LOL, our school went on lockdown last week because someone was shooting at birds in their backyard about 3 blocks away from our school... >_<
By the way. I FREAKING HATE MTP ON MY ANDROID PHONE!!!!

Wow. Some robbery at the nearby HESS gas station (I think) made the schools go into lockdown.

I think the fact is that reasponsible people are out there with guns, yes. But firearms have been a sign of 'Murican freedom for the past 300+ years. That may sound stupid but come on. The revolutionary war was started for even stupider reasons. 
 
We have a gang going with a gang leader. The gang leader "introduces" a new kid to the whole gang. They all play nice for a while and the new kid shows a lot of talent and brings in good money. He is a bit hard to reach though as he lives farther than the others do. As he brings in good dough and is a bit hard to reach, the gang leader just lets that kid go. But crap happens and that kid gets jumped by another gang so the gang leader comes and helps. Well, the gang leader and his boys that helped the new kid get banged up a bit and so they have some fees to pay. Well so with this whole incident, the gang leader decides to tighten the hold on the new kid more as it has been shown that he needs to keep an eye out. And he also wants a temporary(or not) larger share of that kids operations to make back some of those fees as you know, the leader helped. Well, that new kid erupts with anger as he has been given too much freedom and blah blah blah.
 
That is literally the American Revolution. Who wins wars rewrites history. That for one was quite an unjust war and also very hypocritical by today's standards.
 
So going back to the gun law. Yes. Murican's love their freedom. *sigh*
 
What is quite an astonishing thing is this article:
http://www.latimes.com/news/world/worldnow/la-man-slashes-22-children-near-china-school-20121214,0,6383015.story
 
Basically another deranged dude showed up at an elementary schol in China and knifed a few kids. Well gues what. Like most countries in the world that aren't on the continent of Africa or S. America. Guns are hard to get if near impossible. This dude could only slash a few kids. Granted, not good but not a single person died. Some are in ER for heavy stitching but none the less. 

Simply put, America is dumb.

The misunderstanding got cleared
 
Speaking of "dirt cheap", my uncle posted this to facebook a few days ago. I don't know if he wrote it (based on facts) or he quoted it from somewhere but it's quite a nice read:

Spoiler: The%20origin%20of%20some%20English%20expressions%20for%20a%20good%20laugh%20...

Where did "Piss Poor" come from? Interesting history.

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot.

And then once it was full it was taken and sold to the tannery...

if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor".
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to bu
y a pot...

They "didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the lowest of the low.

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature
Isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Here are some facts about the 1500's

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May,

And they still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell,
brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.

Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.

The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water,

Then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children.

Last of all the babies.

By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.
Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!"

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.

It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals
(mice, bugs) lived in the roof.

When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof.
Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs."
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.

This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings

Could mess up your nice clean bed.

Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection.

That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.

Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery
In the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing..

As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door,
It would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way.
Hence: a thresh hold.

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.

Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables
And did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers
In the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day.

Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.

Hence the rhyme:

“Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.

When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off.

It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon."

They would cut off a little to share with guests

And would all sit around and chew the fat.

Those with money had plates made of pewter.

Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death.

This happened most often with tomatoes,
so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status..

Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle,

and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky.
The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days..
Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.
They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around
and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up.

Hence the custom; “holding a wake."
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.

So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave.

When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.
So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.

Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be,
“saved by the bell" or was "considered a dead ringer."

And that's the truth.

Now, whoever said history was boring!!!

So get out there and educate someone!
Share these facts with a friend.
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering,
"What the heck happened?"
We'll be friends until we are old and senile.
Then we'll be new friends.

Smile, it gives your face something to do!
 

 

Interesting.

