I'd really like to know :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 11:41 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: wikis And also, IMO, to help people realize they should question established thought patterns. I found it interesting that you teach math to children yet you don't get enough math until pretty well into university that you can understand how it actually works. Mostly though I found the story problems fun, like when you have to build an equation that will give you the point in space at any given point in time where an ant is if he is walking towards the center of a 78 RPM record at x inches per hour that is in a box that is tumbling at some fixed interval falling off the edge of the grand canyon. Completely worthless in terms useful info but a great mental exercise type problem. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Cornetet Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 10:05 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: wikis They like it because it shows that division by zero can bite you without being obvious. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 4:41 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: wikis I've seen that stunt a few times.
