(Obviously there's an error somewhere in this formula, but that's the fun of it :mrgreen:

Your error was here:

5. 2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 - ab

Since ab= a^2, then your expression above is the same as below:

2a^2 - 2a^2 = 0

Muses at how much of a math nerd I am. ;)

That's not true, actually.

If you substitute -3 for x, you get \sqrt{3} = i\sqrt{-3}, that is, \sqrt{3} = -\sqrt{3}.

Actualllly....;)

if x=-3 then sqrt{-(-3)} = isqrt{-3}

Then, we know that sqrt{a} x sqrt{b} = sqrt{a x b}

Therefore, we have:
sqrt{3} = sqrt{-3 x -1}

Which equals:

sqrt{3} = sqrt{3}

It's kinda funny.

It's a Canadian company, and allows Canadian-only visitors, yet the servers are based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ;)

That's odd. Win98 and ME are 2 different operating systems.

Win 98 SE from what I recall (its been 8 years ;) ) is the most basic form of Win98.

But I guess that doesn't help ya on why it isn't working.


Could ya just reclarify what the exact problem is?

'Stein 150 Lapsed Skeptic Team Colleague

Thanks for everything, Christian.

On what basis do you make this judgement? If you're an atheist, do you really believe that you "evolved from a rock"?

If I was an oracle, I'd say this will soon be a very argumentative thread. :)

Do you ever play games? MacBooks suck at gaming, so get the MacBook Pro if you want to do any real gaming.

Not so much, although I'll always have the ability to use my PC for that.

How big do you want your screen to be? The MacBook's only come in 13" models, whereas MacBook Pro comes in 15" and 17".

That might be a small issue. I've tested the 13" before, and they seem fine to me. However, I might be looking at the 15"

Intel Core 2 Duos are inside both MacBooks/MacBook Pros, so unless you need really, really fast clock speeds, the MacBook's 1.8 Ghz Core 2 Duos should be perfectly fine.

Excellent.

Processor speed isn't quite as critical at this point, because multitasking is more about RAM than about your processor's clock speed.

:o Shows how much I know about hardware...

Joeprogrammer, thanks for the response. :)

'Stein 150 Lapsed Skeptic Team Colleague

Ok, I'll admit it. I want an Apple. ;)

I've been a PC user since being introduced to computers way back when.

My question now is, what specs should I be looking at?

First off, I'm set on buying a laptop. That leaves the MacBook and the Pro.

In PC usage, I'm quite a heavy user. Usually I'll have an instant messenger client, iTunes, and the internet open eternally. On top of this, I have photoshop open at times as well.

My main question is whether 2 gigs of RAM will cover me on a 2.33ghz processor?

I'm feeling a bit pathetic right now that I'm the only one who referred to DaniWeb as a "she" ... but I meant it in the "captain and her ship" type of way.

;) I was just going to comment on that.

To me, Daniweb is a solely a place of learning. It is the only place I mod at, and I guess it just teaches ya stuff about people. Oh, and I can't even relate to how much technical knowledge I've learned just watching threads here.

Oh, and I think it's worth saying that when I found Daniweb early last year, it's what really pushed me into the nerd I am.

Christmas, although we celebrate it in the present-less state (well, except for a few).

I strongly feel, like Sharky said, that Christmas has become too corrupted by businesses.

As a pagan (Wiccan) I celebrate the Sabbat of Yule on December 21.

I still find that so cool/intersesting. :) (In a good way)

Very true.

However, later in his life, he tried working on the unified field theory, which tried to incorporate all sciences (including quantum theory, from what I recall) into one theory.

EDIT:

Also, quantum theory was the basis for his "dice" comment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein

Copenhagen Interpretation" section (1.3.2) above, reference was made to the disagreement regarding Einstein's actual position regarding the quantum theory. The famous quotation "God does not play dice" is often used to support the majority view that he disliked the theory due to its indeterminism.

Others make the case for a different view. They note that the 1926 "Dice" quotation occurred when the quantum theory was just in its first year of discovery and in the subsequent 30 years of his life, one would be hard pressed to find a similar comment from the man. Instead Einstein focused on the conceptually independent subject of 'incompleteness'.

I think I must add, I hate MessengerPlus from the security perspective.

With most downloads, 'addons' are checked for installation (with a checkbox to opt out).

However, one of the 'addons' is LOP, a difficult infection to remove that's been known to cause some harm to computers.

When I visited Italy, I began with an overnight train ride from France into Italy. I must say, the trainride itself was quiite nice.

When in the country itself, I only saw Rome. As sad as I am to say it, it felt dirty all over the place, with graffiti rampart.

Nevertheless, I thought it was worth seeing Vatican City and other historical buildings in Rome.

It looks like a great post, except for one thing.

The soul is not a material thing. Irregardless of how the body is put together, but if no soul is present, then there is no life.

'Stein 150 Lapsed Skeptic Team Colleague

That is an imagenary number. I think it is represented by the letter 'i'

Exactly. Err....well, its an italicized .


[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/0/e/c/0ec6fcb6da4903ce355359d219ef3f5c.png[/img]

Therefore, i equals the square root of -1.
