Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Nov 06, 2009 6:00am PSTThe Steam deal on Mass Effect reminded me I should finally take it out of my stack of unplayed games and give it a whirl and, well, it's good. Very nice. So nice, in fact, that I started playing this morning then lost all track of time and now have to rush up a chatty.
Today is Friday. You might like that.

What should I get if I don't want to spend more than $200? And I'm not more partial to ATI over Nvidia or the other way around. Whichever is fast, cheap, and gets me good FPS in games.

I seriously can't tell if this is a joke or not.
It's either a classic example of what happens when open source developers design hardware, or a hilarious joke commentary of the perception of what happens when open source developers design hardware.

I think Up is probably my favourite so far with District 9 a close second. I'm really curious to see how Avatar turns out.

This is one of the coolest ideas I've seen for a space elevator, especially since we could technically build it with existing materials. Plus, the part about being able to make an infinitely long bridge with only a single span is just cool.

Here is the equation (it's the logistic growth equation for population dynamics in case you were curious):
http://www.shackpics.com/files/Picture2_two3wbvfd2ol41e1fjar.png
I would like to solve for k. Unfortunately I haven't taken math in a while so I'm not really sure I'm doing it right. Here's what I got if you're interested though:
I solved it and wound up canceling out k, which gave me the exponential growth equation, Nt=N0*(e^rt )-.- I'm hoping it's wrong, because if I can find a way to solve for k based on my data I can do some really awesome things with said data.
Any help would be appreciated!

I'm at the following part past Loathering (Went to elf lands): You go into the ruins after speaking to the Elves about killing the wolf. I'm roaming through the runes and come across a dragon. holy shit this thing is hard. Am I just supposed to avoid it or what? I don't even come close to beating this thing. I have two warriors and two mages in my group. Sometimes just walking into the room he does his exploding fireball, and every now and then it will crit and just instagib my character so some attempts are over instantly. Ugh. Any advice?
