Question for MathGAF: What are the steps or logic in order to solve C and D? (I already solved A and B ):
Sorry if my math sucks but I still cant figure out by myself, the main concept for ODE's and the steps required to analyze and solve ODE problems, and the fact that I learnt derivatives and integrals with a "mechanical process" instead of logical thinking and understanding the concept, made me suck at math .
Stewart calculus page 571, 6th edition, still no euler or separation methods, I wont flip the page until I can understand this.
You're just looking for a particular value of C that makes your function be equal to 2 when x = 1. So you set y = 2, x = 1 and solve for C. You end up with C = 2, so your solution is y = (lnx + 2)/x. This is for part c, obviously - d is basically the same.

Probably neither. It's likely just bad compression at the source. A lot of the time, you'll see it on channels that upconvert their old low-res feed and rebroadcast it as HD. The local Fox affiliate here for years was notoriously bad for over-treating their "HD" signal. It was up-res'd, gaussian blurred, and overcompressed to within an inch of its life.Zapages said:Why do some of my channels look pixelated and very glitchy.Do I need new HDMI cables or do I need a new cable box. We have Cablevision here.
A couple of months ago, there were reports of scientists finding a new life form not based on carbon (might've been cyanide based or something like that). Was that another hoax or what? It's been rather quiet about it for some time now :S Seemed real enough back then.
Just watched an X Files episode about a silicone based fungus so I just started thinking about it :lol

What's the latest & greatest in the world of netbooks? I'm looking for a relatively low-cost computer just to fiddle around with every now and again. The iPad & Chromebooks are too limited in options for my preference.

Just keep referencing that every now and then. Right now, there's nothing really new. They're culturing the extremophile for distribution now, but science takes a while sometimes.
Also, I love the origin of the name.
Edit: BTW, it wasn't not based on carbon. It just was capable of using arsenic instead of phosphorous in some biochemical processes. This is still pretty huge, but it won't be Huge unless it can be confirmed.

In The Matrix, when Neo first awakens in the real world, why does the first machine he sees unscrew his head plug and then just fly away? Why wouldn't it kill him or alert the rest of the machines? Surely a human awakening from the Matrix isn't a normal everyday occurrence.

Also didn't the Architect explain in Revolutions that the escapes to Zion were allowed in order to create a control in the system?

I get to use the Duty Free shop at Heathrow next week - does anyone know if I can buy electronics / games duty free or is it just perfume and smokes?

It's all duty free, just depends what shops are there. What terminal will you be at? T5 has some really good shopping, including an HMV and a few other electronics stores. Check the Heathrow website, it'll have a list.
Still huge, but somehow disappointing anyway As answered several pages back: the integrated forum search function has been disabled for members, because it put too much strain on the servers. The admins mentioned that they would like to bring it back, but there are no definitive plans or time frame.JAVK said:
in the mean time, you can use the google search in the top right to search for "JAVK's avatar", which will return (most of) your posts.
Roughly how much money should I save for a one month backpacking trip in europe? I have an opportunity to get ridiculously cheap plane tickets to copenhagen, just wondering, without getting into specifics, how much will it cost. I know this is hugely variable on where i go, what i do, and where i stay, but a ballpark figure would be fine.

Why the FUCK do people put their images in PNG format? The image quality increase is negligible at best and paint sometimes has a problem opening them. They're just overall such a fucking pain in the ass i rage everytime someone uploads a png image instead of a jpeg. There's no FUCKING reason for it.

Modern computers and applications are all capable of processing PNG images just fine and the size difference is negligible for broadband connections.Angry Fork said:

I don't understand exactly what the problem that needs to be resolved with the PNG format. The original, not entirely calm, questioner seems to be unhappy that one specific program doesn't read them well. I've never had any problem with it. What are the specific items that need fixing in the format?
(or was your post one of those "that's the joke" things?)
PNG are loseless, which means they present the picture exactly as it originally was. JPEG is lossy and, therefor, has compression artifacts.Angry Fork said:
Generally, PNG is preferred for pictures with lots of fine lines or sparse areas. For example, something with text in it (web comics, screenshots of forums/websites, etc). In these cases, not only do PNGs look noticeably better, but they are often the same size or smaller than JPEGs. PNG is also preferred anytime that quality is a concern, since it is loseless.
JPEG, on the other hand, is best used for "busy" (non-sparse) images, such as photographs, (digital) paintings/drawings, etc. Because of all the information needed to store the image, a lossy format saves space/bandwidth. And because the image is so busy anyway, compression artifacts caused by JPEG aren't as noticeable to the viewer.
By today's technological standards, the extra size needed for some PNGs (again, sometimes the PNG is smaller than the JPEG) is negligible. And while you may not care/notice a difference in quality, it is an important and noticeable aspect for other people. For the people who care, the difference in quality most certainly would not be described as "negligible at best".
As for your problem opening PNGs... the only time I've had a problem with MS Paint displaying a PNG is when the PNG has transparency enabled for some of the pixels. In these cases, the pixels just display as white. JPEGs do not support transparency, which is another benefit for PNGs (when displayed properly, as all modern browsers do).
MS Paint is an extremely limited image editing program; I suggest you use a different one. Two free, good alternatives are: Paint.NET and GIMP. As the poster above me guessed, I would also guess that you're on XP. Perhaps it's time to update to an OS that isn't a decade old.

Because sometimes you want to save something losslessly.Angry Fork said:
Question for you: How did you get your JPEG avatar to be even larger than saving the same thing as a PNG?

Discrete cards are removable but they are very specific. The hardware connections for them change completely with each generation and so only a few models from the time period that your laptop was produced will be able to be used. It's mainly for replacing cards, not upgrading.JCX said:

I seem to recall reading a story from the early days of the biological and chemical weapons research in America. What they did was they took human waste and refined it and processed it until it was this superfine powder. And in testing they found that it would basically ruin your lungs and kill you if you inhaled even a tiny bit of this stuff. This was like the early part of the 20th century so nicking your toe might have killed you, but still.
Has anyone ever heard or read that one? Anyway, I can't find a reference to it anywhere, and I wondered if people might have taken it down for homeland security reasons, which would make sense because, why give the terrorists any tips? Super easy to make chemical WMD. But then that makes me wonder about the nature of digital media, how easy it becomes to make things disappear or change the public record.

It just depends on you. I have mild hayfever, but none of the stuff you can buy over the counter/in the supermarket works for me, so I have to get prescription stuff. Just start with the cheapest - if it works, awesome, you've saved loads of money, and if it doesn't, you didn't waste much.
