[Ansar]

No. It's viruses. For the love of God, don't say "virii". Don't be a pseudo-intelligent person who declenses things in a Latin manner to appear learned.

You mean don't be CartesianFart, right?

How likely is it for somebody to fail an ADD test? Is it even possible? I think my brother has ADD but my parents got him tested for it and the doctors said he didn't. A year later though, he's still showing all the symptoms strongly.

I got a question.

Person A creates a fictional map for an online organization. He then leaves the administration of the organization to Person B. Person B then registers the copyright of the map in his name. Is this copyright legal, or does the copyright remain in the hands of Person A?

All of this occurs within the United States.

I thought when you fail an ADD Test that meant you HAD ADD... idk... I hate semantics.

But I'm sure its possible to be improperly tested... he may have ADD, but last I knew, ADD wasn't as common as everyone said... just easy ways for doctors to make money and take advantage of people

and if he DOES have ADD, it may have worsened in the last year, but I assure you, I am in no way an ADD expert... just knowledge I accumulate from what I hear

I think Person B can't copyright something in his own name, but rather it must be for the organization that owns the work in question. So if I make a fictional map for Google, the map is owned by Google, not me.

Are there any functions besides f(x)=e^x where f'(x) = f(x)?

 

[holy king]

funny function is funny.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

No. It's viruses. For the love of God, don't say "virii". Don't be a pseudo-intelligent person who declenses things in a Latin manner to appear learned.

Is that because it comes from Greek? I am confused.

 

[Rossiya]

No, it is Latin.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Are there any functions besides f(x)=e^x where f'(x) = f(x)?

f(x) = 0

 

[Globex]

f(x) = 0

Is that the only other one?

Can someone help me understand this comic?

 

[Taras Bulba]

Can someone help me understand this comic?

perhaps this way of visualizing conic sections might help you understand

 

[Phlegmak]

That's easy. It's a crappy comic, so you don't need to waste your time understanding it. It's just simply bad so there's nothing to understand.

 

[Globex]

I still don't get it.

Maybe you're right about that.

Why does Globex always have to ask ridiculous questions?

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Because he is a math god. All hail to the math God

 

[dutchfire]

f(x) = a * e^x for all a, those are the only solutions. (with a=0 giving SS18 ICBM's answer).


As to your other question, take n = 1/x, then lim x->0 means lim n -> infinity

 

[Kennigit]

Do you think it is possible, given some time, to train yourself to flip a coin as heads or tails consistently? Not being able to call what you flip by somehow feeling it (post flip), etc, etc, but to actually flip it in such a way (pre-flip) that it will come up as heads.

And the flip should be a "real" flip, not just turning a pathetic flip that turns it over once or twice.
