07/11/2011 by roycrissman (2 reviews written)
Not as accurate as more expensive co2 guns, but great for the money. I am using this as a plinker(soda can size targets)and for point and shoot drills. Trigger pull is pretty easy but firm enough to mimic a real firearm like my 92f. The left grip reveals the co2 cartridge. It clips on with plastic clips so you have to be careful. Loading has to be done one bb at a time., but no big deal, as my 22's magazines have to be loaded one at a time also. Not a bad gun for under the 35 bucks I paid for… Read Full Review

Bought the Powerline 15XT about 2 years ago now...
Very well priced, and gets 90 shots(6 full loads) from a 12g CO2 canister before weakening.
Accuracy is average.(good at short range -10m)
Plastic parts are prone to breaking and cracking if dropped,as well as screws stripping if dismantled.
Seals do wear quickly with the cold of the CO2, however i find just a little bit of vasoline on the leaks seams to hold and create the seal needed.

Got this pistol from Wal-mart a few days ago and put it up against my Remington Airmaster 77, the power is comparable to 3-5 pumps with the Air rifle, and the acuracy is pretty close to the same, it has a good weight the "clip" is a bit odd to load, almost takes 3 hands, has a good sound when fired and the Co2 lasts quite a few "clips", would have preferred a metal casing over the plastic but for me this is just a prop in my B.O.B. / G.H.B. until I can afford a H&K USP… Read Full Review

My gun , the Daisy 15XT, is broken. I guess if you slam the BB follower spring release, it will brake. Or maybe if left at the ready for varmints, it will brake.
I bought Copperhead Premium BB's. They worked until they oxidized. I should have poured oil into the container. Reloading is very easy with the re-loader.
Now with somewhat clean bb's I can fire and they round out slowly. The CO2 cartridge leaks out empty when installed. Without the repair manual I am sure there is a spring… Read Full Review

I shoot competitively with real pistols, so I bought one of these so I could practice in my backyard. The pistol is a replica of a colt 1911 pistol, but shoots double action(unlike the colt), which means that it cocks its own hammer. The trigger is much longer than the real thing and very heavy. The pistol is a pain to load but worth it to shoot. It is a great first gun and is very inexpensive.

The Daisy Powerline 15Xt is an excellent gun for beginners to learn gun safety, and even for experienced gunmen. the only real con about this gun is that it does not conserve on the Co2 per shot as the daisy 008 does.

Ive also read several reviews from various website indicating that the seal leaks.The only reason it would start leaking… Read Full Review

Well I've had the gun for about 9 months and have gone through one box of CO2. Daisy Power Line 15XT is fun to shoot and accurate, but awkward to load.

