Easy Chinese

Every time you improve at mathematics, Chinese will become easier.
Did I mention I don't mean Chinese as a language?

Notes and Photos for July 30th 2007

Every time you become good at math, you will find Chinese become easier.
And... I don't mean Chinese as a language...
another inside joke for all the non-Asian guys to share...

It's so hot, I'm producing a huge amount of heat shock protein to prevent my other proteins to be denatured.

You weight less if you stand on the equator.

My working space, the LG speaker's sound is amazing, everything else is CRAP.

In China, mathematics are colorful. Like a rainbow...maybe it's too colorful.(look closely you will find the equations are in different colors..)

The Loox 600

Few days ago, I have finally got a Loox 600 Running Happily
When I got my Loox 600, the OS was Traditional Chinese PPC 2003(P22452-P929-V427). The newest English PPC 2003 version is P22452-P929-V452, it has a great SD card reading speed and 40% boost in it's speed.
The flash updater updates the machine to the newest English PPC does not work because it does not know what OS it is in my Loox. so I have to use any older updater, which is also been called as the Universal updater by some people, since anyone can edit the ImageInfo.dat file and force flash updater to upgrade(or downgrade) Loox.

add the following line to the imageinfo.dat

ROM_NAME Model="Pocket LOOX 600";
ImgVer="7"; BLVer="the number fit your boot loader"; Lang="Doesn't matter";

for example, what I have to use is first downgrade it to the P22452-P929-V402l, a very unstable version of the English PPC 2003

P22452-P929-V402l Model="Pocket LOOX 600";
ImgVer="7"; BLVer="1.00.18c"; Lang="English";

After downgraded, the newest flash updater can understand my OS and successfully upgraded.

All the updater and stuff can be found on filesaveas's loox page

Some screenshots of the PPC... I took one everyday for 3 days

A mathematical look into study = fail

in

I don't know who is the first person to start this NOT mathematically sound joke:

Study = no fail
no study = fail
study + no study = fail + no fail
study (1+no) = fail (1+no)
study = fail

The joke is a fail!
First at sight, wow, what a amazing proof. But really, not so...
"no" could be -1
and there is a lot evidence support no is -1
yes correspond to true, which in turn can be expressed by 1
no is the negation of yes. so it's likely be -1

if it's -1, the result is NOT true, because (no+1) = 0
if ab = ac, b=c only if a does not equal to 0
division by zero... that's fail!

What does this mean? study and fail have no relationship? nope, this means study = -fail. so, actually, the real answer for the study = fail proof should be.
|study| = |fail|
so if I absolutely study, I will absolutely fail.
Here is the new proof if you like to show off to your friends.

study = no fail
no study = fail

if no does not equal to -1.

study + no study = fail + no fail
study (1+no) = fail (1+no)
study = fail

if no does equal -1
study = -1*fail
study = -fail

thus
|study| = |fail|

A special case, no = 0. Which makes study = fail and -fail. in that case, study = 0, study=nothing. and thing can be any number, like the definition of "thing" in english. That's Zen.
btw... if no equals everything but 1 or -1, study = fail = 0... I just make that special case so it sounds nice...
read the comment to see how I arrive that.

Some other note. It is ok to divide by zero in some sets. For example, the real projective line. But still, study = fail can't be observed. Since a/0 = unsigned infinity in real projective line.

2 weeks in China

Too little post after I'm in China. xD. so here is all the things I can write about in those times.

My schedules:
6:20-6:40- Wake up
6:20-6:40- Turn on the computer...
6:40-7:20- Morning everyday things
7:20-Noon- On computer. Occasionally, go to the dentist, make food
Noon-14:00-Working on computer
14:00-14:30-Go to classes(mathematics and others)
on mon,wed and fri, go out of class and eat out at 18:40
else, go out of class at 17:00 and eat at home

Then, on computer... or go out...

Things have to record:
I GOT A PSP! no, I don't own it, but I can play it...
I GOT A LOOX 600, and I do own it. Not many people in US can get this stuff.
I wonder what if one day we found chemistry elements group in amazingly large prime numbers...
"how do you know where I am?"
"I saw the wind going by, so I took the integral and find where you are, also which bus I have to take to get to here."

The mathematic teacher is amazing, he knows his stuff! Listen to his class I feel like watching movies!
and it's a porno movie!
with twin blonds!
nope...I over hyperbolized...I just can't resist not to...
he make the mathematic so fun to watch...
for example.
"There are 9 ways to solve those very complex looking functions." said the teacher while he is showing us 10 fingers...

Transformers totally sucks... like all movies I thought was good. Maybe because the higher a person get, the more it hurts to fall...

Chemistry is the hardest thing I have ever learned. I should put it in 12th grade.

In china, I go around in chat rooms and ask to get owned in LF2. usually, I use my famous line.
"For the people who have balls, please, please let me die once in LF2."
but, seems like either no one have the balls.
or when the people with balls heard this, they cut their balls due to fear...

I will post some photos soon
