Since we missed comic 60000, this will have to do.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

Gasp! I hope Brad's using long ints!

Well, that's over 50,000 comics on stripcreator now. But I wonder, is the system only equipped to do 16-bit integers? What'll happen when we hit 65,536? With my l33t skills, I'll hack in and find out! Let's see...if(!gets(l))exit(0);return(o=='Y'||o!='n'&&u(s);}{for(k=c;*k!='J';)if(m==*k++)break;m=k-c;if(v You don't know what you're doing, do you? Not a clue. But I did post the goatse.cx guy on a Teletubbies fanboard.

I know this sounds stupid, but I don't get it.

65536 = 2^16 = 64k

I don't remember exactly why the computer industry refers to 65536 as 64k or to 1024 KB as 1 MB rather than 1.024 MB.

(By the way, while 1 megabyte does not equal 1,000,000 bytes, 1 megabit does equal 1,000,000 bits. Go figure.)

Now I remember why they call it 64k. 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes. They decided to round that off to 1,000, or 1KB, when discussing that value. 64KB is just 64 * 1KB.

Wirthling Is a Colossal Geek by gabe_billings 3-07-02

By the way, while 1 megabyte does not equal 1,000,000 bytes, 1 megabit does equal 1,000,000 bits. Wow... I thought he was gonna go on forever. How many times did you hit him with that hammer? 2 kilowhacks. Now I can't remember if that 2000 smacks or 2048.

100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

Actually, I considered continuing on but I thought better of it.

But what the hell...

It should be noted that "kilobytes" and "megabytes" are used to refer to storage while "kilobits" and "megabits" are used to refer to transfer rates. Data tends to be stored and moved around inside a machine in byte-sized pieces. 8 bits or multiples of 8 bits are stored, retrieved, and transmitted in parallel inside the CPU, RAM, system bus, etc. On the other hand, not all information being passed across a medium from one machine to another is in the form of byte-sized pieces, so it makes some sense to count the individual bits.

Furthermore, one only need blah at blah industry blah blah recognize blah blah blah intrinsic blah blah socks blah when I was four blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

To help celebrate the 1000th topic, here is a fun song about Australian tourism. It's about 1.2MB, and hosted on my ISPs webspace, so don't expect a wonderful download rate. It's by a couple of Aussie musical comedians called the Scared Weird Little Guys. If you're ever at an international comedy festival anywhere and they are performing, I highly recommend them. The song's very funny, and worth the download.

and to think that I was going to move to Australia to finish my degree in August.

Although, at least it's a more interesting way to go than having a Stroke, Cancer or Heart Disease....assuming I don't get my legs cut off when I'm still alive and have the rest of my corpse dumped around various tourist attractions in Scotland.

Just to make you feel better, funnelwebs are only found around Sydney, and you _don't_ want to live in Sydney. I have been on more holidays to places with beaches and rockpools than you can shake a snorkel at, but I have never seen a blue-ringed octopus. I've seen two snakes and three redback spiders in my whole life, and the only sharks I have seen were little white-tipped reef sharks on the barrier reef, which were small enough that you could feed them and pat them.

Still, the song's a cack. :)

Okay, quick guide to the cities listed on that site:

Adelaide: Famous for being one of the most quiet and dull places in Oz. It's really quite a large city, about a million and a half people, but it has no night life to speak of (except for a very nice casino). Still, very pleasant, lots of parks, but not a party town by any stretch of the imagination. For some odd reason, Adelaide and its surrounds harbour more serial killers than any other place in Australia.

Auckland: Not in Australia. Ignore.

Brisbane: Northerly, relatively warm, famous for its beaches. Once a year, at the end of high school classes, it (and nearby Surfers Paradise) fill up with literally thousands upon thousands of students on the school holiday (called Schoolies Week). Personally, I think Brisbane sucks, but I can't really explain why... I just don't like the place.

Hobart: Australia's little capital, down in Tasmania. I've never been there, but I know that it is very quiet, the kind of place where the shops close at 5pm and don't open at all on Sundays. It's also quite cold, and is the only Australian capital city which gets snow most winters. Tasmania itself is jammed full of gorgeous scenery, but Hobart is not a very happening place.

Melbourne: I have had mixed feelings about Melbourne for quite a few years. This wasn't always the case - when I first moved here in 1994, I fucking hated it. I now hate it and love it in almost equal measure. The weather is freakish and utterly unpredictable. The TV weather man might as well use a dowsing rod for a pointer. Even so, it has great culture (three international film festivals, a comedy festival, at least two major arts festivals, etc) and really good restaurants, cafes and bars. That said, it is an expensive fucker to live in, though far cheaper than Sydney.

This coming from a guy who lives in fucking Frankston...

Perth: Another place I have never visited, but I have several e-friends who live there, and friends and relatives who have visited. Basically, it is relatively cheap, has nice weather, a reasonable night-life, and is within driving distance of some absolutely amazing natural beauty. The main problem with Perth is that it is way the fuck over the other side of a very large country, and is about 3000km from its nearest neighbouring capital. Compare this to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane which are all less than a day apart by train (well, maybe not Brisbane - it's a bit further away). Here, have a look...

Sydney: Well... it's a great place, lots of fun, with a great night life. Then there are its flaws - high pollution, overcrowding, overloaded road system, and a ludicrously high cost of living. Then again, great beaches, close access to a lot of wonderful coastline, and the beautiful Great Dividing Range... I hate driving in Sydney, and the polluted air gives me a sore throat, but it is a great place to visit.

It depresses me to admit it, but Melbourne is probably the best of the lot to live in, but go to Sydney for holidays. :)
