Re: W-H-I-Y-L It aint NEVER Over FOOL!!!!
"Discreet" Math?!?! "Boolean" algebra!?!? Hell I barely made it through regular math as it was. Oh, wait, I failed that in HS. Damn, you guys are smart.

I'm with you, bro!  :p
A small voice in my head tells me they are have followed us here in the Milky Way. They follow us until we are dead at their feet. We are nomands of the stars, no longer the race that was loved by the Great Elders. My name is Kyral and this is my story of survival.

There is no sanctuary for us, in this Universe. We will fight the Terror for one last time on this Shining World. May the Transcendent judge us kindly in the Life Stream.

I failing grade on more than half of the math tests I took in high school, but I still didn't get a failing grade in math, go figure. But then again a large portion of students at my high school go through the exact same thing and with classes, too. Yay for education... :blah:

Don't let it get in the way of your exams. Put it out of your head until you're done (I know that's easier said than done, but you don't want to screw up Year 12). Everything will still be there, ready to be dealt with after your exams are over. You don't want to have to repeat the year because of this (or even end up with a final score that doesn't reflect your ability).
T'is indeed but I managed to do it/work some of that **** out for this morning's English exam. English is my best subject and my teacher said that I stood a good chance of getting 100% for at least one of the four essays, but that **** beforehand really ****ed my study over and I don't think I did so well this morning. Oh well, time'll tell, but I'm concerned as to how/if I'm going to get into UWA at this rate.

I just saw a pre-roll commercial on a Blip.tv video, where GM introduced a new Cheverolet model by shoving it out the back of a plane.  My own opinion of GM's vehicles notwithstanding, I'm not sure that, "Hey, even we want to throw this car out the back of a plane," is the best message to send to the people you're trying to convince to buy your product.  Just a thought.

Yeah... that commercial is pretty ridiculous. Why did they throw a car out of a plane anyway? Special delivery or are they trying prove some vague point...

My guess is that GM is trying to appeal to the same mindset that made SUV's get more numerous, more bloated, and less capable from the late 1990's through last decade.  Only, since the US version of the Sonic is just an Aveo with a fresh coat of paint, the most extreme capability it has that can be marketed is that it's affected by gravity.  The more you think about it, the more pathetic a scene the ad becomes.

Last exam of the gauntlet in about an hour. And actually, I don't feel to badly about it any more. Partially due to tiredness, yes; but also because it turns out that 2/3 of the midterm is stuff I'm also covering in Stats atm, and that I have a decent grasp on. In the end, as long as I pass, I don't care. My other CS marks, for the most part, are fairly good.

Hating almost everything in existence a lot more than usual today.
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

Went downtown to attend a lecture by this guy about his 'discovery of dark energy' and the accelerating expansion of the universe.  Very interesting stuff, and a damn good speaker. :)

Astronomy can be very intense and mind melting as well. Like the fact that Saturn's huge moon Titan has a thick atmosphere that is waiting to be made into small earth!

How awesome is that?  :D

You're about to be Astronomiya'd like a mofo.

 
Re: W-H-I-Y-L It aint NEVER Over FOOL!!!!
I've been staring at code on computer screens too long, and can no longer do simle maths in my head...

Also my head hurts.  :sigh:

I'm done. More coding tomorrow.

Ugh, please don't make me do the math on this -- I've just recently been doing planetary science problems like this and -- goddammit I'm going to do the math. D:

Solar flux at 1AU is SE = 1.37x106 erg*s-1*cm-2.
Saturn, and Titan with it, have an average heliocentric orbital distance of roughly 9.5AU.  So by inverse square law, the solar flux for Titan is SE/9.52 = 1.85x104.  Call that value ST, for solar flux at Titan.

Equilibrium temperature for a spherical blackbody (ε=1) with bond albedo AB (Earth's Bond Albedo is ~0.31, let's say if we made Titan earthlike it would be the same), is given by

Te = [(1-AB)ST  / 4εσ ]1/4

Plug in the values, we get an equilibrium temperature of 87 Kelvin. (That's -303°F)!

(Compare that with the actual surface temperature, according to wikipedia, of 93.7K -- not a bad calculation!)

So yeah, good luck making Titan earthlike. :P

Stress induced insomnia, backed by mountain dew energy drinks, is one hell of a ***** when you start to crash from the fatigue. It's 5:35am and I give myself about five mins until I pass out for the next 10 hours.
