SDF Max value in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, April 23 2006 15:33 Profile Homepage #5 The simplest and most accurate thing to do as far as storing large numbers in SDFs is simply use two SDFs as the digits of a base-256 number (or base-250 to stay safely away from maximums). Say, flags (250,0) and (250,1): set_flag(250,0,coins_amount() / 250); // tens digit set_flag(250,1,coins_amount() % 250); // ones digit Thus the total numbers of coins stored is (get_flag(250,0) * 250) + get_flag(250,1).

"Policing" ourselves? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, April 22 2006 05:37 Profile Homepage #45 Well, this brings me back to an issue dear to my heart: telling the truth in schools. There is a movement right now to prevent teachers from giving their students full and accurate information, since such information may not be viewed as compatible with a certain political or religious viewpoint (i.e., intelligent design instead of evolution, abstinence-only instead of a complete sex-ed program, etc.). I think that it is a terrible idea to tell teachers that they can't tell students all the facts. Getting specific again, I think that the Holocaust must be covered in every high school. People should know not just that Hitler "hated the Jews," but also that he slaughtered 6 million Jews and 5 million others, and people should get some sense of what that means. The "Final Solution" was in place for just about six years, during which the Central European Jewish community experienced the equivalent of a 9/11 every day. For six years. People need to understand the Holocaust, because people need to understand what genocide is, so that when someone tries to bring about another one (Darfur), we can unite to stop it. We can fight ignorance is with facts. Almost no one who actually understands what happened in Germany under the Nazis can truly feel that it should happen again. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

"Policing" ourselves? in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, April 21 2006 21:47 Profile Homepage #41 facepalm It's astonishing how much misinformation there is out there, particularly about the pre-Israel status of the land that is now Israel. It was definitely inhabited, and it was definitely inhabited mostly by Muslims. Indeed, the primary problem right now preventing peace (other than boundary-drawing) is the question of what to do with the Palestinian refugees driven out by Jewish settlers at one time or another, and there's a LOT of them. That's not a value judgment on the actions of the Israelis Jews as a whole, but simply a statement of a demographic fact. As has been mentioned, it's rather impossible to compare Hitler, Stalin, and the Jews. It's possible, however, to compare Hitler, Stalin, and Ben-Gurion, and in that comparison, Ben-Gurion comes out more than an order of magnitude better. Hitler was responsible for the execution of 11 million, Stalin for 20-25 million. Ben-Gurion was responsible for the creation of perhaps as many as 1 million refugees, but altogether not many deaths. What I find most interesting about the story of the 1948 war is that other Arabs sold out the Palestinians just as much as they fought against Israel. Also, I'd hesitate before taking Middle Eastern political leaders at their word with regard to Israel; if we can doubt that Bush's primary motivation in starting the Iraq War was to spread democracy, then we can doubt that every last Muslim would be willing to join in war against Israel tomorrow if the opportunity presented itself. EDIT: And anyone who thinks that Hitler was "not such a bad guy" is either grossly underinformed or viciously racist.

Pronunciation in The Exile Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, April 21 2006 12:31 Profile Homepage #12 The "laiken" pronunciation of "lichen" is the only one of which the OED approves. As far as how C was pronounced in Old English, there's something of an issue of which OE you're talking about. I was under the impression that most C palatalizations (before front vowels, for instance: cêse -> cheese) took place during the Old English period, because they show up in Middle English orthography but not in Old English orthography. I am not by any means an Anglo-Saxonist, however, so I don't know for certain. Wikipedia would have this info. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Pronunciation in The Exile Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, April 21 2006 06:35 Profile Homepage #7 Yes, the etymology is the difference. "Loch" is a borrowing from a Celtic language in which the fricative (like the German CH) existed. "Lich" is from an Old English word "lic" — originally pronounced like "lick" — that was eventually palatalized to "lich." For those of you who read IPA, the OED gives the pronunciation as "l&#x026At&#x0283." -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Being dyslexic has absolutely nothing to do with being able to punctuate, and while none of us mind a comma or two misplaced, your posts need periods separating the sentences in order to be comprehensible. If you make a good-faith effort to write properly, then others will make a good-faith effort to read your writing. If not, they won't.