Hey, don't go raging on overkill.
Although it would indeed be simpler to do it the following way:
We have H20 + S02 -> H2SO4
Let, H = e1, O=e2, S = e3. (where ei is the ith standard basis is R^3)
Then we have:
x1(2,1,0)^t + x2(0,2,1)^t = x3(2,4,1)^t
We can put the vectors as rows in a matrix and apply Gauss elimination,
(2 1 0)~(2 1 0)~(2 1 0)~(2 1 0)
(0 2 1)~(0 2 1)~(0 2 1)~(0 0 1)
(2 4 1)~(0 3 1)~(0 1 0)~(0 1 0)
Which is in reduced form with three pivot variables. Therefore the three vectors are independent, and therefore there is no linear combination of the two reactants able to form the product of the reaction.
Trust me, this method is MUCH quicker than anything you're used to, as long as you understand the underlying math.
That doesn't really answer the question.
Besides, that wouldn't even work if you only use one playlist, and replace the contents of the playlist every time you switch artists.
LOL

Yeah, I'm a bit confused since I haven't learned any of this yet (they skip over so many things over here like direct variation; y=kx).

Oh My GOD!! This is genius!!!!
I never thought of doing chem this way!!!
Thanks for the tip

 
and regarding the question, reacting sulfur dioxide and water will form Sulfurous acid not Sulfuric acid:
SO2 + H2O -> H2SO3

It forms it indirectly by first having two sulfur dioxide molecules bond with an O2 molecule which forms two sulfur trioxide molecules which then bonds with water giving you H2SO3 (we were taught that it was called sulfuric acid, which I think is called hydrogen sulfate or something).

Finished my shift register in minecraft.
It has 8-bit parallel input, 16-bit parallel output, and an 8-bit unary input determining the amount of bits to be shifted.
I originally planned on making my calculator 16-bit, but since this shift register will become 4.13 times as big when supporting 16 bit operations, I think I'm gonna have to pass.
It uses 240 relays right now. If I'm making it 16-bit, it will have close to 1,000. LOL.

Nice.

Don't worry, you'd probably learn about Gaussian elimination when you get to matricies in maths!
 
While SO3 + H2O will indeed give you H2SO4 (Sulphic acid)
SO2 will not oxidize into SO3 under Room temp/pressure

Doesn't it do that in the higher levels of the atmosphere? I don't remember the names of the atmosphere levels in order anymore. Learned it a few years ago.

Real life equivalent :

Well, it's not a real shift register, it's a modified version.

What I needed is a component that converts an 8-bit number into a 16-bit number, adding a configurable amount of zeroes in front.

Let's say I want to add three zeroes to the number 1001 1011 then the returned number of the component should be: 0000 0100 1101 1000.


My solution was to put an 8 bit shift register in series with a 9 bit one, in series with a 10 bit, and so on up to 16 bit.
Right now I'm thinking of smaller and quicker methods. I have some ideas.

 

[Tilpo]

Don't worry, you'd probably learn about Gaussian elimination when you get to matricies in maths!

Though actually what your'e doing here is related to independence and dependence of vectors, which is not covered in the IB HL syllabus.

@tilpo, tru dat. gg + JJBA = too epic for this world. Also I would hazard Full OP for JJBA is going to be one fo the top 10 for 2012, but then it's going against Full OP of Jormungand: PO, R;N and more importantly against Jintai's. Truly a fierce fight for the top spot.

I remember when the site dealextreme just opened, they sold LOOOOTSS OF RANDOM CRAP I DIDN'T NEED.
 
So naturally, me and my mates got together and chucked up an order of $500 or so, and once everything arrived, we realised why so much of the stuff was so cheap. 

 
We got some sweet green laser pointers though, but I can't help but feel I'm partly responsible for getting the things banned in Australia. I even got arrested too!
 
By the way, we were real careful about that stuff, and made sure there were no planes and what not nearby (we were pointing at stars), that 'report' was full of schiit, so naturally, I got off with no charges of course.
 
I remember going to school the following week, and the Vice Principal said to me, "mate, someone has already beaten you to the Red Baron". 

 
I watched DtB and Pandora Hearts, I really liked DtB.
 
Pandora hearts was meh compared to the manga (which is still kinda meh). I've been meaning to watch Kuroblablabla, I keep putting it off because the MC isn't a loli, but a shota!
