DO IT!
OH GOD NO!
By the way, when I had to change the password for my university account yesterday, the system reported "Error: password too long".Originally Posted by dwks
Ah, never mind. Then we'd get into discussing passwords, which I'd rather not.
How's that supposed to increase security?

Me neither, as mine is only 1 character (and it's in the alphabet). :-)
Oh well, define illegal.

Its only illegal if you get caught
Woop?
>> That's illegal. :-(
Well, that depends on the locality, of course. Oddly enough, it was made illegal in the US simply because it threatened paper (lumber) interests (as new processes were being developed that would make it competitive in that market).
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
Plastics. Not so much lumber.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
No, it was mostly to do with lumber. Dupont came up with a method of bleaching pulp to make it more useful as quality paper instead of just newsprint. Previous to that, a lot of paper was hemp, eg, the US Constitution. Newsprint was an exception, and that in turn became threatened by new methods in hemp production which made it competitive with pulp. William Randolph Hurst (Citizen Kane) was heavily invested in lumber and the Dupont process. He and Dupont funded a public smear campaign (which must have been easy, since Hurst owned most of the daily newspapers) that pulled racist strings (eg, that blacks and latinos used marijuana to sedate and seduce white women), which in pre WWII America was probably akin to a sure bet. Most people didn't care about dope, but they would rally around the clan every chance they got.

I think 55x55 is plenty big enough - who really wants to see a 100x100 fuzzy face with bleeding eyes??

Agreed!

I'm sure that's below the minimum password length limit.
I attached the avatar I would use with the first post, notice how it's smaller than the gray space

Weed was not made illegal recreationally due to it's industrial issues. There are about a hundred thousand chemicals and substances that are legal in industry but illegal for the common citizen to have and/or use.
Citing the industrial side of the argument as the sole reason it was made illegal for consumers is a bit short-sighted.
the discussion is leading towards the hemp side, which is illegal and cannot be smoked

No, that was a side effect of the Hurst campaign. This is not a hard leap to make, Bubba. Hurst's papers really did run these articles (vis, marijuana and adultery with minorities), that was what really what made banning "dr. feelgood" a winning "majority" political platform, and Hurst really was invested in PULP and paper and Dupont. They benefited *immensely* from that.

Do you mean to say that big business,with the aid of political backing, lied to people in order to protect their business interests rather than act for the betterment of the population and planet? Yeah, right. Next you'll be saying that smoking causes cancer when Philip Morris has already told us that's not true.......
^^That was to illustrate a point that considering that we are STILL being lied to by those who would rather protect their business interests over anything else. So why is it so far fetched that in the 1930's when people were much more ignorant (correct usage in context) that business interests came before anything else and "arguments" were accepted without question, especially if the argument was that it must be bad because the negroes are doing it!
It seems that Sebastiani's relative was one of the few forward thinking people of the time, but as a minority and without any political backing his ideas would probably have been discounted as "outlandish".
But anyway - on topic. First animated avatars, now wanting bigger avatars. What next? Why can't you be happy that you have an avatar at all.
