O.k- very intuetive thread- but ill give it my best.
It all started in 1999 when Mike decided to start a site called armageddon and disasters. He set up a small php and the admins kept upgrading it until its the shiny forum u see before u now.
My next thosis as to this question is:
It all started in 1775 with the french revolts. Armageddon was first thought through and seemd somewhat inevitable from that time on. Historians disagree in evaluating the factors that brought about the Revolution. To some extent at least, it came not because France was backward, but because the country's economic and intellectual development was not matched by social and political change. In the fixed order of the ancien régime, most bourgeois were unable to exercise commensurate political and social influence. King Louis XIV, by consolidating absolute monarchy, had destroyed the roots of feudalism; yet outward feudal forms persisted and became increasingly burdensome.
France was still governed by privileged groups–the nobility and the clergy–while the productive classes were taxed heavily to pay for foreign wars, court extravagance, and a rising national debt. For the most part, peasants were small landholders or tenant farmers, subject to feudal dues, to the royal agents indirect farming (collecting) taxes, to the corvée (forced labor), and to tithes and other impositions. Backward agricultural methods and internal tariff barriers caused recurrent food shortages, which netted fortunes to grain speculators, and rural overpopulation created land hunger.
In addition to the economic and social difficulties, the ancien régime was undermined intellectually by the apostles of the Enlightenment. Voltaire attacked the church and absolutism; Denis Diderot and the Encyclopédie advocated social utility and attacked tradition; the baron de Montesquieu made English constitutionalism fashionable; and the marquis de Condorcet preached his faith in progress. Most direct in his influence on Revolutionary thought was J. J. Rousseau, especially through his dogma of popular sovereignty. Economic reform, advocated by the physiocrats and attempted (1774—76) by A. R. J. Turgot, was thwarted by the unwillingness of privileged groups to sacrifice any privileges and by the king's failure to support strong measures.
The direct cause of the Revolution was the chaotic state of government finance. Director general of finances Jacques Necker vainly sought to restore public confidence. French participation in the American Revolution had increased the huge debt, and Necker's successor, Charles Alexandre de Calonne, called an Assembly of Notables (1787), hoping to avert bankruptcy by inducing the privileged classes to share in the financial burden. They refused in an effort to protect economic privileges.
The Estates-General and the National Assembly
Étienne Charles Loménie de Brienne succeeded Calonne. His attempts to procure money were thwarted by the Parlement of Paris (see parlement), and King Louis XVI was forced to agree to the calling of the States-General. Elections were ordered in 1788, and on May 5, 1789, for the first time since 1614, the States-General met at Versailles. The chief purpose of the king and of Necker, who had been recalled, was to obtain the assembly's consent to a general fiscal reform.
Each of the three estates–clergy, nobility, and the third estate, or commons–presented its particular grievances to the crown. Innumerable cahiers (lists of grievances) came pouring in from the provinces, and it became clear that sweeping political and social reforms, far exceeding the object of its meeting, were expected from the States-General. The aspirations of the bourgeoisie were expressed by Abbé Sieyès in a widely circulated pamphlet that implied that the third estate and the nation were virtually identical. The question soon arose whether the estates should meet separately and vote by order or meet jointly and vote by head (thus assuring a majority for the third estate, whose membership had been doubled).
As Louis XVI wavered, the deputies of the third estate defiantly proclaimed themselves the National Assembly (June 17); on their invitation, many members of the lower clergy and a few nobles joined them. When the king had their meeting place closed, they adjourned to an indoor tennis court, the jeu de paume, and there took an oath (June 20) not to disband until a constitution had been drawn up. On June 27 the king yielded and legalized the National Assembly. At the same time, however, he surrounded Versailles with troops and let himself be persuaded by a court faction, which included the queen, Marie Antoinette, to dismiss (July 11) Necker.
The Revolution of 1789
Parisians mobilized, and on July 14 stormed the Bastille fortress. Louis XVI meekly recalled Necker and went to the Hôtel de Ville in Paris, where he accepted the tricolor cockade of the Revolution from the newly formed municipal government, or commune. The national guard was organized under the marquis de Lafayette. This first outbreak of violence marked the entry of the popular classes into the Revolution. Mobilized by alarm over food shortages and economic depression, by hopes aroused with the calling of the States-General, and by the fear of an aristocratic conspiracy, peasants pillaged and burned châteaus, destroying records of feudal dues; this reaction is known as the grande peur [great fear].
On Aug. 4, the nobles and clergy in the Assembly, driven partly by fear and partly by an outburst of idealism, relinquished their privileges, abolishing in one night the feudal structure of France. Shortly afterward, the Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. Rumors of counterrevolutionary court intrigues circulated, and on Oct. 5, 1789, a Parisian crowd, aroused by rising food prices, marched to Versailles and brought the king and queen, "the baker and the baker's wife," back to the Tuileries palace in Paris. The Assembly also removed to Paris, where it drafted a constitution. Completed in 1791, the constitution created a limited monarchy with a unicameral legislature elected by voters with property qualifications.
Of gravest consequence were the Assembly's antireligious measures. Church lands were nationalized (1789), religious orders suppressed (1790), and the clergy required (July, 1790) to swear to adhere to the state-controlled Civil Constitution of the Clergy. Only a bare majority (52%) of all priests took the oath; disturbances broke out, especially in W France; and Louis XVI, though forced to assent, was roused to action. Numerous princes and nobles had already fled abroad (see émigré); Louis decided to join them and to obtain foreign aid to restore his authority. The flight (June 20—21, 1791) was halted at Varennes, and the king and queen were brought back in humiliation. Louis accepted the constitution.
Factionalism and War
On Oct. 1, 1791, the Legislative Assembly convened. Some members joined the various political clubs of Paris, such as the Feuillants and Jacobins. Most deputies were middle-of-the-roaders, swayed by the more radical clubs and by the Girondists. Jacobinism was gaining in this period; "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" became a catch phrase.
Meanwhile abroad, early sympathy for the Revolution was turning to hatred. Émigrés incited the courts of Europe to intervene; in France, war was advocated by the royalists as a means to restore the old regime, but also by many republicans, who either wished to spread the revolution abroad or hoped that the threat of invasion would rally the nation to their cause. The Feuillant, or right-wing, ministers fell and were succeeded by those later called Girondists. On Apr. 20, 1792, war was declared on Austria, and the French Revolutionary Wars began. Early reverses and rumors of treason by the king again led Parisian crowds to direct action.
The Reign of Terror
Instead of a democracy the Convention established a war dictatorship operating through the Committee of Public Safety, the Committee of General Security, and numerous agencies such as the Revolutionary Tribunal. Known to history as the Reign of Terror, this period represented the efforts of a few men to govern the country and wage war in a time of crisis. Georges Danton and Maximilien Robespierre dominated the new government, with Robespierre gradually gaining over Danton and others. Price and wage maximums were unevenly enforced, and acceptance of the inflated paper currency, the assignats, was made mandatory. A huge number of suspects were arrested; thousands were executed, including Marie Antoinette. A revolutionary calendar, with 10-day weeks, was adopted.
The fanatic Jacques Hébert, who had introduced the worship of a goddess of Reason, was arrested and executed in Mar., 1794, along with other so-called ultrarevolutionaries. The next month Danton and his followers, the "Indulgents," who advocated relaxation of emergency measures, were executed. To counter Hébertist influence, Robespierre proclaimed (June, 1794) the cult of the Supreme Being. France's military successes lessened the need for strong domestic measures, but Robespierre called for new purges. Fearing that the Terror would be turned against them, members of the Convention arrested Robespierre on July 27, 1794 (see Thermidor), and had him guillotined; a majority of Commune members were also executed.

