So are there other imaginary numbers exclusive of i? Like, is there a letter that represents i+1, i+2, the square root of i, etc.?

i+1 and i+2 are just i+1 and i+2. The square root of i is something like (i+1) divided by the square root of two (I can't remember it exactly right now, and I'm too lazy to figure it out -- it might be (i-1) or (1-i) rather than (i+1), but it's something like that.) Numbers that can be written as a+bi, where a and b are real numbers, are called complex numbers.

Ok, so I downloaded Azureus, and the Alias file I wanted (last Wed's) but it says that Windows Mediaplayer will not play it.

EDIT Should I take this to the Tech thread?

Jen, perhaps this will help: [link]

Still can't get into my LJ. I can get to the front page, but when I try to log in, Wacky Things happen.

I coordinated a wedding at church today. It worked out pretty well, if you ignore such trifles as the organist not arriving until ten minutes before the ceremony, the freezing rain (I went to the grocery store across the street during the ceremony to try to buy kitty litter or rock salt, figuring that'd be quicker than rummaging through every place in the church that might in theory have something of the kind, and they just gave me a box of de-icer), and the fact the flower girl was so overwhelmed by all the people looking at her that she walked down the aisle in realllly slowwww motion, dropping petals one at a time behind her back. Which was actually very cute, of course.

There was a memorial service scheduled for about an hour and a half after the wedding ended, so we had to very quickly get the sanctuary turned around. So one of the elders got a bunch of volunteers, and I told them what went where. And since they're going to be the ones to make sure everything is OK for tomorrow--no clogged toilets, etc.--and lock up, all I really had to do was empty the trash in the wedding party changing rooms.

But all the elder did was rave about how accommodating I was being! While they were sparing me from what's usually a 2-3 hour slog of a clean-up by myself in a barn of an empty church. I feel like I barely earned my keep this time around--I'd almost be willing to do the cat-herding part of the job for free, but I feel like I earn every penny and more on the facilities side.

You probably need to upgrade DivX.

You can, they know everything.

Probably, but we'd probably just tell you to download and use VLC Media Player: [link]

ETA: Well, some would, some wouldn't.

I just downloaded Azureus, so far I like it better than whatever it was that I've been using.

Ack! So which should I do? Both?

Personally I'd do both.

Ok, I think I screwed up. I have no idea what I'm doing.

So I uninstalled Azureus and the VLAN thing.

LEt's try this again, with a few questions.

One, I have to wait to download the torrent I want from the site, right? and it takes a while.

OH, I'm so confused.
