The second part I haven't taken any algebra so I don't know about rings and such. If you have any Diablo 2 cd-keys, may I pretty please borrow them from you? I only have the LoD cd-key from a friend, and I believe his Diablo 2 cd-key is banned. Much appreciated. I never played Diablo 2 lol KeSPA or Blizzard? Whichever one gives me Proleague. Girls or Boys? Girls Virgin? Yup. Even more fun fact: I've never dated either ;p Favorite animal? Fox Favorite color? Midnight Blue Favorite soft drink? Milkis Favorite alcoholic beverage below 15%? Favorite alcoholic beverage >15%? I don't drink alcohol it tastes bad okay Most star deserving poster? I'm probably not the one who could properly judge who gets the star or not but I kinda feel undeserving when I got the star before csheep cause he translated longer Most annoying TL forum category? General Windows, mac or linux? I like windows 7. I also use linux on my laptop though since i feel as if it's easier to manage projects Drugs? Nope. Not interested in either, although I do read up a lot of stories about people's trips to see if I can learn anything from it since it is "unusual" after all. Why do you bother spending your time translating stuff for TL and trying to convince blizzard fanboys that gretech and blizz do not actually shit unicorns and fart rainbows? From the first post: "Eventually that led to me translating because I do think the foreign fans deserve the same amount of news and information as the Koreans. There was a lot of news that weren't covered, and there was a lot of fun things, so I decided to look for those and translated." I'm not really trying to convince unless people have facts really wrong or something. But then again, my facts could be really wrong considering how much inside shit goes on esports media :| Are you into any freaky shit? Like, sexually. Nope. Milkis how much would it cost to construct a large box capable of housing many (five) thousands of pounds of used DVDs? (random enough for you? lol.) Out of what material? What restrictions? if your name was milk is _____ what would you finish it with? milk is white milk is smooth milk is creamy milk is _____????? good? where do you get your drink on in korea usually convenience stores, but I normally don't drink Milkis in Korea (assuming you're referring to Milkis duh) do you find yakult tasty ofc What's your opinion on the current federal tax system. In particular, the personal income tax bracket structure, the future of the capital gains tax, and estate tax? Maybe if they used the money well I wouldn't mind the tax system so much (because then, you wouldn't need to tweak it so often and complain about the deficit). Ideologically I'm not a huge fan of how the federal income tax or the capital gains tax works right now, but that's all I can really speak of because I don't have any practical alternatives that will work in the current political system and within the deficit we have now. I don't know enough about the economic effects of estate tax to properly answer that portion. Basically call it a cop out answer because I haven't done enough reading regarding them since most of what I read relates to more micro/game theory related stuff | ||

favorite song at the moment? Genki Rockets - Star Line On September 04 2010 12:17 mieda wrote: Nope, I mean as it is. The first problem is China TST 2010, the second follows from some simple computations! Ah, okay. Let me give a sketch of how I would approach it then. 1) WTS: Given any x_i and a_{i-1}, I can choose a_i such that x_i = |a_i - a_{i-1}| I think this is trivial? Just show given -1 < a_{i-1} < 1, you can choose a_i so you can make 0 < |a_i - a_{i-1}| < 1. That should be straight forward. 2) Since I started with a given a_{i-1}, I can choose a_0 to be whatever I want, so I just have to pick it to be - (a_n) after following that sequence I think there's one more thing to prove here since it doesnt really feel logically tight (ie I think I also need to prove that I can hit every sequence with a_0 + a_n = 0) but T_T second part i have no idea like i said and i don't wanna look up definitions atm why are you so angry There was a time where I wasn't angry. Then I moderated/contributed to Smogon for a long time and I got really angry at the stupidity in userbase/administration so it built up over time I guess. My rather hostile tone also comes from posting there a lot. But that could just be an excuse ^^; What is your favorite dance? The dance that roffles did not do yet >  But uh, I don't remember being impressed by a lot of the dances by kpop groups and that's the only ones I remember atm. If i had to pick ridiculous maybe Yoo Seung Joon dancing or something loooool What's better? Fakesteve or Realsteve? I dont know who realsteve is so I cannot answer that question. | ||

3 handed vs 2 winnings regs, the villain in question is the tighter one, sometimes buys for just half a buyin and seems a bit scared money but not sure Effective stacks 4k Villain (otb) opens 60 sb folds BB (me) raise 200 with K5hh Villain calls Flop K A 4r I check villain checks Turn K A 4c 5c I check, villain bets 200, I raise 750, villain calls River K A 4c 5c Ac I check, villain bets 850, I raise all in like 2200 more, villain... Do you like my bluff? My image is very loose pre with 3bets although not that much in this session, and a bit tricky postflop, I've trapped oop a couple times on the sess | ||

First of all, we're only given x_i's and we're suppose to produce a_i's in [-1,1] satisfying the two conditions mentioned. Second, even we interpret the problem as you have done, there are tons of examples of x_i and a_i's such that you can never rearrange a_i. For example, you're saying it's trivial to just choose a_n = -a_0, but then x_{n+1} can be such that x_{n+1} is *not* |a_n - a_0|. Oh I saw the other sentence. Anyway, I'm just trolling!! ^^ The post is from http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=364148 | ||

so you never actually cared about brood war until qibing dragged you on to TL?? O_O I remember visiting Korea and watching games on tv occasionally on 2008 but I never really got into it until Qibing pretty much dragged me in SC :BW around late 2009. that's when I started watching, and joined TL around march i think? I may have made an account earlier but didnt' use the account until march or so This is from a semi deep 10 20 hand 3 handed vs 2 winnings regs, the villain in question is the tighter one, sometimes buys for just half a buyin and seems a bit scared money but not sure Effective stacks 4k Villain (otb) opens 60 sb folds BB (me) raise 200 with K5hh Villain calls Flop K A 4r I check villain checks Turn K A 4c 5c I check, villain bets 200, I raise 750, villain calls River K A 4c 5c Ac I check, villain bets 850, I raise all in like 2200 more, villain...

How are you? Just dandy :3, but a bit bored. Black Beans, scrambled egg and cottage cheese is delicious and filling. Agree/Disagree? Never tried. I'll try it sometime though. Did you smile today ? and why one of the things about me is that I'm always smiling, even when I'm supposedly "angry" on IRC. If I was to put a mirror in space, and look at it through a telescope on earth would I see the past? Please provide a mathematical proof with your answer. Errrr, I'm probably not qualified to properly answer but my intuition is It takes X time for light from the Earth to reach the mirror (ie, so by the time the image reaches the mirror, you'll see Present - X if you're in front of the Mirror) It takes X time for your telescope to reach the image of the Mirror, so by that time, there'll be Present - X + X, so you'll see the present? That sounds wrong but uh I think that's the best I can do for now. Quirky question though ^^; ragnarok online? what server and what class :D ya what ragnarok server were you playing? i was just playing lumina ro its pretty good Currently playing on veeeRO. Not a huge fan of the server but I already have an ice pick so I don't really want to leave yet. I've played at Essence, Eternity, and Destina though. Playing a WS and a HP | ||

Do you watch anime or read manga? :3 Last anime I watched... I think I dropped Durarara, which I only watched cause it was made by the makers of Baccano. I haven't watched anything since. For manga I follow One Piece and Yotsuba& Why would it take time for my telescope to "reach the mirror" My telescope is just observing incoming light. If X was the time it took for light to get from earth to the mirror I think I would be seeing the past x2 because then the light from the mirror would have to travel back to earth. Oh, right | ||
