I read in some websites that spywares are annoying and “static” while viruses tend to disseminate and “dynamic” in your PC.

I have never been too interested in what goes on around me. I don't watch news much and I am almost always the last person to hear about anything important. When I heard about Rudy Guiliani running for president, I got this sick feeling in my stomach. To think that lying little b*st*rd could possibly have a chance to rule our beautiful country really worries me. Anyone know what the chances are of him actually becoming president?

and hate for men, wouldn't it benefit the movement if they would just admit to hating men, at least they could get a minimum of respect that way.

I would also buy preety much every car in the world and all of the petrol and then sell all of the petrol for like 1p a liter.

I recently got this question in a coursework:

Find the maximum value of f(x) = 4x^2 - x^4 + 4.
For what value(s) of x does this occur.
That was the full question, it didn't state any desired method to use.

So I got: dy/dx = 8x - 4x^3

worked out that when dy/dx = 0, x=0 or +/- sqrt(2)

then I got: d^2y/dx^2 = 8 - 12x^2

so when x = 0, d^2y/dx^2 = +8, ie a minimum.

when x = +/-sqrt(2), d^2y/dx^2 = -16, ie maximum.

so I put x = +/- sqrt(2) back into the original equation to get 8.

My final answer was the maximum is 8, and this occurs when x = +/- sqrt(2).

But I only got 2 out of 4 marks. He/she (I'm not sure who marked it) put a note next to my second derivative saying that I have to evaluate them. I don't know what this means, I have evaluated the answer and surely I don't have to evaluate f(0) if I know it's a minimum.

What are your thoughts?

Really, how long should you hang on to the follow?

Pay Stubs
Bank Statements
Credit Card Statements
E*Trade Statements
Receipts

I have ALL of my pay stubs dating back to 1998, I have probably 1.5 years back in bank statements, I think I have 1 yr + in credit card statements, all of my E*Trade statements, & tons & tons of receipts for tax purposes

Is all of this really necessary? Isn't there a limit of how many years/months you should hold onto this stuff?

Now that he finally asked me out I am not sure whether I want to or not.

...but is best listened to as an 'album' and not just as singles?

I'm going with Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska". When I listen to this album it's like looking at an old photo album full of black and white pictures. Each one tells an individual story, yet in a way, seems interrelated to the others.

You know, it is really something to have a politician literally make you like him. At first, I was for Mitt Romney. Then I became an Obama fan. I still do like Obama, but Huckabee has an honesty about him that is real. It is hard to pretend like Hillary, for it takes too much energy. Huckabee is not really trying to win. He spent next to nothing in Iowa because he is allowing who he is to speak for himself. I am not faulting him for one mistake he made while governor. What about the thousands made by the other candidates? I can see him leading the PACK in a few months if not weeks.
