I wouldn't any of those, taking over the code I inherited from someone else is punishment enough.

... so I downloaded MinGW and CodeBlocks and started to write some code. I wrote a pseudo random number generator with a 256 bit internal state. The first unit test checks the generated number sequence against the Gaussian normal distribution and up to now it's very close.
Not bad if you take into account that I use the following hexadecimal values to do the actual number generation:
unsigned int uiFeedbackValue[SHIFT_REGISTER_LENGTH] = {0xDEADC0DE, 0xC0CAC01A, 0x1BADBABE, 0xABAD1DEA,
0xC0DEBA5E, 0xDEADBEEF, 0xB16B00B5, 0xBADCAB1E};
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

Yes, you may find very interesting results just using a drunk probability distribution.

MinGW original or MinGW-w64?

MinGW32, so it's the original. For a C++ develpment environment created out of thin air in 30 minutes it should be sufficient.

Well, several plot lines have been explained and Matt Smith did some acting. All in all, an enjoyable end to his tenure as the Doctor.

And a whole new regeneration cycle to boot!
I wonder what colour his kidneys are.

I'm not really a fan of doctor who, but wasn't regeneration limited to a number like 13 times?
|
|
|
|
|
I think they ran out of regenerations, so they invented some waffle to give him more discovered that it wasn't so much of a limitation after all.

There was a limit of 12 regenerations but there is precedence in Doctor Who for this limit being lifted.
|
|

|

Indeed, 25 years ago the Time Lords gave The Master a new regeneration cycle, they have done the same for the Doctor.

According to canon, they gave the Master another regeneration cycle for the Time War as well.
|
|
|
|
|
So, if they can give those cycles more than one time, why bother having cycles? they can just regenerate ad eternum.

And will. If the BBC should sell it to Sky, expect all of them to be absorbed into that Great Time Robbery, also known as adverts, never to be seen again.

Timelords can, in principle, regenerate any number of times, however they found that regeneration was not perfect and a slow and painful decay would result from infinite regenerations, so they set it to 12 regenerations (13 lives) by law. However, you can hardly blame them for making an exception since the Dr is the only Timelord left in this universe and may prove handy in helping the rest get back in!

Friggin' Foxtel Friggin' PVR shyte box
So, was still pouring drinkies etc. before settling down in front of the box to be entertained by his doctorness - so (as you do) I paused playback just before it started.
We settled down,pressed play ...
No friggin' sound recorded.
The very helpful gentleman at Foxtel "technical" support said that they needed to format the HD to fix the problem (sure!) - but if that didn't work, they'd send a new box out.
Arse! One show in the whole year I really wanted to watch!

I gots me a new mixer for being a very good boy. Currently it is beating the custard for Christmas Ice Cream - vanilla with a [large] hint of Baileys. Already used it as to mix the stuffing and next up is some bread.
BTW Merry Christmas to you all, I are happy today.
