Damn Classes are full before I can even sign up for them!

for my grad classes in SEAS, they let everyone in. so those signup numbers mean nothing. they still might let you in. plus they want you out of there too, they might give you priority over someone who is taking it, but not about to graduate.

Calling all Civ Engs...How feasible would it be to build a trans-oceanic bridge?

WHAT?!? How can you just post random numbers like that just to make your point correct. You cant possibly need $6m for one week of wages/maintanence/admin. If you are going to make numbers up, at least make it somewhat reasonable. What if you are making your stuff in a sweat shop?

How do you convert clone image files back to program files

you can use a program like Daemon-Tools or Alcohol to mount those images on a virtual drive so it seems like the CD itself is there. Its good when you want to play a game but you dont want to leave the CD in your drive. Or you can use Winiso to explore the image files, almost like its a zip file.

math problem

it is not a^(a^2) and a^(a^3) etc... the exponent does not change, the base number is changing and with each operation it is being taken to the same power, which is a. your notation suggests that the operation is a^(a^(a^a))), but the operation is ((a^a)^a)^a thats incorrect

math problem

umm thats not correct, (a^a)^a = a^(a*a) and not a^(a+a) i.e. 3^3^3 = 19683 = 3^9 where as 3^(2*3)=729 the order of operation is what your calculus book says

math problem

correct me if im wrong but that is not correct. when the ^1/a cancels out the last ^a, then you no longer have y unless you make the assumption that a=1 which is why you have the final answer being a=1. so you got your answer because you already set a=1 assuming y=a^a^a y^(1/a) = (a^a^a)^1/a =...
