If you ask the probability of it landing heads twice in a row, before the first flip, then the probability is.5*.5=.25. Now, if you ask the probability of it landing heads twice in a row, given that the first flip has landed heads, the probability is.5. Why? The probability that the first flip is heads is no longer.5; it is 1.0. Nothing to do with thinking about the flips, nothing to do with atomic events, nothing. The probability of an event that has already happened is 1.
Its like the story about the guy who carries a bomb on every plane he flies, his reasoning being, "Heh, whats the probability that there are 2 bombs on board?"
Yes, but given that the house has been hit once, the probability reverts back to the same as before. The probability that a coin lands heads twice, given that it has landed heads once, is.5.
I thought in ID4 they were Marines? Maybe I'm mistaken? Nope, here ya go. http://www.nitpickers.com/movies/nitpick.cgi?np=58 39"
On a side note, I agree with everything you said.
Honestly! It just appeared from the quantum foam! I had no idea! What? Theres a law against inadvertantly causing a new universe to form? An Anti-Bang law?
I was just hoping that the criminalization of sex would actually increase the chances of me getting laid!
Only if there is a just and loving god..... we can all hope.
1. Never log on to the net, never use your telephone, never mail anything via USPS. 2. Make a change in goverment - the election process. Yeah, I know it is a slow, ugly process to get any kind of change done, but it is the only way to effect change in this country.
I smell a big ol fat catch-22. With bacon.
I constantly look everywhere while I walk. I started doing this when I realized I get really bored. Keeps my occupied. The sneakiness is really funny too. I see everyone before they see me. I've walked past someone who was "in" the door of an elevator, pushed my button, they turned around, saw me, and nearly had a heart attack. They said "Where the fuck did you come from!"
What's weird is that I can't really sneak up on someone when I want too... It only happens when I'm not actively trying.
The Phallus of Malice. Drunken College students at Wal-Mart dare not mess with him at 3 a.m. when he carries this. It's hilarious. They'll make a stupid comment, and he's free to mouth them off continuously because, well, he has a freakin baseball bat. It's a great equalizer.
Since you appear to have a knowledge in such things. There is a strength training book called "Power to the People" by Pavel Tsatsouline. In it, a program for training the nervous system to access dormant and rarely used muscle fibers for greater strength without gaining weight is detailed. It's pretty good, but a tad pricey. Used prices are great though. www.Dragondoor.com
I believe something of this nature was planned to be done with Driver (which kicked ass by the way) for the cities in the game. But I'm not sure it was 100% successful.
