It's Already 2AM: uhhhm Where we at again? Oh yeah 16th SPAMDITION (that's One Three)

on the Dog subject, i had 3 now down to 2,

heres my take on the dogs i've owned.
Golden Retriver - Awesome Dogs very smart and sweet, love to cuddle, troublesome puppies

Labrador Retriver ^ same thing just shorter hair

Great Pyranees- Laid Back sweet dogs that are HUGE babies, very loyall but hard to train but would rather lay around with you than aggreviate you to play all the time.

German Sheppard ^ pretty much like the Lab but on CRACK until they grow up, my German is nuts she bounces and runs randomly in the back yard with no purpose and shes 18 months old. Shes 74lbs already too, so she'll be big once grown into her ears. Very smart- as a puppy they figure things out and trouble shoot to get what they want, mine can open doors and gates easily!

Another Corgi plus: typical weight for an adult female is ~25lb.

Obviously, you're not nerdy enough. How sad, since nerds rule the world, or, at least, the world's money.

The HP 50g is Hewlett-Packard's current top-of-the-line calculator. See it here: http://www.shopping.hp​.com …orefronts/F2229​AA%2523ABA

RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) is a type of logic used to perform operations on calculators and computers. The other type of logic used by calculator is Algebraic notation. Most HP calculators use RPN, especially the more expensive ones. The HP 50g can use either.

With Algebraic notation (also known as infix notation), used by Texas Instruments, Casio, Sharp, and some HP calculators, problems are entered as they would be written. While this sounds intuitive, it requires the operator to keep track of priorities, parentheses, and intermediate values. Many a complex problem has failed, or worse, produced erroneous results, because an operator got a priority wrong or failed to close a parenthesis.

RPN (also called postfix notation) has no such requirements. It is an outgrowth of a system of logic developed by Jan Lukasiewicz in the 1920s. This system of logic was called Polish Notation (in honor of Lukasiewicz), and is formally known as prefix notation. With Polish notation, you enter the operators first and then the operands (hence: prefix).

With RPN, you enter the operands first, and then the operators (hence: postfix). This completely does away with priorities, parentheses, and other artificial structures, and uses the machine's stack to automatically keep track of intermediate values. This is the way a machine thinks, making RPN a natural system for computers, and calculators, which are just small computers.

Algebraic notation, the way problems are solve with pencil and paper, mixes operands and operators (hence: infix). This does not lend itself to machine operation. Calculators and computers that use algebraic notation actually use some form of translation system to allow the machine to do the actual operations in an RPN-like structure. They have to, since machines are stack oriented by their very nature.

People, like myself, who learned to program machines at their most basic levels (machine language and Assembly), naturally gravitate towards RPN in their choice of calculators. It just makes more sense.

See? Nerds give nerdy responses. I freely admit that.

But then, is that any worse than the Jock responses put here by those who think with their gonads? You know: guns, bikes, football (any variety), etc.

Martin,

Algebraic: You punch in "1", "+", "1" ,"=" then 2.0 pops up on the screen.
RPN: You punch in "1" ,"ENTER", "1", "+" then 2.0 pops up on the screen.

Electronic abacus.

thanks for your in depth explanation Roger, FYI i did google it to see, your explanation lost me at algebra

my mind always envisioned what i did with my hands, it was not much of a computer

That HP calculator ive used it religiously over the years

i haven't used a calculator in, well, since you were born

First dog I owned was when I was a kid. She was a cross between a Pomeranian and a Toy Poodle. She was a pretty good dog, albeit not always the smartest. She lived to be 14 years old.

I'm looking at Rescue group now, found 2 dogs i think my wife would love,

Bear Bear - a 152lb Alaskan Malamute
Thor- a 175lb Great Pyranees

we like big dogs!!!!

If it was my dog, i'd have an Irish Wolfhound. but i have the little one in the house, the 72 lb black lab

Both my dogs train with me too, both run 3 miles every other night.

Yeah I threw some comments up on ESPN's NFC East blog (username: CorgiCowboy) already about that silliness.

One of my fantasy leagues this year has the ESPN writer (Dan Graziano) for the NFC East blog in it. He defended the comments Eli made, so I gave him some fair criticism and some trash-talking, since I play against him week 1.

Some people said what do you expect him to say. I say to that you dodge it

Who would steal a dog.

we left it with my in-laws for a week. They called up and said that Zeus was "gone". Never found a body, nobody turned the dog in or anything like that. Wife was mortified. They just left the guy out and about during the day. So we know it was stolen - they live in the middle of nowhere, where everyone knows everyone, but not the passer-throughs. Dog was micro-chipped too, but alas, nothing. A total bummer.

Once we get a place we'll get another Alaskan Malamute. Although I'd love a psycho collie, aussie shepherd or something with manic personality

Has anyone taken any of the workshops that Adorama offers?

Horrible. How can you leave the dog out without paying attention to it

Ive been to them at the store but not sure how the on-line workshops would work.

Well, "we" said we are not leaving the kid with them at all, not even for 5 seconds.
