Hi, I'm sdfg.
 - I'm 21 years old.
 - I live in central PA.
 - I don't do, I just am. Extremely rich!
 - I used to work at a Borders chain book store
 - I like all kinds of techno - trance, breakcore, rave, etc.
 - I don't have a girlfriend at the moment
 - I am in no clans either.
 - I have no friends on this board (but i might have a few enemies i guess)
 - Join? Whoa, no thanks, not yet, I don't think I even can, I just signed up to the forums!
 - Yes, I've read the rules.
 - Favorite TV show? Probably Seinfeld.
 - Movie? Tied between these: The Matrix, Pi, just about all James Bond movies
 - Band? Nine Inch Nails!
 - Country? Teh US of A
 - Continent? Logically, North America.
 - Season? wha? it changes you know...
 - Type of Weather? Somewhat chilly, otherwise completely normal
 - Subject in school? Math
 - Chemical? HCl - It burns so clean!
 - Food? I guess, pizza. But that's everybody's favorite.
 - Drink? Coka-cola.
 - Book? 1984
 - However, my favorite author has to be Agatha Christie. Love the suspense.
 - Operating system? fbsd on one box, Arch on my main, running Windows XP SP2 Home Edition in VMWare (I develop mainly for windows)
 - Phone company? Verizon
 - Computer brand? eMachines, I guess..
 - Linux Distro? Arch all the way!
 - Sport? None. I have never played any sports, nor been a fan of one. I'm just not a very sportsy guy, I guess.
 - Sports team? n/a
 - Sporting event? Um, superbowl?
 - Game? Occasionally StarCraft, but mostly Perfect Dark 64, Duke Nukem 64, Goldeneye 64 etc on an emulator.
 - Style of game? RTS and FPS
 - Bird? ?huh?
 - Animal? I can't stand animals,
 - Pet? ESPECIALLY having one as a pet. Way too much upkeep, and I don't really see any point to it.

So what's up, x86labs.org?

Welcome to the forums!

Let me get this out of the way, just like Ender did in my intro topic:

- Bird? ?huh?

Ok, ok, if I had to choose a bird, it would be a robin (for lack of a better choice)

Hiya, Lead.

[Lead]

What language is your favorite to develop in, and why?

[sdfg]

C. I'm the most comfortable with it, and I love the level of control I have over my projects.

[dark_drake]

sdfg: the new asdf?  Or does it mean something?

Oh, we have to get this one out of the way: who's your favorite James Bond?

[deadly7]

who's your favorite James Bond?

Anything other than Sean Connery or Daniel Craig will warrant trolling.
Double that if you say Pierce Brosnan.

[Sidoh]

Oh, we have to get this one out of the way: who's your favorite James Bond?

He's right.  Your answer will be paramount to your acceptance here.

You're the man now, dog.

[sdfg]

sdfg: the new asdf?  Or does it mean something?

Nah, it doesn't mean anything at all. I use a random combonation of a, s, d, f and g for just about any username, from forums (like this) to Starcraft, to IRC. Call me dull but I can't come up with a more fitting name.

Oh, we have to get this one out of the way: who's your favorite James Bond?

I'd have to say Pierce Brosnan. Sorry guys!

What does Clan x86 do?

[deadly7]

What does Clan x86 do?

Summon the Gods to banish heathens like you. Seriously, man, PIERCE BROSNAN???

[Sidoh]

GTFO.  Sean Connery will be by shortly.  I must warn you -- he's merciless.

Seriously, though, welcome.  x86 is just a group of e-friends.

[Chavo]

At least he didn't say Roger Moore

[Lead]

At least he didn't say Roger Moore

Agreed. WORST BOND EVER. (period)

[Blaze]

The only good movie (and script) Pierce was in was Goldeneye. 

[Newby]

I like your choice in N64 games. I loved Perfect Dark so much I beat the whole game. All golds on the shooting range, all multiplayer achievements, etc.

Of course, this was on a legitimate N64. On an emulator that'd be much harder.

[iago]

I like your choice in N64 games. I loved Perfect Dark so much I beat the whole game. All golds on the shooting range, all multiplayer achievements, etc.

Same, not to mention unlocking every cheat and beating every single player level. The later levels on the hardest difficulty were tough!

[Newby]

I think I still have my memory card with the full game beaten on it. I need to find out what's on it...

[Camel]

I think I still have my memory card with the full game beaten on it. I need to find out what's on it...

I thought those memory cards were battery-powered? I'm not 100% on that, but if so you'll probably have lost everything by now

[Newby]

I'll be very, very sad.

Your score.  Ender failed to evaluate your entire post, and as such missed some points.  Technically, you have [tex]-{\infty}[/tex], but since (+-)infinite can't fit into a calculator, you have 5 points.

The real WTF is that you used an image for infinity when there's a perfectly good unicode symbol (∞)

[sdfg]

Haha, I didn't know I would be rated

But seriously, thanks for the welcome guys.

[Sidoh]

The real WTF is that you used an image for infinity when there's a perfectly good unicode symbol (∞)

Next you're going to tell him to slap Don Knuth in the face.

[Quik]

-[tex]{\infty}[/tex] - Phone company? Verizon

Whats wrong with Verizon? It has decent phones, and excellent service where I'm at. Everyone here has it, which allows most calls and text messages to be free. Why does it warrant a negative infinite points?

[Camel]

The real WTF is that you used an image for infinity when there's a perfectly good unicode symbol (∞)

That doesn't display on all platforms/environments. Particularly, the one I'm on now.

Clearly the one you're on sucks.

The image you used doesn't work in consoles, you insensitive clod!

[Camel]

Well, I don't have whatever font (Verdana?) I need.

As for the image: it's your shitty forums that don't properly transform the TeX to a descriptive alt!

[Sidoh]

The image you used doesn't work in consoles, you insensitive clod!

Hahahahah.

[Newby]

The image you used doesn't work in consoles, you insensitive clod!

But you're a minority. Only console users and low-bandwidth users (deadly) would complain.

Do modern browsers even display the alt text any more? I can't recall seeing an image placeholder in a very long time, though that could be a product of broadband.

The horrible, terrible, nasty firmware on those phones. That, and the millions of RAZRs

Yes.

Especially when the person is using a screen reader (ie, blind people).

[Blaze]

iago, if you're blind, please tell me before I go driving with you.
