LYC: here's my argument on the issue. 1 - .9 = 0.1 (a small number), 1 - .999 = 0.001 (a smaller number). 1 - .999999 = 0.000001 (a very small ... - zork Dec 12, 10:26 1

- I still remember the monkey/gun problem from high school physics. -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:13 4
  - This one? -- (link) - nubby Dec 12, 10:23 [youtube] 2
    - hey, I didn't see any monkeys being shot. you should have had vibrating sand like the next video - dogbert Dec 12, 10:29
    - That's the one! *thumbs up* -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:28
  - "You're shopping at an ikea. You notice an armed monkey. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 10:15
- you give her nubby's phone number? -- nm - znufrii Dec 12, 10:11 3
  - .......I think I might do this next time she asks. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 12, 10:12 2
    - and right about now groiny is wishing he had paid more attention in physics class -- nm - Kilbo Baggins Dec 12, 10:13 1 1
      - dude - groiny Dec 12, 10:15
- "Things have changed since then." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 10:10 2
  - Plus I'm old. I can't remember what I had for lunch last week, let alone some concept I went over in 1987. - JaxSean Dec 12, 10:11 1
    - to be honest, I have no idea how I passed Physics in HS, let along pull out the B that I got. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 10:23
in between hits of acid, sure. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 12, 10:06
once or twice. the exact number of years doesn't matter because I'm learning now that all numbers are equal -- nm - dogbert Dec 12, 10:04
I love math and I'm not getting involved in that argument. - Krusty Dec 12, 10:04 1

  - Ms. King hit on me in front of my gf when I was 20. -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:11 2
    - you must have looked very pretty in your short skirt -- nm - dogbert Dec 12, 10:21 1
      - If hairy legs are your thing, sure. -- nm - David Dec 12, 10:23
I did. But I didn't take theory classes, and I'm mostly just fooling around on B2 based on floating point math in programming. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 09:59 5
- (Floating point math is an extra shortcut computers take ... it's how you can get things like 0.2 + 0.2 + 1 = 1.3999) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 10:01 4
  - maybe this is why in ika my crystal mine shows 599 workers, but I still produce 600 product - dogbert Dec 12, 10:07 2
    - There's a lot of fudgery at work in floating point math, it's very bad to use it for things like financial transactions -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 10:08 1
      - sidenote: Guess what one of my projects at work is doing? - Beryllium Dec 12, 10:08

I got a 4 on my AP Calculus exam. - znufrii Dec 12, 09:59 1
- I got a 4 on alot of math exams too... -- nm - Melkor Profit Dec 12, 10:04
I took a lot of subjects in school but that really doesn't mean anything, does it? -- nm - Kilbo Baggins Dec 12, 09:59
I wouldn't say Took so much as Had Forced Upon. -- nm - Melkor Profit Dec 12, 09:58
