Gary Rubin Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yeah never had quantum mechanics but I'm sure it's like NASCAR. when ever some thing weird happens and their interviewing the driver they ramble on and on about stuff then they usually say "well that's racing for you" In my 4 physics classes in which I was exposed to quantum mechanics, I don't think I ever heard it compared to NASCAR... Now, if the cars could tunnel through the retaining walls, that would be another story... "Why is the sky blue?" Rayleigh scattering. (Sorry, couldn't resist) Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 ...perhaps I'm forgetting some odd quantum "spin" exclusion thing-a-ma-gig rule or something. spin, charge, colour - pick whatever you like Now, if the cars could tunnel through the retaining walls, that would be another story... Now you're talking about a shit-load of energy! Quote Link to comment
jpdrolet Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Well with LabVIEW 2+2=5 seems right for large values of 2. 2+2=3 seems equally good for small values of 2. OT Trivia: what is the last decimal digit of 2? Download File:post-447-1163450115.vi Quote Link to comment

Dave Graybeal Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Wow, no kidding. I would have never guessed the numbers would be that close. I like firefox alot myself, however due to old habits I find that I still nearly always click on IE to surf the net. Some old habits die hard. That alone led me to believe that there would be a greater gap between the two. Dave Quote Link to comment
LAVA 1.0 Content Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Crikey - that's a lot closer than I expected AND fairly close to what I guessed! I've mentioned before I'm dyslexic, maybe that's why I got them reversed :laugh: Quote Link to comment
jpdrolet Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Gee... IE7 was pushed as an automatic update on my computer this morning...

crelf Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Yeah, right. Now what am I supposed to do??? Use FireFox. Quote Link to comment
jpdrolet Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Use FireFox. I do, I do. I started IE7 for mere curiosity. My curiosity is fully satisfied now. Quote Link to comment

jpdrolet Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 OT Trivia: what is the last decimal digit of 2? OK Time's up. Since 2 can be represented both by 2.0 and 1.9 (where the underscore represents a periodic digit) it seems that the notion of "last decimal digit" in the decimal representation is meaningless... Another useless post by jpdrolet Quote Link to comment
