I dont believe you.

[Vortex]

Wait was this from Dilbert??

Knowledge  = Power, Time = Money

Since Power = Work/Time

Subsitute Knowledge and Money and you get

Knowledge = Work/Money

Rearrange for Money

Money = Work/Knowledge

Therefore, money reaches infinite amounts as knowledge goes to zero regardless of the work done. Perfectly emulates how corrupt society is today! :D:D

btw, I'm a math fanatic too, but I'm too tired to go look at that site. But since it's supposed to be good I'll make sure to show it to my Calc teacher.

*edit* And yes I do have a life outside fs2 and math. Outside just doesn't mean outside the comp room... mmmm g/f bedroom...

What is this "outside" you speak of?

I always stay in one of those two rooms unless I absolutely have to get out of the house for whatever reason, although even then I avoid staying outdoors for more than a minute or two. I've been trying to convince my parents to get rid of the windows in my room (I hate natural sunlight with a passion ) since I can't find anything that will block out the light completely.

The "outside" is also known as a torture chamber for Nerds.
And I don't believe what you say either.

[CP5670]

just ask anyone who knows me...

Yep, works perfectly. The scientific proof that being a nerd won't guarantee anything (except for guaranteeing that you won't get laid).

Now, for the outside, it's that place where you can see the Daystar, also known as Sun, and where the roof is far, far away...

that's where you can get a life, too... a real life.

I do believe what CP5670 has to say... but it isn't easy to believe. He really seems to be the True Nerd™. :D

I left that out 'cause it would take around three years to explain them the concept of Real Life™.

You guys act as if having this so-called "Real-Life" thingy is all that great.  But in my experience, it's hideously overrated.

Look at me - I spent a huge chunk of my life in my bedroom (parents didn't much like the idea of me boarding up the window either - but at least I got some heavy-duty blinds that made it mostly dark...kinda scares me when I return on holidays and stuff and see them open), but I turned out okay.

Why, just yesterday, I never emerged from my apartment (single occupant, studio apartment) - life was good.  I had my e-mail, my forums, my pair of computers, my DSL, my downloaded TV shows, my pair of DVD drives (along with a pair of CD burners)...what more could possibly be out there?  Girls?  Puh-LEASE - waste of time, money, and effort...besides, they're mathematically proven to be evil.

Girls=Time * Money
Time=Money
Therefore, Girls=Money²
Money=Evil^(1/2)
Money²=Evil
Therefore, Girls=Evil


Am I right?  Tell me CP5670 - any errors in the math there?  (-;

[CP5670]

Looks correct to me.

Girls? Puh-LEASE - waste of time, money, and effort...besides, they're mathematically proven to be evil.

Completely agree with both of those statements.

[Blue Lion]

CP, I am coming to get you and tying you to a chair in a outdoor resturant with a *GASP* girl, just to watch you squirm

---> your lack of experience, obviously


(parents didn't much like the idea of me boarding up the window either - but at least I got some heavy-duty blinds that made it mostly dark...kinda scares me when I return on holidays and stuff and see them open), but I turned out okay.

---> you're afraid of sunlight. Yeah, you sure turned ok, Mr Vampire :l7

Why, just yesterday, I never emerged from my apartment (single occupant, studio apartment) - life was good.  I had my e-mail, my forums, my pair of computers, my DSL, my downloaded TV shows, my pair of DVD drives (along with a pair of CD burners)...

---> oh, happyness! you should try and live in a cave, you'd feel even better

what more could possibly be out there?  Girls?  Puh-LEASE - waste of time, money, and effort...

---> would be a waste if there was no rewards, but of course, with your "experience" of real life, you may have missed that tiny detail

besides, they're mathematically proven to be evil.

Girls=Time * Money
Time=Money
Therefore, Girls=Money²
Money=Evil^(1/2)
Money²=Evil
Therefore, Girls=Evil

---> didn't yout math teacher tell you you don't add potatoes to tomatoes? you call yourself a nerd? bwah.

