For 16 pieces that are all different the answer is 16! (!=factorial ie. 16x15x14...x1)
But, we have duplicate combinations because there are identical pieces being used. The number of duplicate combinations is =
2 (for Rooks) x 2 (for Knights) x 2(for Bishops) x 8! (for Pawns).
This gives 8x8! = 322560.
Dividing 16! by 322560 gives us the number of unique combinations for a normal chess set. = 64864800 different ways.

The Tokamok Reactor! Err, Takomak, Tokomak, something like that. It was in my Chemistry book (year ago, 2 years ago? *has bad memory*), and I remembered that it looked like tomahawk at first glance. It's on fusion reactor that doesn't use fission to start the process. As it said in the Chemistry book, it can only generate enough energy to power itself, so it's not much use now.Originally posted by evilbutterfly
And now for a Q-ish moment. If we would all start buying solar cells and gas-electric hybrid cars, companies would put more research into making more efficient stuff. If they see that there's a demand for energy-efficient stuff, they'll supply us with more of it. Kinda like light bulbs. Nobody wants a crazy lightbulb that sucks up electricity, they want one that will last them years and won't cost them much while still providing light. Cars are a different matter, though. People want fast cars, sleek cars, things they can rev the engine and all the ladies suddenly wanna get to know them. Solar cars seem nerdy and nobody wants them, so they don't get bought, so they aren't made as much. If people started making sports cars that are powered with solar panels or something, maybe there would be more of an interest in that sort of thing.
And running out of space is an option. There may be thousands of square miles now, but people expand. Not only will the space used increase, but the space availble to be used will decrease. Also, you can't just bury it anywhere. We talked about this in AP Environmental Science. You have to bury it in a place where run-off won't occur much. Most deserts have a lot of runoff (which is part of why they're deserts) and aren't proper burial sites. There is one place where they're thinking of taking all the radioactive waste and burying it, and it's pretty big and is a suitable site, and it's far away from any people and water. How long that one awesome place will last...I dunno. If it's known I just can't remember, but sitll, it can only last for so long.
Proper energy use is not something that can be looked at on the scale of one lifetime. What we do with our resources now can have a huge impact thousands of years from now. May be we forget about the nuclear burial sites decades after the stuff is buried (yet it's still radioactive) and people expand and build on the area. That could harm countless numbers of people. Also, what we're doing to the land and the air from mining and burning of fuels is just terrible, and if we keep it up the Earth and humanity won't last that long. It may all seem harmless now, but in the long run bad things will come. Things must be done and quickly.
(backup for my post in another thread, in case FFR or my wireless goes down)So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(
In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.
So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
And I write the blog for their website.
Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =OComment
