I need to play more Morrowind...*goes from the living room to his Fortress of Solitude to get it* *puts it in the Xbox sitting right next to his lap-top* *sigh* Good Times...Good Times...

I can tell... *laughs*

Don't laugh at me.  :'(

:-\

 

I wasn't...

 

I was just chuckling at how everyone here seems to know so much about all this stuff that I have no clue about....

 

Really.  :-*

Okay!  :-*

Unfortunately, I have no means of educating myself, as I'd have no idea where on earth to start.  :D

You have the internet...start there.  ;)

Oh, that's such a broad topic...

 

Teacher, can you make an assignment of some sort?

 

I'm such a timid little thing, you know...  :P

To start learning, just go to "Wikipedia". It's as simple as that and I don't need to say anything else.

Ooooh, worthy assignment, teacher.

Now shoo, shoo! Get on with your assignment! Shoo!

But it's so fun to spam.

Do both, young one.

*tries*

 

I am trying!

There you go, you're doing it!

First thing that came up (I understood only every other word):

 

Back-stripping is a geophysical analysis technique used on sedimentary rock sequences - it is used to isolate factors which contribute to basin formation/filling other than sediment loading. It is a method by which successive layers of basin fill sediment are "stripped off" the total stratigraphy during analysis of that basin's history. In a typical scenario, a sedimentary basin deepens away from a marginal flexure, and the accompanying isochronous strata typically thicken basinward. By isolating the isochronous packages one-by-one, these can be "peeled off" or backstripped - and the lower bounding surface rotated upward to a datum. By successively backstripping isochrons, the basin's deepening history can be plotted in reverse, leading to clues as to its tectonic or isostatic origin. A more complete analysis uses decompaction of the remaining sequence following each stage of the back-stripping. This takes into account the amount of compaction caused by the loading of the later layers and allows a better estimation of the depositional thickness of the remaining layers and the variation of water depth with time.

Wow..cool.

Yes, if you sit and think about what you're reading...  ::)

 

Next random article:

In mathematics, parametric equations are a method of defining a curve using parameters. A simple kinematical example is when one uses a time parameter to determine the position, velocity, and other information about a body in motion.

 

Abstractly, a relation is given in the form of an equation, and it is shown also to be the image of functions from items such as Rn. It is therefore somewhat more accurately defined as a parametric representation. It is part of regular parametric representation.

 

Example:

For example, the simplest equation for a parabola,

 

    y = x^2\,

 

can be parametrized by using a free parameter t, and setting

 

    x = t\,

    y = t^2\,

 

Ooooh, this is fun..

Math sucks...

Indeed...

I like algebra, though...the simple kind...

 

Capitites is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae

I hate any kind of math... :P

Hey... you were supposed to be learning about Morrowind. As Blibby's minion I deem that you fail!

I tried played Morrowind a minute ago and decided to play Eternal Sonata instead.  :-\

You need Morrowind for the PC... You can cheat. :P

Cheating is for losers, I'd rather earn it.
