Returning 0 does mean success. Returning nonzero (such as true) means failure. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Ben: return 0 would be better. Topic starter: It won't run on OS 9, no matter what, with XCode. If it won't run on other OS X computers, try making sure that you have set the build style to "deployment". -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I don't really have a moral problem with reproductive cloning (so long as all the gotchas are fixed and you aren't producing malformed piles of goo that die young), but I have no idea why anyone would actually want to do it. There are easier ways to produce a human, and the only reason I can see for wanting a clone is the misguided notion that it will be give you immortality, or replace a loved one, or something. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I seem to still get Physics World for free, due to the generosity of a company I can't remember that did it for all physics undergraduates in my year.

The problem is that a linked list is a load of pointers, and you can't sensibly write pointers to a file like that. You have to separately write each member of the linked list, and your reading routine then has to take them and join them up. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I think the asymmetry is that there are vastly, vastly more states that are piles of ashes than there are states that are logs. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. And perturbation was probably the wrong word. I'll try again. Suppose you have a log that you've just started to burn. If you move the atoms a little bit (and/or change their velocities a little bit), then what you get is still a burning log, and it will still turn into a pile of ashes. If you have a pile of ashes that came from burning a log, then running time backwards will give you a log. But if you move the atoms in your pile of ashes a bit first, then you will end up with a pile of ashes that won't "unburn" to a log. And now I've said all that, I can't quite remember what, if anything, my point was. Oh well. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Sorry if this has been said: I think the distinction between the log and the pile of ashes is that if you perturb the log slightly, it will burn to something that counts as a pile of ashes, but if you perturb the pile of ashes and reverse time, it won't go back to being a log. Simple system with arrow of time: To particles in the plane, moving in some direction at some speed, starting close together. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Another one: "The smallest natural number which cannot be defined using less than fourteen words." But that sentence is only thirteen words, so the number it defines can actually be defined in less than fourteen words after all. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
