@Blue No you just gotta get parent to sign forms and stuff... Make sure I don't do naughty adult things before I'm an adult (like drinking - that's mentioned soooo many times)
@Abcd the derivation depends on the physical system being studied. Since you use $\theta$ I'd guess you're thinking about a pendulum, where $\theta$ is the angle of the string. In that case it's just a matter of calculating the forces on the bob and showing that the torque is proportional to $-\theta$.
Free software or libre software is computer software distributed under terms that allow users to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute it and any adapted versions. Free software is a matter of liberty, not price: users —individually or in cooperation with computer programmers— are free to do what they want with their copies of a free software (including profiting from them) regardless of how much is paid to obtain the program. Computer programs are deemed free insofar as they give users (not just the developer) ultimate control over the first, thereby allowing...
@ooolb don't take the piss. I'm not a huge fan of the big ban boot, but posting homophobic material then pretending it wasn'twill attract the attention of moderators bigger and badder than me.
@SirCumference Being a high-rep user doesn't necessarily mean you are remotely fit to moderate. There are multiple instances of high-rep users (yes, in the 100k range) on the SE network that are definitely not moderator material. And no, I won't give examples :P
Also he didn't get banned for the "homo homo homo" message (which is not homophobic per se, but a childish attempt at humor at best). The message which got him banned, based on my observation of which message got deleted from the chat transcript, is his "I'm not homophobic idiot" comment to JR
I don't think it's particularly "rude" to call Homophobes idiots. I think anyone who has such a strong opinion about what irrelevant consenting adults do has something wrong with them
Something happened here? In general, try to respect Stack Exchange's general Be Nice policy which applies to all cases, even when the other person is disrespecting it; it saves you a lot of trouble. That being said, I tried to counterflag it (but I was a few seconds too slow), and I do agree with the point, just try to uphold the BNBR policy to avoid trouble.
@JohnRennie Do you realize that homophobia can be a behaviour deep engraved in some people that they cannot change it, even if they wish to? It's a "phobia"
Perfect SHM? Surely not, every dynamical system in nature is acted on by so many natural forces that the flowlines becomes quite fractal-like on small-scales.
@Bernardo Suppose you have a $2^n \times 2^n$ graphsheet of tiny squares. Cut out one square from it from anywhere on the graphsheet. Prove that you can tile deficient graphsheet by trominoes: shapes of this form -
@Phase Won't lie imaginary stuff in physics confuses me cause half the time I'm like "Why is some part of something happening to the mass on this spring imaginary"
