Wow, this poll must have been put up now.

For me, I don't think I'll be submitting anything, mainly because the thought never really crossed my mind, and I don't know what I'd submit :)

If I find anything worth submitting, I'll submit it. I doubt that'll happen though.

I hadn't really thought about it either. I just read the Sept./Oct. newsletter today, and then this poll came up about 5 hrs later. I saw that they wanted people to submit articles, and I think I might, but only if I think of something good to submit...BTW, I voted "maybe"...

That is to say, I voted "Maybe, I **HAVNE'T** decided yet". I havne't submitted an article yet, but I think I might. Well, I havne't got any time left, so I gotta go. If I havne't spent all my time on homework by the end of today, I'll be back. Get the hint yet? If not, then I suggest you learn to spell... ;)

Oh... I just now figured out what you were talkin about...

(: :)

I still don't get the '(::)' thing. Is it a mutated smiley?

It's a thing me and some of my friends started through AIM. We were talking about Siamese twins because I put up an away message about them (I can't post it here for fear of being banned...). Anyway, it is supposed to be siamese twin smileys, but sometimes we use them as parentheses.

But apparently you didn't

I didn't what???

As of now there is 1 newb who has no idea that there's a newsletter. (no offense)

Now there are two

now three!

oh and BTW... i voted "maybe..."

Now 5\!

now 6/!

120d

now 7(what the hell... y'all take these exclamation points too serious...)!!!

Now 8! (that's me!)

By that you mean that there's now 40,320.
Wow, that's a big jump.

UGH...SEE!!!!!!!

120d//!!!

This is why these message boards are so great!

Well, 8! IS very different than 8\! or 8//!. On a message board about calculators, you'd expect most things to be somewhat math-related, so naturally, the "bang" symbol is going to denote a factorial in the cases where it appears directly after a number.

I don't think anybody's going to say that "I voted 'no' on the poll!" is equal to

"I voted 'no' on the poll(poll-1)(poll-2)(...)(1)" (though that would be funny ;-))

...So there's not really any reason to complain about it. :P Besides, if a number is the last "word" in your sentence, aren't you supposed to write out the whole number, anyway? (To be grammatically correct) If so, then that gives everybody even more reason to say 8!=40320.

Whatever, I'm just rambling...

Well, then now there's TEN!

now eleven

NoW FoUrTeEn!!!

Whoa, now seventeen!

Twenty-Two!

Twenty-three!

Twenty-Four!

Twenty-six!

Gah... There's 19 "Re:"'s... and now twenty-seven n00bs!

...and still 27\!

I wonder how small these thingies get...

Still 27...

Lets find out! Still 27...

They get pretty small.

Still twenty-seven people who do not know what the newsletter is.

MWM

The current count has now reached twenty-eight.

MWM

Drat. Now there's a scrollbar. I was hoping it would get even smaller. Oh well. Still 28...

I don't have a scroll bar yet. I'm using Opera full screen in Ratpoison on a high resolution screen.

Now twenty-nine!

Calling anyone who doesn't know there is a poll here a 'noob.' I am vote thirty-two on this pool and ten bucks says I know more than you do--related to this site, that is.

Dang! There is a scrollbar... Still 32.

Thirty-three

Wooaaaahh!!! People can count. This is great! What does that make me?

Stupid.

Threepio!! Turn off all the trash compactors on Detention Level 23!! Threepio!!

That made no sense to me...

37 now!

Oh, listen to them, Artoo; they're dying!

38!

There is an irony here.
I never read the first post (just a little lazy)
I wasn't too sure what was counted (thread length etc?)

After reading the new post though the question still stands. - I never realised there was a newsletter, and I am far far far from being a newbie

Ã(you are a moron)

That was supposed to be an uppercase gamma.

To be grammatically correct with written word all numbers should be written unless they are long (1234 should not be written one thousand two hundred and thirty four, the numbers hsould be used).
It seems to be personal choice for numbers between 100 & 1000. Obviously 1000, 1000000 etc should be written as words not numbers 'cos they are simple.

Oh well just my two pence (cents, what ever)

by that you mean (SEE)*(SEE-1)*(SEE-2)*(SEE-3)... ;)

But not only THAT, once he's done taking the factorial of SEE, he'll have to take the factorial of the factorial of the factorial of the factorial of the factorial of the factorial of that value. So:

if (SEE==0||SEE==1||SEE==2){
//Then that's understandabe...
}else{
//ERROR:OVERFLOW //!!!!!!!!!!!!! (nested comments... interesting :D)
}

Hehehe/*!!!*/

Uh, yeah, that's, uh, what I, uh, meant. I had the "..." didn't I? ;)

if SEE in [0,1,2]:
print "Then that's understandable..."
else:
raise OverflowError

MWM

Arg!!! I forgot that it deletes the tabs!!!

if SEE in [0,1,2]:
___ print "Then that's understandable..."
else:
___ raise OverflowError

Most of the time I like the way Python designates blocks, but this is one time that I don't.

MWM

The indentation makes it so you don't have all that { } crap everywhere. Python is THE best all-around language written.

..Anybody notice that there is a UID of 52067, 52068, 52069, and 52071, but not a 52070...

People can hide their profiles from public view... I think that's all it is.

Woh... I didn't know you could do that... That's cool!

(cool)(cool - 1)(cool - 2)(cool - 3)...(cool - n)(1)
