Maybe I'm weird, but currently I have nothing non-stick, so I back my pancakes instead.

Easy, it is us verses them. The same difference between someone who commits high treason and some big name American heroes, us vs. them. The problem comes when people try to hold the moral ground after going down to the enemies level. You are going to have to either choose the moral high...

Anthropic principal, only in a universe where an intelligent entity exist is it possible for there to be questions and ideas such as these. Thermodynamics, I can take energy from a to make b more ordered, though in the end, the total disorder in a AND b after the transaction will be greater...

I applied for my first pick first, and started on my application for the second one. Before I could finish requesting letters of rec for the second one, I was accepted into my first pick (it took all of 2 days to be accepted), so I didn't actually apply for any more (I made sure my first pick...

I cannot help with the engineering side of things, but here are a few questions to help with programming knowledge. Do you know the difference between an O(n) algorithm and an O(n**2) algorithm? Do you have a basic understanding of OOP and can you program and use interfaces? If given a data...

Depends upon how the information is presented. If they say 'an African American woman with 3 kids (all girls ages 2, 4, 12) received an abortion...' then yes it will be able to easily identify people. If on the other hands, they say '45% of people who received abortions were African American...

As to with holding information, even if we assume the unborn is it's own legal person (going as extreme pro-life here as possible), the mother is still the guardian of the child and thus information about the child cannot be withheld from the mother. Clearly wrong. In the case of posting...

Unless the academic people realize this, and try to account for it, which they do in most of these test.

I would suggest doing another 4 derivatives, and then see if you can notice the pattern. Often times when I am looking for a pattern in data, more data really helps. Is there a name for a function than takes in some natural number n and gives the n'th derivative?

While the functions themselves are different, would the area where they the x-axis be different (the second function crosses it twice, but we can throw away the negative case and only look a the positive case, as the negative case would give imaginary results anyways. Wolfram says they are the...

So my junior year is winding down, and now is the time for me to start applying to grad schools. The problem is that I'm not sure what subject I want to enter into, much less which schools to apply for. Currently, I am completing a B.S. in computer science and a B.S. in psychology with a...

Take the (sorry, forgotten how to latex) 4x**6 - x**4 - 1 and substitute y = x**2. So we then have a cubic formula. Solve the cubic formula for what y must equal, then set x to be all of the possitive and negative square-roots of all give y's. Wikipedia has the functions...

Yes. Definite: There is at least this definite (possibly more).

Because honest businessmen, as rare as they are, still exist.
