<0> blacktiger1: That's the solution, if you want more explanation, join #math
<1> but if you do that, keep it legit. That server is in my basement and I don't like jail
<2> man i did more than that!
<3> haha
<2> i got:
<3> what about disclaimers ?
<4> it's ok. the kinky strapon *** blog is only illegal in Texas, and I don't think you live there. :P
<2> a^4+5b^5+c^3+d^5=5138
<0> blacktiger1: wow, is your algebra that bad !!
<0> blacktiger1: 6442-1304-5138
<0> blacktiger1: 6442-1304 = 5138
<0> now, i'm done with this, join #math if you want more help
<2> ya! i said i did uptil here
<2> i want further help!
<4> blacktiger1: find an online math book. :)
<2> ok thanks
<0> what an ***!
<4> lol
<3> lol
<3> Saying that is a sin
<4> what do you expect from someone who goes on irc to ask 6th grade math?
<0> how the hell can you get direct values from ONE equation with four variables. Even the Hindu can't do that!
<5> I'm not too sure if that can be solved with what he gave ... yea, like Cognition said :)
<6> !seen lupitah
<0> Even the none linux questions are stupid sometimes !!
<4> heh. 4 vars = 4 eqs. :)
<7> I'm trying hard to set up openvpn.. BUT when I try to create the certificates (openssl ca -out client01.crt -in client01.csr) I get:
<7> failed to update database
<7> TXT_DB error number 2
<7> anyone have some idea why?
<4> I need to learn more math... my linear algebra is shakey at best.
<7> var/log/messages says nothing about this..
<0> randyg: why do you have to mention it, i have advanced linear exam tommorow :(
<0> thanks a lot!
<4> lol
<4> I once was at a seminar, where the professor used some relatively non-complex-looking linear algebra to fit a function with something like 16 unknowns to a measured set of a few million data points with least-squares...
<0> least squares for a best fit line?
<0> that's usually not a linear system!
<4> someone here sent me some linear algebra books... need to read them someday.
<4> no, finding the unknowns for the function to minimize the least-squares error for the measured data points.
<4> the function with 16 unknowns or whatever it had. heh.
<0> oh ok
<0> well, in that case it is pretty simple
<0> usually, once you know how to do anything in a 3x3, you can do it with any size
<0> it's just the concept that you have to absorb
<0> i think Linear Algebra was one of the easier math cl***es compared to differential equations or calculus, although both are still relatively easy
<4> I should have taken more math... they were trying to throw me out for having a few gazillion units, so I took the combined diffeq/linear algebra cl*** instead of the real ones... completely worthless.
<0> randyg: you can teach yourself with ease
<4> heh, among all the other things I need to do. :(
<8> anyone knows of a site i could get ktrace from?
<8> and yeah i've googled
<8> you wont believe the crap i came up with
<0> as long as you have a good algebraic foundation, and a clean grasp of some fundamental mathematical concepts, you can pretty much do anything without an instructor. Except maybe for proofs I and II, as those two cl***es are very advanced
<4> I'm not a proof-type person... if it works most of the time, it's good enough. :)
<0> yeah, me neither
<0> i don't care to prove anything, let'em handle that part :)
<0> i'm a big hearted guy, i believe'em
<4> I'm more into the end goal than proving the theory behind it...
<9> hey, in my CPU status, this is running 20%. I want to stop it, how do i. otp_src_R9C-2
<0> randyg: well then, you should be able to brushup on your math skills with ease
<4> Cognition: heh, it's been a long time since I've done any math... will take a lot of brushing up.
<0> randyg: well, unless you're going to debate Stephen Hawkings, you'll be allright :)
<8> anyone..?
<0> randyg: i don't think it would take much to get back in shape, math is not that demanding'
<4> heh. I haven't decided if he's incredibly smart and completely correct, incredibly smart but has no clue what he's talking about, or incredibly smart at beind a conman.
<4> s/beind/being
<0> huh? who are we talking about?
