3 AnswersPrinters1 decade agoFacebook granted unauthorized access to Y! account?
There was a chat between me and an unknown person on Y! chat long time ago. It was just few lines although. Today when I logged on to FB, here it shows me that person's name under "People You May Know". FB has been continuously asking me to provide access to my email account saying "Friend Finder" or something like that. But I've never accepted it because I don't want to connect with my Y! contacts on FB. I suspect Facebook have unauthorizedly accessed my contacts in my Y! account. What is going on?
I'm 100% sure we don't have friends in common. Maybe its just coincident?

2 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoA silly question about quantum mechanics?
Let ψ₁, ψ₂, ... , ψᵥ be an orthonormal basis set.
And,
ψ = c₁ψ₁ + c₂ψ₂ + ... + cᵥψᵥ
It is given in the lecture note I am provided with that since 〈ψᵤ|ψᵥ〉 = δᵤᵥ we can find
cᵣ = 〈ψᵣ|ψ〉
The proof is given and I understand that. The problem is, how can one apply this to find cᵣ without really knowing c₁, c₂, ..., cᵣ, ..., cᵥ? (ψ = c₁ψ₁ + c₂ψ₂ + ... + cᵥψᵥ)

Their previous layout was great and revolutionary. But they don't even provide an option to stay with the previous layout for people who dislike new ugly mess. Yes its true that they provide their service for free, but is it ethical for a recognized company to do this forcibly? :(

4 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoHow to test a hypothesis about a binomial distribution on SPSS?
I have to complete a stat take-home assignment for which any of Minitab and SPSS is permitted.
But there is a question in the assignment that I have to conduct a hypothesis test based on a sample~Bin(n,p), in which only n and p but no actual data are given.

But I love the output of SPSS which is easy to interpret and understand.

Programming & Design1 decade agoPlease help! Isn't IRC anonymous?
I'm a new comer to irc network. Today I tried to chat with someone through irc. But nobody replied me, maybe because they don't know me. In one IRC network (I don't remember the exact name) there was a room named 'rosaporn'. In search of any friend, I joined it. But there was only one person. She said that she is 14 years old and she is from london. And she asked me to upload my photo. She asked me to take the photo without wearing a shirt. After that the chat went to a different side. But suddenly she replied 'Federal Bureau of Investigation has monitored this chat. [rascalflatz] You will be arrested under ....". Rascalflatz was my nick name. And then she asked 'Are you online still? Im asking this for your own safe'. I replied 'Yes. But what is this? Is it true?' Then she replied 'Yes. Eat s#!t ni99er!". I want to know is this only a fake or not. Please help me! Can people see my IP through IRC? Oh god! Will I be arrested?
3 AnswersOther - Internet1 decade agoHelp....How to download more?
I use a free file sharing. It limits the download jobs I can carry out to only 5 downloads per day. But I think this is fairly unreasonable. Most of the files I download are smaller files (between 10 to 200 kB). But some of my known friends download large files from that same site and so they download more than 500MB a day though I can download 50kB to 1MB . Is there an easy way to spoof my MAC address? (I use a router and an ADSL link)
