Mar 18, 2014 at 16:31 comment added Radiodef @ThorbjørnRavnAndersen The numbers appear in the television show Lost. There is actually not really a whole lot more to it than that. They are a plot device and part of the lore.

Mar 14, 2014 at 18:27 comment added Radiodef @kojiro I left it open to interpretation so I suppose that would be a valid entry. "Outputs infinitely" implies you have infinite time to output them. But it would be difficult to demonstrate it works and unfiltered output wouldn't be obvious on its own.

Mar 13, 2014 at 13:21 comment added kojiro I notice the question does not prohibit outputting other numbers. So at least according to infinite-monkey-theory an unadulterated pseudo-random number generator should do the trick.

Mar 12, 2014 at 18:16 comment added Radiodef @Geobits I didn't see you had actually already done it until after the edit but you got an up vote from me since it was a thing I had in mind. : ) I tried to find a seed myself but wasn't able to.
Mar 12, 2014 at 18:13 comment added Geobits When I saw the edit that added a link to "fix a pseudo-random generator", I thought it would point to my answer below. Instead it links to a page on SO :(

Mar 12, 2014 at 17:55 comment added Radiodef @Vereos I get what you meant, I am just saying I still don't understand where the down votes came from.

Mar 12, 2014 at 17:48 comment added Vereos @Radiodef The point of my sentence was not that; I just wanted to enhance the fact that in my opinion a downvote should always be paired to a (more or less) kind comment.
Mar 12, 2014 at 17:31 comment added Radiodef @manatwork That's a good point, I forgot about underscores. Not sure if I should edit the OP. I thought about loopholes like this but ultimately figured that answers that take advantage of loopholes would be unpopular so it didn't make much of a difference.
Mar 12, 2014 at 17:29 comment added Radiodef @Vereos 'Pretty trivial to solve' isn't even particularly constructive considering that many popularity contests are trivial to solve and the point is not to do the bare minimum.

Mar 12, 2014 at 16:57 comment added Vereos @PeterTaylor For sure, but newcomers mostly will not get that and leave the site instead of trying to improve their future questions. I guess that This isn't an interesting question, IMHO, since the solution is pretty trivial. Please post in the sandbox next time. would be way better than This is a stupid question., but that's just my personal opinion.

Mar 12, 2014 at 14:30 comment added V-X This might have been funny as code-golf...
Mar 12, 2014 at 14:01 comment added Jonathan Van Matre "Should I post these suggestions?" If you are changing the rules of the contest, no. If you just want to provide some ideas to get people to try approaching the challenge differently, go for it! Also, bear in mind there are no bonuses in a popularity contest...the votes reign supreme.
Mar 12, 2014 at 13:59 comment added daniero @Vereos I was just thinking the same thing (... and 8 answers). I don't think the question is great, but I gave an upvote (and a comment) to even it out a bit.
Mar 12, 2014 at 13:57 comment added manatwork “You may not use the numeral 1 followed by the numeral 5” – So “1_5” is valid? Because ruby and perl just interprets it as 15.