possible file system corruption
I use mandriva 2006. Since it doesnt shutdown properly after the background goes blue with the x cursor I just turn off the power and that's that. Then I restart the next day and all is good. Have been doing this for a year now. But today, something else happend. First message was in the console, mandriva didnt start as normal. I did the most obvious thing, 'startx' but I got cannot read the /tmp/.Xauthority . I did chmod 1777 /tmp but I got 'cannot do this, read-only filesystem' but obviosly my filesystem is NOT readonly. I also read that when you get the 'read only' 'cannot do this' is because of file system corruption, well I ran fsck and the result was:
/dev/volgroup00/logvol00: clean, 165780/14974976 files, 5773411/2992536 blocks
I searched web on this said deleted TEMP dir, but the temp dir is still there. This is the most closest thing I could find on the net that macthes ALL the symptoms I am having.
EXCEPT has nothing to do with PHP, as you can see.
So, what can I do. I can't start the xserver because /tmp/.Xauthority is read only which it wasnt before. My technical aptitude with linux is zero/10 so if I have to type something in make sure to spell it out completely.
Thanks, and this matter is of extreme urgency!!!
Could you post at least the message in the console? (maybe after another reboot) Looks like yourfile system wasn't mounted correctly and so is mounted in read-only mode.
Well, you can go to /var/log and find there some file (sys.log or messages or something) so you can post their contents (check for something private in logs, though it's not surely there). Also you can run 'dmesg > ~/log' and so ~/log will contain kernel messages. And explore /vsr/log/* , you can find there some files with fresh messages (modification time today) and post them.
That would be nice to do except that I cant do anything to get the log files out of the hdd and have these on the forums can I?
The hdd is acting as 'read only' so the log files wont write in the first place. It would help a lot if people actually read and understand my question in the first place and someone who is an expert with linux find the answer to my question.
You can copy and paste from the konsole just like any text file.
In fact it's a good way to log your own stuff, like addresses to config files and such.
It takes time to get good answers. You may try a search of this site for similar threads,
and remember the wiki and the tutes too.
Also, Google is your friend.
It is not a helpdesk
You can use lynx to access the internet in txt mode.
You can use a live distro to access the syslog
log files will contain last activity BEFORE crash. It may contain something, if a write-intensive process was running when you switched power off. And dmesg will almost certainly contain some information about reasons to mount read-only. Well, sorry for misleading >~/log, mount anything not corrupted (like flash). Also if you have gpm running (mouse in text mode) you can mount flash, cd to it, "cat >log" , scroll up with Shift-PgUp, select messages with mouse and then press right button - it will feed them to cat; press Ctrl-D afterwise. Also, try "mount / -o remount,rw" and post the output (preferably, again, "log" after "mount / -o remount,rw &>log" on writable media)
delete this post
Please if you don't have anything constructive to contribute don't even bother replying. I need serious support and if some members here don't know how to read my original post they shouldn't be answering in this thread!
raskin pointed out what was most likely the last thing to happen - something went wrong during boot (maybe even the previous shutdown, especially if you have to just power off sometimes). He also pointed out a way to get the information without typing it, by plugging in a flash drive and using the command line instead of the gui to get the info.
If you don't understand what he's saying, tell us that - don't complain how only an expert can help you. Only a psychic can help you until we see whether the logs contain information about why the file system is being mounted read only. It's been 2 days since this happened, even writing it out and typing it manually would have the info by now.
Please keep in mind that the people here aren't paid and support is provided while trying to deal with our own problems, lives, etc.
The syslog is usually in /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/messages - if you've mounted your hard disk at /mnt/harddisk, look in /mnt/harddisk/var/log/syslog
Called: mount /dev/hdb3
It may be that the file system needs checking. If you can't mount it with a command like the following (depending on what the file system is), it may need to have fsck run over it:
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb3 /mnt/hdb3
e2fsck /dev/hdb3
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb3 /mnt/hdb3
e2fsck /dev/hdb3
At this point, I'd recommend running e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hdb3 unless you don't think the partition was ext2 or ext3 (I don't use Mandriva so I don't know what the default partition type is).
Knowing which superblock to use is the difficult part. If the value 8193 doesn't work (it's the default for 1k blocksizes), please try it with 16384 (2k blocksizes) or 32768 (4k blocksizes).

Photo Flash: Chris Bauer, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and More Rehearse for Atlantic Theater's WHAT RHYMES WITH AMERICA
Playwright Melissa James Gibson makes her Atlantic Theater Company debut following her acclaimed Susan Smith Blackburn Prize finalist play This playing Off-Broadway. She received an Obie Award for her play [sic], and the prestigious 2011 Steinberg Playwright Award for her body of work. Gibson wrote the screenplay for the Untitled Christmas Tree Project, starring Paul Giamatti and Paul Rudd, and is currently a staff writer on the new FX show "The Americans."
Director Daniel Aukin recently staged Joshua Harmon's play Bad Jews at Roundabout Theatre Company and Sam Shepard's Heartless at Signature Theatre, as well as 4000 Miles by Amy Herzog at Lincoln Center. This production marks his fifth collaboration with Gibson, after staging her plays This, Current Nobody, [sic] and Suitcase.
A father (Bauer) and his teenage daughter (Carrero) stand on either side of a closed door. Life is unraveling for him, and is entirely uncertain for her. So begins Melissa James Gibson's poignant, funny new play about estrangement and the partially examined life.
