There would have to be a hard-rock café at the end of the universe. Right?

I thought I will chip in a few of my opinions. I sort of agree to this, but hey I also feel very lazy after a dull Sunday morning followed by brunch. If weed were legal, it will probably cost lesser than what cigarettes cost these days. And you don't need to worry about nutrition, because...

Split the fraction like this Then use Heaviside partial fractions to split the second term like this I think A=-0.25, B=-0.25, C=0.25, D=-0.25 Now use the standard Inverse Laplace transforms and the derivative property to solve it. Here is a web-tool to convert latex equations to images...

Very good point. But axioms in general are not chosen arbitrarily. They are chosen after considerable deliberations. In religious debates, people debate as to why they chose their "axiom" of choice. But unfortunately, unlike in mathematics, the debaters don't reach a consensus. But at least it...

Are you for real?! Did you forget to include the <sarcasm> tags?

I have more problems with religion than the concept of god itself. From what we know, the concept of god and religion came in to being when people couldn't explain things that surrounded them. Things like day and night, lightning, seasons, etc. I also happened to watch a documentary which...

Really nice BLD results. Though I thought the competition will be much closer. Why did you skip, Mike?

No. But I am sure a little more digging will yield more results. And 8-10 is good enough for me :)

Ah, Ok. There are quite a few convincing examples. You must also be very well aware of the classic Archaeopteryx which is considered as one of the prominent "missing links" between dinosaurs and birds. Here is another example I found after a quick search...

@Lofty: The probability of fossilization, especially that of the very early life-forms is very low. And the probability of them being found is even lower. For example, when Darwin proposed the theory of evolution, one of the strongest arguments he faced was the absence of fossils from the...

I don't live around there but see if someone at Stanford has a RepRap.

Well people would have if the bible had a theory of its own describing gravity. But I guess people back then just didn't care much about why bird droppings always falls down on your head.

Answer = sqrt(2) Not a very elegant one, but still a solution. Highlight for solution: angle(CAB)=angle(BEC)=45°. So points A,B,C and E lie on a circle with AC as the diameter. Thus DB is also a diameter of the circle. Since C and E are on the circle with DB as diameter...

And Jimmy Coll too. Really neat video. Good job!

Hope not all Birthday wishes come true. Anyway, Happy Birthday!
