I'm not approaching this from a programming perspective, but the simplest approach I can see is to add all the numbers together. If there is a single missing number, then it will be the difference between that and 999,999. If there are multiple missing numbers, then doing this will have made a...

I feel hostility towards depressed people, but this is because I'm seeing myself in them. I realise this and avoid actually responding to them with hostility.

I took a gap year working for an automotive parts companies development lab. About a year or two before I started they had a lab manager with almost a lifetime of experience who knew every piece of kit inside out, he asked for a sabbatical and this was refused so he took early retirement...

I might go to the wolverhampton show. Haven't thought about it yet though.

Forget the music. I'm just waiting for my epic tshirt. :storks:

I'm quite interested in intermittent fasting. The method which seems a good starting point is one where two to three days a week you restrict your diet to a single 600 calorie meal. However I'm fairly active at the moment and this is incredibly hard to achieve, I have done it unintentionally in...

Liquid lunches will make you ill if you do them with any regularity. The lack of fibre will just start messing with your digestive system in unpleasant ways. The closest thing to a wonderfood you can get is a bag of mixed fruit and nuts, it's pretty much just as convenient as a drink, you can...

It hasn't even been released, you wouldn't download a car that hasn't been build yet would you? (I've pre-ordered the vinyl. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I'll be downloading it anyway)

You strike me as being an extravert.

Is there any penalty if you pause for too long? Either way, you would probably find that some simple meditation and breathing exercises would help you a lot.

Indeed :D Not homework, actual work. Not so much the change in friction, as whether there is a point where the friction suddenly changes. Although it is actually very complicated and depends on a lot of things such as temperature and humidity. There's plenty of scientific literature on the...

It's horrifically out of date. Modern operating systems and alternative choices of browser just confuse it.

Most likely, it encourages the body to stay in "repair" mode mode which means it prefers using fat to storing it. It also cuts the levels of insulin-like growth factor.

Instant is indeed foul. If you want to try proper coffee without going to a cafe, the easiest method is a coffee cone, and a bag of decent quality grounds.

I've always believed that being able to drink coffee right before falling asleep is less to do with the individuals metabolism, but instead is just a sign of addiction. This is only anecdotal evidence too, but most people I know who regularly drink coffee or tea in the evening are always quite...

What transitions occur in the friction of graphite-based materials as they are subjected to progressively increasing loads and speeds?

Got about a third of the way through so far. I think the general gist of what she is saying is correct, but she is grossly uninformed and opinionated. For example she is saying no fruits or vegetables contain any vitamin A, that we can't digest protein in plants, and that there are no fats in...

The biggest problem with the modern diet is the focus on cheap carbs. The positive effects you have experienced are probably mostly due to cutting out grains. We can't digest parts of the grain properly -our bodies produce antibodies in response to gluten- which aside from causing coeliac...

Could be worse. Far too many people have an obsession with mayo for some reason. :mad: Hmm... let's see... Does mixing chili and chocolate count as odd enough?

Whilst I agree a general chat would be good, there are forum categories for each of those things already. I doubt you'll get anything different here than elsewhere.

Because the human race evolved in tribal and familial groups. It's in our nature to separate ourselves into "us and them", it doesn't just apply to things like politics, our entire society is built upon it, from the school playground to the world leaders. There is a double whammy here, as we are...

I was always decisive, however my decisions were flawed due to incomplete data.

It turns out that I'm actually an INTJ. :o Various trains of thought have been ticking away in the back of my head for several months now, eventually leading to a slow realisation that I was failing to understand my thought patterns because I was approaching my analysis of said thought patterns...

We can say this because we've mapped about 200,000 galaxies in a 3-billion year chunk of the universe. In other words this is not a "theory" this is a direct observation. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/08/120821094032.htm

No, just immature.

I'm afraid I have no link to this, but I have read that the inherent repetition in pop music, or the repetition of listening to more complex music repeatedly, means that when we listen to such music our brains are constantly pre-empting what will come next, each time our brain correctly predicts...

