− | + | [[Randall]] has a special fascination with motorized {{w|skateboard}}s. A {{w|Longboard (skateboard)|longboard}} is a skateboard that is longer, and is used for downhill races, and skating through less urban areas (college campuses, for example). | |
− | + | {{w|Mario Kart}} is a game for {{w|Nintendo}} game consoles that allows four players to race each other while having good spirited fun ([[290|sometimes]]) while throwing power-ups at each other. | |
− | + | {{w|Calvin and Hobbes}} was a comic strip drawn by {{w|Bill Watterson}} that ran for 10 years from November 1985 to December 1995. Calvin was a boy that could not stay out of trouble, and always had his trusty stuffed tiger Hobbes, who was also his best imaginary friend, by his side. Many times the two would pile into his red radio flyer wagon and have philosophical discussions as they were racing down picturesque hill scenes. | |
− | + | {{w|C (programming language)|C}} is a {{w|High-level programming language|high-level}} {{w|programming language}}. {{w|Assembly language|Assembly}} is a {{w|low-level programming language}} that is specific and custom to each computer {{w|processor architecture}}. Jokingly, it has been said that C "combines the flexibility of assembly language with the power of assembly language." [http://www.ubiquit.us/retrohomepage/jsq.html] Meaning that it is essentially, more complex, for exactly the same capability. {{w|Python (programming language)|Python}}, on the other hand, [[353|frees the programmer]] from having to worry about pointers, and memory allocation, and just lets the code flow through the programmer until they are one with the force, err... computer. | |
