When multiple senses point to the same "memory" it is easier to remember. Those with synesthesia have a leg-up. I saw a program a while back where someone with synesthesia could multiply crazy big numbers nearly instantly due to the "shape and color" of how a number felt, and that the negative space between it and other number's "shape and color" gave them the answer. Amazing.
Not everyone thinks that averaging the two amounts to sound research
Did anyone else read that as the "two amounts" (as in two values)? The sentence seemed unfinished after that. I would have chosen a different word, perhaps, "...two qualifies..."
Case and point to back up the notion of word recognition causing students to be completely incapable of pronouncing a word: I mostly learned to read by word recognition. I had enough stories repeated read to me that I just picked up on how to read. Flash forward to a few years ago. I would keep seeing these dang Buick REN-DENZ-VOUS (Ren, like Ren and Stimpy; Denz, like the plural of "den"; Vous like.. I donno.. rhymes with "bus"). I was wondering, who in their right mind, would name a vehicle such an odd word. It occurred to me, much later, that the dang word was rendezvous, as in to meet up. It's fairly embarrassing.
I'm sure there are already a bazillion replies to this. To prove it to myself, I did an algebraic proof. Set x = 0.999..., so 10x = 9.999..... Subtract them and get 9x = 9, or x = 1.
However, curious how my 12 year old daughter would interpret 0.999...=1, I sat that in front of her and asked what she though. She said, "nope, doesn't work." I corrected her by saying, "Ok, well, I'm gunna tell you that it is equal. Can you tell me why?" She thought for about thirty seconds and had this:
1/9 is 0.1111.... Multiply both sides by 9 and get: 1 = 0.999....
I think her answer was vastly more elegant than my own. This is like the 10th opportunity I have had to brag about this particular situation.:)
Didn't you read the arti.... oh, wait. Slashdot. Right. From the article: "For clarity, the following definition is used for a socially-engineered malware URL: a web page link that directly leads to a download that delivers a malicious payload whose content type would lead to execution, or more generally a website known to host malware links. These downloads appear to be safe, like those for a screen saver application, video codec upgrade, etc., and are designed to fool the user into taking action. Security professionals also refer to these threats as “consensual” or “dangerous” downloads."
I like Netflix -- combined with my Wii, it is great. Also on my Wii, I have a USB loader that allows me to play my back-upped games without having to insert the CD each time. Is there a similar thing that can be done with, say, a blue-ray player, an external hard-drive, and my movie collection? I would imagine a situation where I put my DVD into the player, it recognizes that this movie has not been saved to the hard drive, and copies it (prolly with an ISO to preserve menus and such) and then lets me play any of my movies on demand. Does anyone have success with a similar type of system? Is it all "do it yourself" or is there a product that can be purchased somewhere? Thanks for any help.

We don't eat out, we don't shop for non-essentials. 75k per year would make a world of difference in our lives.

TI's concern for cheating has nothing to do with those who can't solve one-variable algebra exams or do simple multiplication. TI is concerned with cheating (or should I say the money flow that could dry up if their calculators allowed cheating) on AP exams -- you know, the ones that give college credit to high schoolers. We are talking about AP Calculus students. They don't need the extra practice with basics, they need to do some quick (and sometimes heavy) calculations so they can get back to the "math" of the exam.

You too.
I don't play that much, but I'm 55 hours (ridiculous -- I DO have better things to do) into Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii. The last time I played a Zelda game it was gold on the NES; I could beat the first part/quest of the game in about an hour. I'm only still on this 55 hour business out of sheer stubbornness. I did like Fable at around 10 hours though.

Goodwin'd on the first post. Bravo.

I tried to turn it to 11, but it only goes to 5...
So, I think that 2+2=5 (for large values of 2) and you say that 2+2=4. A good decision would be to compromise and say that 2+2=4.5. //me ducks
