BigMoosie

To answer your question, 52! = 1x2x3x .... x50x51x52 = 80658175170943878571660636856403766975289505440883277824000000000000

Yeah I have heard of methods like that. That site seems a little shonky, have you had a look at their list? http://pi-world-ranking-list.com/lists/memo/index.html One person on there has memorised 20 digits, like thats some kind of acheivement? Anything less than several thousand is not worthy of mention in my opinion. Though I do not argue that that man didn't get 42,000 digits, I have heard of similar feats.

I'm not into flash really, never have been. It is possible to apply audio using only JavaScript and HTML though. For the love of math! Well, actually I agree, it probably would have been better to memorise the periodic table if anything but hey, now I can say I know pi better than you!

I wrote a script that is designed to aid the process of trying to memorise 100 digits of pi. I played with it for an hour last night and this morning I still remember them, I will play it every now and again until the numbers are off by heart. Here is the page you can test it out on: http://www.random.abrahamjoffe.com.au/public/JavaScripts/pi.htm Let me know what you think and if you can imagine perhaps a more effective method I might try. 3. 14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 58209 74944 59230 78164 06286 20899 86280 34825 34211 70679

Aeternus, gee I wish I could have a pocket version of you to sit on my desk. It is very kind of you to take the time to help me with this and not just shake me off with a couple of links. What added to all this confusion I was having was that some of my books were teaching the old way of doing events (apparently it was changed a few years ago) and others were teaching the new and I was picking up elements of both which caused all sorts of hassles. I cannot thank you enough, your help is very well appreciated. I don't know how I can repay you... if you ever need any help with JavaScript you can come to me, English is basically my second language after that.

No it has nothing to do with filenames, could you please write a simple applet that when compiled demonstrates event handling? I swear I am about to tear my eyeballs out of their sockets, its not often that I find something so simple with coding that I cannot handle but it seems no matter what tutorials I read they explain a different way of doing it and none of them complile. Argh someone kill me, I am so damn frustrated!!!

Hi, sorry to bother you again but I am having another problem, it seems the book I am learning from is outdated by the compiler. When adding this to my code I get an error: public boolean action(Event evt, Object arg) { repaint(); return true; } Here is the error: Note: Applet1.java uses or overides a depreciated API Note: Recompile with -Xlint:depreciation for details Thanks again for helping me before, I swear I will try to make this the last time.

Yeah that was exactly my problem, however I came up with a solution: (function(){ var j=String.prototype.split; String.prototype.split=function(q){ var temp=String.prototype.split; String.prototype.split=j; var result=this.split(q||''); String.prototype.split=temp; return result; } })(); Then I was alerted to the call and apply methods which is even better: (function(){ var j=String.prototype.split String.prototype.split=function(q){ return j.call(this,[q||""]) } })();

I have a problem that I cannot solve, consider this: (function(){ var a = window.alert; window.alert=function(q){ a("BigMoosie\n\n"+q); } })(); This code will add the word 'BigMoosie' to every single alert called. This is quite neat as the workaround has been enclosed within an empty function making the variable 'a' inaccessible to global functions. I wish to do a similar thing to a prototype function for example this will make the split function's first argument defualt to an empty string if it is not set: String.prototype.split2 = String.prototype.split; String.prototype.split = function(s, a){ if (!s) s="" return this.split2(s, a); } However this is not as neat because the split2 function is global and can be accessed by other codes still, how would I make it private like in the previous example?

A friend of mine lately told me that his mother had gotten an abortion when she was pregnant with him. Apparently what they thought was a successful abortion only removed his twin and that he was left unnoticed until too late. Is this possible or is he just looking for attention?

You should be good at algebra but anything more advanced is not really required unless your programs demand so. What is it you plan on creating?

A while back I continued with my own list using only basic algebraic expressions (+ - / * ^ ! etc), and I managed to get all but three numbers less than 100. Anyone wanna help get 89, 91, 93 using these rules?

