Lessons From Cubeville

My job is so fun:

The merge module generator automatically detects COM and .NET assemblies.

For COM, the test is if the DLL or OCX has a DllRegisterServer() entry point.

For .NET, the test is if you can call OpenScope on a MetaDataDispenser for the binary. This returns true even for some executables.

Cool. Yeah, I spent a lot of time at work ( Read more... )

Thanks! It is slowly setting in that it is, in fact, my car!

The title for my trade-in is in the bank. No banks open on Monday. No point in making multiple trips.

There are no i's in the equation you gave us, and without the i, it most certainly does not resolve to -1/3

This is true.

Use a power series expansion for f(x) = 1 + x2 + x4 + ...

You'll find that it only converges for x < 1, and that it converges to (1 - x2)-1

Here's the fun part: move the problem to the complex plane.

The scary part is, when Euler considered the problem, the complex plane wasn't standardized -- it was, in fact, almost completely unknown.

The Riemann Hypothesis is false. The number is one off the....oh never mind.
