It was for "the past 24 hrs" at the time I made the post. Final figure for yesterday was: June 28, 2004 - 484. Highest ever ever ever.

Stop posting crap* * Boom Boom!

New Posts Today: 425 Most posts per day EVER*. * May 28th 2004 also had 425

Oh Jeez: Moderated because it preemptively stole the joke I just posted. You had plenty of time to post it first time around JaKiri

Somewhere in this discussion is a link to a very detailed discussion of space elevators.

I get what you mean now. This bit was confusing: I didn't see how you got from one thing to the other, so tried to reverse engineer a solution. lollz.

And the answer is... no. LaTex is not compatible with spoilers.

[hide][math]\frac {x + 1}{2 - y}[/math][/hide] The blacked-out text is a paragraph set to display as inline text. The LaTex module replaces text with tansparent images, so it broke the confines of the paragraph. I might be able to sort it by changing the paragraph display mode to 'block'.

The only ATP I know is Adenosine Triphosphate (the energy transfer structure in respiration).

That would be good. This is what comes of stopping maths after GCSE

That's the plan. Note the tool-tip.

I added some new BB tags: Press "Quote" for this post to see how they work. Strike-out Inserted Text (hover) and Deleted Text (hover) for inserting/deleting during edits. This is an advantage in long threads that you might come back to and alter, because it gives people an idea when different changes occured (the "last edited on" text is not so great for that.) Denominator over-lines text; handy for quick equations at the start of the line, or for marking up modulus. [hide]This tag is for putting spoilers in threads about new films, books etc; or for posting the answer to a puzzle etc.[/hide]

Ignore everything after "for x=5"... p.s. MrL - spoiler tags made as requested: [hide]hahaha[/hide]

Gah. Everything after "for x=5" is rubbish.

Right. I'll be using d (difference) instead of h so it doesn't look like I just copied Dave. Part One: Point A on y=x3 is (1, 1) Point B on y=x3 is (1+d, (1+d)3) Gradient between A and B is [math]\frac{(1+d)^3 - 1}{(1+d) - 1}[/math] [math]\frac{(1+d)^3 - 1}{(1+d) - 1}[/math] = [math]\frac{(1+d)^3 - 1}{d}[/math] Apply binomial series thingy: (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3b2a + b3 [math]\frac{(1+d)^3 - 1}{d}[/math] = [math]\frac{1 + 3d + 3(d^2) + d^3 - 1}{d}[/math] = [math]\frac{3d + 3(d^2) + d^3}{d}[/math] = [math]3 + 3d + d^2[/math] As d gets teeny weeny gradient AB tends to [math]3 + 0 + 0 = 3[/math] For [math]x = 5[/math], [math]d = (5 - 1) = 4[/math] Gradient AB = [math]\frac{1 + 12 + 3(16) + 64 - 1}{4}[/math] = [math]\frac{124}{4}[/math] = [math]31[/math] That doesn't look right

Maybe.

NTL do the same thing - their caches used to be appalling.

The former is in the brand spanking new "other sciences" category, and the latter is now in "other topics". We re-organised the forums after a long discussion about the structure etc.

lol Yeah, she normally sits next to Oliver Clozzoff.

It depends on what language you use to make it, and the choice of language can be heavily dependent on the kind of program you want to make.

I can't see the television because it is turned off and in a different room. Shall I guess?
