A great website for learning Japanese is http://www.thejapanesepage.com. I've been learning Japanese for a while, and I know it to a basic level. Firstly, can everyone see this on their PC/mac?: 光る風の中夢の羽根舞い折るよ。 (Kudos if you get the reference) If not, you need to install Japanese on your computer.

#184 sounds like f-zero, but I'm not sure which game.
-
That's definitely true with celery, I suppose because it's so crunchy... Personally I dislike gherkins, but I might acquire a liking for them if I eat enough.
-
I don't actually download BBC stuff; I was just pointing out the flaw in Asheley's argument. Anyoway, who's seen the preview for ep 24 of otome?... disturbing stuff.
-
That's not really the same idea; this thread is about monumentous images. Plus your exclusion of anime automatically makes the thread invalid.

Flatterland is a tribute to flatland, but its more complicated and much more physics based, despite being written by a mathematician. You might find some of it a bit simple though; e.g. it has a whole chapter explaining i and how you can use it to make mandelbrots. It's also childish, although I think that's fairly tounge-in-cheek.

I wouldn't be suprised if he did; I easily understood the theory of dimensions at that age. And yes, it doesn't make sense to a 3D brain, but being able to understand it is realises this and working from there.

No, the bbc only advertise themselves; they're not taking any fee from advertisers.

It depends how you define sport; if you have to exert yourself then darts etc. isn't sport, whereas football is. However, the line is unclear; you still need good hand eye coordination and arm muscles (to a degree) to be good at darts, so you might as well call it a sport. It gets even more complex when you include examples like chess.

That's a common misconception; time is a fourth dimension, not the fourth dimension. And KingJoe, have you ever tried painting a hypersphere?- you end up trapped in a sphere of paint. (Not that that's relevant, just interesting). Good books to read on dimensions are Flatland, by Edwin Abbot Abbot, and Flatterland, by Ian Stewart.
-
So it should then, in theory, be legal to download bbc programmes? And by the way, dabookerman, am I right in thinking that you're both a ninja and a pirate at the same time?
-
Well the net of a hypercube looks like this: Now you have to fold it up into the 4th dimension so that each outer face touches the others.
-
I think the moral ground for importing stuff is also pretty dubious, as you're not supposed to be able to play region 1 DVDs. It's safest not to watch any anime at all...
-
They should make a bob to go with this one.
-
I don't think anything will neccessarily stop; as long as there is a market for them then new ideas will evolve. (This doesn't just go for gaming).
-
I thought the point of using the force was so that you don't actually have to touch peoples necks...
-
I have a 20gb Creative Zen Touch, which is definitely better than an ipod. And this thread should be in Tech talk.

Don't you realise that differences in a few genes can have huge effects- just because their parents and siblings don't have different skeletons doesn't mean that they won't. Look at something like Down's syndrome; it's perfectly possible for normal parents to have several children, only one of which has the syndrome. They are therefore not "mentally disadvantaged"; they have physical abnormalities.
-
To be honest, all I ever ate was normal ice cream.
-
No, I can read katakana.
-
It is Japanese... I can't really make sense of what they say, and the quality is too bad to properly read the katakana menus. The bottom one on the list is "item" though.

I always get my coursework done early, but it doesn't stop me hating it. I wish that everything depended on the exam; coursework doesn't teach you anything (except for my GCSE electronics, which taught me how to bullshit). Anyway, luckily my choice of A-levels (biology, chemistry, double maths) has minimised my amount of coursework; I've worked out that for both AS and A2 I only have to do a total of 3 pieces- 2 chemistry and 1 maths. I have to do 2 of those three in this half of term though...
-
Yes... I am so pleased (although I already knew this). It means she's not just gonna appear in the last ep. And also, ep 21 looks like it will be good.
-
That really didn't spoil it. And for the record, I've put my spoiler in tags now.
-
I felt that spoiler tags were not needed for a series that finished a while ago.
