1 + 1 = 0?

Let's investigate these equations:

1 + 1:
= 1 + sqrt (1)
= 1 + sqrt [(-1)(-1)]
= 1 + sqrt (-1) x sqrt (-1)
= 1 + i x i
= 1 + (-1)
= 1 - 1
= 0

From this demonstration, it would appear that 1+1=0.
Right?
Right!

...right?

Well, we know it's wrong. Let's find the mistake. 1+1 obviously equals 1 + sqrt (1), so no problem yet. The next is also correct, seeing as (-1)(-1) equals 1. Here is the mistake, however:

When imgaining what sqrt(-1) could be, we come to the conclusion of terming it 'i' (for imaginary) in replacement of a better term or solution. Therefore, 1 + sqrt[(-1)(-1)] DOES NOT facilitate i^2 because no longer do we use the variable i since the expression can be SIMPLIFIED. Instead, we simplify (-1)(-1) and get 1, not i^2. Becuase simplifying the expression (-1)(-1) yields the product of 1 instead of -1, we continue to solve 1 + 1 = 1 + 1, getting the result: 2 = 2, the solution. Problem solved.

The mistake lies here:

= 1 + sqrt (-1) x sqrt (-1)

We don't need to separate the sqrt because the parenthases can be solved first (as provided by the order of operations.)

Did you understand why it is wrong? Hope you did! Post your thoughts in a comment.

P.S. do you want me to do more maths posts like this one? I could do one about 2+2=5...

LOL

One Flaw With Gmail Labs and Themes

For the past six months, I have had a vista Laptop. Before i had this, i had to use the houses windows 1998. SUCKISH! However, Labs and themes would not work on this computer, and it does not work (from my observationon older computers, as well as older MACS. If i could take a picture of the windows 98' version, i would. Please disscuss this matter

Please answer the poll.

Aside of Facebook and YouTube, GMail seems to be the next growing thing. Although it is only in BETA version, it still offers many special features reffered to as "Labs." These are frequently updated by the GMail Team, and are free for you to fully use. Here are some screenshots of the GMail service:


This is the toolbar in the top-right.
Here is the settings page from the toolbar.

This is the list of folders-- as you can see, there is a large variety of different places to file these emails.

Aside of GMail chat, you can also go 'invisible' to turn the green dot next to your name from green to gray. This makes it seem as if you are not online.

A view from the "Compose Mail" option.

As you can see, I get emails when someone posts on the blog!


A general view of the top of the inbox.

Again, answer the poll on the right, and if people seem to want more information, then I will post links to the help center and more screenshots.
Thanks!

Remember to comment if you have any questions and to answer the poll.

Unexpected!

I didn't think that it would work! Yesterday I was playing around with the XML/HTML code of the blog, and I actually managed to add a second sidebar to the blog! Now the blog won't be so long anymore! Most of the tips that I found online happened to be schaliblech, so I figured it out on my own.

I also have a test blog in which I test out new templates that I design. I am now attempting to figure out how to remove all sidebars, so I will post the blog's url if anyone wants to see.

My vista is similar to Jan's

As you can see here, the dell dock is open even when the cursor is not on it, and is fixed.





However, when another application is open, such as word, the dock disappears until the mouse rolls over the upper area.





Docks & Birthdays


Answering Piano Guy's Question, the mac dock is much more expansive, and features a wider range of programs. Heres the windows dock. (I made the Background. LOL). As you can see, the windows dock is settled and doesent move, only lights up when you move your mouse over seleted things.
(This is Vista)
In other news, My birthday is the 21st. I might go to new york or Miami. I already know what im getting for my birthday, becuase my sister told me. LOL.
