if we could get some examples or some links which support a certain order or that describe a set of rules which are unambiguous, especially if specifically describe the case of juxtaposition, that would be great...
from researching the issue i found that different calculators get different answers.
casios usually get the answer 1, and ti calculators can get both 1 and 9 depending on the model.
(many calculators wont allow you to make the formula that way)
they have different rules of precedence
@zakyath...
im sorry i didnt mean to make it seem as if i had found an answer.
i meant for the last 2 quotes to be support for the "jux-first" thinkers.
right, so... if someone were rewrite the mnemonic for order of operations
(PEMDAS where i live but slightly different in other parts of the world),

recently, as many of you may already know, several facebook polls have been created featuring ambiguously written equations, such as this one...

lol i guess i didnt really think of it until slapshot mentioned alcohol.
everyone ive argued with has made some strong thought provoking points which prompted me to do research (albeit not very thorough or scholarly research, just google-ing, youtube-ing and wiki-ing) on the subject i hope...

the negative health implications of alcohol are well documented and fairly well known

honestly i wasnt sure if that was a real word.
it is exactly the connotation i intended to convey
the cervical cancer vaccine you mentioned is actually an hpv vaccine which reduces risk of cervical cancer. it only protects against 4 strains...
actually, the mercury compound you are referring to, thiomersal, has been, for the most part, phased out of use since 2001, despite the fact that numerous studies found no evidence of toxicity and no causal relationship with autism.
this was discussed in the videos which i posted. i highly...
undeadorcjerk,

would it upset you more if he had pepper sprayed a puppy?

what was wrong with it following students around?
what threat did it pose that merits pepper spray?

i am having trouble sorting some information from my database.
at one point in time when i ran my query in php the records came in a different order than when i ran the same query on mysql workbench.
basically my problem is that i want to sort some info before aggregating it.
the database has...
why would you think that?
i know what sites the majority of anon comes from.
ive seen threads where anon ruined the lives of cat abusers and other people they deemed worthy of trolling.
i dont think you understood my point.
what i am trying to say is that i am reluctant to group this particular...
the problem with being anonymous is that anyone can pose as you.
i doubt this group is at all related to the groups who attacked westboro baptist or bank of america or the ones who supported wikileaks.
