A low budget?

its actually hard to find out whether 645 is prime. op how do you know its not a prime?

>>2995262

He saw it in the film, silly.

>>2995262
better be troll.

>>2995255
No budget for common sense?

>>2995262
I know this is a trool, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

>>2995273
not a troll, just saying there is no way you can know until you factor it and as you said factoring three digit numbers is hard.

>>2995262
2/10

>>2995262
645 is a multiple of 5. If you weren't trolling, you now have the right to feel stupid.

>>2995282
see >>2995296

>>2995282
omg is 10000000 a prime? its hard to figuere out cuz its a 8 digit number

>I'll write a GUI interface using Visual Basic, see if I can track an IP address

>>2995282
Confirmed for troll, but in case anyone else is wondering: If a number is prime, must have a divisor less than or equal to its square root. A three-digit number can be at most 999, there are only 11 prime numbers less than the square root of 999. So you only have to check for divisibility of 11 possible factors to find out whether or not a three-digit number is prime.

I like how this thread went off topic to talking about prime numbers.

Anyways, Iron Man 2. Especially the part where Tony Stark is making his own element. rofl.

That's from a recent cracked.com article.
And yeah, a tv show had a character say that out loud.

>thinking 37 squared is less than 1000

Further proof that tripfags are a waste of oxygen

>>2995362
Did you really just put 1?

movie pi, what a pain

>>2995378
How hard is it to do this^

What was wrong with pi? It was told from the perspective of a schizophrenic.

I have no knowledge of programation, could you explain to me why it is stupid random technobable?

computer science III

>>2995413
Because it's retarded.

An interface is just how the user interacts with the program. It doesn't *do* anything by itself.

And GUI stands for Graphic User Interface. GUI interface is Graphic User Interface interface.

Math/science fails in novels too.

>>2995413
GUI - graphical user interface
Visual Basic - programming language

She's said: "I'll write a graphical user interface interface using Visual Basic (programming language, see if I can track an IP address"

She's gonna make an interface. And that somehow yields an IP address?

>progamation

>>2995413
GUI stands for Graphical User Interface, so the word "Interface" is redundant.

GUIs are like windows and bars you see on the computer screen, not the actual programming that gets things done.

It has nothing to do with IP addresses, which you don't track, because they usually stay the same. They're essentially a computer's address on the internet. You can find someone's IP, but you can't track it.

>>2995437
Nobody has pointed out yet that Visual Basic is essentially a training language.

>>2995404
i liked the shizophrenic in beautiful mind more
pic related

Any film where people keep falling into, onto or through fucking GLASS and keep wearing their skin and are not bleeding like stuck pigs. They'd all die of blood loss.

Possible exception: Die Hard. He's bleeding a lot from his feet from all that glass. They did it well in that otherwise totally unrealistic film.

>>2995262
It's divisible by five.
Bam.

>>2995473
Yeah, I admire people who solicit gay sex in public bathrooms too.

>>2995472
Fuck, knew I forgot something. Yeah, Visual Basic in no way can do things related to internet protocol.

>>2995282
In general it's time consuming but not difficult. But for specific cases, it can be easy, for example multiples of 5.

>>2995496
haha fail

>>2995498
But the phase change on the quantum flux fields make such calculations impossible.
If only he had adjusted the frequency of his tachyon generator, then he would have been fine.

>>2995505
lol

This is the best movie ever

>>2995472
Commercial developers use it too.

If they'd've stayed in the past, they'd've not been able to have been there to've gone back into the past in the first place. -Second place.

And everyone knows that Saunas are time machines, not Jacuzzis.

matrix

>using humans to produce energy
>later in the movies you find out the humans use geothermal energy to produce there own electricity

now the mind fuck is

>WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T THE ROBOTS KILL THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE AND JUST BUILD THERE OWN FUCKING GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANTS !

WAY MORE ENERGY AND NOW MIND FUCK DEALING WITH THE MATRIX

>>2995605
no*

In the Matrix, people read the source code to the matrix program and somehow know what's happening currently.

Also, why does the source code scroll downward? Are they unable to read it line-by-line?

>>2995605
Also Morpheus claimed that the machines had fusion.
Supposedly the original script had the humans being used as organic computers and the Matrix was just a place to keep their conscious minds busy.

>>2995605
>mfw the matrix wasn't more than a distributed computer using human minds

>>2995634
if it was like that they should have keep it..
and not create a logic mindfuck

>>2995644
The studio thought that audiences wouldn't understand the concept of a biological distributed computer system.
So they used the 'they take our energy that we get by them feeding us our own dead' explanation instead.

>>2995621

And the source code was katakana. So apparently we're all going to program in Japanese in the future.

>>2995673
.. and then they filled the next 2 movies with shitload of philosophy and fancy words..
makes perfect sense.

>>2995281
Holy shit. I understood why it was a mistake, but I'm not a mathematician so this is mostly new info to me.
Just wanted to say I appreciate.

<<<obligatory

In UnderWorld 2, there's a scene where a vampire grabs a rope that's hanging out of a helicopter and uses it to pull the helicopter down to the ground.

I don't care how strong you are, if you pull with more force than your bodyweight, all you'll do is lift yourself off the ground.

Problem, conservation of momentum?

>>2996451

That's not right or you don't understand how it works.

all of you faggots hating on these movies don't understand the concept of entertainment.

math major here, pi and cube are among my favourite movies of all time. why? because i don't take the mathematics seriously, because it's not supposed to be taken seriously.

>>2996474
It is right, and I understand how it works. jelly much?

"static electricity" is a phenomenon that describes a process by which friction results in an excess of charge build up on one surface, due to charge lost from another surface.

"electrostatics" is a field of electromagnetism/electrodynamics that deals with time independent electric fields and the dynamics that arise from them.


they are completely different concepts, though the observation of "static electricity" comes as a result of electrostatics.

>>2996446
Cool to see that you don't think before typing.
