    Victorian bushfires

    Holy shit. It's basically doubled since I checked it last. :( Wow: http://media.monstersandcritics.com/galleries/1591689/0162799655085.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/02/09/article-1138607-035A8F46000005DC-852_468x402.jpg

    Regarding long division for rational algebraic expressions

    Yes. In fact this is the main time you should use synthetic division - linear factors (i.e. of form ax+b). For division by quadratic and higher it's wiser to use long division. Yes.

    Cambridge - excellent, difficult Patel (the text, not study guide) - excellent, all difficulty levels, great explanations Those are the only two you need really bother with. I'd buy Patel first.

    Solving cubic with a value other than one

    Actually, that's false. We're near the top of the OECD for maths education.

    Quick Mathematics Question

    This is actually equivalent to the question "does scalar multiplication hold over the complex field?" and the answer is of course yes.

    Russia 'goes to war' with Georgia

    I'm actually anti-Russia as much as I am anti-America, and as pro-Russia as I am pro-America. Read my posts and you'll notice that. I like both countries and wish them prosperity.

    Russia 'goes to war' with Georgia

    Your grasp of economics is child-like at best.

    Russia 'goes to war' with Georgia

    Potentially true if it were any country other than America that collapsed. But even, say, Australia is extremely important in the global economy - we produce much of the world's coal and uranium (the two main energy sources of the world), plus a host of other minerals and goods. All moot once...

    Russia 'goes to war' with Georgia

    What fact am I missing? The collapse of any global power: Australia, China, Canada, America, Italy, Germany, Russia, India, Japan, etc, would cause huge problems for every country (some directly, others because it's a web). The collapse of America would be ten times worse. Things would recover...

    Does God exist?

    Thanks for your help, PwarYuex. I really appreciated the bit with the vitriol and swearing. Just FYI, this is what you were interjecting about:

    Russia 'goes to war' with Georgia

    Um, actually, he's right (remember PPP isn't used for economic strength comparisons, nominal is). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_between_U.S._states_and_countries_nominal_GDP

    Russia 'goes to war' with Georgia

    Definitely. America's economy is such an important link it'd take down pretty much every country.

    Does God exist?

    Yeah but this chick is saying that the Bible is scientific, logical, and factually correct, so I don't see why you're agreeing with her.

    Does God exist?

    GE 2:15-23, 3:1-5, 1TI 2:14 Eve was created after Adam had already been given the prohibition about eating the forbidden fruit. Eve believed the serpent (the craftiest of all of God's wild creatures) when he assured her that she would become wise and would not die if she ate the fruit. Eve has...

    Ah, so you quote the verses you like and ignore the rest?

    Gaming PC!

    I'd recommend an Asus EEE. The other computers you mention can't really handle games like Crysis (let alone Crysis 2).

    Does God exist?

    Maybe not. But in a page or two, this will be forgotten, and there will be another one jabbering about the scientific miracles of their holy book. :( A holy book is an admirable legal and social guideline for a society that is at least 1,000 years dead. If you're going to be religious, at least...

    Does God exist?

    I especially liked this one: Deuteronomy 25:5-9: A man has an obligation to produce a child with his brother's widow. If he refuses, his sister-in-law is to spit in his face in front of the elders.
