Excellent achievement! Now I wonder how you'll do with the other nine protectors.

I haven't really thought about them yet, but I'll let you know when I get there. I've got to get to 77,777 to stop Gagsy from passing me :P

Or rather, to re-pass her, as the case may be.

My B/P is especially starting to slow. I became active again as Private, I'm half way to staff sergeant now and +30 is like a thing of the past. I'd be curious to see a graph with the actual distribution of b/p, but I'm assuming by the way this has been going that the top 1k is quite a bit more spread out than the top 2k.

Oh, and you were right about the experience. +19 today O.O Not complaining about that!

I did the math earlier this week, and if I can keep a steady pace of 50 b/p per weekday I should be at 18,000 by the end of next year. The threshold for making it into the top b/p list seems to be about there, so it's a good number to shoot for. Level 30 will take longer.

FUCK. YEAH! Whichever publisher says no to this better cease to exist right away.

And then they should have a look af all the Immortal band photos so they would know how to do it wrong. XD

I see it as how to provide lulz for the fans.

We're getting there. :) Do you have more to mention?

How about Portishead? Maybe they are not your cup of tea, but for me they are the embodiment of "Awesome".

Why do I think of Motörhead when Portishead is said?

Of course. For me, I still need to discover a lot of stuff.

I once made a curios observation: The older I get the older gets the music I listen to. Meaning that I usually don't check out new stuff, but I go back in time...

Copyright is a very complex field. Also, laws differ from country to country, so I cannot give a definite answer to that. ^^
But no, basically you don't have to make money off the stuff you copied to get sued for infringement.

Makes sense I guess. But due to the fact that it's different per country and a lot of reports and papers and such are distributed internationally, I can imagine it's indeed complex.

I don't know, sometimes I got the feeling that controlling and checking whether people are violating copyright laws often causes more trouble than it prevents.

It certainly is, and it's common in all layers of society.

I always have to think of that one quote: "Why don't we just get rid of all caution notes and let the problem solve itself?"

Lol!

Which reminds me of the Darwin awards and Murphy's laws.

Oh yeah, true. Math formulas can be used freely, and of course people tend to use the same formulas to get to a solution.

And of course there's always that one guy who's a math genius and solves all problems within 30 minutes and all other students just copy the solution. ^^

Of course there's always those kind of guys. Although that sounds more like something for high school homework assignments, which I don't really have anymore.

Oh yeah! Those were the days. You always got these posts here where people celebrated their level up and then everybody was like: "Lol level down again" the next day. And I remember there was this one guy here who celebrated leveling down (was once a level 18 or something, but leveled down to 15 eventually).

But yeah, the level gap between 9 and 10 is way to high for new users and I can imagine that their would be a ton of Level 9 users on the site if it still existed.

I think the gap might be around 2,000 points by now. I should update my blog with the level requirements... =/

You mean NGlogs did the math for you, right? :p
And yeah, it's pretty much at 18,000 since I got on the top 300 just before gettin 'em.To be honest, levelling progress is so slow now (my next level will be in two months and some days) that I barely notice it until, one day, I see a "30 exp to next level" message and get all excited..
Been playing some medal games recently, passed 47,000 points just now.Can't believe that some people have more than 70,000...it's unreal.

Well as you can see I've already come a long way. There is a huge gap between me and the #18 right now. When I will rank up again depends on how RemRulzz and Ehwaz will do. I'm still 900 points behind atm, but the gap is closing slowly.

There are actually machines that can check if a text is copy pasted. They scan in the text and have access to a huge database of scientific texts. So they can find out any similarites very quickly.

It certainly is, and it's common in all layers of society.

Of course there's always those kind of guys. Although that sounds more like something for high school homework assignments, which I don't really have anymore.

Sometimes we had some compulsory tutorials and we had to get some kind of certificate. One of the criterias to get this certificate usually was "gather at least 50% of all the points". This propably was implemented to force the students to actually solve the problems, but in maths it was just an incentive to copy the solutions from elsewhere.
In my first semester I got really lucky. I know a guy who studied physics and he is really good in maths. He did all of my "maths homework" for me. ^^
