I would suggest checking the hard drive's viability still, if it's still good, then all your stuff is not lost.

Calculus: I haven't gotten to that level of mathematics (I'm currently in Precalculus II), but I'm sure I would be able to figure out a way to do it.

Matrix: Oh, that's easy to do, if you know the material. And have plenty of room on the paper.
* holmes221b loves working with matrices.

1267: You know that the Mayan Calendar is just like any other calendar--when the year is over, you get a new one (and if you didn't know that already, you do now).

I haven't a clue what RNG is...
*light bulb turns on*
Oh, wait, that's Random Number Generator, isn't it?

Like what?

(I can't quite understand what you're saying for some reason, either)

Easy.
Remove the RAM from the computer, then replace it back in the computer.

personal injury? D: I didnt realize that ndless was that dangerous!
TI has a valid point there about personal injury--messing with electronics does carry the risk of electric shock, which can potentially result in cardiac arrest and death.



Why do you think teachers ask students to show their work nowadays? As long as you can show how you got from point A to point B and understand what you did, it shouldn't matter whether or not you used a calculator program. But that's just my opinion.

Take out ALL of the ram, and turn it on and see if it beeps at you.
I don't think it'll even turn on?

Speaking of RAM, physically resetting the RAM might work.

1257: You have spare time? Programmers shouldn't have "spare time".
I don't even know what is precisely meant by "spare time", since everyone has the same amount of time...well, unless you include the minimal variations in time caused by gravity (note that I'm only talking about Earth here, as gravity causes a larger variation in time between planets).


1262: You probably could code a program to calculate the variation in time caused by gravity.

I'm talking about stuff like "the merits of doing the doggy style over the missionary position" type of thing.
like....?
lol jk.
Please don't as we don't want to drive away younger members.
Actually, it would be safe enough to explain...that was one of the weirdest discussions ever in biology class that semester...we were talking about the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction and the teacher used those terms as metaphors for those concepts. My class never allowed her to forget that day, either.

By the way this image is out of date. I didn't feel like checking boards again for their respective final post of 2010 ID and the like. I might update it eventually. It says Dec 22nd but I think Omni is even more out of date, because considering activity was lower during holidays, it's nearly impossible that we went from 83K to 87K in 9 days then. O.O
I don't know...I was posting a lot in that time frame.

That's something you would expect them to know.