I was thinking the other day of an idea for a website. It would be a virtual chemistry lab in which you could search for various experiments commonly performed. Each experiment would have its own section of the site in which there would be descriptions and videos and discussion boards etc. It would be a community based thing in which people could add more and more data such as images, videos and their results, as well as expanding onto more and more different more obscure experiments. I was wondering if there exists a website like this?

Make sure if any long words are posted in the chatbox that your code injects regular spaces to stop it from stretching and breaking the layout of your page. If the viewer's name is used in any of the posts you can change the background colour of the message to highlight it. If you know javaScript you could add a little XMLHttpRequest to make it update and submit messages without refreshing the page, but then its kinda turning more into a chatroom. What's the address?

Sorry to bother you again, after this I should be done and on my way, I have compiled a file into a .class but when I try to run it I get: c:\java>java hello Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassGefFoundError: hello Here is my code: class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello"); } } What have I done wrong? EDIT: never mind, I read to type: set CLASSPATH=, I feel like an idiot, ill shut up now. Thanks for listening~

Not entirely! There are some completely pure shades of colour that have to be teadiously prepared in a laboratory under very strict conditions such as an inert atmosphere or cold temperatures. I remember one particular article in newScientist about a year ago where the blackest black material had been made, about twenty times blacker than any other black previously constructed! Considering this I would say that your grubby fingers were likely to have made this impossible to achieve

Aueternus! Thankyou for that! I didn't realise it was quite so complex, I am working through compiling them myself and I'll check out those links in a couple of days. Once again thankyou very much.

I am trying to learn Java but I have one problem that I cannot resolve, I don't know how to compile it. I tried downloading Sun's Java Developer Kit but it didn't put anything in my start menu after installation. I have a program called JBuilderX enterprise but it needs registration. How can I just get with the bloody coding! Sorry, not trying to be rude I'm just very frustrated because I cannot continue learning Java if I cannot actually compile it. Thankyou.

Where is my algebra wrong? The expansion looks correct, then I subtract 3 from any indicies which are greater than 2 because the roots repeat, then I subtract 9 of each root since the roots sum to zero. That is the technique I have been taught to use with roots of unity. cosine, yeah that was the solution she gave me. I would appreciate to know exactly where the error is because even my Maths teacher couldn't work out why my answer was wrong.

I had these questions in my 4 unit maths test yesterday, the red question is the one that I got wrong however I cannot see a problem with my working: a) Find the non real roots of x³ + 1 = 0 [math]x = \frac{1}{2} \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i[/math] b) If h is one of those roots prove that h² = h - 1 [math]LHS = h^2 = \frac{1}{4} \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{-1}{2} \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i = h - 1 = RHS[/math] c) Hence, find the value of (1-h)^6 [math](1-h)^6 = 1 - 6h + 15h^2 - 20h^3 + 15h^4 - 6h^5 + h^6[/math] Considering the roots of unity: [math]= 1 - 6h + 15h^2 - 20 + 15h - 6h^2 + 1[/math] [math]= -18 + 9h + 9h^2[/math] [math]= -27[/math] She got an answer of 1. Why is mine wrong?

Odds of getting first wrong and second right: (3/4)*(1/4) = 18.75% Odds of getting first right and second wrong: (1/4)*(3/4) = 18.75% Odds of getting both right: (1/4)*(1/4) = 6.25% Odds of getting both wrong: (3/4)*(3/4) = 56.25% The sum of each scenario multiplied by their respective score: (3/4)*(1/4)*1 + (1/4)*(3/4)*1 + (1/4)*(1/4)*2 + (3/4)*(3/4)*0 = 0.5 That's 0.5 out of 2 which is 25%, the average score never changes.

I would expect that people think I am a shy person although I do not consider myself one, I think my problem is that I am far too patient and rational.

Would one experience the same result of zero net gravity when placed within a hollow torus?
