My wife has an iPhone 4S, iPad Mini and an iMac 21". She got the iPad Mini first and chose it over the rest of the competition because she appreciated its look and feel and the particular capabilities of some of the built-in applications. She was very happy with the set up ... until iOS 7...
One of the things that the history of science has taught me is that things are rarely as clear as they are often portrayed to be. For example, Brahe had proposed an intermediate system in which the Moon and the Sun revolved around the Earth (one of the reasons being the one you gave) and the...
Not so sure about pi as a separate entry. Perhaps Archimedes might be more fittingly remembered for the method he used to determine pi or his works on hydrostatics and statics.
Napier (1614) might be a better starting point for logarithms than e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Napier
Least important? 0 - it's nothing, I tell you.
Most important? i - it's all about me! or maybe 1, because that is me. :biggrin:
Although, looking at their body mass indices, I'd say pi is the most important to some people. :devil:
Thinking about it, I wonder if there might be a small flaw in your parenthesized clause? Does the possibility exist that people continue to "dress up" to maintain the "mated" state by continuing to be sufficiently attractive that the other half a) does not feel the need to seek alternatives or...
It knows you've entered a value after executing the INP command - the value is then in the accumulator. The STA command stores the accumulator value in the stated location (eg, NUM1 and NUM2 in your example).
You need to lookup the use of labels and the branch commands to make loop...
To you, maybe. I still find the dedicated interface and separation from the computer to be useful.
I work for a comms engineering company and it is a fact that the majority of the couple of hundred people on my floor (systems engineers, support engineers and programme managment (project...
I still occasionally use a calculator, primarily because the interface is more expedient to use than some other method. Depending upon my mood or need, it will be my HP11 or HP49g.
My first port of call is usually Mathcad on a PC or one of the calculators I have on my Android phone...
I wasn't particularly thinking that self-attractiveness was necessarily bound to conscious self-awareness, although I am open to that possibility in at least some mammals (and possibly some birds or even cephalopods). However, I do wonder what processes an animal invokes when it "decides" that...
Hmm. I would
have thought there is at least the possibility that self-attractiveness is a contributory factor to mating success. It probably forms part of the relative fitness calculations that are (un)consciously performed by animals when they play the mating game - not my field at all, but...
Umm .. just a few observations
1. My quote doesn't really care whether the idea is teasingly or unknowingly extended beyond said bounds. However, Murphy's Law guarantees somebody, somewhere will actually think it's a good idea.
2. They're not really high heels so much as ballet points...
I often have problems finding the right smiley to express the right nuance or implied interpretation of what I mean. An example of this is that, being a science forum, I find the lack of a "Muuhahaha" mad-scientist cackle somewhat frustrating. In addition, the "devil" smiley just doesn't have...
