Minecraft notches 50m downloads

I recently be playing a game (alot) called Minecraft

With 50 million registered players and a hardcore community, Minecraft is one of indie gaming's most astonishing and important success stories.

Originally released on the PC in 2009 as a working project, the title has been evolving ever since, adding new features, rules and modes and now a console conversion. Along the way, it has quietly become such a vital cultural force it even has its own Lego set. Which, if you know anything about Minecraft, is a delicious irony.

If, however, you still don't anything about Minecraft (wha... what?!), imagine a Lego set crossed with a resource management simulation. That is basically it. When you start a game, the engine builds a vast landscape via procedural generation, meaning no two worlds are the same. You're now free to explore this blocky Eden, climbing its mountains, strolling along beaches and staring up at the slabs of white cloud that float past like cubist spacecraft... Read more at

Equation Calculator & Solver

Quick-Start Guide

When you enter an equation into the calculator, the calculator will begin by expanding (simplifying) the problem. Then it will attempt to solve the equation by using one or more of the following: addition, subtraction, division, taking the square root of each side, factoring, and completing the square.

Variables

Any lowercase letter may be used as a variable.

Exponents

Exponents are supported on variables using the ^ (caret) symbol. For example, to express x², enter x^2. Note: exponents must be positive integers, no negatives, decimals, or variables. Exponents may not currently be placed on numbers, brackets, or parentheses.

Parentheses and Brackets

Parentheses ( ) and brackets [ ] may be used to group terms as in a standard equation or expression.

Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction

For addition and subtraction, use the standard + and - symbols respectively. For multiplication, use the * symbol. A * symbol is not necessiary when multiplying a number by a variable. For instance: 2 * x can also be entered as 2x. Similarly, 2 * (x + 5) can also be entered as 2(x + 5); 2x * (5) can be entered as 2x(5). The * is also optional when multiplying with parentheses, example: (x + 1)(x - 1).

Order of Operations

The calculator follows the standard order of operations taught by most algebra books - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction. The only exception is that division is not currently supported; attempts to use the / symbol will result in an error.
