Mother, I'd like to ****.

Q. While I'm thinking about it... what starts with an f and ends in uck?

A. Firetruck. you dirty minded b******s.
.

Q. What starts with F and ends with K, and if a man doesn't get it, then he uses his hands?

A. Fork!

I couldn't resist posting this. 😛
 
I can tell you those extra 67MHz don't make a lot of difference. First Santa Rosa MBP and I'm buying - was going to wait until leopard, but... well, you know...

I'm living on a two-year old Mac Mini with a gig of RAM and it's still slow. 🙄 In October we're getting a Mini or Macbook w/ intel.
 
10.4.10 oo look, its a mnemonic.
Hmm... perhaps this patch will introduce some basic support for some Leopard features? As in Tiger being able to detect them..
 
I don't know, Clive, my friend. A friend asked me what the amount was, and that's not what I came up with.

We have:

0.002 + e^i + 23.14 + 1

(Breaking up e^(iPi))

This gave me 24.142 plus an imaginary amount. And since imaginary money doesn't go through banks, I figure the final answer was $24.14.

I guess my question is, how did you get that e^(iPi) = -1?

That would mean that e^i = -1/23.14. Where did that come from?

I'm confuzzled. 🙂
Polar coordinates. R x e^(iΦ) gives the point on a circle with radius R, rotated Φ radians counterclockwise from horizontal right. that's because e^iΦ=cosΦ + i sinΦ. and when you split a power into factors, you don't add the two new ones or multiply them, , like e^ab, it's not e^a+e^b or e^ae^b, it's (e^a)^b. in that example, Φ=π and R = 1, so you get the value -1+0i.
 
Yup

Thus the importance of reading to the end of the thread before replying. Clive already taughteth, and I already learndeth. 🙂

Thanks for trying, though. And welcome to the board.
