08: keithhenry - 18,982 points 09: Dave Bell - 18,276 points Your old system still crunching at IBM? Nope. Old IBM machine was a laptop. Effectively wiped it clean with all that I deleted. They'd just wipe with a reload of the standard build they use. This was just my C2D and quad both crunching WCG only today. Normally, the quad is WCG only and the C2D does WCG and other projects. EDIT: BTW, your about 10K points YTD behind me now. You should pass me in the next few days. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by keithhenry at May 10, 2009 1:33:10 AM] |

Writing a program to play Blackjack in C is driving me off the wall.. I'm really not good at this stuff. Most folks aren't. You have to think very logically and in very great detail. It's requires a rather particular type of madness to succeed at. Use a multivalue two dimensional array for the card deck. One value determines which card value to display, the other the point value. Use a random value function to set the deck. The index for the array values in the position in the deck. When card are dealt to the player(s), their hand is just the sum of the values though the dual value of the ace is a bit of extra handling. Sort out all the steps in "English" aka psuedocode and when you have all the details laid out, then you just have to translate it into the C syntax. I FINISHED!! After 20 hours.. (yes I know I'm slow, not good at this stuff). On another note.. UC Berkeley was hacked. They lose 97,000 Social Security numbers + other stuff. Berkeley made a site addressing this: http://datatheft.berkeley.edu/news.shtml I'm a programmer and I hated programming in C. C++ was even worse because they actually tried to pass that junk off as object oriented programing. I usually program in assembly language (for nice tight procedures) and pascal because it's English. UC Berkeley needs to have their IT staff fired. That whole mess was their fault. I hope they aren't this country's future computer scientists! It's time to turn off IPv4 and turn on IPv6. At least it can help stupid people not do stupid things. I've been programming for 37 years now and I never particularly liked C. It has often been called the "language that grades itself". Using C syntax, C++ would then be "D", also a language that grades itself. The IT staff at UC Berkeley are morons. They should know better than to have sensitive data on a public network. I see nothing has changed since I left Berkeley. The place was run by idiots back then as well. - D Can someone explain user defined header files? I have all my functions and everything in lab4.c I'm supposed to submit three files -- lab4.c , deck.c , deck.h What I did was only have my main() in lab4.c and included deck.h. I put all my declarations and functions in deck.h. I don't know what deck.c is supposed to contain? If anyone has AIM, my AIM is under this post. By the way, it's due at midnight..  I'm probably going to screw this up, but I will try to lite up some old brain cells... There are library header files, and user header files. Library header files are for the public .C include files. User header files are for the include files that you write. If you write an include file, it's all full of procedures or functions. You have to declare those, and that's the header file is for. Sorry if this doesn't help much. My son is bugging me, and I thought I dumped my knowledge of C  OMG - This reminds me of why I hated programming in C

Total points returned today: 505,062 That's our second 500K+ day of crunching! Now to just make it a routine day! I have three computers running at work that no one knows about. They are connected to my sequestered commercial internet connection. They shut the power off to my building today, and all three of them are off right now. That's a bummer since those computers crank out a lot of results...

We just passed 43,000,000 points today too. Our daily average has gone up from 324k+ to 333k+ just in the past nine days. At that rate, we're looking at 120+ million for the year. 50, 80, 120....hmmm, nice progression me thinks! |

@marysduby - I've been reading the To all of you greenies out there posts and you are putting up a good fight. Kudos to you! I've been very entertained tongiht. It wasn't my plan to plow through 305 pages of that, but seeing Didactylos try to prove the hoax is real has been keeping me laughing all night!I might start putting my 0.0387 cents worth in, too! I sure did love your opening post, too! LOL I can't wait until they start taxing me for CO2, so I can start suing them! [Edit] Well, I put my pennies into the opinion. Can't wait to see the wacko's jump all over that! LOL Page 305 of all of that... Good for you keep up the good work |
