consider yourself stalked

anyone that thinks maths is lame, doesn't know maths...

such an over analysis though I guess everything is relative, generally speaking

aye I minor'd in electronic engineering, all the engineers didnt like maths, so me majoring in maths was fun

seems you're after my own heart, Group theory is AWESOME, ridiculously so XD

I'm a techno kinda guy, with a sprinkling of music

tis a noble goal, and one I fully support, but not when using mediawiki. Marking things becomes incredibly unwieldy. I'd far prefer to create a system that allows the users to select which books they have read and only show informations on those books, but that is definitely unattainable with mediawiki or really any current system... alas, I can dream

hawt digity dang, fluency in sarcasm makes you one of the greatest of us .... Hey there Freja, glad to see another geeky dork person

well yes, commonly held/debated theories warrant inclusion, so that people know where to go look for more information on the topics. but personal speculation should be discussed on the forums, then if it gets espoused enough, it should be mirrored on the wiki.. edit: on the other hand, speculation such as Darmiil's is probably too much spoilers, since people might not have read the prerelease materials, and some (such as I) dont want to, nor want to know any of the story before it's released for real

Indeed it doesnt really make sense to speculate much on the wiki, else there'd be no point for forums.

What's our policy on speculation and theory in articles? Especially relating to unreleased books.

Hey there Gagylpus, great to see you finally sign up and indeed, that news article caught out a good few of us lol

That is uncannily different to how I spend my time hehehe, great to have you hear Katey. Joe

aye Scheme/Lisp are very similar, and those two mock-languages are awesome 99 Bottles of beer showcases what code looks like in different languages, eg perl

for you guys preening over linq, you should check out the languages Scheme or Haskel/Erlang, those are some sweet-chull languages lol Joe

Hey there Andrew, great to know a little more about you Joe

onto Toll the Hounds. ITS SOOOOO GOOD

aye, short story (collections) are a likely candidate for this section CANNOT WAIT

indeed linq is supposed to be pretty. Though I've done plenty of C#/.NET development, I've never really gotten into it. Though my excuse is I'm writing code for hardware guys, who know C better than anything. Though linq is very much more readable I guess...

damnation, indeed I'm wrong... ASCII Table is great for this kinda thing, sorry. Joe

Thanks Zas, this is a great idea and I cant wait to see the results XD

The British paperback also is missing the ends, thought that might be because its not Tor.

Indeed, sounds like a good idea, use the topic subtitle/description bit for the version/etc, the date is the post-date. Should we begin wikifying the (bigger) theories? As long as we have a copy of the different (major) versions, there's nothing stopping us from keeping each theory topic as is, just having the old versions stored in the wiki.

you sure? cause ASCII should be mapped directly to the first part of unicode, which would mean it was \u000d... try System.out.print('\f'); rather than println. and make sure it's a character rather than a string (which would need to be doubly escaped?)

The Form Feed character ('\f' or 0x0D) clears the page (which in the case of printers, spits the page out).This is more portable than the newline solution since it doesnt matter how many lines are on display (ie, if the window's height is changed, the number of lines on display goes up and thus would break the '\n' version
