    News Poll: Was the 2004 election rigged?

    What a hoot. Now I "lead" a "cult"?? The Church of the Mighty Python is no cult. And PattyLou thinks I'm the one who's being "touchy" because I suggested a liberal step out of the past, accept reality and move along? If the liberal Democratic wing wants to continue to court every loony...

    News Poll: Was the 2004 election rigged?

    Perhaps things were rigged for Kerry, and he STILL LOST! AH HAHAHAHAHA! Just like the fraudulent campaign the libs just tried to run in Ohio, and THEY still lost. In summary, YOU LOST! GET OVER IT!

    Misc. Easy DIY Experiments: Home Science Without High-Tech

    Next time there's a thunderstorm in the area, you could try hooking up a key with a kite and then flying it. That should make for a hair raising experiment.

    Can Prophet Yahweh truly summon UFO's as he claims?

    Nah, he's obviously just a very CARING prophet, and apparently doesn't want to subject any aliens to those dangerous winds. :smile: And besides, just think of the lawsuits should anything happen to them on his account!

    Fathers Who Went Back to School: Challenges & Successes

    First off, $20 an hour isn't exactly a "crappy" job. As for "slowly going bankrupt", perhaps you should consider the fact that such a description currently applies to a very large segment of our society as corporations continue to hand out 2-3% raises per year, while cost of living/expenses...

    How does battery chargers work?

    Which is what, in most cases, the battery charger will do. It plugs into the A.C. and then outputs a D.C. voltage, and depending on the quality/expense of the charger, will also allow you to select various "current" ranges. That allows you to either charge the battery quickly, or more slowly...

    What Are the Best Tools for Teaching Calculus to Children?

    Skillful and patient indeed. I was quite impressed the first time I checked this board out. It is certainly loaded with some very sharp minds. And yes, a good number of them are indeed very patient and helpful. I definitely consider it to be one of the more useful places on the net.

    What Are the Best Tools for Teaching Calculus to Children?

    Can't argue with that. You're quite correct in making the statement that too many people need to ignore things they don't like, rather than whining and crying and always taking any comment too personal. I'm not suggesting he was quite that bad, though he did seem to bail quickly. You're also...

    Is Zero Raised to the Power of Zero Equal to One?

    Perhaps this says that everybody's right. At least, given the situation. This guy does agree though, that the majority view is that 0^0 = 1. http://www.mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/faq.0.to.0.power.html But isn't it nice when everyone can be correct? :!)

    Is Zero Raised to the Power of Zero Equal to One?

    An interesting discussion indeed. I thought at least SOMEWHERE there might be something a bit more "conclusive", geez, let's discuss what THAT means too! Hah,,,, Anyways, here is another aspect, especially what the author brings up regarding gamma functions,,,, Food for thought anyways...

    What Are the Best Tools for Teaching Calculus to Children?

    Well hopefully he'll check back and see that he's actually welcome in order that this discussion could continue. I agree though, if he's going to bail on account of THAT exchange, he must not get along well on too many web boards! Hopefully he'll realize that a lot of times, people say something...

    Courses Which Math Course Should I Take Next Year for Theoretical Physics?

    Have you considered talking to some of the profs/instructors in the math and physics departments at your school to see what they suggest? I don't know how well you know them, but they generally seem to be pretty helpful if they're decent profs in the first place.

    Calculating Resistance of Z for 6V Identical Lamps in Parallel Circuit

    It should be even easier when you look at the fact that you have 12 volts, you want to have 6 volts across the bulbs, and you know you therefore need to drop the other 6 volts across the resistor.
