Pretty neat little thing going on there with the postcount. Random to the extreme but sorta cool anyway just because... I dunno, because it's new? Yeah, just thought I'd say that I really like it.
-
To think: I never got past Ursa before they changed it. :(
;)
-
Cool
Nice feature!

They were Shivan ship classes a few days ago...
-
I would like powers of e better. :D
-
And here I thought you'd be the one most excited about it...
-
It is cool, just that it could be better. :D
Although the ~ should be replaced by < or something. ~ means the limit of the quotient goes to 1 and makes little sense there. :p
-
[postcount] << Inf

I believe they were going for the symbol for approximately equal. Also, it should be >, not <, as it's the power of 2 below your postcount.

You are such a math nerd. :p :D
Yes, I know his math background. Hence, this was teh funneh.

hurrah!

The trouble with this is that it really tapers off. There's thousands of posts between 210 and 212 so there's no real progression there for the long term members.

You're right, I just noticed. ≈ is the approximately equals sign, but > would be better since you could have 8191 posts and it would still say 8191 ≈ 212 even though 213 is 8192.

I suppose you have come to expect that by now. :D

We also need the lvlshot tags fixed, for that matter. The celebration thread is looking kind of messed up at the moment, especially with my oversized screenshots.
-
cooool! :D
for us comp sci guys that is great. :yes:

Cool, nice and nifty (Just posting to see mine :D)

/me grins like a cheschire cat and looks at Sandy :p

I guess 2 and e is the difference between a CS guy and a math guy. :D

What's broke about them??
-
They don't actually resize the image at all. It just gets shown in the normal size but is cropped on the right. Here is an example: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,35883.50.html
[edit] oh wait, they do resize it, just not the whole way. Something's off in any case. :)

wow this is like a whole new ranking system,
I guess 2 and e is the difference between a CS guy and a math guy. :D
silence ye lowly 12'th power, do not defy my 13'th might!
but realy it tells you in a glance just were you are on the posting food chain, I'm 2^13 you are 2^12 so you know right away I have made twice as many posts as you.
...:p
-
The perfect thing for a collection of sci-fi/math/science/odds&ends/random people!
-

Engineers are superior. :p

:lol:
You make me laugh, Bob. :p Anyway, glad you guys like the new system.

Quoted for truth ;)
-
Engineers are superior.
Engineers mostly use e as well, so it's a moot point. :p

It just happens to be that way in this case. As I said before, if I had 8191 and you had 8192, it would still show the same thing. :p
-
Engineers use what works :p
If it happens to be e, so be it. And as for us using e, I haven't used it yet. The formulas I've seen within my major had things like:
N = Ns * erfc(x / sqrt(dt))
-
Which is typically e, since linear DEs frequently have solutions containing those (and constant coefficient ones always do). erfc is really just an integral of e-x² with some normalizing factor added in.
-
Poor example. Didn't know about the e in there as I'm a freshmen still, so we used a graphical solution. In that case, that's the only one involving e, then.
Incidentally, if anyone wants to know what that formula is, it's for calculating diffusion in silicon.

Get a screenshot for me, please. It looks fine in Firefox...