Dude, I hate you. I just had a test over that in Calculus. Why are you torturing me? Sorry. It's just that the more I think about it, the better I do on it. I have a test next week, so I KNOW how you feel. Right now we're learning the Chain Rule... and then this bullshit about using derivatives as if they were actually variables... and like composite functions with derivatives instead of functions...[EDIT- what we're doing is called Implicit differentiation, btw] you gotta understand... I'm about to explode... I need venting...
Actually, the Quotient Rule is better then the Power Rule!
dy/dx=[2(2x)-(x^2)(0)]/(2^2)=4x/4=x
Actually I can't stand the quotient rule. I always try to multiply the denomenator on top as a negative exponent (you know, 1/x = x^-1 ?) and use the product rule... But sadly, often I fail at that tactic...
the only one I know for good is the power rule... the absolutely easiest to memorize...
(btw, since we're both taking calculus now, feel free to PM me about it, cause I'm sure we both can use as much help as we can get...
or maybe we should start a thread on it)
EDIT- Oh! that's another thing that confuses the hell out of me. I understand this: d/dx and this f ' (x), but this just drives me mad: dy/dx. The derivative of y with respect to x. What the hell does that mean? (the only way I've saved myself thus far is to some how convert Leibniz {dy/dx} notation to Newtonian notation {f ', y ' etc.}

I took my test on the Chain Rule last Friday and started Implicit Differentiation this week. It's crazy. I get how to do it, but I don't get why you have to turn the derivative into a variable. I mean, what's the point? I don't like any kind of math if there is no point.

