it would suck... but the world owners can do what they want. But if you are
a nice world owner, you wouldn't do something like this.

[View Quote] I think rating at X and using a bot to tell everyone who enters something
like "you MUST be 18 years or older to be in this world. If you are younger,
leave now" is enough. If someone stays after this warning, it's their own
problem.

If you want to go for asking, you don't have to ask for someone's age.
Asking if someone is 18 or older is enough. That way nobody has to give
their age away.

What is gor anyway?

[View Quote] your solution has a complexity of N^2... how about an O(N) (linear
complexity) one? :-) I think it's possibe, but might be slightly harder to
make.

[View Quote] Correction: you now find it complex. I haven't seen anything I consider far
from "easy" yet. I think this says more about your skill level. And what
exactly did you find "complex"? (hint: you might learn something)

And was this "put everything in random order" indeed your idea of scramble,
as fox thought?

Also, coding time doesn't really matter at all. Often it's best to put in
lots of time, and think about things a bit. Compare "I coded it in under 10
minutes but it's slow and might still contain a few bugs" and "I coded it in
90 mins and is as fast as it can get, and has seen quite a lot of tests".
People who brag at how fast they can code really don't impress me.

Brandon said it was easy. You replied with "You think it was ez?",
implicating you didn't consider it easy. Later on you said you had to use an
OCX, etc. Then fox showed how it could be done in an easy way. The whole
point? You seem to be doing it in a way too complicated way.

Yeah, sure. And then 15 mins to debug it?

You first say it's complicated, and then that you did it in less than fox's
time. Smells like bragging.

Well, no, we just asked why you did it in such a complex way, and you didn't
like that.

Don't even try imagining it...

> is ur point?

Why doing it the complicated way?

> I just stated simple things and you morons hound me about it..

If you just said what we asked for, instead of trying to evade it every
time, it would be a lot easier for you.

Won't make much difference.

Actually, he just posted his version of "scramble". So what? The more
versions, the better.

[View Quote] hm... in pseudo code:

For every element in the string
pick a random element somewhere in the string and swap.

This would operate in the string itself, so it would need no extra memory
(apart from an integer as index and a char as temporary swap storage). Also,
it would have O(n) complexity. So, it should be fast for both very small and
very large strings.

Feb 23, 2001, 5:57pm

[View Quote] um, no :-) that's a bit too much. In general, you should keep in the parts
of the original post you directly reply to, so others can easily see what
you are responding to, and snip out parts of the message that have nothing
to do with what you are replying to (especially look at earlier quoted stuff
that isn't relevant anymore, and signatures), and parts that are really
large (in that case you can snip out part of it and replace it with <snip>
or something so people can see you edited it). It's all about a balance
between easy readability and size. Snip out too much and it becomes hard to
see the context of the things you write, leave in too much and it becomes
hard to read because of the clutter.