Money is not evil: people who uses  money from wrong purpose are evil

girls:
-helps you for various tasks---> after the first months, they save you time. good deal.
-gets a job, earn money---> cuts your monthly expense per two ( save if you earn 2000$ aweek obviously - but it could also be the inverse way ). saves money= good deal
And that just to answer about your trivial point of view, coz those points are not exactly the main ones for me.

In case you wonder ( coz one never knows ), don't go and flame me, it's a joke, but you were sooo asking for it

[CP5670]

bah, girls are for the stupid, illogical masses, not the intellectual elite.

CP, I am coming to get you and tying you to a chair in a outdoor resturant with a *GASP* girl, just to watch you squirm

aaaaaaaahhhh!!!

*hides head under a textbook*


On a side note, does anyone know how to get implicit curvature in n dimensions? (rectangular coordinates) For a 2D equation given by f(x,y)=0 it is ( ¶²f/¶x²×¶f/¶y - 2¶²f/¶x¶y׶f/¶x׶f/¶y + ¶²f/¶y²×¶f/¶x ) / ³Ö( [ (¶f/¶x)² + (¶f/¶y)² ]² ) , but I don't know what the extension of this is to more variables. It might be possible to derive one from this and the explicit 3D forumla, but things would get quite messy there (as can be seen from that formula) and it might be possible to avoid that.

You should get a skateboard and learn to skate, its one step to becomming sane(or insane).

But love in our life, is just too valuable...

Have you even tried it? If not, don't knock it.

[Blue Lion]

yea I thought the same way..

 "Girls pfft, waste of time and money"


 Now I see things a wee bit differently

[Corsair]

Girls are a waste of time and money? ahhhh...my friend, but think of the rewards. What venom told you is true, but there are others too.

Or have you not had sex ed yet CP? Only take math classes now?

[CP5670]

I had to take that class due to high school requirements (when I was still in school) and it turned out to be a total waste of time. All I do these days is math and physics; need to get a solid grasp on certain sub-areas of those two subjects before I start a more thorough analysis of philosphical issues.

But love in our life, is just too valuable...

People say this because they view everything from a limited human perspective (which is also constantly evolving, btw) than making any attempt to see things from a more universal perspective, from which it can be seen that it is slowly becoming a dead force. At the moment, it is essential for the proper operation of societies, but technology will eventually reach the point where that is no longer the case. I would say that love is very similar to religion in that respect: a very powerful force in human affairs that was required for the forming of civilizations, but one that will at some point outlive its usefulness, and can be safely discarded.

Anyway, someone answer my question!! What is the formula for curvature for a 3D implicit equation?

[icespeed]

ace: cool girls, but i think i said somewhere before: real girls dont have proportions like that unless they've had surgery- they're either round and curvaceous, or skinny and flat. not curvaceous and skinny.
i like the jean skirt.

this thread has become such a sexist thread. i'd like to say that girls can like maths and physics too; girls are _not_ evil thank you very much, girls aren't just there to support guys so they don't have to work; and a certain amount of outdoor exercise and sunlight is needed for you to stay healthy.

love is a _good_ thing. can't convince you, CP, if you've never experienced it. i feel kinda sorry for the day you fall in love- you'll be so majorly confused. (im being optimistic in this aspect, and quite confident too...)

maths and science can be beautiful, but one of these days, go out, have a look at the sky. the sky's always beautiful.

hey! don't take me wrong, read my post again I didn't say girls were here to work for us, I was replying about the fact they were a waste of money. Thinking about it, the topic is quite ... fantasy, dunno how to say that in english. I just noticed how girls here are discussed like if they were another species

About love, dunno if CP can fall in love one day, if he never goes out. Anyway, honestly, if the guy think he can live forever in his room, the awakening will  be terrible when he'll be 20 and his parents will kick him out of the house "now get a job". How will he do when mom and dad won't bring gim what he needs? , I just imagined the nerd in a supermarket, completly lost
