Don't forget to upper deck all the toilets. It's the little things that count.

Instead of working on my thesis I've been trying to come up with a clever name for the code that I've been writing but I've got nothing. I'm hoping 409 can save the day. It needs some reference to the word kinetics or transient. I can't use anything that is blatantly inappropriate although inuendos are encouraged. Standard choices in the nuclear industry are acronyms based on names of prescription drugs but I haven't gotten anything to work. A possible list of keywords include:
Kinetics Equations
Transient Analysis
Time Dependent
Delayed Neutrons
Neutron (or Radiation) Transport
Slice Balance Approach
Characteristics Approach (or Method)
Multigroup
anything to do with Radiation or Reactors
If you can come up with anything close I might be able to tweak it.

optimization project due tomorrow. i pretty much promised the professor that i'd cure cancer...too ambitious? actually i think i pretty much cured cancer already but i don't want to write about it because i think i'd rather keep it to myself

maybe instead of writing a paper about your cancer cure you should write a paper about how to monetize it.

Ok so I've grown out of the whole "writing a paper" phase of my life--amen!--so I'm modding this thread to "Teh not Xing a Y thread".
x = not hump; y = lamp. Go:
So occassionally I get these headaches where I find it difficult to focus so I do simple tasks--sometimes it's something as simple as reciting the alphabet or calculating products--to help refocus. A few weeks ago I was at my hotel with one of these episodes so I decided to write down the cubes of numbers. I still had the headache so I decided to take the difference of each consecutive number ((x+1) - x). I didn't get very far until it was taking me time to calculate the difference so I decided to take the difference of these differences. That's when I discovered a pattern. These new differences were all multiples of 6. I found it strange so I tried it with the power of 5 and the same property held.
z = ((x+1)^n - x^n) - ((y+1)^n - y^n);
z%6 = 0 if x > y > 0 n is odd n >1.
I wrote an c# app tonight to verify this but I hit max long too quickly to find any interesting results. Is there some obvious reason why this holds true? I'm not even certain if it holds for anything larger than 5 mostly because I don't feel like calculating it. More importantly though this property probably has about the same value as not not humping a lamp but I still find it intruiging enough to write this post. Any thoughts?

So I realized I was raising the differences to the exponent before taking the difference again which is why I was hitting max so quickly. Haha anyways it seems to be holding true for x and y between 1-30 and n < 13. Bizarre. Either way I think 6 is my new favorite number.

I am going to guess that Steven cracks this pretty quickly
