[2006-07-18 09:54:32] - a: strangely 1000.0 and 1000 would have been OK, the bigger issue was the lack of precision due to the way fractions are stored in floating point. so the BigDecimal thing works too. actually i believe it still formatted to 2 decimals when i tested it on an integer value. -amy
[2006-07-18 09:52:27] - aaron: ahhh i was looking at DecimalFormat but did not understand how to use the constructor. Thank you! I'll go try it out. (even though we already sent off the thing I wrote yesterday to the client but oh well it can go in the next release) -amy

[2006-07-17 17:59:20] - a: your first solution returns "1000.0" for input "1000" and your second solution returns "1000" for input "1000"... she wants 2 decimal points so this is no good - aaron

[2006-07-17 12:14:42] - *fashioned ~a
[2006-07-17 12:13:59] - in both cases, input is double or float and return value is double. ~a
[2006-07-17 12:13:02] - amy: there's also the old fassioned: return Math.round(input*100)/100.; ~a
[2006-07-17 12:12:26] - amy: kind of dumb, but: return (new BigDecimal(input)).setScale(2,BigDecimal.ROUND_UP).doubleValue(); ~a

[2006-07-17 11:59:09] - play my game, it's fun, it's like ricochet robots but where the robot moves are Java type conversions. practically the same thing though! -amy
[2006-07-17 11:58:39] - ...finding indexOf(".") and manually creating 2 decimal points (if not worse). I was really hoping some class would have a function like: String functionname(float value, int decimalplaces); but... even if not, does anyone know of a better solution than this... in less than 6 lines? -amy
[2006-07-17 11:57:25] - actually... so yeah i got a solution that involved making a Locale, setting to US, to create a Currency, to create a DecimalFormat, then converting my float to Float to double so it could actually be formatted according to said currency in said Locale. this is almost as bad as the solution i was going to write, which involved converting to String and then... -amy
[2006-07-17 11:39:47] - Because if it doesn't, I'm not entirely sure how it's useful. Seems like it would just take up more space. -Paul
[2006-07-17 11:38:15] - aba: Maybe I'm confused, but does that device actually do anything other than hold electrical devices in place? -Paul

[2006-07-17 11:30:32] - yays found my own answer nm. -amy
[2006-07-17 11:20:20] - java question: when converting from float to String, is it possible to specify a number of decimal points? (e.g. 2, for currency...) I looked in the documentation for Float class but did not see anythign that does that (Double class as well)... -amy
[2006-07-17 10:43:55] - Vinnie: I'm not sure about optimal, but I know my 11 for today is pretty good. There might be a handful of moves that get there faster, but it would definitely require OOB thinking. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-17 10:17:22] - http://www.popgadget.net/2006/07/power_station_o_1.php this thing looks so useful! - aba
[2006-07-17 10:00:35] - 11 for today. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-17 09:49:00] - haha I thought you guys were talking about today's puzzle (Monday's). I got 11 on it, and spent a while looking for the 8. then I looked at the Hall of Fame and saw you guys got 8 for the last puzzle heh. not that I necessarily think 11 is the optimal solution to today's... - vinnie
[2006-07-15 17:56:54] - xpovos: I found 8 too, but it took me a few minutes. I was stuck at 11 for awhile. - aaron

