I think this is a good way to learn some small tidbits about N, like algorithims, coding, strange facts, etc.


Did you know that the algorithim used by the gauss turret to aim and frequency is the bell curve with distance as x and direction as y?

Did you know that the enemies can still see the ninja when he is invisible (after 9 columns)?

EDIT:

This means that the eye of the drone is not what does the seeing.

RSA Security wrote:Overview
RSA is the premier provider of security solutions for business acceleration. As the chosen security partner of more than 90 percent of the Fortune 500, RSA helps the world's leading organizations succeed by solving their most complex and sensitive security challenges. In September 2006 after over 20 years providing leadership to the security industry, RSA Security joined forces with EMC Corporation and Network Intelligence to form the Security Division of EMC. Driving this merger is the recognition that customer needs have changed, and traditional approaches to information security are no longer sufficient. Increasingly, what should be your most important company asset—information—is your greatest liability.

In response, RSA is ushering in a new information-centric approach to security that will empower leading companies worldwide to address these challenges and move ahead with the confidence to compete and win in today’s marketplace. Fueling our mission is the passionate belief that security should be about lifting business limitations, not imposing them.
RSA_Security also had 3rd on 158-0 before NReality was down.

OOOoooohhhhh, so that's why it's a Gauss turret. I always just made bad puns about Gauss-Jordan eliminating it to find it's secret identity. *ba-dum-tsh*
I also make that pun in my head when anyone talks about the movie the Matrix.

Related Fact: Gauss is pronounced as "gOWce", NOT "gauze"

EDIT: Wait, I think it's called a Gauss turret because of this. Maybe it's both. Like a pun! Except only people with source code would get it.

ExüberNewsFeed: Exuberance is mostly <AFF> (Away From Forums) for a while, though I may still participate in epic contests/threads. When I return, I shall bring several comic updates (enough to finish season 1) and hopefully 1 or 2 games- at least one of which is N-related
Comic Activity-O-Meter: (how often I'm updating my comic)
(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)

NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)
