  • Spanish: Is Rosetta Stone wrong here?

    I'm going through Rosetta Stone Latin American Spanish level 3, and I've seen this panel a couple of times:

    http://i.stack.imgur.com/L3Bo0.jpg

    That caption is not right is it? It's not the man in the picture talking, otherwise, there would be a little pointy white thing coming out of the text box to indicate that he's saying it. So it's third person. It should be "Sacò la basura." right?

  • Why does everybody hate the new youtube layout?

    Everybody is whining about the new youtube layout, and I honestly have no idea why.

    Before, I could only see 12 of my subscription videos at a time. I had no control over which ones showed up, and I would have to X out every one until I found one I was interested in.

    Now, they are separated by channel, and I can see all of the videos uploaded to a channel at once. It's not perfect but it's certainly better(IMHO).

    So I cannot for the life of me figure out what everyone is complaining about. Someone enlighten me please.

  • Question about terminology, Expressions, Formulas etc...?

    I'm writing a program that takes some basic physics formulas and is able to figure out every possible relationship between the quantities, for example, given the following:

    energy = distance * force

    energy = momentum * speed

    speed = distance / time

    It should be able to derive:

    force = momentum / time

    Anyway, when programming, I like to have my class names be as accurate and descriptive as possible, that way my code can be understood clearly, which leads to my question:

    What I want to know is, are there terms to distinguish general formulas and expressions like those above, from unit specific ones, such as those below?:

    The formula

    newtons = kilograms * meters per second per second

    and the expression

    kilograms * meters per second per second

    In other words, if this is called an expression:

    mass * acceleration

    then what's this called?

    kilograms * meters per second per second

    If they are both called expressions, is there another word that distinguishes them from each other? Same thing for formulas.

  • Know any Spanish language shows, movies or games that would appeal to a male American teenager or young adult?

    I think watching tv would be a great way to learn another language, but all I can find are telanovelas. I think I'll learn better if the material is entertaining.

    Kinds of shows/movies/games I like:

    Star Wars

    Heroes

    The Office

    Final Fantasy

    If you know how to get a hold of it too, that'd be great, but I'm generally capable of finding stuff I'm looking for online if it exists.

  • (c++) How do you typedef a function pointer type?

    Let's say the function prototype was like this:

    int func(int);

    To create a function pointer to that, I would do this,

    int (*pFunc) (int) = &func;

    But can I create a typedef of a function pointer type? Let's say I called it "unary_func", then I would declare pFunc like this:

    unary_func pFunc = &func;

    Is that possible?