[2006-07-14 14:37:29] - I will admit to the addiction. I found a very spiff 15 move solution. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-14 14:24:04] - (i also technically didn't get the 15, as vinnie had to give me a hint, so 16 was really my lowest answer.) -amy
[2006-07-14 14:23:12] - xpovos: i found totally unique solutions for every number from 15-21 (i didn't get the 14; vinnie had to tell it to me so that i could resume working instead of being bothered by the puzzle). my favorite was my 16 which had the blue making an almost complete circle. -amy
[2006-07-14 13:57:27] - For the fun of it I found a totally different 19 move solution. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-14 12:40:45] - s/many/some/ ~a
[2006-07-14 12:40:08] - although many of them are variations on a theme. (i.e. if it doesn't matter what order something is done in, then every possible ordering is a unique enough solution for it to be counted by me) ~a
[2006-07-14 12:38:36] - xpovos: there are 13 14 move solutions. ~a
[2006-07-14 12:36:55] - xpovos: yes. ~a
[2006-07-14 12:09:41] - a: Are there multiple 14 move solutions? Btw, I submitted mine just before posting here... -- Xpovos
[2006-07-14 12:08:58] - a: w00t! I'm seriously impressed with myself. I figured I'd gotten a third or 4th best solution because of all the moves I had to make with blue. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-14 12:06:09] - heh. here is a funny ip of a wp contributor: 12.34.246.8 ~a
[2006-07-14 11:35:43] - xpovos: the optimal solution is 14 (i didn't submit my solution this time, because i have a program, which would be cheating) ~a

[2006-07-13 09:09:31] - i have to go. ~a
[2006-07-13 09:09:16] - i honestly know nothing about squid. all i know is it IS user friendly. however, it might not be able to get through the two firewalls (which is your actual problem). it might only be for proxying (which is a different but simmilar problem). ~a
[2006-07-13 09:07:46] - you might need to do your own searching. what you're looking for is "port forwarding" and/or "tunneling". (port forwarding doesn't always mean that you're forwarding through a firewall, so make sure what it is doing is what you need) ~a
[2006-07-13 09:07:22] - a: Program Z (freeware original) is configurable to use any port, so that might work. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-13 09:06:55] - well if tommy is an idiot, then ssh will not work. i don't know any user friendly apps to do port forwarding. but that's just because i've never tried looking for one. and if you think cygwin MIGHT be user friendly enough, it isn't. i have problems with cygwin regularly. ~a
[2006-07-13 09:04:35] - also squid might do it. i've never used squid, but it says it can proxy "other urls". if your protocol fits under "other urls" then it could work. ~a
[2006-07-13 09:03:20] - a: I have never even heard of cygwin. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-13 09:02:37] - a: I have. By and large, we must assume Tommy is an idiot. Or simpler still, doesn't have admin access to the router in question. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-13 08:57:32] - have you considered configuring tommy's router? if you can do that then you can get around the issue. ~a
[2006-07-13 08:57:22] - also, fyi: ssh/sshd is not the only application that does port forwarding. i've also used a firewall to do port forwarding however this won't solve the problem of getting past tommy's router. you might look at some vpn software: w:VPN#Tunneling ~a
[2006-07-13 08:38:42] - xpovos: you actually don't need to configure sshd at all. the default configuration will work fine. as for getting sshd installed: have you ever used cygwin? ~a
[2006-07-13 08:23:47] - a: Ok, sounds good in principle, thanks for the help. Now a little more concretely... what do I need to run on the server to get ssh/sshd to work? The server runs Apache on Windows. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-12 17:05:57] - ddr_people: I have a build on Thursday evening, and I'll probably spend the rest of the time packing, so no ddr for me - vinnie
[2006-07-12 16:57:54] - xpovos: ssh publicserver -R 1234:localhost:1234. Tommy runs this command (the -N, -n, and -f commands are useful for simmilar activities too). now Billy can connect to Tommy's port 1234 by (instead) connecting to port 1234 on publicserver. ~a
[2006-07-12 16:53:52] - xpovos: Billy is trying to connect to Tommy. Tommy can run ssh (with port forwarding on, you can call this Program-Y) and connect to a publicly viewable server (sshd being what you are calling Program-X). Now Billy can connect to Tommy through the publicly viewable server. ~a
[2006-07-12 16:50:11] - xpovos: you cannot do exactly what you are talking about. you need a second program. ~a
[2006-07-12 16:44:05] - xpovos: It sounds like you're describing a proxy server to me. I think you can configure Tomcat to act as a proxy server, although I've never done it before. - aaron
[2006-07-12 15:33:07] - It sounds simple, but it's way outside the scope of my programming. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-12 15:32:55] - E.g. Billy and Tommy are both using the program behind a router, precluding the easy connection of either to the other. But they can both connect to the webserver. So they hook to Program-X, which just sends packets back and forth to Billy from Tommy and vice versa. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-12 15:31:56] - Is there any way I can set up, preferably as a standalone program on a server, a proxy which will allow two people to each connect to the proxy, but the data to be sent as if they were connected to each other? -- Xpovos
[2006-07-12 15:31:05] - Programers: There is a particular piece of free-ware closed source programming that I employ extensively. However, for all the benefits it provides, the one feature that really makes it worthwhile is faulty. It connects directly IP-2-IP. Which means people behind strong firewalls, routers, or finicky ISPs have problems using it... -- Xpovos

