@mafp None of this was necessary had you had just said I find that offensive. Flagging for moderation means that I'm doing something that I'm not supposed to do and needs mod attention. And I think that's something to be offended though I can't right now. Because I don't feel like it.

mafp

@percusse Fine, let's bring that to a happy end: I apologize that you could have been offended by bringing this to such a public level. Next time, I will ask you directly to delete it, or discuss that. I still stand that your message was offensive, even as I am sure now that you did not meant it this way.

percusse

@mafp Watch out Happy ending is a very offensive word in a certain context. :) But I fear that you'll flag it if I explain it. The point is I've already posted immeadiately two comments so no problem on my side. But unfortunately I can't accept your complaint because there is nothing wrong about bikinis even for 14 year old ones from Syria and I think that was quite a inappropriate example to put me in a position for just a mention of a bikini.

@PauloCereda Define WTF, please. So, I do not have to ask myself anymore, which one of the these meanings is the actual one. (grin)

@PauloCereda And: “!!/define <3” … Answer: “Ice cream.”

@Speravir s/WTF/FTW/

Canageek

@Speravir What the F**k.

@Speravir For the Win?

Speravir

@Canageek In fact, I did not know this, first. But there’s intentionally something in the parentheses.

Canageek

Geeze, I leave for a couple months and this room gets full of swearing and sexual innundo.

@Speravir I figured so. If you don't hang out in gaming communities it isn't common. A lot of peple here are older, international academics.

@egreg Man, I wonder how much you could sell a working PDP-10 to a collector for these days.

@PauloCereda Better: “!!/define <3” Answer “Ice cream, presented with love.”

leo

!!/define AFAIK

Oh, the bot is not here

Speravir

@leo If you really want to know it: AFAIK - Definition by AcronymFinder (for me the highest rated version).

leo

@Speravir Thanks

@Canageek Hi, have you graduated already or is this your last semester? How are things? We haven't seen you around for a while.

let's do a little test

Greg Ros

Heya. Tex is awesome.

leo

\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,oneside]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{exsheets}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{varwidth}

\parindent=0mm

\SetupExSheets[points]{name=punto/s}
\DeclareQuestionProperty{ciclo}

\begin{document}
Hola Mundo
\end{document}

Greg Ros

I started using it like a couple of days ago. A week ago I knew nothing but word.

leo

does that compile to someone?

Greg Ros

I had a question. Does someone know a package for formatting basic arithmetic things? Like for kids.

leo

2:06 AM

not me

Greg Ros

With long addition, multiplication, etc. Some sort of 'carry'

leo

the file where the code is, is named test.tex I do pdflatex test and doesn't work. No errors. Just do nothing

Greg Ros

2:23 AM

are there unicode characters for finger counting? o_o

or latex

dum dee dum

Alan Munn

@GregRos Yes, hang on a second while I find what it is.

Greg Ros

Finger counting? Counting your fingers?

Alan Munn

There's the `longdiv` package:
\documentclass{article}
\input{longdiv} % has no .sty version
\begin{document}
\longdiv{numerator}{denominator}
\end{document}

leo

how can check the integrity of pdflatex.exe?

Alan Munn

@gregros For simple addition and subtraction problems (and more) check out the xlop package.

Greg Ros

2:31 AM

thank you :)

Speravir

@GregRos Package polynom seems to be good: How to draw polynom division?.

Greg Ros

thank you :)

Alan Munn

@GregRos I don't think there are unicode code points for these. If you could find a TrueType or OpenType font with the relevant glyphs then you could use XeLaTeX to typeset it probably.

Greg Ros

thank you :)

Alan Munn

@GregRos You're welcome. And welcome to the TeX world.

Greg Ros

2:44 AM

thank you again

leo

Domeño?

Someone?

Nicola Talbot

8:53 AM

@PauloCereda I'm tempted to say that the solution is simple: just nuke Windows and install Linux ;-)

@NicolaTalbot Both their interfaces are starting to look like mobile phones with Windows 8 and GNOME 3.

Nicola Talbot

@JasonBourne I didn't much like GNOME 3 when I upgraded Fedora, but I've got it on the classic thingy setting and I've sort of got used to it.

But it's not really the interface appearance that's the issue here, it's the OP's insistence that a command line program (such as java) shouldn't go on the system path.
