EF-5 is pretty nasty stuff. Pretty rare. IIRC, sustained winds of >200MPH, pulls up pavement, no standing structures of pretty much any sort survive.

Today's the 10th anniversary of the tornado that went through Ft. Worth. Could see the clouds from the office at the time.

College Math

Math Department Math

1000 + 1000 = 2000

100 minutes > 60 minutes, sorry, we'll have to continue this next week.

Accounting Department Math

$1000 = $725 after taxes.

Accounting Department Honors Program Math

$1000 = $1275 after taxes.

Economics Department Math

1000 + 1000 = 1650, adjusting for diminishing marginal utility, but assume 2000.

Graduate Math Department Math

Induced subgraphs of a graph all have simple vertices if and only if the graph is a sun-free chordal graph, because each property holds if and only if the maximal cliques of the graph form a totally balanced hypergraph. Screw numbers.

The tornado that hit High Point Sunday night had estimated internal winds that barely put it into a category EF-3. Those produce damage that is generally destructive. EF-4 and EF-5 are more in the castastrophic range--whatever they hit gets gone..

One f-5 is way too much, but my hometown had two at once. [X(]

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: sprior

I Loved "Elite", apart from matching rotation with that space station.

I had it on Commodore 64... played it for hours and hours... [:D]

At the beginning when you had no money (and no docking computer) you had to manually dock on station... it was pure joy to rotate and match the station rotation and then enter it... [:)]

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: Apollo11

As a side note... anyone here playing "EVE Online"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Online

No answers... thus it is most likely that nobody here played it... I heard it is Elite-sque and I loved Elite 20+ years ago... my first truly "drug" game...



Leo "Apollo11"

I've certainly heard of it. What I heard is that the older, established players gang up on the noobs, making it virtually unplayable. But I never had the interest to find out.
