"Random Segments of Code"

This is the random stuff blog.<br><br>First: Thanks DF for fixing the rating system and everything else you've been doing! It gives one hope for v3 again! You've just been awesome!<br><br>Second: My sister got a new computer, of course it was running Vista. The first time I really got a good (or maybe bad?) chance to work with the system. I really hate it. I would love if I never had to use it, but I'm sure once I get my own computer it will come with vista.<br><br>Third: Who thinks DF doesn't get enough praise?<br><br>Fourth: School work keeps me from working on my game, but not so much because of the work load as it is just working in front of the computer. After doing all of that work in front of the computer the last thing I want to do is do it some more.<br><br>Fifth: Cell Burst<br><br>Sixth: Kingdom Hearts 2<br><br>Seventh: Who here thinks Cell Burst is still coming?<br><br>Eighth: I format all of my blogs in html so they look correct on my site.<br><br>Ninth: Who can can tell me where the quote for the blog title comes from?<br><br>Tenth: ……<br><br>http://www.kenginegaming.com<br>-Elmernite

DF gets tons of praise. Oh well, what harm can a little more do?

And Cell Burst IS still coming, right?

Isn't that from I, Robot?

@ Nighthawk17, it is still coming, I just wanted to know who here still thought that.

@ Zipper Head: Ding, Ding, Dingggg! We have a winner! Nice, I thought for sure it would take longer than that for someone to guess it.

A monkey could program v3 if you gave him enough time and he randomly hit keys.

Damn it, Zipper Head got it before me.

@ Kenon: I hate that stupid statement. If you truely do the math you relize just how dumb of a statement that is. The chances of a monkey typing the word, monkey, is 1 in 46,656,000,000! (and thats a keyboard with only 60 buttons! Counting both lower and uppercase letters plus a few extra characters, not numbers or anything like that)

Thats about 450 years at three keys per second. For the word monkey. Suddenly put's things in perspective.

@ sn0wb0arder381: Ha ha, maybe I'll try with another I, Robot quote some other time.

The monkey still could write V3 given enough time

Scraping the bottom of the barrel for blog content…How much do you have left on Cell Burst??

But if the monkey typed random crap, and the letters that matched were kept, it would go a lot faster. That's essentially how evolution works. Genetic mutations are mostly random crap, and the bad mutations die. The mutations that happen to work are preserved.

I agree with 6.