No. Stop thinking in terms of P or J, think in terms of cognitive functions. Are you Te or Ti, Ne or Ni?

At the risk of a Wildeian phrase not quite coming across as I meant it to: You "should" be confident, but you shouldn't "be" confident. Lots of people decide to become more confident, but conscious attempts at confidence always result in either lying to themselves and behaving just as...

I think a Not gate is what you need, for the first bit at least. I might be wrong though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter_(logic_gate)

Including work, I can easily spend 10 hours a day on the computer, however I disagree with the "Pretty much the only thing I do." option.

Out-of-sequence interjection time. Layers are definitely one of the key points of his work. He is also very good at combining many different techniques in particular ways which other artists do achieve, but never with as much regularity. For example, chorus, falsetto, disharmonies, off-beat...

The entire Discography of SYL could essentially be described as a parody of metal, but I don't see Deconstruction as a parody. His own explanation of Deconstruction was that he wanted to show people that he has developed as a person; he can no longer do metal because he doesn't have the...

I was correcting a lot as I went, so there were only two incorrect words but quite a few wasted keystrokes.

I think I can do better, I was rushing and making a lot of mistakes.

But the autistic and aspergers spectrum people have always been the ones changing the world. The only difference now is that we've started labelling these people, and we seem to be fixated on "curing" them rather than helping them do what they do best.

He may not be "on a different level", but he is definitely one of a kind. Unless of course, you can point me towards a few similar artists; last.fm has let me down so far. Devins moved away from metal himself. I can't really class it as anything now, other than prog, the sheer scope of his...

Dis-regarding everything else that has been said for just a moment, the single biggest problem with the olympics is the corporatism. McDonalds the food of athletes? Nuff said. I sort of disagree with the nationalism argument. This sort of thing will always happen, humanity will always possess a...

Currently on the Sisterhood of Dune. The writing style isn't quite up to the standard of Frank Herbert, but the content is still interesting enough to be worth reading. Also been trawling my way through the Game of Thrones saga, odd bits of Pratchett too. BTW, I highly recommend The Long Earth...

I recently read a post on another forum by someone claiming to be a professional counsellor, he said he sees a lot of mid to late teenagers, as well as some older people, who are claiming to watch the show and are learning these things from it. He said he believes that it is very good that they...

I just condition my beard (just kidding). Most conditioners are based on silicone oils rather than natural oils, and whilst silicone is wonderful stuff, it's not really what your hair needs. It makes your hair look nice and shiny but doesn't keep it in good condition; most cosmetics...

The hunter-gatherer diet has appealed to me for a long time, but at the moment I'm just making small steps towards it. It makes perfect sense, not because it has been determined that it is what we "need" to survive, but because it is what our ancestors ate for millions of years, we evolved on...

The one thing I don't like about Devin, is that I never seem to listen to much else any more. He should never have got rid of the beard either.

I have a peculiar habit that 9 times out of ten I wake up about 5 minutes before my alarm. If I change my alarm it takes me a day or two to adjust. Or sometimes if I have an important reason to be awake earlier than usual I still wake up before my alarm anyway. However when I'm on holidays and...

The "sound" isn't "interference". It is the complex electromagnetic output of the sun which has been converted into a signal which can be heard by humans. But I'm not quite sure what you're referring to about the CGI?

I wouldn't read too much into it. Bear in mind that we have had these sorts of technologies -both the equipment picking up the "sounds" and the ability to listen to it in our houses- for a tiny span of time. Last time the sun was at this stage in the cycle we couldn't listen to it like this, we...

I sort of guessed something along those lines was going on. There's not really anything anyone here can do. All that is possible is to offer advice, but we cannot even do that unless he helps us to help him.

I was 18 for two years, I can't remember ever being 19 and I'd barely realised I was 20 by the time I was 21. I'm only a year behind at the moment.

'twas me. The update speed is terrible, he seems to post a lot a once then disappear for weeks.
