Question: (just curious) is it possible to use lice for printing duties? Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on May 14 2011, 5:31pm Reply on May 14 2011, 9:52pm: Hmm, you could render to a bitmap at an arbitrary resolution and then print that, but other than that, I dunno.

How does C/C++ represent a float in memory (binary format)? Asked by James (24.234.128.x) on May 12 2011, 4:57pm Reply on May 12 2011, 5:08pm: To oversimplify: Think of scientific notation, i.e. x.xxxxx * 10^y, where you have a relatively normal sized number, and a scale. Of course, the reality is that rather it being X*10^Y, it is actually +-1.X * 2^Y, with a bit deciding whether its + or -, and some bits to define Y, and the majority of the bits defining X. Then there are some special cases for 0 and infinity and so on... Comment... Question: re: AnalSoft - Noted! - humacentipad haha Funny stuff!
