I had a thread a while ago and I was wondering if there are latex symbols for the long division and perhaps extension code for working out the problem.. I would dislike using the square root symbol for this, but it seems like the next closest thing. I don't like using the $12/24$ type of stuff that gives a number over a line and a bottom number under that line. Arg, too many different BBSs have different latex systems.

I don't have a floppy on my laptop but want one. Other than that, the other computers in this house have a floppy drive. I think the floppy will be around for sometime until more people figure out FTP. The floppy is inexpensive, easy to put files on, and take on the go. Almost anyone knows what it is, so if you lose one, they know what a floppy is. I would use FTP, but turning in assignments with that doesn't work so well. I like CD-RWs more than CD-Rs.

I've already thought about these things before. See: Thread See: A wiki discussion before you started this thread.. I thought about these things long ago as a pathway into immortality as immoral and unethical as it may be. My thought process went like this. 1. The human body and mind can last only so long. 2. Finding immortality within such a regular life period is practically impossible. 3. Then that life period must find a way to increase. 3a. Or you could possibly find a way to be more efficient and faster. which then leads to.. How? 4. Develop a neurotechnolical addition to the brain to enhance thinking capabilities. 5. Develop and research things faster than the average human intellect can. This thus enables you to research things multiple times faster than the average person can. 6. Research faster, figure out how to manipulate the human body while enhancing either/or/and cybernetic materials or biological alterations. thus i researched the mind and the idea of the hippocampus came up. I actually had this idea a few years back but never got into it until recently. I came to this forum seeking ideas and people who think alike. The only real thing that becomes a problem with an artificial implant that would replace parts of the organic brain is the philosophical and spirtual argument of the soul and self-conscience/awareness.

A lot of humans would like to be test subjects, but they are strict laws for that. Don't blame science, blame the government.

I guess since it can be a virtual 2GB drive, that'd be the best function for me. Of course i just D/L'd the virtual drive creator and it's denying me the right to put files in 2nd level subfolders. I guess I also liked the fact that I could get what screen name I wanted. Its sorting of mail somewhat annoys and bothers me. I liked hotmail for that, but hotmail deleted all my old emails and shut down a few of my accounts because of "inactivity." I don't know if gmail will ever do this though. I figure since they have a half decent spam set up, they won't get clutter in their servers so they won't lock out accounts.

Google only hires people with PhDs or hackers who can crack in. -inside joke.- /end Other than that, I'd actually love to see all my free mail space put to use by allowing me to host a webserver from my gmail. Don't know if it's been done yet, I'd love to see some hacker do it though. *googles* hmm.. a virtural drive... but can I get it to host my files to others without using a password.... ---------------------------------------------------- I thought about this once and thought of Google as a monopoly industry, but then again perhaps it wasn't. I figure with whatever money they get, they just buy more and more stuff. They don't embezzle cash and play with it, they truly put it to use.

Just remember to grab water, food, and things for self-defense so the GM doesn't find a cunning way to kill you off.

Supposedly once you get the PhD the job market can turn and bite you. However, if you DO go to Harvard, things will look up for you. Getting a grade of D isn't a very popular thing in Harvard though. Isn't Harvard liberal arts? I would go to MIT or something like that.

Now that I think of it, there is a missing part to all of this. If you take electrons and guide them away, then what would take their place of the next place of destination they were suppose to be? seems like this part reminds me of dark energy...

It's a prison for the mind. But I believe we all live in the matrix!!!!111 Seriously, all the colors around you are pixelated. The little cells in your eyes make you think you see in analog, but it's all digital. Don't let this reality fool you, man, there is something bigger out in the real one. I mean, even if this world was a fantasy, wouldn't it be f'd up? There'd have to be some science to create this fantasy world, right?

The 4 part is what is getting me. From what I figured: [math] (x - 2y)(x^2 + 2xy + 2y^2) [/math] what I don't get here is how there is suppose to be a [math]4[/math] in place of the [math]2[/math] in [math]2y^2.[/math] If i factor out 8 [math]2 * 2 * 2 = 8[/math] I don't understand the math reasoning to put a [math]4[/math] there.

I figured since I don't want to clutter up this board with a bunch of newly created threads, that I'd post whatever math problems I'm having in here. I suck at math, sadly. The most recent problem I've come across is this: factor each expression completely x^3 - 8y^3 So I tried doing this since: (x-y)(x^2 + xy + y^2) factored: x^3 + 2x^2y + 4xy^2 - 2x^2y - 4xy^2 - 8y^3 Which turns out to be: (x -2y)(x + 2xy + 4y) what I don't understand from this problem is how 4 gets there.

Yes, it's so cold.

They can only be as smart as the smartest person. Even then, it's somewhat dangerous. Of course if you can teach them to dig further into knowledge then perhaps they could get more intelligent, but I think it is the human imagination and a lot of factors. Of course anything's possible. The reason they are called A.I. is because their brain or cpu is artificial. if statements (if this happens, i do this or that.) random makes a random choice flag (you do this, i'll do that) I think the most powerful thing would to enable an A.I. to have a random thought process so that it can choose to do what it wants, when it wants to.

I'm amazed by how many replies this thread has gathered.

...to a new area of resistance, i'm guessing you could be able to call upon energy. You would have to call upon it by giving it a chance to move to the next area of resistnace or else trick it into doing so. So much would be called a draw as pogo stated, but if you could keep it in motion and have it power itself with the energy, then yes, you could achieve a perpetual motion device.

I think about things like this often, in my opinion when it comes to things like this, I must say that the universe expands on forever. If there is a limit to energy, we are all screwed. However, if there isn't a limit and the universe doesn't stop somewhere and you hit face first into a brickwall, then you are in luck. I figure that making free energy would be possible but pointless. I suspect that finding a way to move energy from one place to another from a distant area will be discovered once people figure out why electrons like to move around so much. They like to go to the path of least resistance and a lot of other factors so I'm guessing if you can just get everything down to a quantum number level and transfer that electron to a new area of resistance.. ahh my laptop battery..

In my idea, anything that is antigravity will crush all metal underneath it by using magnetic forces. Objects will oppose each other thus giving a pressure allowing one to lift above the other. A primitive technology used, yes. Efficient however. I rather in my opinion have a low-carb burrito. Man, i could really go for a burrito right now. Ever since I was a child, i thought that this would be the way to do it.

Silly humans. Tricks are for kids.

the xbox will be released before the ps3. how come flagg has 0 posts?

It was all about the 2x^3.. i like totally came to realization about this. i have to remember to imagine a - sign and be all like - (x^5 + 2x^3 ...) kool. I now have come to peace with this problem. i think it really helped my by putting it up on the computer instead of paper so i could mix the numbers around in my head and on screen.

Hmm... I actually don't understand any of that. ;_; i know x^5 / x^3 = x^2 && 2/1 = 2 I don't know where people are obtaining a -2 from though.. Here's the problem worked out.. I know I'm screwing up somewhere though..

no. the answer is: x^2 - 2 + (-x^2 + 7x + 4) / (x^3 + 2x + 1) I didn't type anything wrong. I don't know how to get to the answer, though.
