But that's a good thing! Here in eastern Oregon/western Idaho there really need some exposure to the rest of the world

pssst.. What's a Floating Point Integer?

. . . they all are derived from a formation designed from manipulating and folding in most of the phalanges in my right hand at the metacarporealphalageal joint, simultaneously leaving the phalanges aligned linearly with the metacarpals in the second finger.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

You almost sound like my math professor at the university. He once tried to convince a course of the beauty of calculating with the duodecimalsystem or the hexadecimalsystem. Half of the course fell asleep (literally!) after an hour... He has a passion for math I never could understand, for me it was just a course I have to pass on my way to my engineering degree.

Hell, I actually believe you forgot what they were, how to use them, and how to help me now that your a big contractor and all.

Floating - what happens to me when I fall out of an airplane

integer - I'll show you one (rather two since i'm in the uk) next time I come over.

There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

Yes, I do have a passion for math that very few seem to have. But passion for the subject isn't enough, you also need to convey that passion to your students in a way that they can get it. It doesn't happen often enough, but that's what makes me a teacher, I guess.

Well, unless I work my tail off with teaching extra classes, I don't make a whole lot, but I love the work.

I just had this random thought wander through my mind----I have a job that pays ok unless I want to do fun expensive things and, of course, what do I like to do? Photography and skydiving Waaaaay fun, but damn expensive. Oh, well, at least I can work extra to pay for my habits!

The fun things that are hard work are worth working hard to make happen. We appreciate them that much more.

I see that in the kids around here, they [mostly] get things handed to them on a plate but don't seem to appeciate or respect their stuff
