Reminds me of a faerie dragon from homm3, I am jealous of this 14 year old, especially because a long term personal dream of mine is flying to downtown fort worth on a mechanical ornithopter dragon.

There's a bug in notepad that lets you turn your computer into a marquee. Making the text big and turning off wordwrap causes the text rendering to lag behind your typing. Here is a demo video I threw together. It's good to have i

I am ashamed to have written this comment. I didn't know about clearing houses and shouldn't have been so arrogant in a field I'm not familiar with. Funnily enough I put my money where my mouth was and profited, but that was

Exponentiation isn't commutative, so each position on the triangle matters. For multiplication there would be two equivalent triangle states for instance since you can swap xy=z and yx=z. Not saying its a bad idea though.

Ya, basically go up, grab number, go down, paste number, increment number, go down, repeat 50 times. Needed for generating xaml that had row and column #s from the csv, interestingly excel could gen the code too relatively quickly.
