this would be true if we were to live in a 4 dimensional universe where the time dimension doesn't curve back on itself. As we all know, we don't know for sure if there are any more dimensions (string theory comes to mind...) and we certainly don't know if the time dimension doesn't curve back on itself.
Having said that, great read, nice foot, now go laugh!
Derive is the program that was most usefull to me when being in highschool. I know it's a windows program but I don't think you'll have any trouble running it under Wine (especially the older versions). It's not as bloated as mathematica or mathcad or mathlab, but it's also not in their price range (much more affordable for a standard family: 99-199$). It also features integration with some Texas Instruments Calculators right out of the box.

not neccesarily in that order ofcourse
people that don't have anything to do with software but hardware:
moore (moore's 'law') von neumann (von neumann model) blaise pascal (automated calculator) charles babbage (what did he do again? some automated machine?)
i had those lessons in univ from someone who designed computer chips, and even now it's probably impossible for us univ students to come up with a better cpu design than those around, i just guess people really need to deepen themselves in the subject and follow the curren t cpu design (maybe even work at amd/intel/sparc/transmeta) to get enough background, before comming up with a truly better design.
how much morons would have taken it this time to figure that one out?;-) as much as they needed to screw in their new light-bulb at the mess-hall?
seems they discovered to make all those refrig magnets they send out there have some use after all!

I think this will answer your questions:

i used to do the same thing with my homework, but for a totally different reason.
did u mean omgbrbbbq?
A beowulf cluster of those (sorry, had to do it ;-) )
yeehaa! and btw, isn't this a dupe?
Actually, The rounding he uses is also correct.
What you apply is a round to nearest, which is ok, but not statistically correct. IEEE uses round to odd/even, dependent on the base you use.
If the base you use/2 = odd -> round to even and vice versa
so he was calculating in base 10 (10/2=5=odd) so a round to even was more correct that your assumption.
