Well, if there was an analytic solution to the integral of a Gaussian you wouldn't need these calculations you're talking about.

And even then having an analytical solution to the problem can give you clues about analytical approximations as well, which in turn would make the computations faster.

And how is this a teaching problem? Instead of a learners problem? If people think they are being "tracked" on their computer based study, they probably will feign understanding as well, just not to be label stupid... by a computer.

If a student is not capable of stopping by the teacher's office and ask for an in deep explanation, or if it's stubborn to keep asking and asking holding everyone behind, then there's a learning problem. The teacher is there to help for sure. I had plenty of help from my teachers, rephrasing, and using different examples that help me better understand what I was missing from the picture.

Overall, and as usual, the problem comes from the intolerance from people that think others are annoying for asking, and the shame of others thinking they may annoy someone else with their questions. Plain and simple, it's just cultural.

Well, knowing that big ISPs are planning on roamming wifi networks for their subscribers as a next step to "increase coverage". I'm thinking they will be running coffee shop wifis and tracking you down anyways.

And many of the ones still using Firefox like me, very likely uses NoScript together with AdBlockPlus (plus other more), so many JS scripts from tracking pages, are automatically removed. Which I assume also shifts some of those the statistic sites.

On the contrary, less people changes their Agent strings, so webmasters tend to have more accurate information about their visitors.

I've been asking this forever! If Diesel engines have better torque, why not using them in hybrids as power plant (in a similar way Direct UPSs work). After all, most power plants I know are diesel, not gasoline.

Here I was thinking that was the technology Seagate bought from Maxtor.

Batteries have a bit of a slower pace. But the more power budget you give to designers, the more features they add and more power they consume. If some people is fine with having a device recharged every 24h, many people (designers) will work with that budget in mind.

Darn! I got married already.

But I guess I won't be needing children if I can render them. No student loans for my non-existent kids! I can also make my babies look cuter and anyone else!

I couldn't agree more. They could replace the save icon with the picture of an SSD drive, and people wouldn't know what it is, and still they would have to learn the meaning.

in the same way people learn when they are kids that hearts are love (even though they don't tend to be loyal representations of hearts) or how people relate stars to "favorites" (how did that happen?).

I was thinking about this the other day, and many icons make no sense whatsoever (Safe for backups makes no sense if you technically compare the objects) . But I got tobthe conclusion, that the save icon could be replaced with a parachute picture, at least until gravity becomes obsolete.

So you left your country because it didn't provide you with enough benefits. You're probably not paying taxes in that country ... but you feel offended when someone else tries to look further benefits of a different citizenship, just like you did.

C'mon! That's not a fair comparison, when we all know that with 0.07% certain parts of your brain are even working better

Now the question is, Would you drive better if you use your cellphone with 0.07% blood alcohol than not alcohol at all?

Also, you should read... the fact that there's a differentiation between Lithium and Lithium-Ion. Where the latest, the rechargeable ones seem to be allowed, contrary to the non-rechargeable ones.

Arrgghh... where did that "Not" came from. Was "Note" or just "Also".

Preview... preview... preview...

Not also that according to the table (Exhibit 10.20.8 Lithium Battery Mailability Chart). The ones non-mailable are the called primary, which seem to refer to the lithium batteries, not "Secondary" which seem to refer to the Lithium-Ion (rechargeable) batteries.

Am I confused about this?
