  1. i have had a weird dream once. i was lying on a bed. then the phone started ringing. i waited for a while. the phone kept ringing then i got up and went to pick up the phone. i picked up the phone and said hello, and the phone still kept on ringing. then i found myself on my bed, half awake , half asleep , with the phone still ringing !! :). then i got up and answered it . and finally it stopped ringing

     

     

    hahaa

     

    i can relate to that

  2. These programs are meant for protection and if there was a way past it (other then the user disabling it) then it would be quite useless. These programs are easily disabled for a short period of time. I had to disable mine once so that this site could put some cookies on my computer so that it could "remember" me so I wouldn't have to sign in everytime I come.

     

    sounds like a software firewall

     

    do you know what this/these program(s) are specifically?

     

    ie. I use Norton Firewall, and they have a feature to allow certain sites to accept cookies from, and some not; allow some applications to access internet, and some block, etc.

  3. I didn't; I made it myself from the ground up. If you want to get started with programming in general, you need to either find a book, or an online tutorial.

     

    whoops; i mean what programming language/compiler, unless you used straight-up machine language?

     

    I've done spots of html, VB, Basic, and C, but no in-depth programming.

    I think i should though. Programming is so important in Engineering & the Sciences.

  4. When the 5 dollar discount was given, it meant that the bill came to $25, making each person pay (25/3) = $8.33. The manager took 2 bucks and gave back 3, meaning the bill came to $28 (25 + 3), making each person pay (28/3) = $9.33. Therefore, (9.33*3) + 2 = 30.

  5. dave, I was looking through the site you put up, how would you explain this:

     

    There are actually no negative numbers

    Did you know there are actually no negative numbers? Think about it, have you ever actually seen a negative number of geese? Ever wonder why?

     

    It's not what you think! The reason there are no negative numbers is simply that -1 is just another way of writing 1. Watch, I can prove it. I'll even explain it as I go along.

     

    Certainly, you'll have to allow me to start with

    -1 = -1

    Then, if I divide both sides by 1, I get

    -1/1 = -1/1

    Now, we know that -x/y = -(x/y) = (-x)/(y) = (x)/(-y). It doesn't matter where you put the minus sign. So, from that we get

    -1/1 = 1/-1

    And, if we take the square root of both sides, we get

    root(-1/1) = root(1/-1)

    But we can split the square roots out, so

    root(-1) / root(1) = root(1) / root(-1)

    Now, we can cross multiply (to get rid of the fractions), and get

    root(-1) * root(-1) = root(1) * root(1)

    But surely root(x) * root(x) = x. That's the definition of root(x), so

    -1 = root(-1) * root(-1) = root(1) * root(1) = 1

    Which leaves us with

    -1 = 1

    Which is what I told you originally. So you can see that there really are no negative numbers.

     

    If you don't agree, try examining the proof closely. You can see I supported each step along the way.

     

    for me, it's the part with -x/y = -(x/y) = (-x)/(y) = (x)/(-y)

  6. I plan to study business management or accounting. I don't know for sure' date=' but those sound pretty good.[/quote']

     

    :eek:

     

    booo!!!!!!!!

     

    haha

    *j/k

     

    I'm planning to get a MBA as well if I stick with Engineering, although I'm thinking of switching into BioPhys/Phys right now.

  7. I could afford a new mustang if i put down like 9 thousand. But then I would be depressed because my bank account would practically be wiped out.

     

    hehe

     

    If you want the recent models, it'll cost ~$35 000 CAN +

    :P

     

    But for the older models, I've seen some $10 000 CAN or less

  8. THe LD50 is 60mg; but theres no more than 3-4mg that reaches the smoker per cigarette, and its metabolized quickly. Take 20 of the nicotine gums and chew them all at once tho... you'll probably die.

     

    LD50?

    Is LD = Lethal Dosage?

    What is 50 for?

     

    & what about those who chew tobacco?

    Isn't that bad then?

  9. Good for what... it's slow, ugly, asian... :P

     

    reliable, fuel efficient, good bang-for-buck

     

    well I cant really afford anything like that so i have to go with the civic I guess... unless I can find something else.

     

    Also in that price range are the Mitsubishi Lancer, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, Mazda 3, Chevrolet Cavalier, Ford Focus, and that's about all I can think for now

     

    would a cute chick or a vanity license plate make me cooler?

     

    lol

     

    I dontk now, but maybe you can get Faf's empty nitrous tank and pretend its yours.

    :P

  10. coma, blackouts, death from overdose in the short term... physical dependence with possible death from withdrawal, liver failure, etc.

     

    What concentration in alcoholic beverages are needed for those effects?

    Or is any little amount sufficient for those things you mentioned..
