    [www.imdb.com?title/tt012591/quotes] Not the most quotable movie of all time (that award goes to Tombstone), but there were a few gems.

    Yessir, and any exercise that doesn't kill your brain makes it stronger. Problem solving (as simple a task as doing the math in your head) is cerebral bench pressing .

  5. Re:an example where algebra is useful? on Promoting Arithmetic and Algebra By Example · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it's merely the American failure to convert to the the rest of the World's default measurement system? Well, with the notable exception of the drug trade as many of our kids CAN convert an ounce or fraction thereof to grams...

    We do service work at customer's businesses and residences. We teach service techs to forego the use of the phrase "Uh-oh" at all costs. Our coded replacement phrase is, "Hmmm, THAT's interesting."

    Natural gas or LP is preferable for home comfort and water heating for many reasons, not the least of which is the bang for the buck consideration. Straight electric furnaces consume 85-90 amps while heating a 2500 square foot domicile with 20 kw heat strips. Heat pumps, which are essentially an air conditioner working in reverse, are the next best option when gas is not available or it is unwanted due to FUD.

  15. Re:When they start out-lawing overhead on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 1

    I wonder just WHO exactly companies are supposed to charge their overhead to? If the average successful business model is used, overhead is necessarily included in what customers are charged in order that the company can show a profit.

    Corporations are a way to shield a person or persons from liability when they do great evil collectively. They are merely a legal way for the kid who owns the most toys to keep them no matter what he does.
