The Worlds Longest Thread!

to get it going check this link out http://www.funny-funny-pictures.com/insanity

They need to put a link at the end of each thread on the main page for the second or third page of replys if there is more than just one page of replies to a thread. It takes a while to see the end of this thread if i have to click the link then goto the second page from there. It would take longer if there are more than two or three pages.

more posts for me!

34 more posts till i get an avatar :)

HA... so are you just gonna post 34 replies to this thread? it could work... and we'd get the record a lot faster.:eek:

well tazjam only if it's fine with everyone else.

Hey Kezil, i can make an avatar for you. I made my own avatar and if you like the workmanship I'll make you one. Just email me or catch me online to get it touch with me.
:hiphop:

hey, I dont post much, lol not at all really. I am just here to read really but I think it would be cool if everyone posted. Also I think we should just try to keep it one post per person and see how many we can get. Anyhow keep the post alive guys and gals.:thumbsup:

While I'm at it, I really do love this smilie, and don't get a lot of opportunties to use it, sooooooooo :hippy:

There..now I'm a part of it. I will forever we in the history books containing "The worlds longest thread". Well it a cool idea anyhow. :cool:

Just Keeping This On Top!!!!!!!!!!
And Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!

hrms...just adding to the list!
BTW lord of the rings came out... yesterday in new zeland! And in four days it's getting released here!! Crazy!~!~!!~
I reccommend everyone to watch it! When does it get released in the US? (if it hasn't already)
:D

Happy Holidays to all:) To keep this thread going maybe we should all write a story??? one post at a time..:rolleyes: ..I'll start ..
Once upon time in a land far away...

So did you think all posts here were going to be useless? I decided to prevent that by reposting my Basic programming tutorial here.


So you heard a long time ago about some programming language called QBasic. This language isn't used much anymore except in its new incarnation as visual basic. If you learn QBasic, vb is quite simple. So what am I going to show you today? How to write a simple program in QBasic. First of all Basic stands for "Quick Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code" and was developed in the 1960's as a simple way to learn programming. This first simple program will use multiplication to find the area of a room.

First of all the program in its entirety:


CLS
INPUT "Please enter the length"; Length
INPUT "Please enter the width"; Wdth
LET Area = Length * Wdth
PRINT "The area is"; Area
END

QBasic is a very simple language, and for those programmers who are reading this that have never dealt with QBasic, this is an unstructured programming language meaning that you can use the GOSUB command to jump around to any place in the program at any time. Many experienced programmers do not like this feature, but when I took a class for this, it saved my life while writing programs. Also in this language there is no need to declare variables. Now I will explain the program line by line.

CLS
This command tells QBasic to clear the screen. Often times this is needed because old data from the same program doesnt automatically disappear.

INPUT "Please enter the length "; Length
This tells Basic to accept input from the user, and displays a message with the text in it. This user input is then assigned to the numeric variable "Length".

INPUT "Please enter the width "; Wdth
This is the same as the "Length" variable except one thing. If you havent noticed Ive been misspelling the variable "Wdth". This is because the word "Width is a word that is reserved.

LET Area = Length * Wdth
This is the mathematical function in the program. Once again since the variables don't have to be declared, it is easy to use "Area".

PRINT "The area is"; Area
Shows on the screen the sentence followed by the results of your calculation.

END
After you are finished you must tell QBasic that the program is finished. This is accomplished using the "END" command.

A program of a similar nature written in java, or C++ would have taken a longer to write and more code. There is a lot more to QBasic, but this should get you started on your way. I feel that QBasic still has use as a teaching aid and that it is important to learn. If you need a QBasic compiler, Microsoft has a small one known as QBasic. There isnt anywhere free to find it except inside a textbook at the public library. If there are any mistakes in my post feel free to correct them.

In addition to those QBasic commands that are shown above I decided to add that a string variable(words or letters) can be identified by the "$" sign located at the end of it. An input string statement would look like this:

INPUT "Enter your name"; Name$

Next I will go over the goto command for QBasic, its called "GOSUB". This command enables you to go to a subroutine which is similar to a function in C++, and a method in Java. I will use the previous program to demonstrate how to use the subroutine. First the complete program.


CLS
GOSUB MainRoutine
END

MainRoutine:
INPUT "Please enter the length"; Length
INPUT "Please enter the width"; Wdth
LET Area = Length * Wdth
PRINT "The area is"; Area
RETURN


The main difference between this and the original program is:

GOSUB MainRoutine
This tells QBasic to jump to the part of the program with the name that is indicated.

MainRoutine:
This tells QBasic that the subroutine begins here.

RETURN
This tells QBasic to return to the main section. Unlike other programming languages, the data from within the subroutine is automatically available for use by other routines and the main program.

hey merry christmas to all of u ...enjoy holidays.....

intruder..:borg:

Now its time for some opinions. First of all Microsoft. Im not gonna bash them half as bad as you would think. I dont hate Microsoft, I just hate the problems that their software has caused me. Let me tell you that before a couple of months ago I would swear by windows 98se. It had never crashed on me and the problems that others had never happened to me. Then one day after my computer had been on for a few days, the modem just wouldnt respond. I went to control panel to test it and I had my first blue screen of death on this computer. Well I had to restart, and when I did my cd burner wouldnt work. After 2 weeks of playing I finally had everything working again, but it required a reinstall. This pissed me off so bad and the fact that XP was coming out and they promised more stability, but wanted to charge an arm and a leg for it that I decided to make windows a backup OS and use linux most of the time. I had to buy a new modem and ask some stupid questions here but it finally works great. Now I already here about huge security problems with XP and am so glad I decided to take a less traveled path.

My next opinion is on the movie "Not Another Teen Movie". My friends dragged me to this horrible excuse for a spoof. There were scenes in the movie(especially with Randy Quaid) where I knew it was supposed to be a joke, but it simply was not funny. For the Hollywood directors reading this, take example from Robin Hood Men in Tights, Spaceballs, and The Naked Gun. These movies are good examples of a spoof done right.

Finally my opinion of Mountain Dew. All hail the sweet liquid born from the mountains. Water pales in comparison to you in all your glory. Addiction is worth the daily intake of 6 gallons of your sweet nectar. Oh yeah code red dew is cool too.

I figure I could at least say something useless to keep this at the top.
¿If you wait till the last minute, it only takes a minute?

this is the 1/10 of my contribution
bye

Hi Guys!

Just keeping this on top! :)

A blessed day to all and Merry Christmas!

For all the kids out there you can visit Santa on the web. The adress (one of them all :)) are www.northpole.com.

Kind regards,
Santas little helper,

:D Happy Yule Tide to all . Posting to keep the thread going. Heres a bad joke. One day a man stopped off at a florist to pick up some roses for his wife.As the clerk was putting the finishing touches on the bouquet a young man rushed in and breathlessly requested a dozen red roses.
"I`m sorry" said the clerk "This man just ordered our last ones". The desperate customer turned to the man and begged"May I please have those roses?"
"What happened " asked the man "Did you forget your wedding anniversary?"
"Its even worst than that" he confided "I crashed my wife`s hard drive!"

here's a small contribution to the never-ending thread.

merry c'mas everybody keep it up :p

My prediction of Four pages is shattered as I post this along the very fifth page!

Where is the dude that started it?

I just drank a carton of eggnog and ate a cheese log I'm gunnu be backed up for a week.

;) :p

Hello to everyone here.
Just thought it a good oppurtunity to wish everyone here a Happ Eid. Eid-Mubarak!!

Talking about computer jokes...:) I got this from http://www.newscientist.com



Computer crack funnier than many human jokes


09:50 20 December 01
Will Knight


An experiment to uncover the world's funniest jokes has found that some computer-generated gags can be more amusing than those thought up by humans.

The Laugh Lab survey is being conducted through a web site, on which members of the public are invited to submit favourite jokes and rate other submissions. They are also asked to contribute information about themselves.

Five computer-generated gags were contributed by researchers at Edinburgh University's computer science laboratory. These are characterised by simple word play and most were voted to be very poor, such as "What kind of line has sixteen balls? A pool cue!".

However one computer gag: "What kind of murderer has moral fibre? A cereal killer," did surprisingly well, ranking higher than a third of all other jokes.


Computer cracker


Jason Rutter, a research fellow at Manchester University, says: "Humour is a very interesting way to look at artificial intelligence because at some point something has to have two meanings, which is not easy to do with a computer."

Laugh Lab organiser Richard Wiseman, of the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, points out that the computers used to create the entries are programmed to play with the meaning of words but are not able to judge funniness themselves. He suggests that, were a computer able to do this, it could perhaps be considered intelligent. "It might be the ultimate Turing test," he says.

The Laugh Lab web site received around 100,000 visitors from 69 different countries, which makes this an exceptionally large study, says Wiseman. One drawback is that there is no way to verify that the personal information submitted by visitors is accurate. But Wiseman believes that this would affect only a very small proportion of contributions.


Elementary jokes


Wiseman admits that the most popular joke overall, about Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson on a camping trip (Check it out here), could hardly be used as a weapon of mass hilarity, but blames an averaging process. "With the top jokes, you really have the ones that most people found reasonably funny," he says.

But Wiseman believes that the data gathered through the project will provide new insight into links between humour, psychology and society.

He says that the results so far add weight to previous humour research by indicating that certain jokes appeal more to men and women and different jokes are more popular in different countries. The survey found that men preferred more aggressive jokes, as well as sexual innuendo, while women preferred word play. Wiseman says: "Perhaps this tells us something about their brain function."

But Wiseman says it is unclear at this stage why certain jokes should be more popular in different countries or if this is due to national differences at all.

The survey will now enter a second stage in which visitors will be asked to contribute more detailed information about themselves. Wiseman also hopes that visitors also find a funnier joke than the current number one.

Just contributing again. What's up everybody?

Just messing about with Flash trying to make something interesting!

Hello everyone to see this post wen up well, just giving it another boost!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year everybody :hello: :thumbsup:

Six pages is quite good, almost there. I think someone needs to post a few storys. I would volanteer but I can't write stories to save my sorry ass!!!! Merry X-Mas everyone. Hope santas friendly!
