So you're responsible for all of the...er...adult material...in my browsing history?
Because I'm somewhat sure it wasn't me...

Well, "responsible" is somewhat ambiguous in this context! Did I put it there? Absolutely not! Did I produce it? Certainly not in the UK 'cause that sort of thing is just plain illegal now!

Normally doesn't change until TeamViewer is restarted. Your laptop may have gone to sleep.

I am really begin to question my powers of observation. I just noticed that Dilbert (By Scott Adams) has no mouth. Is there anyone who follows Dilbert and had noticed this? It took me 6 month to notice.

Well, now that's just gonna confuse the rabbits.

Wait 'til you realize what's been going on with Dilbert's tie all along!
(then again, he hasn't worn it since that dress code thing a few months back...)

That's how CP will look like after we remove all the spammers den2k88[^] ( ) throws at us. At the end we will be a few hundred most...
And beware not to say 'hiiiiii' to anyone in your messages
(OT: There is no shorter way to kick them? My fingers are gone, and I have work to do!)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I have 320 more, but I'll wait the first 80 to be kicked - I don't want to clutter up the S&A section! 
I'd really like a faster way to remove spammers account, some of the first truckload I bumped on the site are still there after only 8 kicks.

I was under the impression moderators got a new hammer for that, but maybe @Chris-Maunder has an answer...

For messages - yes. For accounts, not yet.

What's wrong with saying "hi," if there is other technically valid content in the message ?

I told 'hiiiii' - and it was a joke! It is obvious that the common in the last wave of spams is the 'hiiii' openeing (number of 'i's can be different)...

My niece started to learn CS some 6 weeks ago. I just realized that nothing changed since I left...They still pump an enormous amount of mathematics into students.
I'm aware that, good logical thought is a must-have for CS, and that good mathematics means the same, but even so!
Did you learned that much mathematics as part of your studies? Was it really helpful?

I went off to Uni (many moons ago) to study a BTech in Maths and Computer Science.
At the end of my first year I failed every maths subject (getting zero in one exam, I suspect I didn't even get my own name right) and transferred to a "pure" CS after I re-did the maths exams (at home, no time pressure, all my books and notes. And friends who had passed them handy).
I can say that with the exception of basic geometry the only thing I have needed any significant maths for since is low level graphics drivers (you need trig for arcs, curves, and circles).
So no. It wasn't really handy.
I think it's a hangover to the old, old days: when maths (and Latin) was at the root of all science and scientific thinking. You need some, yes - but nothing too advanced any more. (You need a damn sight more math for physics than for computing these days)

Agree about the physics!
Many, many moons ago when I started Uni I was aiming for a degree in Physics. That lasted until second year.
The day my lecturer put a double integral sign up on the blackboard (I said it was long ago) was the day I knew I would have to find something else... so computing science it was!
|
|
|
|

And it gets plenty worse (or better, depending on your view of math) in physics after double integrals.
But then, in CS, there's the C and the S, isn't there - and who would want to miss the S if it puts you effectively in a higher echelon?

I once had to do nested integration by parts in an Excel spreadsheet.
BNF had an old Frameworks spreadsheet for calculating radiation from waste piles and they not only wanted it brought up-to-date, they wanted to pull dynamically from a database. One radioactive element breaks down to others - the math was seriously hairy. One formula couldn't fit into an Excel cell, so I created VBA functions. I remember one calculation had to be broken into smaller parts and even then I hit the maximum line continuation limit several times. [shudder/]
I'm not sure that my uni math helped much though!

I don't blame you!
Sounds like a prime candidate for Weird And Wonderful[^] though. Or are you worried that the next poor fool is going to hop on a plane and hunt you down?
