The standards are not lower. The standards are higher at the top end. It is not uncommon for kids to take Algebra II in middle school these days. That was almost unheard of in my 1970s high school . Many kids at my sons high school were taking multivariable calculus and linear algebra as...

^^^ Very likely there are countries with better infrastructure. But this is a big, diverse, melting pot of a country that still lets in lots of immigrants with assorted issues. I'm sure you could talk to plenty of people in Spain and France with a lot of complaints. But the point about a...

I don't really even know what it means to be the "greatest" country in the world. Isn't that subjective? I guess it depends on how you define it, and what's important to you. I've been to a lot of countries, and spent a good deal of time working in several on three continents. I wouldn't want...

^^^^ Oops. I missed that. Maybe you weren't suuposed to divide the voltage by root three. That's 220 line to line in the problem? Or maybe they accidentally multiplied twice to get the answer in the book. Anyway, like I said, I'm horrible at this stuff. I got my PE in Electronics. Your...

Don't you have the same answer? Don't you just have to multiply your answer by three to get the total power for all three phases? It comes out the same. Note- I'm horrible on three phase power and would have likely scrfewed up the part you did. But this makes sense to me.

Who do they think fought in all those wars thehy learn about in history class? Or don't they teach that part anymore? I remember my textbooks were all filled with pictures of cannons and bayonets and stuff.

This thing was three years old. I hope he's not still waiting on the exam.

Try to get a job at a power plant. You may not leave the plant that much, but you can spend a good deal of time walking around the plant. It's geographically a smaller area, but more interesting than looking at poles, towers, and substations all day, IMO.

I know the cut scores and I'm not telling.

Once I didn't use only as directed.

Prick ticklin' bimbos?

^^^ I understand corporate personhood. What I meant was I'm not sure what they're talling about with this "instant runoff process". Does this mean you number the candidates by prefernce and then apply some sort of of weighted addition formula or something to determine the winner? So...

^^ I don't even understand what #3 means.

:huh: Unless V1=V2=V3 I think this circuit would violate the laws of physics as drawn. Can't remember how to model it, wouldn't this inducance be more dependent on the current in the conductor than the voltage? (not much help, i know)

Because NCEES monitors these boards. THe entire board could get shut down. I feel for anyone who doesn't pass but they need to be careful.

Given the choice between Obama and Dleg, I'd also tip my support to Dleg. I didn't know he was even running, but given what's happened this year, he has about as good a chance as anyone to lead the Republican field. .

I would believe it. Especially because of this- Petroleum engineering is probably the best bet, but I think anything to do with energy is a good bet for the future (generally speakuing). Not everyone will make pay like this, but I think the job security will be pretty good.
