Originally posted by silvermember I walk to work, it's only a quarter mile or so. I don't drink anymore. Jeans and T shirts are classic. No need to update, just replenish. When games cost more than computers no one will play them. That's just crazy. I cook, it's very inexpensive. I hope you enjoy the game. It should be a good one.

You can wait after the game releases and see if you find a better offer. If the game is so good, it ain't going to dissapear anytime soon. |

Doesn't matter how much it costs if it isn't any fun. I'm not saying whether it is or isn't because that really depends on the gamer. However, if you spend money to preorder without testing/trying it out first and you end up not liking it, that's a decent chunch of cash to waste on something you'll never get anything out of. If you've tried it and you know you'll like it I understand the preorder but I'm sorry I'd rather wait until launch to see what everyone really thinks about it first. At least that gas time will provide some use.

Originally posted by MindTrigger oh, we eat well enough. my wife is korean, so she demands a varied dinner. so, we'll often have rice, soup, and plenty of different side dishes. doesn't cost much, which surprises me how she does it. which is good. before we got married i ate a lot of noodles. poor girl married a husband with a lot of debt, so we keep our finances separate so she gets to save an awful lot, and i get to just swim around the top of the drainpipe. |

I too agree the price of petrol is getting ridiculous, and I feel is being spuriously inflated beyond the normal rules of supply and demand. That said though, I spend a good amount of my time working for the benefit of people who don't undertand these issues as most of them don't have a pot to piss in, and usually have just the clothes on their back and sometimes whatever they can carry. To see people in the first world complain that the cost of living is too high, or how much life sucks, when to a large percentage of the planet they live in opulent splendor, is a bit hard for me to take seriously. Not trying to be a judgemental dick, just saying take a moment to sit back and reflect just how much worse off you could be, and then see if life in the "three squares a day, climate controlled, expensive yet way better than walking travel, protected (somewhat) by the rule of law, enough free time to enjoy frivolous nonsense, world" is really all that bad. /SOAPBOX FUNCTION OFF

Originally posted by Tardcore Honestly, it was a matter of a cosmical roll of the dice. Got lucky. Wish that I could support some starving folks and end the hunger but its beyond my ability. I am proud to say; however, that I donated a bull to a family in need. :) |

Originally posted by MindTrigger When they take out the stuff that should be in the game (Including fair play) and add a cash shop and RMT not really. Compared to free to play games that have a cash shop and do this, you're being ripped off to the tune of $60. |

You cant. So what you've said here is entirely bogus. Getting ripped off is paying 60 bucks, taking it home, and then the next month you have to pay an additional $15, again and again. Or with some games, they let you pay around $200 bucks for a lifetime sub. Some of these also have cash shops.
Oh but GW2 is ripping people off for charging $60 for their game. Tell me another joke. Your last one was hilarious. |

Here you get 1 1/2 GW2 for a tank of gas... But gas cost about $2L here (yeah, not gallon). And as good as all games cost about $75 including GW2. Suddenly I remember why I sold my car last year... |

And hey you can only do as best you can. Props for helping someone out by donating the bull. It may not be a smooth ride, but it will certainly save them money on petrol.

For where a is the first term of the series, and r is the common ratio. We can derive this formula as follows: The formula follows by multiplying through by a. As n goes to infinity, the absolute value of r must be less than one for the series to converge. The sum then becomes When a = 1, this simplifies to: the left-hand side being a geometric series with common ratio r. We can derive this formula: The general formula follows if we multiply through by a. This formula is only valid for convergent series (i.e., when the magnitude of r is less than one). For example, the sum is undefined when r = 10, even though the formula gives s = −1/9. This reasoning is also valid, with the same restrictions, for the complex case. [edit]Proof of convergenceWe can prove that the geometric series converges using the sum formula for a geometric progression: Since (1 + r + r2 + ... + rn)(1−r) = 1−rn+1 and rn+1 → 0 for | r | < 1, the limit is [edit]Applications[edit]Repeating decimals
Main article: Repeating decimal
A repeating decimal can be thought of as a geometric series whose common ratio is a power of 1/10. For example: The formula for the sum of a geometric series can be used to convert the decimal to a fraction: The formula works not only for a single repeating figure, but also for a repeating group of figures. For example: Note that every series of repeating consecutive decimals can be conveniently simplified with the following:

Originally posted by orsonstfu i always tell people: don't get into debt. and, having said that, when the bank goes "want some more credit?" i always say, "hmm, yeah, well, okay." my wife is threatening to take all my money and cards off me and give me pocket money only. some days, i think that would be the smartest thing i could do. edit: but then i'm afraid she'll find out how much i actually owe. :P |
