in thread how to get a 64bit random number with rand() ?

Let's be fair. 'Anonymous Monk' has alerted the OP that in some cases, more powerful tools are required and are available. Potentially, this could be the most important post so far.

    I agree, but Sundial is the most destructive force so far.

    While - to cite myself - being stupid is not a crime, we shouldn't go crazy and spend much more energy on fighting him, than he needs for provocation.

    The regulars already know how to handle his "advice", it's only necessary to shortly warn others.

    There are already enough analysis of his behaviour in the archives to link to.

    Having said that ...

    ... he recently threatened to sue the monastery, personally I think this is indeed a reason to "uninvite" him from this party here.

    I could alert all the monks that getting a prostate exam is a good idea which could potentially be the most important post for some monk in the history of the site. Not necessarily germane though.
