![]() ![]() Our helpful Parentheses/Brackets Exponent Multiplication Division Addition and Subtraction had to have come from somewhere right? While you’re at it, let’s talk a bit about how the Order of Operation which is known as PEMDAS (British version – BEDMAS) came to be. Think of this as a brain teaser, and while they may be a bit pesky sometimes, they are certainly interesting and great for improving your memory and processing abilities. If your answer is zero, four, seven, or a decimal fraction, you might want to take another go at it before taking a peek at the solution. However, the more contradicting the answers are, the more viral a question will go. It’s gotten to a point where they can’t decide what the correct answer is, but it’s actually a simple PEMDAS operation and the final answer is set in stone. Like Bertrand Russel once said, “Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.Still feeling confident right there? People online are coming up with a barrage of different answers. So what if mere mortals like us cannot harbor any hopes of solving the hardest mathematics problem in the world, we can at least look intelligent while mentions are made. Along with the yet unproven Riemann’s hypothesis, Fermat’s last theorem is without doubt the hardest math problem in the world.īoth these theorems have achieved cult popularity in mathematical circles, seeping into popular culture with mentions in bestselling books like the Millennium Trilogy by Steig Larrson and series like Simpsons, Numb3rs, and Law and Order. In fact, the theorem was scrawled on the margins of one of his books and found later by his son. Andrew Wiles successfully proved the Fermat’s Last Theorem in 1995, with the assistance of Richard Taylor.įermat’s Last Theorem was published only after his death, as when he was alive, Fermat, an amateur mathematician refused to publish any of his work. It was in 1984 that Gerhard Frey proposed that the theorem could be proved using the modularity conjecture. The theorem was over the years proved for all prime numbers less than 100 and for regular primes. While this theorem was proved for the integer case n=4 before Fermat’s theorem was proposed, over the next two hundred years, the theorem was proven for the prime numbers 3, 5, and 7. Though difficult to understand, we will try and explain these two problems in the next section. While Riemann’s Hypothesis still remains unsolved, Fermat’s theorem which is one of the hardest math problems in the world, was solved only in 1995. There are two maths problems in the world that have received a lot of recognition and attention because they have remained unsolved for several years. What is the Most Difficult Math Problem in the World? Not because I want to solve it (far from it, actually) but because the fact that there is actually a hypothesis in the world that has not been proven for almost 150 years now is very intriguing. ![]() Today, the hardest math problem is of interest to me. That is how most of us got to know that there were some mathematical problems that had actually never been solved even by mathematicians who had devoted their lives to it. ![]() ![]() And sometimes, these math club braniacs would talk about solving the hardest math problem in the world. But there were some amongst us who wanted to learn those weird theorems with Greek alphabets and imaginary numbers. Of course, we needed to learn how to add or subtract, in case we wanted to check that we got the correct change back from the cashier, but what was the point of learning the Pythagoras theorem or algebra with the x’s and y’s or all those other math terms? Well, that was the logic many of us applied to get out of studying this dreaded subject. Those of us who didn’t were unfortunately labeled geeks, probably something that stemmed from the age-old human reaction that grapes are sour. Growing up, most of my friends (and me) suffered from an illogical fear of numbers, equations, right angles, and the entire conundrum of a subject that is mathematics. ![]()

System Shock was one of the first games with proper physics, leaning abilities and complete freedom of 3D movement. You are a hacker who has been given a new fancy cybernetic interface (cool way to explain HUD) and wake up alone in a station. In System Shock, the story is unfold via some audio logs you find on the Citadel Station and by the environment itself. But this “obstacle” is solved so elegantly that makes me wonder why this system has not been further used by all other titles – you can choose the difficulty of Story (time countdown on or off), Combat, Puzzles and Cyberspace (no I won’t tell you what that is, and yes it is awesome). System Shock is an old-school game in every way. This means you can choose your own pace, and your own approach to any given situation. Immersive sims