jasignhagj Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well yeah, theres a difference between 11 cm and 11.0 cm.I only really began to appreciate sig figs in university... in high school and college/cegep they make your life a living hell (unnecessarily, like you said).I understand that, but it would make a lot more sense to just use logic instead of having to write on unnecessary zeros.

Nomrombom Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Since when is there a difference between 11 and 11.0? They're both the same as 11.000000000000000000 etc., no? PM me for fitocracy invite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastortoise Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not the number itself, the measurement (don't forget the cm). Writing 11 cm implies you can only be precise to the centimeter, whereas writing 11.0 cm implies you were precise to the millimeter. Its dumb but it makes sense when you're reading scientific papers - sig figs help everyone be on the same page in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I don't want to describe just how awful this song is, but it's being played on every local commercial radio station I listen to and it's currently #2 on the UK Singles Charts. I'm told it went down pretty well in Canada last year. How people can stand listening to this trash, let alone buy it download a pirated copy of it, is beyond me. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like any other song that most people like. Generic stuff. I've heard a lot of more horrible music. I'd rather hear that song than listen to any metal-core stuff, ugh! But it would be more interesting to hear her voice naturally than computerized. ----- I'm annoyed on myself. I wonder why i watch Sunday Supplement on Sky every Sunday morning. 1: It seems to be the same type of topics every time, and the same teams every time. Yes, Chelsea is a bigger team than Norwich, but why not talk about how well Norwich is doing for once?2: They seem to hate Italian football and Capello. 3: According to them, no one can make a controlled tackle. And tackling should basically be abolished, it seems. 4: They talked about Ronaldo being apparently being unhappy the last time, and if he comes available on the market for 40-50m £ and not "silly money" they pondered whether Man U would re-buy him or not. 50m quid is not silly money? *facepalm* J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Warrior Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The less said about metal-core, the better. Actually, after I posted that, I looked at the whole of the top 40 for this week and... good god. I actually quite like pop, I'm not one of these hipsters who thinks that rock is "real music", but I think I only liked about four or five songs on the whole list. On the football, all I can say is this: Welcome to the Sky Sports/talkSPORT era, and welcome to 24/7 rolling sports news. The fact they have to get glorified page 3 models to read the news just to keep the attention of a predominently male audience is telling me even they know it's a painful exercise scraping meat off the bone. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estonian dude Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 ACTA. And the way our [bleep]ing politicians treat it like it doesn't matter. The Prime Minister has made a complete and total fool out of himself in the shadow of this... So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends. RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.I strike out every other week.Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.Randox pretty much stays rational.Etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randox Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I actually really like the song Alone Again. But then, I'm Canadian :-P The song Over by Drake, is the worst thing I have ever heard in my life. I hate everything about it. The intro is soul crushing and his voice would slay the undead. Every single thing about the song rubs me the wrong way, and I can no longer bear to hear it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lTB1pIg1y0&ob=av2e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star. Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I need to talk to an admin about you guys posting these atrocious songs. Get some bannage for destroying my ears. People seem to walk into my room when a kissing/nudity scene is playing. That's hard to explain to parents who think every American/British show is dirty. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randox Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I don't mind Gimmie what you got. Frexxx is tolorable. Dance is just terrible. I won't argue that any of them are quality music, but the first one in particular does seem to appeal to me on some level. And while we're on the topic, I hate people walking in an inappropriate or misleading times during a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
