The Back Room

If they're Jehovahs, I've found in the past that explaining Schrodinger's Cat to them (this takes about half an hour, so you've really got to be in the right frame of mind) works completely throws them and they go away looking confused. When I've been feeling less charitable, I have been known to invite them to become Blood Donors. Another trick is to tell them you've already been saved by another group (the Mormons work well in the UK, since there aren't many of them about. ;)) Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd Trouble with resource IDs?

This is an equation you cannot tell a formula for. It involves some calculus knowledge. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu

I think your Math teacher is right that showing the solution is appropriate, because it show s the students grasp of the topic, But in the real world the answer is important. This particular problem would take me many pages to document clearly using true math, so I'm not going to bother attempting it. But if you are interested, in still trying it I suggest you approach the first column on the right first and discover the possible values for 'N' and 'E' then move to the second column and discover if you can eliminate the values for them.

Damnit, my spectacles have stopped working because of that :-/ -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

On the countrary, I assure you I was not scouring the net for peniswear! It was the website of the week on a student radio station I listen to (web or WMP). ____________________ David Wulff hu·mour Pronunciation Key (hymr) n. & v. Chiefly British Dave's Code Project Screensaver and Wallpaper page.

Cool ! Thanks for the links ! This should serve as a needless prof that women in fact are so intelligent and capable as men or even more ! She worked past her 80 years ! :omg: What a great woman !

One of the two people who wrote by iostreams book is female, and it is VERY good. The only thing is that she is obviously smarter than I am, and I need to read every page five times. I think the barrier to girls programming is social, not biological. It exists right now, but will fade in time.

I don't see the big deal. I don't think Germans as a nation wanted to commit genocide, it was more a case of bystander apathy on a massive scale.

A couple of nights ago, my ISP server went down and I was suddenly offline :-( So I had to force myself to bed early and I had to wake up late too. A sort of intentional over-sleeping! Since I am not used to lying on a bed that long, my neck couldn't stand the strain! This is my theory. others here say I must have jerked my neck somewhere, but I don't do things like that.

I'd love to find those links, just to compare the quality of the feed. I've also heard that they're prescreening events near the end of production, so they might not be quite the same as the release version we'll all eventually get to see.

Excellent satire, Chris. Thanks for posting it:laugh:
