I know what the following does and if you've used the Avatar Sizer program you've used it!

DstLine: pRGBArray;
DstGap: Integer;
w1, w2, w3, w4: Integer;
begin
:= 0;
:= pred( );
;
:= pf24Bit;
:= pf24Bit;
if ( = ) and ( = ) then
(Src)
else
begin
DstLine := [0];
DstGap := Integer( [1]) - Integer(DstLine);
xP2 := MulDiv(pred( ), $10000, );

Pah!....come back and tell us something we dont know John :shock:
Ok, it kind of looks like Pascal - or er.. (no experience at all with it but I'd guess..) Delphi - what with it being Windows-ey. Actually the first thing that sprung to mind was Modula-2/3 (taught at colleg/uni respectively to start with, by chance), being the only ":=" language I've programmed in for any length of time.
Was any of this started off by the Sci-Fi channel's survey about how many of us are geeks - I read an article in the free London Underground paper Metro today about geek-ness referring to it.
I only got on the geek test :cry: I thought I was more geeky than that, at school I'd memorised pi to over 20 decimal places :!:
Great post flapjackboy, well done.

Well, onlyme1981 - you're in the right place.. Hampshire's close to Surrey too, isn't it?? (hint, hint.... smile :twisted:

Oooh indeed it is... You a posh geek then? lol
biggrin
Do geeks exist yes and im dam glad .
So far my friend the geek has .taught me all i know about pcs before that i knew nothing .
Ifind it fasinating honest i do just to watch him fiddle and mess its great .
Then fiddle and mess with me mmmmm later .

I got - Super geek!
Mainly due to my 1337 gaming, Trek and computer skillz. biggrin
I got 28.6, mainly due to laziness and being an adventurer geek :biggrin :D

5.) They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?
.

Another plus point is that if your partner is intelligent, you will sustain your own intelligence longer in life!

Ok.. I remember seeing it written down to quite a few digits in an A-level Maths textbook and remembering a few more digits than my calculator had (which I already knew - took a while to remember to change the last digit I knew previously, cos it had been rounded up!)
is all I knew/know. (and I should, I think, probably round that last 5 up if I'm quoting it like that). So what's the rest (that you know), smart-alec? No googling for it now!
Haven't they worked it out to a few million places on a computer somewhere or something?
--------------------
Onlyme - me, posh? er not really. I can be "well-spoken" if I'm making a little bit of effort but I don't think I'd call myself posh. My parents weren't quite well enough off for that. Posh compared to a stereotypical chav, maybe.

I said I had memorised it at school ie back in the dark ages and just like my French GSCE has long departed from my memory (I got a higher grade in French than I did in English FFS and now cannot utter a single phrase in French)

Righty-o - Was just asking....Surrey is sooo much more upmarket than Hampshire lol
I've been told I talk posh, want to find out if that's correct or not? :twisted:

Let me listen to you sometime and I'll give you my opinion. smile
I'm right on the border of Hants and Surrey. If I go a couple of miles from my house it's into Hampshire in several directions, what with the border line wobbling about all over the place. On the way to work I think I cross borders several times. At least twice anyway.

Careful, you'll end up giving Missy one of her funny turns with pics like that... biggrin
At just under 50% I am only a super geek, but tehn that might have something to do with my dislike of computers.
Well I just took the test and am disappointed to find out I only got % (which I copied and pasted instead of typing out); some areas I ticked tonnes, several others I didn't tick so many. I so wanted to add another couple of boxes though; the button to get to the test itself doesn't work on my Opera and I was seriously thinking about writing some user javascript to fix it or fixing the code on the page and emailing the author about it. In the "I Know" section near the bottom I ticked nearly every box (C++, Unix,...). But what is a THAC0? A computer?
So I run a web browser that's too geeky to do the test... (come on, if you use it you gotta agree - great web browser but definitely a bit geeky with the level of what it can do - customising etc.)

THAC0 is an abbreviation from old (mainly second and occasionally first edition) AD&D. It stands for 'To Hit Armour Class 0'. smile
Used to use Opera, but Firefox is now better IMHO, I switched over a year ago and haven't regretted it.