Multivariable calculus was where I excelled; although that was many years ago. I feel your pain man (or woman or anyone who has to suffer through calculus). Solving differential equations sucks. I am glad that I'm on the other side now.

Now I wonder why I bothered to plow through this pile of bull.
Because deep down inside you were wondering... why?
People gather around 'why' like flies to shit... like moths to lightbulbs... like mass to shortrounds ass...
We have to know...
Why?

Why are we here?
Why do we exist?
Why do we love?
Why does my head hurt?
Why can't I find any batteries?

THAT was done purely in the name of science, and if it ends up on "You Tube" we at least want the academic credits.....
And no..... the hamsters were not involved!! they were simply impartial observers.

You know vary well what I mean "Miss 17 will get you 20" don't play innocent, we have all heard the about the.. "special math lessons" involving the use of motorized slide rules!
Your attempt to smoke screen those actions will fail, besides CT was acquitted of any wrong doing, and everyone knows his slide rules are pink, not blue.

I have a few questions...
Why was the second copy stolen?
Why were hamsters involved? surely you could have found a much better animal
Why blue? purple is a nice color.
Sammy56
Jun 25th, 2007, 4:21 PM
Why was the second copy stolen?I needed something to blackmail CT.
Why were hamsters involved? Because CT has a hamster fetish. It's why Bill beat him in the 2006 Poster of the Year contest. :D
Why blue? purple is a nice color.Nothing wrong with purple. Blue is alright. I actually prefer a beige/off-white color.
You know vary well what I mean "Miss 17 will get you 20" don't play innocent, we have all heard the about the.. "special math lessons" involving the use of motorized slide rules!What?! Me? Innocent little me? Never! I did not have sexual relations with that women...er...I mean CT!

OOOhhh this just gets better and better!!! Not only does she know the color, but her true orientations become quite clear!!
Perhaps this issue is more twisted than we thought! Far be it from me to equate motor driven items and cheese as being anything other than harmless, but at this point any more slips from Adolescent Anne and she will be forever tainted!
And CT should should seek legal help!

You see the truth will eventually be made known! this entire sorted affair will bring down the CTs of this world, and I will be waiting in the wings to assume power.
We have gone from use of Cigars to Cheese and hamsters in our political endeavors, and it has brought us nothing but exploited livestock and poorly produced videos!!

But not just calculus... I had fun with this the other day too:
nCr = n!/(r![n -r ]!)
Now, you told me there was an easier way to do combinations... please elaborate if you can.
*for the curious, the above formula will tell you how many possible combinations of choices you can pick given a number n of the total and a number r that you can pick. :D

*for the curious, the above formula will tell you how many possible combinations of choices you can pick given a number n of the total and a number r that you can pick.Yes, but that's if you assume that order doesn't matter (ie, 123 is the same as 321). If order does matter, you have to use:
nPr = n!/[(n-r)!]
Both of us are also assuming that each object can only be chosen once. If that is not the case, there are other formulas you have to use for both combinations and permutations.
These formulas also inherently assume that 0! = 1. Don't you just love math with zero?

Ok fine.
Yes, but that's if you assume that order doesn't matter (ie, 123 is the same as 321). If order does matter, you have to use:
nPr = n!/[(n-r)!]
And THAT'S why the possible number of batting order between 9 starters is 9! = 362,880.
nPr = 9!/[(9 - 9) !] = 9!/0! = 9!/1 = 9! = 362,880. Now, on another site some guy told me that I was wrong and that there are only 72 possible batting order combinations... I then swiftly manually found 81, not using the theory but just counting... I've posted them for your viewing pleasure :D
Batters A B C D E F G H I
I'll give you more than 72 different possible combinations with only changing ONE player's position (A). See, you can change the order that they bat at least NINE different ways per line up. That's NINE different batting orders while only making ONE change.
Count them. None of them repeat. Obviously, I won't do ALL of them. Trust me, the theory on this is solid.
