Like I said, if you guys really don't care about figuring out how racism actually works and matters, that's fine. I'm not on a crusade here, I just think it's worth thinking about.

Racism is motivation, not results or action. If I were a minority and I punched a guy for the specific reason I don't like the majority race in my area, how is that not a racially motivated attack? How far does geography affect your definition of racism? I could be part of a majority on a city or country wide scale, but part of a minority in a neighborhood, workplace, or home. Does my ability to be racist change when I move from place to place? e: I agree it's worth thinking about, I just seriously doubt you've done any.

Insofar as power is contextual, then yes. A minority landlord who decides that he doesn't like white people and won't give me an apartment in his building because I'm white is being racist, because he has power in that situation. I'm not sure on the issue of racially motivated violence, does the person initiating violence have some sort of power (maybe he knows how to fight and you don't?) at that point? That's my reading of it, anyway. I'd understand if there was disagreement.

Base Emitter posted:Basically the quadrilateral and each bin is a polygon, so you want to calculate the intersection between two polygons and then find the area of the resulting polygon. Look for polygon clipping algorithms (2D graphics requires the ability to clip polygons to a viewport). Both the clipping and the area calculations are probably easier turned into lists of triangles since you just want to add up areas. The fact that your polygons are convex probably simplifies matters. Gravity Pike posted:Are you trying to write a computer program to do this for you? Unless it's for homework, I'd google "polygon intersection library," and see if you can find a library function that'll compute the union of two polygons. Because I'm lazy, and trying to get something done instead of being efficient, I'd calculate the union of the quadrangle and each bin in the (minX..maxX, minY..maxY) set. (Some of these will be zero.) No, not for homework. I independently stumbled across the concept of intersection of convex polygons -- yes, being able to assume that the polygons are both simple and convex speeds things up dramatically. This is apparently a "big deal", or something, given how much computing power goes into graphics. I've spent the last day looking at an algorithm that makes intuitive sense (https://www.cs.ucf.edu/courses/cot5520/Lec18.ppt, starting at slide 41). Assembling this into a functioning computer code requires understanding it at a mathematical level, which I'm still working on. Thanks to both of you.

I started a full time job and a part time job at about the same time. My side job boss recently asked if i would be interested in helping out full time and i told him about my other job. He then asked if i knew anyone who would be interested, i said no. I just got fired from my full time job. Is it a good idea to ask if he's still interested or would this just make me look bad as he would be wondering why i got let go from the other place? The full time job was sketch and i think they got rid of me because they were running out of money, but i wont be able to have them give me a recommendation or anything. Side job boss seems pretty happy with my work.

Can't you just ask him if he still can use you full time? If he asks why, just say you like this job more than the other one or something like that.

I guess i could say that. I'm just worried about him getting suspicious because i really like this job. I would prefer to stay on part time and find another job rather than gently caress up his trust in me.

Here's a really stupid question. Miller Beer advertises itself as "The Champagne of Beers". I don't drink, so I have no idea if this is true (but it probably isn't). Assuming, however, that it is, what would be "The Beer of Champagnes"?

For future reference, you can use images.google.com to search images instead of words (just click on the camera icon).

The French only have wine cred because people are dumb enough to give it to them. In blind taste tests, even wine 'experts' can barely tell the difference between good and bad wines. There's been a ton of studies that show someone's expectations for a wine have more to do with how much they enjoy it than anything else.

It was about this small town where all the teens dressed like 1950s or 1960s teens, drove classic cars and hung out at a diner. I think it was located in the middle of nowhere USA (not sure about that last part; could have been Russia). Not sure about that one. Another one like that is Napier in New Zealand.. They are obsessed with their Art Deco era and the cars, dances etc.

At my work we use Outlook. I recently changed the view of the middle pane to arrange email by conversation. That worked fine for a few days, but some time in the last couple of days, it started expanding every conversation when I switched back to mail from the calendar, contacts, or tasks views. Any ideas why this is happening?

Remember each folder has its own view settings. A quick way to reset to factory defaults is to : Click start Then select run In the open dialogue box type Outlook /cleanviews and press enter. Ps this works for outlook 2007 or later. Let me know if you have an earlier version
