I've always liked the number one, it just seems more unique than any of the others.

Also, someone opened a can of awesome within PD.
Lord Byron: "Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves."

Nigel saying the wisest words ever uttered: "It's just a suffix."

"The worst forum ever" "The most mediocre forum on the internet" "The dumbest forum on the internet" "The most retarded forum on the internet" "The lamest forum on the internet" "The coolest forum on the internet"

I've asked this question before, but



Did I Make, or Discover this fractal image?

LMNO

It depends.  How was it generated?

Cramulus

I used a computer program called chaospro

this is actually two fractal images overlaid, definitely an artistic choice. But aside from that, pretend this was just a straight zoom into the mandlebrot.

:thanks:

You shall pay for your crimes one fine day, Cain.



Does the probability of my punishment also approach one, given sufficient time?

You made that image, using the program. You then discovered what it looks like, because your math isn't as good as the computer's.

Wait a minute... aren't tools considered part of the extended mind?

LMNO

I said nothing of the sort.

That depends on what IT is I should think.

I think we just said what it is, you jabbering fucking lackwit.  I think it's, you know, RIGHT IN THE FUCKING POST TITLE.

You.

FUCKING.

Moron.

Math doesn't have mass ya dillweed!  Objects have mass like yer overwhelming, if not well earned, EGO!

Sir, my ego is made from neutronium.  Yours would be too, if you remembered a thing or two.

I remember lotsa things...except what happened last week...and maybe most of the latter 80's, but that was because I spent the ages of 16 to 21 drunk.  But still I remember...stuff...and things.  :lulz:

Er sorry, my comment seems to make no sense at all, and I have no idea what I was originally thinking.

But not the RIGHT stuff and things.  Your ego is a small, weak thing that yearns to be some Godzilla-esque monstrosity that exists only TO STOMP MONKEYS FLAT AND SHIT ON THE RESULTING STAIN!  You forgot that you're a goddamn SUPERMAN, a fucking GOD that dwells on this planet for the sole purpose of SMITING THE UNWORTHY AND STOMPING OFF SET, HOWLING AND ROARING LIKE THE FUCKING BEAST YOU ARE.

When you remember that, and stop filling your kidneys full of poison and your brain full of Conspiracy programming, THEN you can claim that you remember.

Until then, you're just another monkey.

Been off the sauce for years ya angry old fart, as for programming, you might want to think about what its fuckin like with noone to talk to except the fuckin monkeys.  You have folks that have had their eyes opened, i have to dig for tid bits of truth and glean what I can from websites like this while dealing with your jack assery.  But thanks for sharing.
