Calculus
find dg/dx, (a function) by the limit process of g(x) = square root (x+2)
Then find the equation of the tangent line at the point x = 2

I have the tangent line, and the derivative, but I can't find it using the limit process. Anybody got any help for me? Or answers? My friend and I have been getting killed by this for almost an hour.

What do my results say about me?
I was just analyzing my WebDiplomacy results and came to the stunning conclusion that I rock at being France (4 wins in 8 games) and Turkey (3 wins in 8 games), I very much suck at being Russia (1 draw, 5 losses). Italy is a strange case without any wins, but also without any losses. I mostly play gunboats by the way.
Does it say anything about me as a player? How can I improve my Russia game?

P.S. My complete game stats are on my profile.

TV Shows
What are your guy's favorites?
jman777 (407 D)
18 Sep 10 UTC
24, NCIS, Bones, LOST, Castle, Firely, and The Office. I'm also starting to like Nikita, a new show done by CW. Kind of along the lines of 24, so with 24 over it makes for a nice replacement (though inadequate).
Winston (100 D)
18 Sep 10 UTC
Mine that are still running are
Big Bang Theory
Curb your Enthusiasm
Lie to Me
South Park

When it comes to ones that have ended or been cancelled
Firefly ( fuck fox for canceling this epic show)
Lost ( haven't watched the last season so don't spoil it)
I Love Lucy
Poirot
Band of Brother ( miniseries so kind of counts)

Yeah Winston I love Netflix instant play. I watched all of LOST and Firefly through it. :P

And no Abgemacht I haven't. Is it worth it?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
19 Sep 10 UTC
It was a foreign film, so it isn't what you'd expect. And, I suspect it's very different from the show (although I haven't seen it.) It can be streamed on Netflix, so if you have it, it's worth it.

There's also an older TV show based on the same movie.
largeham (149 D)

Mad Men, Psych, Arrested Development, Seinfeld, Oz, Rome, Flight of the Conchords, The Venture Bros, The Wire, CSI Miami (only the older episodes, and just for laughs).

Now that Lost is over the only show I watch is white collar. TV sucks. I'll probably watch the HBO version of a Song of Ice and fire though. I'm really waiting for that.

I'll watch The Office, Colbert/Stewart, and Law & Order if they're on, but that's about it.
jman777 (407 D)
19 Sep 10 UTC
Ok, I'll definitely watch that soon abge. I usually like foreign films because they give you a little piece of X culture.

And Ebay I watch White Collar too occasionally, I thought it was a very clever idea for a show. But LOST was definitely an awesome show.

And yeah largeham the scripting isn't very good. The actors (especially the lead "bad guy" who was in the first couple seasons of 24) all do fine, it's just scripted poorly.

3 mentions of Arrested Dev.



But that show is the best ever to air. In my opinion. And no, I don't exaggerate.
Winston (100 D)

I love that show although the 3rd season was a bit too absurd
BTW finally the movie next summer! Original cast too!
Winston (100 D)
19 Sep 10 UTC
Firefly seems pretty popular too. And whoever made the final call to cancel that show should be hunted down. They gave it a shitty air time and that's the only reason it wasn't the most popular show
largeham (149 D)
19 Sep 10 UTC
I'm pretty pessimistic about the Arrested Development movie. I don't think it will turn out well. Much of the shows humour, IMHO, was perfect for TV, it allowed jokes to carry on. Cramming all that into less than 3 hours (maximum) won't work well. But I'll still go see it.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

i'm pumped for the movie lol. i love that shit.

"you burn down the storage unit?"

"oh mos' definitely!"
@Winston: Band of Brothers was awesome. The Pacific was crap by comparison. (Actually, no, it was just crap. I was very disappointed.)
And Dexter! I can't believe it. Nobody here has mentioned Dexter. A cop show where the serial killer *is* the CSI guy! How can you have missed that?
My list of TV shows:-
The West Wing
NCIS
Dexter
Fringe
Boston Legal
House
Castle
QI
Mock the Week
Futurama
Dr Who
Firefly
Flash Forward
House of Cards
Star Trek
Stargate
Babylon 5

"Band of Brothers was awesome. The Pacific was crap by comparison. (Actually, no, it was just crap. I was very disappointed.)" So true, I was hugely disappointed also...
I haven't seen The Pacific yet. It's on my to-do list.

On another note, is anyone else fired up for the Hawaii Five-O remake coming out soon?

The Wire... Cant believe its not been mentioned yet. Truly brilliant.

Sopranos, Dexter and Band of Brothers. Dexter gets better with each season and season 4 was great, cant wait for 5.

Lost and House are current favourites and for anyone that hasn't seen it yet the Shield is also worth the watch.

Id have to say that Prison Break season 1 is probably the best season of Television ever made, the rest however are seriously lacking. Of course, the Inbetweeners if you can get it is great and on its 3rd season in the UK.
