I've actually seen a digital camera with a 3.5" floppy drive. Not sure who would use one, but it existed.

any camera receives input, stores and manipulates data, and provides output. cameras are computers.

Those only existed in early days where flash memory cards weren't widely available.
The world's very first digital camera made by Kodak used standard audio cassettes as storage device.

By that logic, an analog watch is a computer. "Increment" counts as manipulating data, after all.

The resolution would SUCK, though. At medium-quality JPEG compression, you could only fit a single 0.3 megapixel image on a floppy. Unless I messed up my math.

"Current time" sounds like data to me.

those 5 MP images I posted earlier only take up about 600 KB so yeah you messed up your math pretty bad

$time = 0;
print ++$time while true;

That's the code for a clock, right there. As you can see, there is data, the manipulation thereof, and output.

That's not the code for any real-world clock I can think of.

Here's the code for a 24hour digital clock (in Python):

from time import sleep

hours = 0
minutes = 0
seconds = 0

while 1:
   seconds += 1
   if seconds == 60:
      seconds = 0
      minutes += 1
      if minutes == 60:
         minutes = 0
         hours += 1
         if hours == 24:
            hours = 0
   print "\r" + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds,
   sleep(1)

This does NOT take into account things like hardware clocks (to be accurate you'd need to start this at exactly midnight), user time setting (simply put, you can't set this clock), etc.

[butre]

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main() {
  time_t t;
  time(&t);
  printf("%s\n", ctime(&t));
  getch();
}

When I was in lower secondary school, all the schools in the area had private armadas of those. The resolution wasn't great, but there was nothing wrong with the picture quality.

They look funny though:

Fuck, I was searching for that photo where Robert Pattinson uses his semen for hair gel so I could show my sister and google pulled up some weird anime porn shit.

Fuck sake google.

Anyone have that picture by any chance?

"edward cum hair"

Or some shit.

Another quick question.

How much should I spend on my first gaming rig, I am currently saving up for one.
Need it for serious high end gaming.

[howling techie]

Great, due to unfortunate circumstances I have had to replace the motherboard, battery and the charger for my laptop. Nearly £100 (luckily I know someone who can get (or had) a motherboard at a cheaper price) in total. I swear I am cursed when it comes to technology.

It was a scene where he forgot to wipe up some 'juices' which apparently got onto his hair, the chick thought it was gel and used it.

It stayed up for quite a while.

I remember that movie! Well, scene at least :D
