New Term Introduced Today,Triangle Of Death! Any Thoughts?
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 02:57 AM by norml
Link to Google News search... http://news.google.com/news?q=triangle%20of%20death&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=wn And 1,580,000 results from a Google web search for this term. Any speculations on the introduction today of the term "Triangle Of Death" to the current situation in Iraq? Has the term "Sunni Triangle" been replaced?

1. It isn't even a triangle
Furthermore, it is another way to marginalize the conflict by containing it within some arbitrary boundary. Clearly, the rebellion is much broader than we are allowed to believe. Any news about Iraq is heavily perfumed and massaged prior to release to the American public.

2. Now only 6,090 Google News results for Sunni Triangle.
The last usage of the term "Sunni Triangle" in a news story,according to Google,was on November 17th. 2004.

3. the usual same ol same ol bushCartel propaganda
They love to just make shit up.

Funny thing is, the ONLY people on the entire planet bush & his Cartel fool/dupe/con/trick are the 51% rightwingnut rubes in America.

And the rest of the world just laughs at such total deep ignorance.

6. I think that for the Sunni to have what was being called their triangle
to now have it be called Triangle of Death,by the Bush propaganda machine,can't be good for the Sunni.

7. How about Pascal's Triangle of Death?


Pascal's Triangle of Death

In this problem, you are asked to generate Pascal's Triangle. Pascal's Triangle is useful in many areas from probability to polynomials to programming contests. It is a triangle of integers with ``1'' on top and down the sides. Any number in the interior equals the sum of the two numbers above it. For example, here are the first 5 rows of the triangle.


1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1


In ``Pascal's Triangle of Death,'' you are to generate a left justified Pascal's Triangle. When any number in the triangle is exceeds or equals 1060, your program should finish printing the current row and exit. The output should have each row of the triangle on a separate line with one space between each element.

The final element of each line should be directly followed by a newline. There is no space after the last number on each line.


Sample Input
There is no input for this problem.


Sample Output

1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
.

.
etc.

10. Down the street from the Valley of Doom,
Right next door to the Vortex of No Return, not far from the River of Blood, the Forest of Fear, the Mountains of Misery, etc.