are games in which there is a simulated world (often with physics), letting the player play via a first person perspective (to further enhance the immersion). SYSTEM SHOCK It is impossible not mentioning Ultima Underworld – and the whole “immersive sim” legacy – when trying to talk about System Shock. After all, there is nothing quite like the following games. ![]() My goal with this article is to show you that age and graphics are irrelevant to good gameplay mechanics. Most of them will be old, and perhaps you may have never played them. In this article I will look into some titles that deserve to be remembered. A lot of young gamers who came in for fun are running in circles, hunting for games with the best graphics and the best ‘movie feel.’ While graphics and ‘overall feel’ are important, there is nothing more important in games than their gameplay. There are hundreds of new titles released each and every year, and while most of them are as mediocre as they can get, there are still some games / franchises that should not be forgotten. Written by Vojtech Hovorka It is very hard to be successful and recognized in today’s gaming market. ![]() ![]() The USSB and DirecTV programming services were launched on June 17, 1994. Hughes was awarded the contract to build and launch the new high-powered satellites, and USSB and DirecTV agreed that the new satellites would carry the two separate programming services: USSB and DirecTV. These dishes utilized a new generation of smaller, lighter receiver dishes based on military technology introduced by the Global Broadcast System, which predated DirecTV's viability by almost ten years. Hughes/DirecTV then turned to Thomson Consumer Electronics (under the RCA, GE, and ProScan brands) to develop the digital satellite system for the service that would be capable of receiving 175 channels on a small 18-inch dish. DirecTV's name is a portmanteau of "direct" and "TV" (as in direct broadcast satellite television). Failing to do so, the company instead created DirecTV as a separate division and secured an agreement with USSB to build and launch the first high-power direct-broadcast satellite system. Hughes attempted to create a joint venture with NBC, News Corp., and Cablevision in 1990, to launch the first high-power digital television service called Sky Cable. Hughes and other companies believed in the early 1990s that technology would soon make digital satellite television affordable. After many years, the technology was developed to enable the building of very high-power satellites, and digital compression ( MPEG-2) standards were developed that allowed multiple digital television channels to be sent through each satellite frequency. was also awarded 27 frequencies at the same 101-degree location. USSB was awarded five frequencies by the FCC, at the coveted 101-degree west satellite location. ![]() Hubbard founded United States Satellite Broadcasting (USSB) in 1981 and was a leading proponent for the development of direct-broadcast satellite service in the United States. The new subsidiary was initially composed of four units: Delco Electronics Company, Hughes Aircraft Company, Hughes Space and Communications Company, and Hughes Network Systems. General Motors then merged Hughes Aircraft with its subsidiary Delco Electronics to create Hughes Electronics Corporation. In 1984, the court appointed a new board for HHMI, which proceeded to sell off Hughes Aircraft to General Motors on December 20, 1985, for an estimated $5.1 billion. Following Hughes' death in 1976, HHMI was incorporated in 1977, and litigation ensued to determine whether it would be allowed to maintain its interest in Hughes Aircraft. Ostensibly created as a non-profit medical research foundation, HHMI was accused of being used by Hughes as a tax shelter. In 1953, Howard Hughes created the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), to which he transferred full ownership of Hughes Aircraft. History Hughes Electronics Hughes Electronics logo (1985–1990) ![]() On February 25, 2021, AT&T announced that it would spin-off DirecTV, U-Verse TV, and DirecTV Stream into a separate entity, selling a 30% stake to TPG Inc., while retaining a 70% stake in the new standalone company. Īs of the end of Q1 2021, AT&T had 15.9 million pay-TV customers, including DirecTV, U-Verse, and DirecTV Stream subscribers. On July 24, 2015, after receiving approval from the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice, AT&T acquired DirecTV in a transaction valued at $67.1 billion. Its primary competitors are Dish Network, traditional cable television providers, IP-based television services, and other over-the-top video services. It also provides traditional linear television service delivered by IP through its U-verse TV brand and a Virtual MVPD service through its DirecTV Stream brand.

