Thanks for the info/opinion. Do appreciate it...

Is a company's database schema it's intellectual property? Thanks.

<t>Some keywords you might want to try:water waves, jets, groundwater flows, cavitation, ....For water waves try the excellent book by CC Mei ..... I think/believe most of the above tend to be ideal fluid flows consequently the PDE tends to be linear while the BCs tend to be nonlinear.......IAnother...

<t>Can't pinpoint it anymore, but in the last month or so I believe AT Kearney had report out on the matter. If I recall correctly, the news release based on that report mentioned that Wall St. is expected to lose around 500,000 jobs over the next 2-3 years to Russia, India & China. Hmmm....does...

And, please don't mention the word "metrics", I'm still allergic to it......

<t>This shit drives me nuts.It drove me nuts too - useless meetings, fancy powerpoints always with "what needs to be done", "where we are" ...blah blah blah BLAH!! And, the useless reports!! Massive rehash jobs (pluck from here & pluck from there). But then after a while my natural defenses step...

<t>The sample covariance, s_xy = (1/[N-1]) * sum_{i=1,N} (x_i - m_x)*(y_i - m_y)If x & y are normally distributed then the sample correlation is a ML estimator and given by r = s_xy / (s_x * s_y)where all the above statistics are sample statistics. m_x & m_y the sample mean. As it stands the...

Yeah, regarding the colors "hurting" the eyes, I agree. Blue is a much "colder" color than the previous one. Too much "white" here......

What is distribution of the underlying data? Isn't the choice & distribution of the estimators dependent on the nature of the underlying data? Curious ....

<t>What I have outlined above is the content of a book the realization of whose plan and the incorporation of whose details would perhaps be impossible; what I have written is a second or third draft of a preliminary version of this book - Michael Spivak, A Comprehensive Introduction to Differential...

And, coming soon?WMD - Weapons of Mass Delusion

"You are such a boy-scout, Jack...........you don't happen to have one of these, 'Get out-of-jail for free,' do you?"A Washington veteran to Jack "Boy-Scout" Ryan, as he waves a presidential(?) order for covert operations. Movie - "Clear and Present Danger."

<t>kr, I'm not sure the reason for your accusations. I am beginning to suspect whether it was my use of the words "associationally constrained" and the fact that it followed your post? If so, please rest assured that there are no negative connotations implied in my use of the word "constrained." The...

<t>Not guilty as charged. No consipiracies here. Just happened to come across a few of these yesterday..... so thought I'd toss them out. I've always enjoyed reading these when posed by others, and am only sharing the one's I've come across. Felt some might enjoy them without having to hunt them dow...
