Yeah, you'll almost never use them.

Real - number that is rational or irrational but not imaginary.

Rational - a number that can be expressed as an integer or quotient (not
with a divisor of 0)

Irrational - any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two
integers

Surreal - The most natural collection of numbers which includes both the
real numbers and the infinite ordinal numbers... Yeah, I didn't like
this chapter but here's what my book says;

Surreal notation {a|b}, where {|} = 0, {0|} = 1 is the simplest number
greater than 0, {1|} = 2 is the simplest number greater than 1.
Similarly the number 5 can be represented as such: {4|6}, {4/w}, etc.
Not sure if I got all the information, I paraphrased.

Imaginary - a complex number in which i != 0.

Hope that helps you... if it matters? LoL

Oh, that'd be such a dream. Dreams come with a hefty price... with the
types of objects that people use in AW, portal rendering would kill the
processor with a thousand spoons if not a thousand chunks of silly putty
too.

I knew portals weren't supported directly last time I had looked at RenderWare in detail, but that was a while back, and I thought that had changed. I guess not.

Yeah it figures as such. I can say that would be the number one thing
that needs to be implemented in a real time rendering system.

Sometimes you don't even need to restart the program (as long as it has
the ability to read changes without restarting)

[View Quote] Your theory is flawed. If they know the word, saying it is not
introducing a new idea to their head. They know the word, they know it
has the meaning it has, saying it does not redfined the words meaning.
Saying does little else than putting collective thoughts together in a
coherent manner.

Simply put: A is defined as milk. Charlie knows what milk is and knows
that A equals milk. Frank says A, charlie assumes Frank has said milk.
Gatekeeper 121 is lactose intolerant, and bans the word A. Frank says
A, Gatekeeper 121 ejects Frank, Charlie assumes that milk is the wrong word.

This is a classic distributive property. Banning the word A does not
remove Charlie's knowledge of what A is, or what milk is. Therefore
banning certain does not "ruin" a childs innocence or whatever the
excuse is. If the person knows the meaning behind the word, they have
nothing to "ruin," excluding their current ego.

I'm glad we're on the same page. But, Ebonics isn't the language it's
tagged from. This sort of Ebonics of Ebonics stems from Snoop Dog's
"For Shizzle my nizzle" saying, which basically takes a words beginning
letter and strips the rest out and replaces with izzle (sometimes an
extra letter to get the proper sound from the first letter).

For Shizzle my nizzle is snoop-slang for "For sure my nigger." I'm
sorry if I burst anyones bubble with the "N-word" but it's what black
homies call each other.
