Help Me Get My Math Back?
·
· Score: -1, Flamebait
Why do I never have mod points when I need them . . . good points all around. I mean, calculus is the core of our understanding of change. Without calculus, you might as well just things "improved" or "declined" and call it at that. And stats is pretty useless, especially in light of the fact it exists mostly to provide the cover of math to people who wish numbers weren't being used against them.
Did this guy really not think the involvement of the Church of Scientology was gonna cause the whole endeavor to get a tiny bit weird?
Also, there were major red flags. For example, he says that he pretty much repeatedly insulted them to their faces and they just kept on with the offer. It's pretty clear they were using him to get L Ron's unsellable script through the door far enough that the studios would accept there was no going back. They used him to front a sellable, perhaps even awesome, script to the studio when they knew all along the were filming their version of the movie.
They didn't bat an eyelash at his misbehavior because he was their frontman.
It's pretty psychopathic behavior when you get right down to it.
For example, calculus hasn't been of great use to me in programming with large data sets. Anything pertaining to patterns and iterations, on the other hand, has been invaluable. Especially when trying to get run times down to something usable. A slow process is nothing; a slow process repeated over 100,000 record while matching each record against a different data of 40,000 records . . . that's a pain in the ass.
It's an unconstitutional imposition on my God-given right to fly my plane straight into a mountain or an elementary school. Keep government out of the cockpit!
The folks dating wines use several other isotopes, too. Also, I don't think in this instance they're looking to date to specific years so much as prove that because of the range a particular vintage shows in testing, it can't possibly come from a particular year.
Even if I might not be able to give you an exact year it is, but I can easily prove a whole bunch of years that it isn't. If a bottle says it's from the court of Louis XIV, but the analysis shows it's from the 1920s, that's a big deal.
Also, we have excellent records of weather conditions going back centuries from many of the wineries. So, once you combine the analysis from the isotopes with what we already know about the wine in question, we can hazard a pretty good guess to the exact year. It's very possible that a particular wine could only have come from a single year during the range we have established for it.
And I'm sure some geek will add Bayesian error fixes to it after reading the article.
If video games cause real world behavior, based on sales of the EA NHL 94-99 series games, the NHL should be vastly more popular than it is today. There should be an entire generation of hardcore American hockey fans who grew up playing the EA games.
But, there isn't. No one played NHL 99 and suddenly decided to demand their community center add a hockey rink.
Is it a great bill? Fuck no. None of them ever are.
Is it the worst bill in history? Um, are you fucking retarded? Have you read a history book?
I mean, you're saying a very flawed form of universal healthcare would be worse than the Mann Act? The 18th Amendment? The Alien and Sedition Acts? The Missouri Compromise?
Seriously, dood. The language doesn't wholly belong to you, so please avoid butchering with your titty baby histrionics.
And for the record, if you don't like what we do in power, don't drive the country into a ditch the next time you're in power.
There are episodes of Futurama that were good. There were many episodes that were unwatchable. And frankly, Futurama never produced a truly great episode, along the lines of The Simpson first Treehouse of Horror or Spongebob's (that's right bitches, I'm invoking Spongebob) P.O.O.P. episode.
It's already being done on fractions of a cent in arbitrage between the closes and opens of various stock and currency markets. All legitimate trades, mind you.
Go back and look at the Societe Generale incident from 2008. And that guy was just working with Excel macros!!
All wealth is created in arbitrage. All wealth arises in the differences between what I know, what I can do, what I want to do and what you know, what you can do and what you want to do. If you hand over your target information, you've closed the gap so much that profit will disappear altogether -- especially if the botnet owner involved figures out what he can gain from the target.
Seriously. No one cares for biometrics. Aside from making for very sick dismemberment jokes in spy movies, biometrics haven't done much to go mainstream.
Before I get too mean, I should offer up that I admin databases. And if everything is a nail to a man with a hammer, everything is a hacking threat to a DBA.
I've seen too many people too gullible let strangers do too many things with their credentials, phones and credit cards to think twice about whether users should be hiking around with a security stick in their pocket -- the answer is a resounding NO, NO, NO, NO-NO-NO, NONONONO, NOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Because the person hiring you doesn't know shit from shit.

Everyone knows that BeOS is the best.

Not just that, but from the best of what I can see, they're not counting anything like Gmail, etc.
It's extra fluff to make Google sound like a skank whore that no man will ever want to fuck.
And analytics for backing the company's last big push double suck.
Don't underestimate how much Facebook is eating the lunch of folks like Yahoo Games, Pogo, etc.
So, you're counting all of Facebook's assets -- including Farmville! -- while only looking at Google's core.
Sloppy and lazy. You guys should be proud of putting this on Slashdot.
Admittedly, depending on who does the liquidation, they may mark things up and then place a 50% tag on the mark-up . . . but, we'll see.

This is true. The idea that Maxthon is a distinct browser from IE is pretty freakin' laughable.
Because let's be honest: with a game you can win my just repeatedly jamming the buttons for hours on end, it's not like screen resolution matters.
Seriously. No one cares for biometrics. Aside from making for very sick dismemberment jokes in spy movies, biometrics haven't done much to go mainstream.
Or the EU felt that Seamonkey was too close a derivation of Mozilla to count it a separate browser.
Hate to say, but you do need to be careful holding up such a self-selecting group as an example of Chinese goodwill toward the outside world.
