<p>Maybe one could form an equation for average response-safety time? Based on factors such as time between postings (relaxation time? tau? :D) and timeframe within which one is allowed to edit and typing speed and other such amusing things.</p>
<p>Right, I am losing it.</p>
<p>Oh and yes, I’m currently engrossed in watching DS9, Boston Legal, Numb3rs, Idol and Heroes… Oh and yes, also doing a Board Examination where everybody around’s expecting me to top. Terrible, terrible…</p>
<p>I’ll get off my soapbox now.</p>
<p>Ya…earlier when v were in 11th…v used to amuse at the look of the book and thought that ‘‘How on earth r v gonna solve those ridiculously crazy problems’’…
And now it is…Sheesh…cant v get a better problem…</p>
<p>Shrivats – Numb3rs! Heroes! Both awesome, awesome shows, I heartily approve. 
(I am not going to reveal exactly how fannish I am re. Mohinder Suresh; it’s just sort of embarassing. Although I am very pleased that there is an interesting Indian main character who isn’t a stereotype.)</p>
<p>Ah yes, I’ll do it: </p>
<p>Tau = (e^2 x L)/t</p>
<p>e -> eccentricity 
L -> Latin used (and referenced)
t -> In place to ensure one writes tau properly.</p>
<p>Oh and I’m currently in the midst of an obsession with the Greek Alphabet. Keep writing it down everywhere. </p>
<p>I guess that’s when you know you’ve learnt too much physics.</p>
<p>I suggest T: television factor. (Hey, it seems to be the current thing.)</p>
<p>The Greek alphabet is fun, although I can never write a good zeta.</p>
<p>I can’t write psi. 
Just can’t get a symmetrical downward ). :D</p>
<p>I love my beta though. Very flowing. :)</p>
<p>Di! Ecce hora! Uxor mea me necabit! </p>
<p>(Substitute conscience for wife, and you’ve got something)</p>
<p>Adieu all, see you in a bit. :D</p>
<p>Heroes and Prison Break FTW. Lost sucks now. House MD is as good as ever.</p>
<p>I lov the eta…the one in Viscosity…
And the best equation(Except E=mc2) is the Schrodinger Wave Equation…</p>
<p>Nah, best equation ever is Euler’s. e to the i(pi) is minus one, who can deny the Awesome of that? (I’m more of a math girl than a physics girl, although I love physics very dearly.)</p>
<p>Will throw in a bit of love for Taylor & Maclaurin series (serieses? Nah, sounds awful.) while I’m at it.</p>
<p>Why is it that I always miss out on these crazy conversations? :D</p>
<p>Now of course the only thing left is for an adcom to come by this thread and discover how very intelligent all of us are ;)</p>
<p>I’ll never forgive you for also using that in your box; some things go too far :)</p>
<p>Sadly, I haven’t seen Heroes or Prison Break. I never got around to them. I’ve been too pre-occupied with House, Desperate Housewives, BSG and Scrubs. :p</p>
<p>Oh yeah, Lost too. :D</p>
<p>All this is the TV I don’t watch on TV. I’ll update you with the stuff I watch on TV later, thats a long list. :)</p>
<p>PS: House is the best show ever.</p>
<p>Chicago is freezing…right now</p>
<p>But math deserves to be everywhere! Even my box! :p</p>
<p>@ dda: You’re visiting colleges aren’t you? How’s it going so far?</p>
<p>I do not watch TV. Someone kill me.</p>
<p>I’m feeling distinctly ungeeky and unnerdy and undereducated (I don’t know all that much Latin and I’m not obsessed with Greek) and generally out of place.</p>
<p>bas007: I’d be highly obliged to you if you didn’t post more than twice in a row. It’s not fun trawling through so many posts.</p>
<p>I’m listening to The Dresden Dolls, instead of TV. Specifically, “Christopher Lydon” by The Dresden Dolls, which is a song all about obsessive unrequited love for a celebrity. Woo emo music!</p>
<p>its going good, i recently visited u of chicago…nice campus very academic atmosphere…there are a few nerds here and you guys will totally dig the university! </p>
<p>going up to UW-Madison today…its around 8AM, wednesday morning here so lets see how tht goes…im not visiting u of illinois as previously mentioned because i got rejected </p>
<p>and btw prison break and heroes are quite good, i also like numb3rs…the math dudes here,can u guys tell me the therories they explain in the show? actually true and practicable? </p>
<p>also wht internet connections are you guys on…just out of curiosity </p>
<p>crap this is my 3rd edit @laskhya - did you make it into UIUC computer science?</p>
<p>Yes, I did infact make it. :)</p>
<p>I use a 1Mbps broadband connection. :D</p>
