I haven't regretted it; they've all worked fine -- at a total cost of around EUR500, rather than closer to EUR2000. [edit] And DX is very hot on customer service -- don't tell them, but one of the phones I broke sort-of didn't look like I broke it, and they gave me a full refund within a couple of days of my returning it.

I'm old :/ I started learning back in late '84, but don't remember the name of the first reference book I used on my old Atari 800XL... Got this one later: The IBM Basic Handbook[^] And it's still on my bookshelf... Ah, nostalgia... Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Procrastinate? I'm all for it.

I've found that the best thing to do with such queries is print them out, run them through a shredder, and use the shredded paper to light a barbecue. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

And hum loudly. Don't forget the humming loudly. Preferable a single refrain from a single, dire pop song, all day long. That'll learn 'em to be noisy. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

It sounds like you need arbitrary-precision numbers. With C-1999 or C++2011, you are guaranteed to have a 64-bit built-in type. If you limit yourself to "digits" containing 9 decimal digits (they fit into 32 bits), you can perform the four basic arithmetic operations with "digits" that are easily converted to decimal notation. The following article (printed in Dr. Dobb's Journal in August 1992; includes source code) should get you started: Multiple-Precision Arithmetic in C | Dr Dobb's[^] If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Why are people still printing so much? I go through about 25 printed sheets a year. With phones/tablets/laptops, why must people print? (I know there are valid reasons, but probably not as many as you think) Hogan

Or maybe it will just result in another sigh. Worth a shot at least.

Anandtech's reviewed a few fanless computers over the last year or so. If you're not pegging them at 100% load, in a normal environment they did well thermally. I don't think they did any sort of hotbox testing to simulate a factory floor though. Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

That's the solution actually, just swap the labels on the tank caps. Do not escape reality : improve reality !
