| Easy. Volume's 4/3 (pi)*R^3. That'd be 268.08 cubic inches. Surface area is 4(pi)R^2, which ends up being about 201.06 square inches. Integration is useful. The problem is that I think I'm off in my formulas because I forget whether surface area is the antiderivative of circumference or not cause the formula comes out looking like the area formula. However each polygon generally has a coefficient for 2-dimensional space (for a square it's 1, for a triangle 1/2, for a sphere I think it's 4....), I just can't remember if that one's right for sphere. Also, surface area is a form of 2D area, just stretched over a sphere........... (continues babbling) But yeah, that's my answer. (edited by Grey on 06-22-04 08:23 PM) |

| Ugh, cones...... Alright, Volume of a cone is 1/3 Pi*(R^2)(H). I'll assume it's a right circular cone, so to find the actual height we use the pythagorean theorum: 100 = 36+x, X = 64, so the height is 8. So we have 1/3*3.14(since apparently I can't use the more precise version of pi and instead have to use KirbyATW's definition of 3.14) *36*8. The end result is 376.99 Cubic inches. Surface area, as always, pisses me off. The formula, as I learned it, is (pi)(R)(R+(R^2+H^2)^.5). that comes out to 301.44 square inches. A simpler form of the same formula would be (pi)(R)(R+slant height), which gives the same basic answer. Now keep in mind this is using pi = 3.14 not pi = area of a circle divided by its circumference, since Kirby ATW got the point for doing it with that number.

Originally posted by EvillerLegion There was also the economic difficulty of the world's first (if I'm correct, which I might not be) experience with inflation and deflation of currency, the resulting imbalance, which relates to the over-cultivation point, left Rome without proper funds to sustain her empire. Also I'd like to retract my earlier statement of American troops being spread across the world being a testament to how victorious we've been, it might have been better worded as, our troops being spread across the world just shows how much we're attempting to influence the world through our military prowess. It's pretty easy to get a politician to sign a bill with a gun to his head, just ask the SS. |

Originally posted by Trunxy/Dogan The Naruto Manga, what they've subbed here thus far, is much farther along than the series is, and if/when Naruto gets licensed, it'll probably be what I'll turn to so that I won't have to wait five years for the episodes to catch up to where they've subbed it at now, much like One Piece, which recently got licensed, and by 4Kids, no less (dammit....). Of course, were you to read the manga before watching the show, you wouldn't get the pleasure of seeing the great animation and cool attacks in action. |

| Ah, the days when Eggman was Dr. Robotnik. Why'd they change the name, is what I want to know... That one was the one based off of Sonic The Hedgehog 2, it was released around the same time as the game in order to boost the game's popularity. However, the game was good enough so that it didn't need the cartoon. Plus the darker Sonic anime (if it was anime at all, I was too young to remember) was cooler. I wish they'd bring it back instead of the Sonic 2 one that Disney somehow has in its claws. The chicken's name was Scratch, the bluish green thing's name was Grounder. I have no clue why I remember that. |

| Myself I don't take much truck with DC++, I like BT. But I do have a question regarding downloads as well. When using BitTorrent, does anyone else get a strange shake effect on their episodes? It seems like every fifth or sixth frame in each second of animation is out of place, and the result is a distracting shaking effect that gets very annoying. It's the equivalent of watching a movie on really crappy VHS, the picture feels out of place constantly and can't stay still. If anyone knows what causes this, I'll be quite grateful. |

Originally posted by neotransotaku I get my torrents off of Animesuki, which usually links to scarywater.net. My computer's not OLD per se, in fact I got it last January (January 2003), and it still stands up pretty well when compared to modern models, it's only a little below the line. I'm thinking it's a corrupted codec or something wrong with my player. I use Windows Media Player 9 usually, though sometimes I use quicktime, BSplayer, or Irfan. |

Originally posted by EvillerLegion Whoa whoa, I'm not saying the SS are bad people now... If you'll recall Hitler purged his forces of the SS and their associates in order to further his efforts at ruling Germany. The SS was just a loyalist device used by Hitler to GAIN control of Germany, not to actually control it. If anything they were betrayed by Hitler and deserve to be lauded as heroes for opposing him. My remark about the SS was intended to show that political control of a country can be gained through force, as the SS did with Germany. They weren't Semite-murdering Nazis, just members of the party who did what Hitler told them to. You're absolutely right about people judging others based on their past, it shouldn't happen. I was just trying to use an example from history to show why our occupation of Iraq might lead to full US military control someday, though the SS were allied with Hitler they were also killed by him, and rightfully the members fled to change their ways because of Hitler's betrayal. |

| Since the line goes up 18 units and over 9 to the right, the slope is 18/9, or 2. Following this through from -5,-13 we can see that the line passes through the Y axis at 0,-3, making that the Y intercept. In slope-intercept form, that makes the formula Y = 2x - 3.

| It's ok Jesper, I remember back when I still had AOHell, it was painful. No siree, none of that fancy-schmanzty "decent internet connection" stuff for me, my parents said it was too expensive. Now here I am with Broadband, and it's costing us less than 56K did. Shows how much they know. |

| It's always the companies whom you think are dead that produce the best results. Take Working Designs for example, having not technically produced a game in a year and a half suddenly they come out with the Arc the Lad games. Or Westwood, bought out by EA, but Still producing Generals, which is a fine game in and of itself. It's no RA2, but it's good. Myself I can't wait for THQ to die. And if Valve still exists, then so will Half-Life, you forget that Sierra's a publisher, not usually a developer. That said, I think I'll go find a King's Quest game or two myself. But I've never played Red Baron... |

| Come on, he's in every single game, someone's gotta have something to say about at least one of his incarnations. I thought the FF7 one was admirable, aside from the VIII Cid he seemed the most realistic, the most human. | |||

| I doubt it's my HD, it's only 7200 RPM but I never had problems with it before. Maybe graphics card, a GeForce4 MX420's pretty old nowadays. I'll take your advice though, thanks. EDIT: It worked! I guess it really was a bad codec after all, thanks a lot! (edited by Grey on 06-23-04 11:34 AM) |

| Shit.... tough one, primarily cause I don't have a height anywhere here. Also, you're saying area, but the thing is these are three dimensional objects and those don't really have an area, they have a surface area. My guess is that you're throwing a curve ball, especially since there's no height or slant height to work with on the cones. But if you're talking surface area, I'll do that. Surface area of a sphere is 4(pi)R^2. Divide that by two, and subtract piR^2 because the bases are missing, and you get 12.556. Multiply that by 45 and you get 565.48 square whatever the units are. Cylinders are 2(pi)R^2, or 25.13 units squared. That, times 15, is 376.99 units squared. Cones are tough... I'm stumped on that one. Best I can do is just plain old (pi)R^2, cause you didn't give me a cone height. In that case, it'd be 12.566 units^2 again, but you'd multiply that one by 5 and get 62.83 total units^2. All of those added together make 1005.301 units^2. I can't think of any other way to do it. |
