Good question, RR! :) I'm going to oversimplify for the sake of illustration. What I've heard is this: Imagine the city of Bogus Nameus, Oklahoma. Bogus Nameus has a population of 20,000 and two elementary schools, fifty stoplights, and a city hall with two receptionists. After...

If you're interested, Wikipedia has an interesting page on overpopulation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpopulation Off-point, but also interesting: population and growth also have some very interesting implications in urban economics. Did you know, for example, that the larger the...

What about resources? Think about a golf course. You might have enough room on the golf course to fill it up with thousands of people, but you really only have enough room for a few people to play a golf game. If thousands of people were playing golf at once on the course, people would be...

You and I are probably alike! I can really work the public scene and have more friends than I know what to do with. At the same time, however, I really value my personal connections. It's the people close to me who make me happy.

When dealing with selling or buying property, do you skip the realtor and go For Sale By Owner, saving thousands of dollars? Who else here is into that besides me?

ROFL, off-topic, but I LOVE your avatar! And I agree, Netrox's post was right on.

LOL. Do you turn up the heat in your room to 80 in the winter too? My friends think I'm nuts, but sixty is like hell frozen over!

I imagine Heath would want to read this.

No kidding, it's HOT. Good thing I love the heat. All my friends are melting like the Wicked Witch of the West, but I'm feeling comfortable. I miss snow, though. Yes, I'm crazy. :D

What proportion of climatologists does this dissenting group represent?

Hey man, good luck! We at AD are rooting for you. If you wanna talk math sometime, PM me. We can crack math jokes like "Don't drink and derive" and everyone can think we're weird psychos. Well, we are, but that doesn't change anything!

That's the point. Division by zero can have some huge implications. Not too long ago the USS Yorktown shut down dead in the water because of a division by zero. Dividing by zero, you can prove that 1 = 2 = 92421.2 = the wavelength in nanometers of the light reflecting from your palm...

Another pressing question: since when is throwing the accused into water to see if she floats a reliable method of validating beliefs and practices?

You just remind me of someone I know. He is a very bright, sharp deaf guy, quite a lot like you. He aimlessly floated around college for seven years, dropped out, got an interview with a Fortune 500 company and now makes over a hundred thousand dollars a year doing computer programming. His...

Hmm. Good question. If I weren't ASL fluent (and I am ASL fluent) and I was offered a job, I'd turn it down. Teachers who don't know ASL are actually a prevalent phenomenon and the problems with that are plenty. When I was younger, we caught on to the adult figures who couldn't sign...

Awesome concidence! :dance2:

Interesting! And a good post! I'm not surprised about Florida. Where I usually am, we're overloaded with RE agents. The one big thing is that when you have an oversaturated market, it means that a lot of people are likely not doing things efficiently (economically, the average value of...

Do you mean you want to become a realtor who helps people buy and sell houses? You won't need to major in RE or go to college for it. In most states a few bucks and a test will be enough to get you a license. If you do become a realtor, you probably also want to get legal to sell...

They don't care because the sub-prime lending market is VERY profitable. You can make some really good money charging people outrageous interest rates. The problem with a bankruptcy is not only being able to borrow money, it's also the cost of borrowing money. That cost goes through the...

Everything, dude. Everything. Except maybe Cued. I wish I learned that.