[2006-07-07 15:19:53] - a: Yeah, I guess 18.9 is pretty old, now that I think about it. That's after high school. Kinda depressing that I think of 18 year olds as being so young.
-Paul[2006-07-07 15:07:47] - i mean, who waits for college anymore? ~a
[2006-07-07 15:07:16] - i agree with the first half. 18.9 is pretty old. ~a
[2006-07-07 14:43:39] - I also would've thought fewer sexual partners and also a higher age of losing virginity. But I guess I'm a prude.
-Paul[2006-07-07 14:42:18] - a: Well, the average was high, but if you look at the breakdown by percentages, it looks like one guy with $50k in his wallet skewed the average.
-Paul[2006-07-07 14:41:22] - a: I was most surprised by #22 and #27. I found the "admirable" categories to be interesting, although I don't think I am particularly fond of any of the people there. -Paul
[2006-07-07 14:39:55] - i would have thought: a lot fewer atheist&agnostics, a lot less cash in our pockets, and a lot fewer sexual partners. ~a
[2006-07-07 14:38:28] - i was most surprised by #11, #25, and #27. ~a
[2006-07-07 14:37:13] - heh. i hate pretty much everybody in the "most admirable" and "least admirable" categories. ~a
[2006-07-07 14:36:49] - a: I didn't find the first page as interesting.
-Paul[2006-07-07 14:35:56] - paul: you skipped the first page. ~a

- aba[2006-07-05 18:15:06] - What does "sexually libertarian" mean? I like the sound of it, but I don't quite know what it means.
-Paul[2006-07-05 17:53:38] - a: What exactly did you think was sexist in the beginning? -Paul
[2006-07-05 17:51:40] - aba: It was an interesting read, though. -Paul
[2006-07-05 17:51:20] - aba: I can't tell exactly when that link is trying to be serious and trying to be funny. Regardless, I don't think I'm "hip" enough to follow those rules so I'll just keep going through life living by my own rules.
-Paul[2006-07-05 17:46:41] - well maybe just the beginning. ~a
[2006-07-05 17:25:39] - aba: god that whole article is so damn sexist and regressive. ~a
[2006-07-05 17:19:31] - "Who pays the bill on a date? The asker pays, unless the woman does the asking—then the man should pay." I know this is written like this for same sex couples, but I still thought it was funny. -Paul

[2006-07-05 16:25:26] - a: Yeah, it's not like this would be a good way to keep in touch with somebody who lives across the country.
-Paul[2006-07-05 16:18:16] - good thing he never reads the message board anymore i guess. ~a

[2006-07-05 15:39:49] - a: Will Pierce change it that much?
-Paul[2006-07-05 15:23:46] - paul: one person doesn't change the center off mass by much (even if you're as far out as dave). ~a
[2006-07-05 15:17:48] - a: Also, it seems interesting that nobody seems to live remotely close to the center of mass.
-Paul[2006-07-05 15:17:16] - a: I guess I'm surprised that AR+JR = DT. -Paul
[2006-07-05 15:14:56] - and no, it doesn't actually account for people's weights. i'd have to guess everybody's weights for that to work. ~a

