Introductions! / Awesome Andy
« on: August 14, 2006, 05:14:05 pm »
Hello! I thought it's about time I do an introduction. I'm called Andrew and Andy and ktm and ktm5124 and Ender so take your pick. People at school usually call me Andy but people at camp and home usually call me Andrew. Strangers usually call me "that sexy stud over there."
So, I'll do a Q&A...
Age? 17 (going to be a h.s. senior)
Location? Massachusetts
Nerd? Of course.
Geek? Yeah, except I don't bite the heads off wild geese.
Good-looking? Absolutely.
Girlfriend? I yearn for one.
Sociable Nerd? Yes
Is the above statement an oxymoron? Hell no!
OS? I dual-boot ubuntu 6.06 and windows xp pro, and I favor linux
Favorite programming language? java or perl, can't decide
Arch? i386
Favorite genre of music: post-rock (sigur ros, amina, mogwai, and more)
Favorite music? Sigur Ros (Victory Rose), an icelandic band (samples)
Favorite song? This changes a lot but currently it's "vidrar [blah]" by Sigur Ros (listen to it)
Play an instrument? I've been playing piano for 2 years but am pretty newb at it.
Do you support the "save the vowels movement?" Don't really care. I do try to use good English on forums most of the time to excercise my writing.
Do you put your periods and question marks inside of sentence-ending quotation marks? Real men do.
Did you like March of the Penguins? It was stupendous.
Pets? Two birds, Sparky and Marshy (short for Marshmellow). They're cockatiels. They can say "pretty bird" and they have a lot of whistles (some that we love, some that annoy us). Sparky loves to be pampered (pet) but Marshy prefers to accept affection from sound (whistling, singing, etc.)
Fetishes? Ear Vacuums
Camp? Went to computer camp for the last three years and slept over for the last two. Last year was awesome; this year was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of awesome.
Least favorite person to argue with on these forums? Tie between newby, myndfyre, and rabbit. Although I think they're all awesome =P.
Anti-Joe? No, I think he's funny.
*prepares for angry mob*
Favorite food? Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with lettuce, tomates, hot sauce, and no blue cheese
Favorite quote? "Andrew, I love you." Alright, well now it's a quote.
Do you like school? I love it and hate it.
Favorite subject? Math.
School clubs? Math team and chess team.
Average sleep? ~6 hours.

General Discussion / Who here lives in Massachusetts?
« on: August 14, 2006, 11:34:59 am »
I think it would be cool to meet IRL =p. Of course, there are always the ever-pertaining concerns of pedafiles and the like, but I think it would be fine to meet at some mutually-agreed-upon place in MA and exchange more detailed contact information later.
Feel free to extend this thread to other states as well.

Entertainment District / Sigur Ros
« on: July 23, 2006, 11:41:14 am »
Since this search says that audio is a form of media, I will be posting this here =P.
Anyone here know of Sigur Ros? It's an icelandic band whose name translates to "Victory Rose." Their music is incredible, but not a lot of people know of it and a lot of people don't appreciate it. I highly recommend getting their music and if you do you have to get a whole album because their songs in each album are all connected and they flow and transition very well. I could go even further to say this of their albums...
Anyways, for those of you who know about them, I'd be happy to discuss their music and for those of you who are listening to it for the first time, what do you think?

General Discussion / Please Take My Sleep Survey!
« on: June 09, 2006, 07:53:43 pm »
I made an online sleep survey for my stats class. I would appreciate it if you take it. If you do, take it only once. The one question that may be considered intrusive, "what's your gpa," has a "skip" option. I don't think any other questions are intrusive.
Thanks in advance to those who take it.

General Programming / [MASM32] Basic Question
« on: December 25, 2005, 01:55:14 pm »
Hm, I posted this on the vL site, and then I realized, what better site to ask an assembly question than this! But, practically thinking, I want the fastest answer 
. So here's my question/story:
Today a friend told me that mASM32 is not "pure assembly." He says this because it has constructs like print chr$("..."), etc. Is this true, and if so, does mASM32 have all the functionality of "pure assembly"? Also, what do you guys use?

General Discussion / Telnet problems...
« on: November 26, 2005, 06:13:05 pm »
I've been trying to telnet lately and I haven't been able to. I'm using the Windows client, and using the command:
And it stays that way for FOREVER. What's interesting is that when I type in an incorrect port, it tells me (after about 2 or so minutes (literally)) "connection to host failed." This seems to imply that the server I am connecting to doesn't support telnet, but I was almost sure that bnet did.
I've tried other supposedly telnet-supported servers, and it doesn't work. I checked out my router settings, and I didn't find anything prohibiting the telnet protocol. I doubt my cable modem would prohibit it. I also tried typing in a bnet ip address for telnet, and that didn't work too, so it's not a DNS problem...
My questions: from reading this, do you see that I'm doing something wrong? If not, can you tell me a telnet-supported server ip/hostname that you have recently connected to via telnet so I can verify that it's not the server, but instead my client or router?
EDIT
Oh yea, I have tried telnetting from all the computers on my network. Which is why I have limited it to being a problem on the router or the server.
Code: [Select]
o useast.battle.net 6112
What I get is:Code: [Select]
Connecting to useast.battle.net...

Trash Can / Re: TAHCBot v4!
« on: November 11, 2005, 01:03:16 pm »It's quite obvious he just started Java so I don't think it's fair to be askiing someone to write a "well designed OOP program", you want one? Search google.You can't say you "learned" Java after you write a completely non-OOP program single-source program. And by the way, pointing someone to google is like telling them how to go to the bathroom. You just don't do it. Unless they say like "what's a hard drive." I never asked for an OOP example. I just challenged him to make one.
From his source he isn't thinking VB anymore (which would be almost impossible since Java is almost fully OO) so please name these "habbits" you are referring to.It's obvious that this was a "test program," to see if he could do it in Java. So I can't fault him much on his OOP because he was probably thinking solely about implementing the logon sequences in Java. But I am giving him good advice - this is not a reflection of his knowledge of Java, but moreso his knowledge of client emulation and procedural programming.
In reading it over, I guess I was mean. So sorry about being mean.
