    Homer Simpson would tell you that two wrongs make a right - that's one of the key lessons he teaches his kids.

    Well, you missed the sarcasm there. It's one of the chief laws of AoDA. When you invoke tolerance, you're right. Those who disagree are wrong. It looks like this:

    (the Law of Tolerance)

    1. Tolerance champions are right (the Axiom of Tolerance)
    2. Something is either right or wrong
    3. 1 & 2 => Whoever disagrees with tolerance champions is wrong (modus tollendo ponens)
    4. You disagree with tolerance champions
    5. 3 & 4 => You are wrong (modus ponendo ponens)

    Oh do I need coffee. I need a strongass full-load coffee, and only the first stream, blackness of blackness. And loads of foam over it. The last one had probably four or five times more foam that coffee liquid and the foam was so stiff that it didn't fall down and mix with the coffee. Black and white, the basic, essential dichotomy... :rolleyes: :coffee: :holy: :p

    You want to know what's even worse?

    A damned 80KB long single javascript function relying for the most part on if{} instructions. And having a table-in-table sorting function defined for the sort() method. Forms simply suck! :mad: :flaming:

    What sucks yet more, is debugging of the said function. Beyond words. Beyond smartass smileys. Beyond undeath.

    I finished my second midterm today, it went pretty well if you ask me. Now let's hope the teachers share that sentiment.

    I surely got the bonus question right. The Netherlands only won the Eurovisie Songfestival once. :lol:

    Not so sure about the first midterm though. I looked at the first part and that was a 5.7, which means I have a 0.2 buffer for the open questions. I don't think that'll cover it, as those questions were VERY difficult. :( (Not to mention that half of them wasn't even about the stuff we had to study.)

    As far as I can recollect, the Netherlands won the Eurovision songcontest three times, but it could also be four... :confused:

    Since this post has the words "random babbling" in the title I hope the following questions aren't judged :yot: .

    I always let the ads load so SP gets credit, but some want to set cookies. I always let them but if I didn't would SP still get credit? I hope that made sense. :o
    Also, I wanted to send a small contribution since I get so much advice and help from this site but I would prefer to send a snail mail money order. Does SP do that? I don't have PayPal.
    Thanks!
    Bye!

    Dragonfly - Take a gander at how I edited your post above (edit it yourself and see what I changed). That's the easy way to do quote bars, rather than drawing the lines.

    [​IMG] Rotku would recommend it. It involves a lot of thinking for very little gain. We've spent, what is it, 3 hours, for nearly 1 page of rules :rolleyes:
    It's tiring and the time doesn't help! 11pm and I'm thinking this much! That's just not right.

    [​IMG] tabari, SP doesn't get anything unless you actually buy something via the ads, so if you let them set cookies or not is really irrelevant. The pop-ups are the only exception to this, since they pay per full display; if you blocked their cookies, I'm not sure if we'd still get paid, but I expect not.

    And yes, you can easily donate via snail mail. See http://www.sorcerers.net/Main/helping_sp.php for more info. (Basically, you need to PM me to ask me for my address, and you can ask me any other questions you might have about this as well.)

    Btw, you should have posted this in the SS forum, just FYI.

    When you wish to write something, paper is useful. Of course, a pen is more so.

    When you also lack one of those, you know you have a problem in that department.
