    He did not say his friends use Facebook.

  2. "Why is Google+ growing so quickly?" on Google+ Growing As a Social Backbone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe it's because it is invite only. I mean if something is exclusive, lot of people want in.

  3. Re:Open Distance Learning on South Korean Textbooks to Go Digital by 2015 · · Score: 1

    I found Formal Logic easier to read from a textbook (I guess it wouldn't matter if it was an electronic one). I was actually an old book which my uncle had used during his college days.

    I'm not sure if it's a good idea... Intel doesn't seem to be very good with battery (duh!).

  12. I found this bit interesting... on Research Credibility In the Video Game Violence Debate · · Score: 0

    from here "The data for the study came from the PsycINFO database, which provides more than 3 million references to the psychological literature from the 1800s to the present, including peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters or essays, and books." Something's wrong, I think. 3 million references is a lot!

    I'm not American. What exactly does Algebra I and Algebra II have? I'm guessing Algebra I is simple stuff like (a+b)^2 factorization etc. Is Algebra II counting and discrete math?

    Heh... I wish Khan Academy was around when I was in school. maybe I would have learnt biology better. I absolutely hated it. I've decided to watch all the Khan Academy videos on Biology during my term-break :)

    AFAIK, CAs wouldn't matter unless you want to contribute code to Google. If Google does release the source, we can use it to do whatever we want.

  24. Re:Primary Source on 12-Year-Old Rewrites Einstein's Theory of Relativity · · Score: 0

    That's not the point of his comment, there's a lot of work involved in understanding all the subjects mentioned above. By the time I was 15, I was able to do problems in real analysis (sans measure theory), Fourier Analysis (like electrical engineers, I'm still not doing this as a mathematician), some amount of multi-variable calculus, differential equations(ODEs not PDEs) and complex analysis (again like engineers). But I didn't learn all that in a week it took me many months. Of course I don't doubt what the kid's done but, I doubt that he did it in a week.

    damn, I meant: "if it wasn't for the title, it would have taken some time for me to figure out that it was *not* an actual bird :D" PS: does slashdot have a problem if I reply to my comment immediately? It complained about me not having access to the "resource"
