From this, I draw 3 questions:<br /><br />1) Why the hell would anyone want 150 comments to liberate a site he hates?<br /><br />2) Does he really think people care that much about xkcdsuxredux or any site as such in general?<br /><br />3) Who was the dimwit who messed up with the forums and directed that asshole to xkcdsuxredux?<br /><br />This last one gets an addendum: I usually disagree hard with the forumites and despise them in general, but I have one unwritten rule which is now written, and that is: not mess with the fandom so they don't mess with me. Not an act of cowardice, but just as I don't like having XKCD shoved at my face in every site I go, I avoid mentioning how much I hate XKCD to fans.<br /><br />That's why I think that must be the work of a dimwit.<br /><br />End of report.<br /><br />CAPTCHA: wargram.

Like someone else was trying to point out to you, only a BINARY heap must be a complete tree. However, binary heaps are the standard so most introductory data structures books/classes just call them heaps. General heaps only have ONE restriction and that is that if Node B is a child of Node A then key(A) >= key(B).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-47977951383915016302010-12-18T13:11:12.129-08:002010-12-18T13:11:12.129-08:00Palin never ran for Congress, you intellectual dou...Palin never ran for Congress, you intellectual douche.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-72788784403077557092010-12-18T09:26:42.852-08:002010-12-18T09:26:42.852-08:00"'once you look at every little bit, it c..."'once you look at every little bit, it can lose it's humor.'<br /><br />[...]this is true--but only of bad jokes. good jokes stand up to analysis and nitpicking detail.
