Hi all.
I'm new here, so I don't know if this has been suggested before, but would it not be a good idea to make the InterNIC password "clickable"?
I know it is just being lazy, but it could help speed up log clearing.

Or you can use the internic password remover program, however this considers as cheating.

*edit* Just noticed that the program dosn't work anymore, anticheat ftw! *edit off*

If you don't know if it's been asked before, why not search?

Ok, I'm sorry.
Just searched, and can't find anything, Happy? :P

Yes. Yes I am.

But searching should be done *BEFORE* posting, not vice versa.

Hence the sig.

Ah, but I am not wasting time as there has been nothing on it before.
Therfore my post was a valid one and as such deserves an answer or at the very least an explanation as to why no answer was given to the question in the first place.
And I WILL write that 10^3 times if you want me to...

I'll let you off if you can tell me the reason that you could never write it 10^100 times, even if you lived forever.

That depends if i was pasting or typing.
If I was typing, I would have to write out the same sentence 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times. Thats a lot of writing.
Now, I'm too busy to bother timing that by the ammount of letters in the sentance, but we can be pretty sure that one could not type that out in a lifetime.
Living forever, however, is a different matter. Because you have an infinite ammount of time, the (in reality) fininte amount that it will take you to type it out is next to nothing (k/infinity = more or less 0)

I don't think theirs enough lead or ink in the universe to be able to write it 10^100. Or any kind of material.

or, simply that you would run out of space (ha! it's a pun)

Fattierob hit the nail right on the head.

The number of particles in the universe is estimated to be between 10^72 up to 10^87. As this is less than 10^100, you could never write anything 10^100 times.

For example, you can write 10^100 in digits (and I will... 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) but you could never write 10^(10^100) in digits, as even if you converted every particle in the universe into ink or disks.

Hurray for useless physics knowledge.

well, particles meaning atoms right(*shoots self* I spelled at as "write" the first time :oops: )? let's say that the number of 10^87 is exactly true, and every particle in the universe had the phrase written on it.


now, my question is, who said the phrase was limited to only being written once per particle? :P

How could you write on a particle?

A particle is the lowest form of singular mass, i.e it is indivisible.

By particles, I mean protons, electrons, antiprotons, leptons, photons, quarks, tachyons, positrons and all the other strange particles out there. Of course, neutrons aren't counted as they are made of a proton and an electron.

You cannot divide these particles. Writing is simply a series of particles put onto some form of plane (also made of particles, but distinguishable in some way from the added particles, e.g by electromagnetic spectrum absorbtion).

Even if you represented the number with quantum states it would not work.

see, i'm not a quantuam mechanics person, but here is my thought process:

particle has mass
if an object has mass, you can take away from it
if you can take away from it you can "carve" it into a shape.
letters are shapes.



Maybe i'm just not understanding it correctly or something

A particle is indivisible.

You can't carve into a particle, as it is indivisible.

Also, particles are simply analogies that allow us to describe the behaviour of certain things in the universe.

For example, a proton is a positively charged quantum, just as an electron is a negatively charged quantum. A neutron is a positively charged quantum and a negatively charged quantum bonded by electrical attraction, giving it an overall neutral charge.

For example, light can be described as a wave or as a stream of particles. They exhibit wavelike behaviour when they diffract. They exhibit particle like behaviour in the photoelectric effect.
