[Not a programming question]
My son was just playing Lego Lord of the Rings on his 3DS and hit what appears to the maximum number of studs -- 4,200,000,000 -- so apparently the game uses an unsigned 32-bit integer, but why not the full 4,294,967,295 ?

Only 9.4% ? I think not.

I must admit I don't often encounter "4,200,000,000" and "is that all there is" in the same thought.

You might also want to check if your son is signed!

Someone put a limit check in an so they wrote the first literal rather than the second. Perhaps because they didn't want to figure out the real number and didn't know how to write a literal as an expression. Or perhaps because there is something that can add a 'large' number to the value and they wanted to make sure the limit was hit well before that could occur.

Because when you strip the zeros, you get 42.

Are you sure that the one on the left isn't an exhibit? 'Cause she scares the bejeezus outta me!

My favorite was #118. Sheer terror.

I only got the the twenties or so before my "same-sh*t-different-day" filter cut in and closed it...

I was sitting in a Denny's in Wytheville, VA with my laptop and a waitress looking over my shoulder. We went thru the whole bunch.

There was one that resembled one of my ex-wives.

This serves as a fine example of quantity over quality.
I think I got to about 23 before I realised I didn't care any more.
What they need to do is do a top 10 - release it then later on add a link to 'even more' - and so on. If I enjoyed the 10 I'd probably come back for another helping - but gorging until you vomit doesn't make you want to come back for more!

I got thru them all, but that was at least partly because there were two of us looking and we were laughing all the way through.

I was flicking through the channels and landed on The Railway Children (the 1970 version).
Next thing I know I am watching it and enjoying it.
Sally Thomsett plays the 11 year old Phyllis, but was 20 years old!
I haven't seen the film since I was about 11, and had forgotten how good it was, in an innocent, simple way.

It is so easy to do that......It is only when your realise you are doing what your are doing that it is too late and you are as well to just watch till the end 
I find myself watching stuff with the kids and then they get up of the sofa and disappear, I don't even notice and before I know it I'm watching Spongebob or Nina and the Neurons or some other kids program.
