A question for anybody who has helped plan a wedding. | As my friends start getting married, I hear a lot about how hard/stressful it is to organize and plan a wedding. For those of you who have gone through it, do you think software would have helped?

What it's like to shoot your gun in a defensive situation | This weekend at the range I decided to practice what it is like to shoot my handgun in a defensive situation. Since I was at the range (all alone), the best I could do was sitting in a seat, have to stand up, unholster my gun, point at the target and fire. This was all without hearing protection.

PDE problem not working out... | The problem is
Uxx - 3Uxt -4Utt = 0
with initial conditions
U(x,0) = x^2
Ut(x,0) = e^x
The way I am supposed to solve this equation is to rewrite it as
x^2 - 3xt - 4t^2 = 0
then factor it
(x - 4t)(x + t) = 0
now I am to introduce new coordinates
Xi = x - t
Eta = 4x - t

I never catch her cheating because we're poly | All these 'caught cheating' and revenge/forgiveness stories have me sad for people who are trapped in jealous monogamous relationships.

would the economy be simpler to manage if the unemployed were simply stored in prisons til they were needed? | when the economy decides to shake itself out, the resultant unemployed clutter up the place and make it untidy - and annoy everyone with their weeping and wailing and begging for food.

But to no avail.

A friend of a friends soon-to-be-ex-wife lied about her birth control, and now she's pregnant. What can he do? | He was adamant about not wanting kids, and she was obsessed with having kids, which is a large part of the reason they're getting a divorce.
She's four months pregnant.
Does he have any options? Legal ones, that is. I'm sure they're still going to get divorced.
