Use Oracle VirtualBox and load up some Windowx XP on it, then create a virtual drive to use it as a network drive so you can easily manage files between the guest and virtual OS.

Also, I've read "Windows Vista" on this thread. Seriously, Windows Vista is garbage and has no purpose of existence as of 2009.
One either has XP, or Windows 7.

This looks a bit beyond what we've been taught in matrices
And I'm trying to 'study' for attending at a politechniques university :. These are the kind of exercises you are given to resolve.

And, if I am right after searching on wikipedia, by crowd I meant a set. So M is a set.

You are given the above matrix, and the "crowd"(really, have no idea what's the term in english) "M" composed from A to the k matrix(es?).
The problem asks how many elements M has.

I don't know how to solve the problem, so I was just guessing it might be infinity, since dividing pi with a value that gets higher and higher, you'll only get values that get closer and closer to 0( this is not a limit so I'm not discussing about dividing a value to infinity, which is 0). That means that every number is valid. Whatever, not that I am so sure about this part anyway.

Things get complicated when I see that k belongs to Z, and when trying to visualize matrix(es?) raised to a negative power(sincerely I think I am awfully failing at math at this point) it makes my mind explode.
But the problem correct answer is 2n, and I don't know why :.
Can someone explain to me ? :D

I think there was a thread about favourite food, but I will try to be more specific here:
Tell us your favourite type of soup. I think it's interesting, now that soup is not so popular these days.

I don't really have a single favorite, I rather have a few that I prefer:

-chicken soup with noodles
-beef belly soup(or borsch or how you say it)
-meatball soup
-watercress(I hope the translation is the good one) soup(only in spring, when this plant grows)

The Earth's axis had been pushed with 1 km, making the day longer by 15 minutes.
The blast was so heat-intense, that all the matter that was surrounding ground zero to a 1 km radius was practically expelled into space, at speeds 50 times greater than the speed of sound. It is thought that the radioactive matter has settled on the moon, because during some nights, there are some odd blue halos surrounding some spots on the moon. This is called the moonblue effect, and it occurs especially when there is high solar activity. Together with the vaporized people, The mighty atom had dissapeared.
It is believed that he is the responsible man for all this disaster.

It's interesting what are you doing here guys, but you know why would it be impractical for me?
Shutting down 'unncecesarry' services could only mean that I'd have to manually do myself something later.
And when you start using more programs, it's really difficult to keep a computer fast. It's about automation vs speed.

Btw, I use iObit SmartDefrag every 2-3 weeks and Advanced System Care(well, not that it is advanced but.. it does the job) once a week.
AlsobAvast, Comodo, Skype, Yahoo, Steam and other few things start with Windows. Excluding them from the startup list is not an option.

And Stojke, how the fuck did you manage 12 seconds on your XP I don't know... You either have an SSD and a very powerful pc, or you use XP for notepad.exe.
