  1. cosine

    Pi

    I don't remember the formula exactly, but it definitely was the same concepts you used, so we probably came up with the same result. What happened then? Well the Library of Congress sends you a certificate with your name the title you gave the work and some other details including a reference number of the work. So essentially a copy of it is sitting somewhere deep in some archive of the Lirbary of Congress.
  2. It would be a much more politically left country, since states on the water frequently vote liberal. What if it turned out that George W Bush was a woman?
  3. Don't forget the prove Euclid's 5th postulate from the other 4... game.
  4. Then we would be rolling dice everytime we wanted to cast spells, and we would pay homage to the ultimate DM in the sky. What if there was a word that rhymed with orange?
  5. Darn, how do I upload an image? Edit, nevermind, here it is: (Excuse the writing lines in the background, they shift from my digipad to the computer, though my writing skill isn't that great anyway. And on the final line Theta_0 became Theta_2 because its 4 in the morning..., and its the digipad's fault that some L's and one's look like r's)
  6. Gr I still want to know. I might figure it out by hand soon enough. It wouldn't be too hard. Make an infinite sum of the slices of an arc using the formula arc = theta * radius, and then just compare it to how a reimann sum is expressed as an integral, and do the same with the your infinite sum for arclength. Thats similar to how I derived the arclength integral for a function in cartestian co-ordinates a while back, except then I used the pythagorean theorem to measure the small little lengths.
  7. I don't understand what is exactly suprising about ancient homo sapians being able to function in modern society (adjusting environmental factors of course). Society really hasn't changed since ancient times, as much as we'd like to think we aren't barbaric, sometimes we can give ourselves too much credit and our ancestors too little.
  8. Slavery would be even better for some people because at least in slavery you had to support your laborers. In our system you don't even have to make sure you're supporting them, you just have to pay them the least the government will allow. And what do these workers get in compensation for the decrease in ability to live? They get an illusory concept called "freedom," which barely enables them to do anything since they don't have the resources to move anywhere else (either physically to a richer location, or metaphorically up the ladder through an education).
  9. They try to do that through unions. However unionization is hard enough as large corporations consistently try to break up unions by legal and illegal means.
  10. Murder was too far, but I don't see how slavery is a poor analogy.
  11. We forgot to make slavery illegal, and people went and traded slaves shamelessly.
  12. Oh and gala, I think we would all appreciate it if you could post some of the Russian responses you got.
  13. Haha, it really reminds me of this funny site. Are you sure thats not a right triangle? If not, I'm not sure if there is enough information to solve the problem.
  14. Sorry, but I don't know if you all really think that the only people who are paid minimum wage are kids. Unfortunantely they are not.
  15. Does that offer extend to me as well, ecoli?
  16. Family Guy, Futurama, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and NPR's What Do You Know (or Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, I can never tell the difference)