<4> hawkings
<0> oh, i think he's incredibly smart and partially correct
<0> once you dig into quantum mechanics, it's just **** flying everywhere
<4> or he just is smart enough at inventing stuff that can't be tested, that no one can prove him wrong. :)
<0> i borrowed a book from my professor last semester, an introduction on String Theory
<0> i read 30 pages and i closed the SOB
<4> lol
<0> relativity would be like kids stuff compared to it
<0> so, if it's that complex, i wouldn't dare make an opinion about it or him
<0> oh well, he's not a string theorist per se anyway
<4> I'm more into observational science... when someone invents a microscope to show pictures of strings making up an electron, then I'll believe it actually has some evidence behind it. heh. (and, yes, I do know enough to know that nothing conventionally termed a microscope, using any known technology, can do that)
<0> randyg: well then you shouldn't believe in the entire branch of quantum mechanics
<0> or the theory behind electromagnetism
<4> who said I did? heh
<4> science often proves whatever was believed the year before to be wrong...
<4> how do we know that a hundred years from now, there won't be people on IRC making fun of us for thinking particles existed, and there were these quacks who talked about strings...
<0> that's true, and often is the beauty of science, evolving constantly. However, Quantum Mechanics proved itself to a very large extent
<0> without it, we won't have many of the technologies we enjoy today, including the computer in front of you
<4> that's why science is good, and religion is evil. science leaves itself open to the possibility of being updated.
<0> randyg: hey, you're talking to a hardcore atheist here :) you won't get a no out of me.
<0> anyway, off to linear algebra, i gotta review for this god damn test.
<0> LOL god damn <--> atheist
<4> lol
<0> reminds me of the phrase, "There is no god damn god god damn it"
<4> it's like bandaids... it's been accepted into the language. :)
<0> yup
<0> ok, i'm off to those Eigen values
<0> later
<4> cyas
<10> later
<10> im getting a celeron 3.3, 1gig of ddr2, pciexpress gecube grafix all for around 500 au
<10> then installing kubuntu onto it
<11> what's the best distro these days?
<12> all best :)
<10> im thinking it'd be ubuntu
<11> that's also free
<10> similar to mandrake
<10> but better
<10> im downloading kubuntu
<11> ubuntu or kubuntu :/
<10> ubuntu used gnome graphics
<10> kubuntu uses kde graphics
<10> i mean desktop package
<10> im four percent of the way there
<10> and ill be getting my new machine next wednesday
<11> i always thought debian was the way to go
<10> yeah it was
<10> but that was before ubuntu
<11> yeah?
<5> I'm glad I never went this gentoo way! First time ever attempting an install and it just won't get past emerge --sync step
<10> ive had problems installing redhat in the past
<5> my slack download will be finished in 20 mins and if gentoo doesn't get anywhere I'll install that instead!
<10> just wouldnt install
<11> yeah so have i, redhat 5.5 lol
<11> that was a nightmare :/
<10> kubuntu will be my first real use of linux
<10> im excited because i have a few programs that are cross platform
<5> never had a problem with installing a distro until now. Don't like this emerge thing. Much rather download an iso and use that
<13> hello
<11> Boredboy, which slack, feb release?
<10> and im hoping to run windows aswell using vmware inside of kubuntu
<13> any body can help me please regarding installing linux kernel?
<11> ask
<13> thnks
<13> i hvae to install Installing Linux Kernel-2.4.18
<5> shyheim: naah, 10.2 which I think was sometime last sept
<13> no sorry...its -2.6.15.1
<13> on FC5
<10> oh be fair
<10> im excited because i have a few programs that are cross platform
<10> cubase sx is cross platform... so ill be looking forwards to making some music in linux
<5> ***uming your sound works :P
<10> exactly
<10> ill have to go searching for drivers etc
<5> heh, if you are very unlucky, compiling a kernel etc
<5> had to do that with my laptop
<5> infact, I ended up rebuilding my kernel a few times for different things (sound, video, wifi ...)
<10> how do you install a driver in linux?
<11> drivers will be in your kernel most of the time
<11> its your duty to recompile it and activate them
<5> errmmm..., how about you leave that question until you are comfortable with linux
<10> i do believe i am becomming a fan of linux, as its downloading
<10> ah the linux experience
