Validation requires an object. I have presented you with nothing.
Validation of nothing, how interesting. :ermm:

Could someone validate my parking? I'm turning in for the moment.

ffs, it is common on many fora, and is one of the many abbreviations used.
So since your massive intelligence didn't even deign to inquire, the abbreviation is: too long;didn't read. This doesn't mean that your essay was boring as fuck (which it was) just that it was unable to keep your readers attention.
It's alright you probably get this reaction quite a bit, have you thought of entering the priesthood? :blink:
I didn't get it either and since I (rightly) assumed that it was something stupid didn't bother to Google the meaning until you inadvertently goaded me into it just now.Having done so I was moved to create my own internet abbreviation thingy ts;wib.

Recently out of curiosity I've learned pi to 120 digits and how to solve a rubik's cube (can solve it in ~50 seconds), and after seeing this video (the same girl was elected to go on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to broadcast her ability) attempted to put them together but with an additional component, that being multiplying double digits numbers by single digit numbers (such as 97*8). So as I'm reciting 100 digit strings of pi consecutively, each in 15 second speed intervals, and solving the rubik's cube, I'm multiplying double digit numbers by single digit numbers. So, in theory, completing three mental tasks simultaneously. My question is: do you think being able to do this requires above average intelligence or do you think anyone of normal intelligence can do it? Most of the people commenting on the video I mentioned in which the girl balances books on her head while solving a rubik's cube and reciting pi to 100 digits claim that the girl possesses some kind of extraordinary talent, and being that she was selected to go on The Ellen Degenres Show it seems like it might be worth of some recognition. What do you think?
Well, people learn Pi to thousands of decimal places, can solve Rubik's cubes in half the time and can multiply much,
much, larger numbers.
So all you're doing is three mediocre things simultaneously. I think that most people could learn how to do that stuff given a few weeks training.
That's not to say if I saw you doing those things, I wouldn't be impressed. I would. But it's kinda like seeing a precocious 10 year old on Countdown get an eight letter word; you're initially impressed until you realise that he will probably remain a virgin forever.
Computers have learned pi to billions of decimal places, and can also solve the Rubik's cube almost instantaneously.
They also contain an endless supply of pornography....

I've never seen a computer solve a Rubik's cube.
If you've been developing computers with opposable thumbs again, barbie, I'm going to cut your stalking budget in half.
Those photobuckets aren't going to crack themselves.

That's a robot, ffs.
Stop cheating. There is absolutely no way that robot can supply an endless supply of porn and I'd be surprised if it even knew what pi was.
Also, I re-found will it blend, which may well be my favourite jewtube thing evar :happy:
