FataMorgana Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 want and answer for integral or differential? - they are different from what I know:p well, Fundamental theory calculus is linked to Newton and Leibniz, but supposingly the indian Bhaskara was the first to conceive of differential calculus.
d'Arthez Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Newton and Leibniz But who of the two? They did not collaborate on this. As for the differential calculus it is closely related to the integral calculus, both in its meaning and functions.
FataMorgana Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 whoops forgot the next question.... Who is known as the "father of history"?
slubberdegullion Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Who is known as the "father of history"? Herodotus How long is a male gorilla's erect penis?
Yamaha Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Who is known as the "father of history"? Herodotus- the first to record the past. He wrote of the Persian invasion of Greece. Who is the father of the computer?
d'Arthez Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Turing. Who is the often forgotten developer of dialectical materialism in the nineteenth century (European answers only )? Bonus question: What was his profession?
FataMorgana Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 How long is a male gorilla's erect penis? 3cm ?!?!! having sex on your mind already? For me it's already Friday so it's ok:p while on this subject... how many calories in a teaspoon of semen?
d'Arthez Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 how many calories in a teaspoon of semen? Easy: E= MC^2. So we only have to figure out what the mass is of the semen on the teaspoon. And convert the Joules back to calories .
FataMorgana Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Turing. Who is the often forgotten developer of dialectical materialism in the nineteenth century (European answers only )? Bonus question: What was his profession? Plekhanov must be perservere with socialism today, I think I prefer sexual subjects...
noclobber Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Plekhanov must be perservere with socialism today, I think I prefer sexual subjects... why does "Apple Computer" have a logo of an apple with a bite taken off?
d'Arthez Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I was actually referring to Dietzgen. Plekhanov was familiar with the works of Marx and Engels. Dietzgen was not and developed his theory independently from Marx. Only to find out that Marx and Engels had discovered the same thing, a bit earlier than Dietzgen himself. Perhaps I should have said "inventor" but I find it hard to apply that to philosophical theories.
FataMorgana Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 3cm ?!?!! how many calories in a teaspoon of semen? seems that there are 5 calories in a teaspoon of semen (but who is counting under the circumstances?)
Yamaha Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Who is the often forgotten developer of dialectical materialism in the nineteenth century (European answers only )? Bonus question: What was his profession? I'm going to guess Georg Hegel?? Profession: I think a journalist?
FataMorgana Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I was actually referring to Dietzgen. Perhaps I should have said "inventor" but I find it hard to apply that to philosophical theories. ..and he was a tanner by profession...
FataMorgana Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 why does "Apple Computer" have a logo of an apple with a bite taken off? "Byte into an Apple"... seems like this was not the original logo. the first one was Isaac Newton under an apple tree. very interesting. what "invasion" happened on 4th November 1956 in Europe?
d'Arthez Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Was that not the invasion of Hungary by Russian troops? Edit to add the question: In what year was the Cape Colony founded?

quankanne Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 hmmm ... I'd have thought something along the lines that a computer system that was so simply operated was tempting to try (like eve tempted adam with the apple). Edit: to quankanne - I have no clue. Sorry, we must have answered at the same time. I'll give it one more shot before I spill the beans: in the original "Blues Brothers" movie, there's a sequence with Ray Charles, a music store owner, jamming with the guys as they try out instruments. As they play, there are people outside the place, dancing to the song Ray's singing. What's the name of the song? Bonus point question: who was singer who played the owner of a cafe who broke into the number "(You Better) Think" when her man told her that he was leaving to play with the band again?
