It is very true that serious users of mathematics (engineers, scientists, even mathematicians themselves) don't really rely on their ability to do calculations by hand; indeed, a lot of them suck at it. Doing it by hand while learning the s

Let me explain what I think the parent is getting at. Say there is a $20/share sell order registered on the exchange. Then another investor submits a $30/share buy order. As I understand it, at this point HFTs jump in, buy out the sell orde

It's only great for the women who aren't murdered at birth. I'm not sure there's a clear winner in this gender war interpretation of yours. EDIT: Did the math and concluded that for a normal sex ratio of ~103 to turn into one of 120, you'd

The Pidgin instructions are incorrect. The "Local Alias" field should be set to your name, not "Facebook Chat", as this field controls what name is printed next to your messages in your local chat window. Unless your name is actually "Faceb
