Re: Dragonfire11 pinch-hitting for the Dawg
Fiduciary agents = lawyers.
Hee hee. Now... how many of you trust us lawyers? Huh? C'mon ... put 'em up... show us what you got... <turning to The Panther> Hey Engineer-boy! You wanna piece of this? Put 'em up! Or you too busy with your slide rule?  |

Re: Dragonfire11 pinch-hitting for the Dawg
I decided to solicit non-playing substitutes. I want to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
We'll see if I catch any takers who feel they can manage in my shoes. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

Re: Dragonfire11 pinch-hitting for the Dawg
Oh, but I want to play your game if I die! I will soften the blow to my ego. You have to care and nurture an ego you know. And thanks for blowing the lid on the "fiduciary agent" euphemism. It had such an aura of probity until you yanked back the curtain!  |

Well, Dragonfire, now that there is an official thread where you can get in line with other applicants, perhaps, after a lengthy stretch of due process and equal treatment, you will prove to be the best man for the job. We at the ULM DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT EQUITY encourage you to apply. Please take one of those snazzy, short 10-page self-duplicating application forms over there and submit it along with a financial statement and a full disclosure of all actual, putative, constructive and/or contingent conflicts of interest that you have, have had, might have had and/or foresee having in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter and all other matters to which you give attention. |

Re: Dragonfire11 pinch-hitting for the Dawg
BS Nuclear and MS electrical. I work at a nuclear weapons research facility, actually. But the nuclear weapons business has been extremely slow since the end of the Cold War. Currently, I have drifted into Program Management for non-proliferation research and engineering efforts, primarily in nuclear radiation detection and characterization.
So, if you kill me in a game, I just might nuke you in return!  |

Very cool! I think you definitely got me beat in the math and science department. I liked science in school, but now I just read National Geo. |

Re: Dragonfire11 pinch-hitting for the Dawg
Really! I write boring motions for a living. And you mint nukes. Ok Mr. Smarty Panther: How do you calculate the area of a disk if it is spinning? (I don't know the answer so you could make just about anything up.)

Re: Dragonfire11 pinch-hitting for the Dawg
Measure the diameter of the disk. Divide by 2 and square the result. Multiply by PI (~3.14159). And that's all she wrote!
Makes no difference if it is spinning or not other than the difficulty in measuring it. It is actually more interesting if the disc has a hole in the middle like a CD.
So... A standard CD diameter is 12 cm on the outside, and just under 1.5 cm on the inside. The area of a spinning CD is therefore approximately:
(12/2) * (12/2) * PI = 113.1 sq cm
MINUS the hole
(1.5/2) * (1.5/2) * PI = 1.8 sq cm
Equals
111.3 sq cm
Which is the answer to the CD question.
And no, I am not making this up!