Seriously? Does this seem like a joke to him? What the hell! Congratufuckinglations! I can’t believe you would cheat on me and throw 3 years in the trash!” “What the fvck am I doing here? I came here to surprise you and announce that you are going to be a father. That’s when I started feeling overly hot, like a fire was burning inside of me. “Seriously Kenzi, what the fvck are you doing here? Get the fvck out! Can't you see I'm busy?” What was I doing here? He seriously has the guts to ask that? What the hell was he doing making out with the blond bimbo if he was dating me? ![]() “What the fvck are you doing here? We aren’t supposed to see each other till Saturday” He yells at me His eyes got big as he let go of the bimbo in his arms. It’s like my whole world just stopped turning, and that’s when he noticed me. To my surprise, I walked in on him and some chick making out, an open bottle of wine and 2 glasses on the kitchen island. I have a key so, as usual, I let myself in. Who knows right? I made it to his apartment by 7. Plus I want to look good if this surprise news makes him decide to propose to me. Steve is always home late anyways so I figured I’d take the time and make sure I looked good. Then I stopped home to wrap them up and get changed. They were so tiny and delicate with a little yellow ribbon around the top. As soon as classes were over, I rushed to the cute little baby store a block away and got some adorable little yellow crocheted baby slippers. I knew I was ready for my exams and I couldn’t wait to surprise Steve. I needed to let him know sooner rather than later. We weren’t supposed to see each other till after my exams but I couldn’t wait for this weekend. I would wrap them up and surprise him at his place. I ended up deciding to go shopping for a pair of baby shoes after my exams tomorrow. So many cute ideas popped up on my screen. I was a strong and smart woman and I could do this! Having finished my pep talk, I start googling ideas on how to announce the news to Steve. ![]() Sure, this is not how I had envisioned things, but I could roll with the punches. I was almost done with school and was about to move into Steve’s place. I'm an hour into my TV show and I’m finally starting to feel better about the situation. Nothing better to make me forget about my predicament than to watch plenty of drama on TV. I flip though the channels on TV and decide on the Bachelor. I might as well eat my emotions since I don’t know what to do with myself right now. I make myself a bowl of ice cream, chocolate mint, my favorite. Plus his family is very well off, maybe they could help? And sure enough, as I take a peek at the test I had left on the counter, 2 blue lines are visible. He graduated last year and now works in finance. Was I going to be able to get a job? Who hires a pregnant chick? And if I don’t have a job will Steve be able to support us? He does have a good job. Would Steve be happy? We haven’t really talked about having kids. So many thoughts popping in and out of my brain. This has been the longest 2 minutes of my life. Finish school, move in with Steve, get married, buy a house and then, and only then, we were to have children. Thank God my roommate was gone for the day, I didn't need any witnesses. As soon as I get home I race to the toilet. I have never been happier for the self-serve counter as I could feel my shame creep up on my face as I buy the pregnancy test. I’m freaking out, I need to get to the pharmacy ASAP. 6 weeks!!! We were being careful, I was on the pill. I try remembering when my last period was…6 weeks. I’m racking my brain trying to figure it out…Sh!t. I can’t put my finger on it but I feel like something's off. I’ve been feeling super tired lately, I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been studying late each night for my finals or if it's something else. I can’t wait!!! But of course it had to be too good to be true and my world came crumbling down. I’m really hoping he will ask me to marry him once we move in together this summer. We met my first year of college at a frat party and have hit it off since then. As soon as I graduate, I’ll be able to move in with my long-time boyfriend Steve. I can’t wait to start working and helping people. In just a few weeks I'll have my bachelors in nursing. I’m 22, I live in the dorms, study hard to keep up my 4.0 GPA and of course I go to the occasional party.

It should speak loudly to not only what your company does, but what you stand for and why you do it. Your identity should be an extension of the narrative and unique brand differentiation you are building with your audiences.

VMware, Mulesoft and Gremlin are some great examples in B2B enterprise software. Combination of words can work, but are difficult to come by. Using an everyday concept will make it easier to create a personable logo that can be used creatively across your marketing. The best company names speak to the essence of what the company does using a word that customers will easily understand and, therefore, remember. This will give brands the visibility into their customers' perspective and empower them to design experiences that would best suit their needs and expectations. Amine Rahal, Regal AssetsĮ-commerce companies can improve their user interfaces by taking a multi-pronged approach: use data to pinpoint the underlying issue, then marry it with the human perspective to reveal customer preference and behavior. For your logo, always hire a design professional who incorporates unified, minimalist aesthetics that are easily identifiable. Whatever you choose, ensure that it's easily pronounced and, ideally, one monosyllabic word. When coming up with a brand name, first consider using the name of the founder(s) or putting a playful spin on it. Logos and brand names should both be recognizable and simplistic. Like a statue freed from stone, the visual identity of your brand will soon take shape. Next, find your colors and font and let your logo take form. List 10 words associated with your values and mission, then make your best friend. When you land on a name and logo that feels right, you'll know. Sometimes business is about spreadsheets, sometimes it's about your gut. Whether it's NerdFace or CircleBomb, if your customers only need to hear it once, it'll be easier for them to reference in the future to others. I recommend something memorable and goofy.