[2006-07-05 14:44:10] - Sam: My guess would be Best Buy but I'm not sure. -Paul
[2006-07-05 14:43:53] - Xpovos: Can't we use somebody else, like Paris Hilton maybe? -Paul
[2006-07-05 14:34:59] - which store has more computer related stuff? circuit city or bestbuy? -sam
[2006-07-05 14:33:47] - Paul: Well, clearly she is the sacrifical young thing we offer up to all sex offenders so that they leave the rest of society alone. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-05 14:08:32] - a: I'm not sure that I follow. -Paul
[2006-07-05 13:35:04] - yes, emma watson. ~a

[2006-07-05 09:49:09] - Hmm. That sounds familiar.
[2006-07-05 09:36:57] - xpovos: just look at the filename. "http://aporter.org/pics/aaron/kingsdominion/Pierce and Lisa are on the boat somewhere.jpg" ~a

[2006-07-05 09:28:37] - a: As I said yesterday, ar&jr. And even with my significant figure raises, I'm still lagging way behind there. -- Xpovos
[2006-07-05 08:45:56] - paul: he's 40. with a 5% raise per year, you'd need to be at 61k/year at age 25 to be making 127k/year at age 40. with a 6% raise per year, you'd need to be at 53k/year at age 25. 7%, 46k/year. ~a

[2006-06-30 14:53:07] - samvosmy: I couldn't agree more. If we outlawed cars, not only would a lot less people die, but we could also put a serious dent in global warming. I don't see what the negatives to this are. -Paul
[2006-06-30 14:27:26] - sam: you should stop watching those movies everytime you do god causes a high school teen to get pregnant. -amy

[2006-06-30 14:26:08] - Paul: actually i think cars should be outlawed entirely. because people die as a result of cars. -amy

[2006-06-30 14:10:14] - she was still a senior in highschool when she had the baby -sam
[2006-06-30 14:08:40] - something very ironic... last night watched a movie about a mother and her illegitimate child. after i watched that movie, i talked to a friend on AIM and he said his little sister (17yrs old) had a baby about a month ago, and she was not married.... -sam
[2006-06-30 14:07:29] - sam: Foooooooood! -- Xpovos
[2006-06-30 14:05:02] - how about just bicycles? no fuel required. -sam
[2006-06-30 13:45:56] - A roof is a luxury, only motorcycles will be allowed, they're far more fuel efficient anyway... and can you imagine the mileage a hyrbid motorcycle would get (once the miniaturization gets to that level). -- Xpovos
[2006-06-30 13:36:56] - Amy: Definitely. We should only be allowed to drive cars alone and with no luxeries at all. -Paul
[2006-06-30 13:23:37] - Paul: And I think I heard a study that having 3 passengers in your car was more dangerous than listening to the radio. So obviously they need to pass law against cell phones, radios, and passengers while driving. -amy
[2006-06-30 13:02:29] - ARG!!!!! GER!!!!
[2006-06-30 10:53:34] - :grr: so glad I didn't buy Ford stock. American motor companies are killing themselves. Where's the ferret among the dinosaurs? -- Xpovos
[2006-06-30 10:30:14] - a: I have a suggestion of what you could do with the map which I think would be useful. You could make it so that a person could pick two locations and it would provide directions from one to the other. -Paul

[2006-06-30 10:20:22] - a: Yeah, it might also help if there was some more information for locations rather than just initials. Do we have a two character limit or something? -Paul
[2006-06-30 10:19:51] - Sam: I remember reading a study that said listening to the radio was as dangerous as talking on a cell phone. I wonder if that means it's as dangerous as drunk driving as well. -Paul
[2006-06-30 10:09:50] - amy: Oh, that's what the tj was. See tj and I'm thinking it's some friend with the initials tj. TJ and it's clearly TJ.
