You found the LCD of the two fractions, this is something you would learn when adding fractions. Sure it may just make sense but when the equations get more complicated you have to know how to add fractions when everything is variables.
A kid who can't add 3/5 + 5/6 without a calculator will have a hard time solving for x in this equation when he gets to algebra.
x/5 + 2x/3 = 13

My favorite proof of this in C:

Does the last line compile? If it does what prints out?
Sure, it's a legit company, but uses a pyramind like scheme. Anyway.
Nothing wrong with diagreeing with the majority of people. But when you start saying the majority of people are crooks and nutjobs,
Try using more insults and swear words, it makes you look so intelligent. As opposed to coming off as a bitter 19 year-old with the maturity of someone in junior high.
Not at all a waaa. The Germen won because of the time and effort they were willing to put in. And there robot programming skill
But having a sponser certainly helps. Where the Germans had 20? people working on it, some full time. The Americans, according to the article, were working on it between classes.
Congrats to the Germans, untill the Americans take it more seriously they will be lucky to win.

Not what I was implying at all.
Ther eis a difference between uses a calculator as a tool and using a calculater as a crutch.
I could teach my daughter(5 years old) how to multiple number on the calculator, But does she understand what she is really doing.
The kids are being tested on fractions, therefore don't let them uses a calculator that does fractions.
If they are doing trig or calc let them use a calculator.
But if they are being tested on the graphics of linear equations, don't them use a graphings calculator.
Like letting kids use a dictionary on a spelling test.
Why did you multiply by 15?
You found the LCD of the two fractions, this is something you would learn when adding fractions. Sure it may just make sense but when the equations get more complicated you have to know how to add fractions when everything is variables.
2x/y + 3/x = 4x etc
I think you get the point.
What's wrong with the fraction function?
Nothing unless you are being tested on fractions.
A kid who can't add 3/5 + 5/6 without a calculator will have a hard time solving for x in this equation when he gets to algebra.
x/5 + 2x/3 = 13

I got it free, shipped in 1 week time. I do not have a MSDN subscription.
It is not the Express version.
Came with some SQL server software also.
How long? I thought this was very easy. Maybe that's why it's first?
But the another numbers can't be put any way you want? Remember no repetition?
But once you have the first 3 lines the rest is pretty easy.

So you think they is no god. Congrats.
Please know the you are disagreeing with the large majority of people.
But I know you are just smarter than everyone else.
So glad you are here to enligtment all us small minded people.
I never said there was a god(s). I just said not every single church in existance was started by a crook or a nutjob.
You complain about crooks by have a freeipod link. Humorous.
No, but they belong to a church.
So they are following a crook or a nutjob?
I know some people who have started church they are neither crooks or nutjobs.
Because your argument was so wise?
You pretty much called over 80% of the people either a crook or a nutjob.
So glad we have you to set us straight.
Any yet your complaining....
And you would be wrong.
Nope, I got this from reading about interviews with him.
Some of the quotes I found quite surprising.
That's a dumb comparison.
The games are what matter.
No one wants a BMW if there are no raods to drive it on.
Actually that's very interesting.
The chart I saw compared US with other country's
Does that also include the other country's savings.
i.e. Japan saved 18%
Does that not include housing(they rent more?)
And why is Apache doing so well?
Why in BSD used in OS X?
One example does not make it true.
I should have said software business.
Stallman clearly states that software developers should not get paid anymore than a gas station clerk.
What is a TPTB?
There is a lot of places to save money other than a bank.
A bank should only be used for short term savings.
Where's the incentive? How about what are you going to live on when you 65?
Dpending upon your age, you really don't have to save that much a month.
If a 18 year old just maxed out his ROTH IRA every year($2,000) he would most likely be set come 65.
I am interested in money stuff.
Americans are the worst in the world when it comes to saving.
One year 2002? the savings rate was -.2%
That's worse than pitiful.
I moved in the beginning of summer to a small town where I knew no one 8th grade.
I had a little TI-99 computer.
I wore it out the summer. I couldn't get any new games for it, so I started programming my own.
graphics sucked on that machine so they were all text games but looking back they weren't that bad.
A few years later I got a IBM AT and was so excited about the possibility of programming.
I ended just playing Might and Magic all the time.
Sure, I tauhg myself C, but my lack of self-discipline cost me.
Funny, looking back I enjoyed the programming more than the playing of games.
But even now I would rather game than program.
I would agree. I think one reason why America has done well for so long is because of immigrants.
Most immigrants are willingly to work their arse off to get ahead. They also value education more so then the average american.
At least that he been my perception.
The GPL sucks for businesses. That's why Stallman came up with it.
I believe, Open Source is good for business in the long run, but I can't understand why most businesses would use GPL software in their code.
It may save them time but many times there is just as good BSD-type software out there.
I find the whole thing quite interesting and will be fun to watch over the decade.
Shut up Stallman
