[*]Take away a corner side from the square, the perimeter still equals 4. [*]If you continue to take away corners, the perimeter of the square will still equal 4 and so when you do it infinitely, the corners should be extremely close to the the circle which would be the very close estimate of the circumference of th

Cloud Girl: Microsoft's new manga series. There was news about this back in April, but I guess Microsoft JP finally released a manga series for Windows Azure. It's apparently called Kuraudo Garu: Mado to Kumo to Aoi Sora (Cloud Girl: Windows, Clouds, and Azure Skies). As far as I've read into it, it's about a 2nd rate/amateur software engineer named Klaudia pretty much being a huge Microsoft ad.

Two questions for you, Basil UNO!: When you go to a restaurant and you HAVE to tip a waiter, why should I do that? These waiters are getting paid to do their job and so I should pay them 15% of what I just ate to these people for doing their jobs? That doesn't make much sense: "Hey, thanks for teaching me, Mr. X, let me give you a 10 dollar tip!" "Wow, that was great garbage picking-upping abilities, mister garbage man! Here! Have a 10 dollar tip for doing your job!" DOS!: Why do people in America accuse Asians for being bad drivers when Americans themselves are normally worse drivers than Asians? 1: "HAH!

You walk to the nearest safety zone in search for allies because you know that the current quarantine area you are in will be overrun at any time. [*]You must choose 1-4 teammates whose age totals to a maximum of 110 years (not including yourself) to heighten your chances of survival.
