Don't you realise? Thousands of freshmen from china entered 
US a few months ago. What have they found?  Their american
friends' math level is much, much lower than theirs! A meeting
was hold and a decision was made. Run an open university on SCC
to save americans, or the americans will not be able to keep 
they bank account in balance! .... Just a moment. I've already heard
that Bush failed to keep his government bank account and
there're red numbers all over. Out he goes! Maybe SCC'ers 
should send Clinton an open letter about this. Here is 
the proposed title:

If he stick, the winning chance is m/(m+n)
If he switch:
  m/(m+n)*0 + n/(m+n)*m/(n+m-2) 
  =(right first)*(wrong after) + (wrong first)*(right after switch)

This is indeed intersting.  Sovle inequality

   m/(m+n)  >  n/(m+n)*m/(n+m-2)

We get switch if m = 1, stick if m > 1.

Of course, if host open a door and happend to see goat, then no
difference.

On the other hand, if I were the host, I'll ask you if you want to
switch when I know you have chosen the car, but simply open the doors
with car (you lost) if you made the wrong choice.  Will you switch now
:-)?

I thought nobody would want to answer a question of that nature but I was
wrong. I saw a lot of funny stuff. Advice to those who is interested in
trying this kind of stuff: When you see a question that looks tricky,
read the question twice, most probably the author is playing with words.
Read carefully. But changing the coins to equivalent foreign coins is
an appealing idea to me. I got a lot of Renmingbi to exchange with
your US currency and I am willing to do it on the official rate.

No.  When a=n, there is still only ONE positive solution since in that case
the LHS & RHS curves *touch* each other rather than *intersect* each other.

the answer of "why no democracy for so long for Hong Kong" is
simple:

	"You are a colony!  and you guys certainly don't 
	 look white enough to have any democracy, why do you
         needed it anyway?  you mean you don't trust white
         anglo-saxons to rule this place fairly?  are you against
         us?  hah!  radical revolutionary, KMT!(up till early
         1920s)  Communist radicals(from 1927 & up!)!  ;->"

let's face it besides Canada,, ozzie, & newzzie, which former
british colony/protectrate was left with a sound & working democracy?
South Africa -- only white folks get to vote!  ;->  India &
Pakinstan were busy fighting each other, and the Arabs were
divided into 20+ countries with a bunch of dictatorial kings &
shrieks and emirs the majority was overthrown in a couple of
month by a bunch of dictator generals & madmen. and Africa ... never mind.    

sure there was a lot of conflict in those regions, somehow
i got the feeling the british was happy to leave the conflicts
behind, or at least guilty of make no serious attempt to solve
them when their colonial empire fell apart.  Somehow, i get
the feeling that nobody wants to see a united 1 billion+ population
nation on the Indian subcontinent, or an united arab nation from 
altantic coast all the way to the indian ocean, you know why?
if there's such a country and if they nationalize the oil fields
and the suez canal, the Brits CAN'T do a damn thing about it!  
but if you a bunch of small banana republics engulfed in civil
& local wars and armed races, hmmm, there's a lot to do by  
their former colonial masters.

Dear netters

I am looking for information regarding living and working condition in
Singapore. Although opinions and advise on following aspect are specially
appreciated, opinions on all other aspects are welcome.

(1) Research activities and standard (although it varies in different areas),

(2) Career opportunity. What is the chance of getting a new job,

(3) What is the local people's attitude toward new immigrants,

(4) Housing. The advantage and disadvantage of renting or buying a house/flat.

(5) Health care. 

(6) Education. 

(7) Climate. I was told it is very hot and humid. Is it difficult to get use 
    to it?

If you are currently working in Singapore or you have an experience of working
there, I would like to hear from you. Your information could be very important
for me and all the information will be very much appropriated.

With regard

				Yours sincerely

etc.

I would think that's highly unlikely that the .gif file can have virus,
since the way a virus works in a computer, it has to be in a executable
file or a overlay file while .gif picture can be classified as data file. I
think there is no way if someone stick a virus in a .gif picture, it can
spread in computers. Furthermore, .gif files has its own internal encoding
scheme which, if other code is sticked in the middle of a picture, will reject 
the picture as unreadable or has error. What is more likely, is that your site 
might not allow .gif pictures since they're just too big and consume too much 
disk space.(My gif's are chewing up my hard drive for sure :^) ).

Hmmm.  There are two Congos in Africa (one is former German->French Congo, and

Define "elected government."  I don't think President Lee has popular mandate,
since he was elected by the National Assembly which still contained (but not
any more) not only representatives who were elected in mainland but also
representatives who were *not* elected (but filled the seats of those who did).

It will truly be an elected government when the next President is elected.
No matter whether direct or indirect election is involved, the next
President will actually have popular mandate.

Taiwanese culture was influenced a lot by Japanese and Western culture.
It is not accurate to say Taiwanese culture is a subset of Chinese
culture. I would rather say Taiwanese culture and Chinese culture
have a lot in common.

SORRY. I should. The original price is $180. You don't have to take both.

I don't think friend1.gif is the source of virus since a viru program
can only spread when you run it.  Or it must be a program with '.exe' or
'.com' extension.  '.gif' is only a data file. 

You can get some virus-clean program (lots of them) from simtel mirror
site 128.252.135.4 directory /mirrors/msdos/trojan (trojan? check
spell).  

I hope you don't have to do reformat your harddisk to get rid of it.
