Your Toast Has Been Burnt, and No Amount Of Scraping Will Remove The Black Parts!

Just got my report card! I'm soooo excited, I got a B- on math (I though I got an F). For the past week, I've been thinking "I don't think I got enough right" etc, but I obviously did! And I got honor roll!

---------------

Grats tanshin!

 
But using paralels I can run win7 and ubuntu/openSuse at the same time !
 
Beat that!!
 
And I'm now waiting till sperember when snow leopard is released  
 
And tanshin, congrats!
 
I failed my end of yr maths test
 
I'm retaking on Monday

Don't use Parallels for games, use BootCamp so you aren't sharing memory.

hello im back i was on vacation for about a month and i got back with my computer screen water logged because i have a leaky roof

Well good to see everything is back in working order. Welcome back!

I knew we were missing someone!    
 
Welcome Back

Your Toast Has Been Burnt, and No Amount Of Scraping Will Remove The Black Parts!

Well done, Tanshin!

And welcome back, Dazza.

Oh, and I saw Braveheart today. Yes, I know! Of all the movies I've seen, I missed Braveheart for so long! It's an excellent film, one of my top 10 now, I think.

Yes, Braveheart is a great movie.
 
p.s. Legace, you aware that Mac OS X runs on an iPhone? It's a good deal by the way!

Please tell us what you don't like about it. Perhaps we can give you some pointers.

It's because the one on the iPhone wasn't so ridiculously named "Snow" Leopard.

You can also switch applications using the dock. If an application is open, it'll show a blue light bulb right under the icon. And any application that's open, but not on the dock when it's off, will be placed right of the applications that are placed on the dock.
 
Exposé. It really is brilliant.

I think its a good name, its not a whole new OS just an upgrade... Jobbs Thinks maybe a Cousin ?

Thankyou

You mean the "To die would be a great adventure" quote? No I'm not goth! It's a quote off of Hook (Peter Pan basically) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102057/

EDIT: I'm only on page 60, so I'll keep editing this

EDIT2: So if Chrome OS is just a distro as it is based on Linux, is windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X (Different versions) all just distros of the same basic underlying technology? Where do you draw the line?

Oh, and by the way: I'M BACK!

Had a fantastic week, been so much fun. The chemistry was really boring, but the physics was amazing - we made water levitate inside a superconductor and played with liquid nitrogen Definitely thinking either Mathematics or Physics at uni, I just don't know which... Physics involves more A-Level type maths, whereas Mathematics is more the theories, proofs and tend towards philosophy. Also did some more fun activities, like pool, table tennis, table football, some very basic Mandarin, played drums (Huge bongo drum thing) and ended the week with a celebration dinner and disco - sadly I can't dance

Oh, and to top the week off - ghost got a girlfriend!

I don't care! Snow Leopard is a retarded name! Why'd they even start naming their OSs after felines in the first place? The whole idea is stupid, I don't even like cats!

Yes, XP and Vista ought to be considered different versions of Windows. Same for Macs. And I would say that's the way it is for Linux, as well.

Oh, so you know someone else named ghost as well? Interesting!

Keep in mind that both Physics and Mathematics revolve around theory. And unless you go for Engineering in Physics, the only jobs you can expect to get are a secondary school teacher or a college professor (for which you will probably require a PhD). That's why I took Computer Engineering. I'll learn not only Physics and Mathematics, but Computers as well ... which has much better earning potential. Additionally, in American universities, you have other subject requirements as well: Social Studies and Humanities, Foreign Languages, Literature, etc. And if one's really interested in the sciences, you can always do a dual-degree, which is probably what I will do: either a dual Bachelor's or dual Master's degree. Ultimately, it is your choice, and you must of course choose whatever you like, but it doesn't hurt to think of your career as well, does it?

Holy Shit, You got lucky
 
and i envy you .... I want to play with liquid nitrogen and make water levitate
 
Im Soo Bored,  
 
and i failed my maths test

Ah Uttaresh you're hilarious!. I got a girlfriend. Happy?
 
And I fully intend to do a PhD, and probably just stay in academia, research perhaps - my sister's done her PhD and now she's going into lecturing at Durham university. Yes they resolve around theory, but Physics involves more problem solving mathematics, and more application to real life situations - in fact it is application to real life situations. Whereas Mathematics is more about testing the theories to their limits, messing around with infinity and 'magic' numbers and generally thinking more than actual number crunching.

Tmax:
That's what happens when you qaste your time on hooey like Parallel Universes!

Maths shouldn't be too difficult, just practise and you'll soon get the hang of it.

Ghost:
Ermm ... if you want real-life applications: that's Engineering. But as you're set on being a Doctor of Philosophy, I guess Physics is the way to go.

Is that sarcasm? I really cannot tell. Didn't I tell you to use appropriate emoticons?

LOL, but seriously, good for you!

Yea, it's not so bad - shame about your test though Real life application in the physical doing sense is engineering yes, but by application I mean applying the theory to real life, through thinking, calculations and experiments. Personally I'm more into creating theory, messing around with infinity and pushing the boundaries of pure theoretical maths. So Maths at university is very tempting. I'm more interested in doing something I love than necessarily tailoring to my career - though it would make more logical sense But for hanging around in academia it's less important.

---------------

I know what you mean, Ghost. I would very much like to get a second degree purely for knowledge's sake (or is it knowledge sake? ). In something that has nothing to do with science; like British Literature, European or World History (note how knowing when to use commas before conjunctions comes in handy here), Graphics and Design (here, too!), the English language and linguistics(obviously), or maybe even French if I were any good at it. The only problem is that it'll delay my employment by at least one year, which may look good or bad on my résumé(or curriculum vitae if you're British), and which will cost me about 25-30,000 dollars extra. And the trouble is that I also want to Master in Engineering as well as Business Administration, which will also take time. Of course, I also want to have a real job by the time I'm 25 and get properly settled by the time I'm 27, so yeah ...

No I have a shit math teacher and no notice of any exams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I have been getting top marks all other times apart from when you walk in on a Thursday morning and are told you have end of year exams!!  
 
And I did not fail it... Just my math teacher insists I get the equivelent to B grade O level in YR 8 !
 
They think im uber Smart like you guys
 
oh and im doing Grade 4 (ABRSM) French Horn on wednesday

@legace:
How can you hate exposé? On the old keyboard, you can press F11 to see the desktop (a key that I can't live without). I must say, I hate the new keyboards with Exposé because you have to hold ⌘ to do that.

Hey Ghost! Since you're so interested in Mathematics, I wonder you could help me with something. I don't know how this got into my head, or what the source is, but it suddenly just did. Why is it that some prime numbers when added to twice the previous prime number give another prime number?

For example:
3 + 2(2) = 7
5 + 2(3) = 11
7 + 2(5) = 17
11 + 2(7) = 25 (NOT)
13 + 2(11) = 35 (NOT)
17 + 2(13) = 43
19 + 2(17) = 53
23 + 2(19) = 61
29 + 2(23) = 75 (NOT)
31 + 2(29) = 89
37 + 2(31) = 99 (NOT)
41 + 2(37) = 115 (NOT)
43 + 2(41) = 125 (NOT)
47 + 2(43) = 133 (NOT)
53 + 2(47) = 147 (NOT)
59 + 2(53) = 155 (NOT)
61 + 2(59) = 179

As you can see, there is an obvious pattern, it keeps changing/throwing exceptions. Know anything about this?

OK, I've added a few more numbers, and now the calculations are getting a little complex. If only I hadn't uninstalled Visual Studio or Turbo C++, I could've created a program to list all the exceptions and adherents to the idea!
