ok, for a uniform, solid material. What about for.. water? you have a round swimming pool that's however many feet deep, and you're trying to find the volume? Or for an art thing, you're trying buy enough BBs (the little metal sphere one shoots) to fill a cylindrical container a foot high?
In the real world, 9pi isn't very often a totally valid number. How much material do I need to cover this circular area? "Oh yes, supply co., I'm going to need 9pi square yards (or miles, or kms, or rods..) of your highest quality ____. Thank you!" Plugging in the numbers allows the students to see if the resulting number is a reasonable answer, secondly. That's a pretty crucial step, especially on a test. If your algebraic answer is 325x**2, that doesn't tell you nearly as much as the decimal equivalent.
involved, not complicated - like the Four Color [Conjecture]. Noone could figure out a way to actually prove it, so some one (or group of someones) wrote a program to systematically determine all the possible arrangements of regions in a simplified series of maps, and then figure out how to color each of those maps. The involved part was.. well, all of it. It wasn't necessarily very complicated, just labor-intensive. Computers are perfectly suited for tedium.
it's more like skinning a cat.. you're left with something that doesn't really work too well, isn't very attractive, although it smells better to the general population.
Oh, I already made a skin and used a multitude of vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system to insert it into all of the running configurations out there. You _have_ that skin.. doesn't it seem like everything is fine? Thought so. Actually, your box is in a continual state of 'crashed'
"04172004" (or 04/17/2004), MMDDYYYY, would really be read as "April seventeen 2004", NOT April seventeenth 2004". But we add the 'th' because that's sort of correct syntactically, and it sounds right. Similarly, "17042004" would be "Seventeen April 2004" but we would say it "the seventeenth of April, 2004" because it's correct syntactically and it sounds right
But oh, they can. And they can transport a group of mutant, talking turtles nearly the size of the carrier into LEO and further, where they can breathe without additional hardware. The only thing they require is pizza. And a nemesis. And a hot red-headed reported. And a giant mutant talking rat to train them. And - oh, hell. the nemesis probably wouldn't like it in space.. or at least his two goons would hate it. And as the nemesis would quickly show us, he will have a lot of sentimentality for his goons (they'll be dreadfully unintelligent, but he will keep them nontheless). Somewhere there might be a disembodied talking BRAIN?!, with eyes, in a robotic suit. Ok, so the brain is really sort of out there. I'm beginning to think those guys aren't real... *pouts*
Wow, lots of bad karma in the first couple posts..
[gossip]Anyway, so Microsoft fell asleep on the job.. [pipedream] Linux is surely going to take the purdy blue ribbon for rock-steady. I wonder when the optimal time to start teaching my friends' kids is.. [/pipedream][/gossip]
A plain firewall wouldn't help much - the connection would have to be encrypted. A firewall would only block inbound, unsolicited traffic from coming either via the Internet or through the outrageously unlikely (and useless, to boot) pirate transmissions (by the d00d sitting underneath the power lines outside your house with a laptop and a portable power plant mounted to the roof of his car.)
assuming they were all twenties, that's 50 bills.. probably there were a few more than that. Maybe it's not a 'wallet', but more of a 'purse' or 'money-bag'?

You did what now? Your first post said /.
But a better idea to mind where you place the power jack.. *zzzt*
