Which way would flame go if it was in space?

It would go out because there is no oxygen to breathe...

Assuming it was inside a spaceship with oxygen then it would be spherical unless you waved the match around so it could burn properly.
I love seeing mushroom clouds in sci fi movies, the director obviously has no idea


OK today's eyestrain inducer question is this: What brand of sail is in this picture?

Hey Mikey,

Gubmint no pay me... my customers pay me...

Besides I'm a geek, you don't think I clicked all those smileys by hand do you?
1) Use the program found here:
www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Image-Convertors/ASCII-Art-Maker.shtml
2) Save as HTML
3) Create a palette of the average colours used by the seabreeze smileys
4) Write a PHP script to figure out which pixels are closest in colour to the ones in the palette, and then replace each pixel with a smiley

Hardest part is tuning the colour palette and choosing a nice contrasty picture...
I can go from a JPG to a smiley matrix in around 30 seconds when it's all working right.

Dammit I've given away my secret now

Another hint, the source picture for the matrix above is on this page:
www.seabreeze.com.au/gallery/gallery.asp?action=browse&categoryid=7&whichpage=32

No, but I was wondering if it took longer to actually write the code in the first place rather than clicking the smilies by hand.

Would it be possible to write a program that converts a smilie into a picture based on whatever you originally inserted the smilie about?
