I'd guess that "server" RAM is supposed to be more reliable for long-term use in servers. Anything with the right speed and pin configuration should work, as long as the motherboard supports it.

I actually had to read Animal Farm for school back in 9th grade and enjoyed it (unlike many other things I had to read for school). I'll go digging around on our shelves for some of the other books you mentioned; I'm fairly sure we might have some of them.

Do you seriously think your life goals and ambitions will not change in the next forty years? You're not Gandalf. You don't have a set mission to accomplish before you leave.

Has nobody noticed that the OP was spam?

I intend to live until I stop breathing.

"I'd hate to die twice. It's so boring." -- Richard Feynman's last words.

Definitely, but not on a low level (how memory management, multitasking and all that works) -- just what all the major components are and how they interact. It'd still be a good learning experience.

That's not programming your own so much as compiling a pre-made one for yourself. Programming an operating system on your own would be a major challenge. There are, however, some kernels designed specifically for people to mess with to learn about operating system design.

It's not just about the melody -- it's about the arrangement of instruments, the lyrics, the beat, the improvisation, and the performance itself. There's a ludicrously huge number of possible combinations of each. Of course, lyrics seem to be the endangered ones. There aren't many identical sets of lyrics around, but a lot of songs do seem to talk about exactly the same basic topics. But the Beatles solved that problem long ago: use gibberish!

Neat. I've found that there are some older books that are very good at showing you exactly why things work in math, although they may focus a bit too much on memorization as well. As insane_alien suggested, once you learn the method you just need to start practicing. I hope those books work out for you.

Fortunately you'll find that math with pounds and dollars is identical; now that the pound is decimal, instead of having all those goofy shillings, you don't need any separate math. So just pretend the problems use £ instead of $. I'll look around for other good websites and books and see what I can find.

Well, adding single digit numbers is usually just a matter of practice and intuition. Practice it a lot and you should start remembering things and developing a "feel" for how they should add up. You can, of course, get out some pennies and try "adding" groups together so you can see how they add up, but it's really just practice. For two-digit numbers and larger, there's a simple method which is what I learned in elementary school. Yes, it's cumbersome and it takes practice, but it's just a stepping-stone -- eventually you should be able to do without for small enough numbers. I'll try to do some more research and find guides on the rest of basic arithmetic if I can. But for now, my only advice is this: practice. In elementary school they had us do timed addition and subtraction tests, worksheets, workbooks, and pretty much any form of practice possible -- find a way to turn it into a game or a routine and you'll be able to get practice in anywhere.

I can predict Heisenberg's response to this.

Okay, first: I admire your determination. I know a lot of people who would rather say "Yeah, I suck at math" and use it as an excuse. Being a (recently graduated) high school student, I can say I probably saw that attitude every day in some form or another, and it's refreshing to see someone determined to learn what's needed. First, we need to know the extent of your current skills. You say most courses overestimated your abilities, so before we try to help, what are your abilities? What simple mathematics can you do, and what problems leave you stumped? Perhaps with that information we'll have a good idea of where to start.

eBay. Seriously, if you just had an auction for "Garbage bag filled with clothes" with a picture of what's inside, some schmuck would probably buy it.

Although much work has been done to make adult stem cells more versatile.

Unfortunately I have a finite amount of time and an infinite number of things I ought to do, so I just haven't been able to get more math tutorials done.

Done. You'll have to log in as "Shou" from now on.

What would you like your new name to be? I can change the name of your account.

Not dimensions in the geometric sense, at least. For an introduction to what differentiation means I suggest you read my tutorial (link).

The fundamental theorem of calculus: [math]f(x) = \int f'(x) dx[/math] [math]\int_a^b f'(x) dx = f(b) - f(a)[/math] That's not about the energy of systems, but integration and differentiation.

[ce]2KClO3 -> 2KCl + 3O2[/ce] The potassium chlorate releases pure oxygen, as above, which then oxidizes the sugar (i.e. lets it burn fantastically well, since there's loads of oxygen). That's the summary. One of the chemistry people might correct me; it's been a year since I've done serious chemistry.

Potassium chlorate. txkRCIPSsjM I've done it in class. We blew open a test tube once when a kid mashed four marshmallows together and dropped them in the test tube with the potassium chlorate.

The controversial topic is always embryonic stem cell research, which involves extracting stem cells from embryos, meaning the embryos do not develop into kids ("murder!"). But there are numerous ways of getting stem cells without embryos, so your real research should be "what can stem cells be used for?" Here's a good starter list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_treatments
