Huh?

Python 2.6.5
>>> i = -3
>>> i ** 0
1
>>> -3 ** 0
-1

GHCi, version 6.10.4
Prelude> let i = -3
Prelude> i ^ 0
1
Prelude> -3 ^ 0
-1

Mmm, precedence.

Explain, please.

Powers are evaluated before subtraction
so it's implicitly -(3^0) = -(1)
but substitute i and it is (-3)^0 = 1

Yeah, no, not helping people has turned this board into a wasteland.

You've seen the power of sagebot below.

The wasteland has only really occurred in the past 12-16 months, not helping people has been going on for much longer.

So you're agreeing that the former caused the latter, yes?

If I agree to that, then I am going to have to rethink my entire system of logic.

Don't be afraid to think the unthinkable.

In unrelated news, I just discovered you can report threads with a hotkey.

We need one constant "Post your homework and someone may help you" thread.

How does it feel to have come up with the worst idea

Or maybe just ban children--oh wait.

Can't these people just go to stackoverflow? I mean if they wouldn't touch it over there then there's no interesting topical discussion to be had about it here.

Many questions are just not interesting, and it's more funny to bait the questioner. A little of >>22 too.

Many questions are trivially solved by:
1. 5 minute search through Google
2. Reading the right textbook
3. Getting the right university or collage education

Too many people don't have the time for any of these, so I will not have the time for these people. Also, see >>22,23.

Are you suggesting that collages aren't an important part of your education?

I am, actually.
