The complaint about redundant information with the suplemental angle is nonsense. And he limits himself to triangle geometry.
I really doesn't buy that argument about it beeing more natural. Why should I square the pages of a triangle? And he talks about special cases only shortly after complaioing about suplemental angles, and he also adds ac/ob. And how should young kids learn geometry? How does he intend to handle circular things? What the finite fields means is a mystery to me.
The example on page 14,15,16 clearly shows how simple the proposed method is.(irony). Inaccurate with the classical way? If he did it the classical way without calculating any of the approximate values, like the alpha angle, he would not only find the "mysterical" sqrt(7). He would also find sqrt(2). Nice though to get the second solution.
Finaly. He's just making a fool out of himself. He complains about the flaws in the classical way, but gladly uses perpendicular things, and other intuitive things.
It might be of interest as a curiosity, nothing else. There is no value in this for calculations unless it handles all the fields where trig things are used.
" We know some IP addresses cannot be shared by one person. These are the ones that would require a person to move faster than possible. If we have one IP address in New York, then one in Tokyo 60 minutes later, we know it can't be the same person because you can't get from New York to Tokyo in one hour."
Everheard of ssh and similar tools to make that travel? And they put this on slashdot. Ignorance, just pure ignorance...

It might be good to get some extra training using computers. That might be a good thing. Ouch, it hurts to be that optimistic.
Of course it's more fun to use a computer. Something happens everything i press a button! What good is a textbook for? No [replace with something adults don't want kids to see] in dry old books.
"use google" is going to be the answer for everything, and I think that is to let the kids down, BIG TIME! Hasn't the grownups more to tell the kids? Isn't there things that they haven't learnt yet that we need to tell the kids?
They should learn stuff, not learning to find them on the net, which unfortunately has become the easy way for teachers in hopeless situations.
What is this going to cost compared to textbooks? I hate to be the one to fix broken computers...
It will be very easy for NASA to kill the astrologer if they are going to loose this case (which they surely will not). I think they will have to give some proof of that astrology really works! Then Mr. Randi, you'll loose your money!
It would be so much more interesting if a large organisation with resources like the scientology organisation would sue NASA.
and that they make a totaly new script and a new director, and make 3 good movies instead of the total crap we got. The first two are crap, the third one is only missing sidious and yoda wrestling on the floor to be ranked as the worst movie since episode 1.

"186 miles per hour (300 kph) - more than 270 feet per second."
Why not inches per year or any other useful unit?
meters per second or (if you really insist, kilometers per hour). No other units!
I thought it was geeks storming a certain building in Redmond in this movie.
they made it a crime not to tell you passwords, etc,
if the gov' need it.
In the US, they can't do anything right it seems.
For crying out load, HE's READING SLASHDOT? Do you really think we need more of those??

I stick with the OpenBSD songs.
Go to law school and then work for free for RIAA, MPAA, etc.

I'd say: let's protect us a 100 years FROM Britney Spears!

What they should do is take Gambas and Free Pascal and create {K|G|X|Open}elphi. Kylix just sucks.
octave or scilab if you dont have any money to spend on a program.
would have to say about Moore's law. A much celebrated "law" that continuosly changes to adapt to reality. Ignorant morons.
I can't wait until we can hear the things people thinks!
It's just too bad that Gambas doesn't run on Windows.
They should change the password to -13
since 1-2-3-4-5 = -13.
"positive impact on productivity"???
What are you smoking?
Now that is a very interesting statement. I asume that by "you" you mean a maximum of 10% of all computer users.
As far as I can see, people are more interested in science than ever.
What makes you think that?
Now people can start doing numerical simulations really fast!
Two simple rules:
1)You need to pay the bills. (trust me on that one)
2)Enjoy your job or find a new one if there are unsolvable problems at work.
If money is important, you might become a prostitute (C#, XML, etc.) and go for a higher salary and a less fun job.
