Re-learning math

I've been skimming lots of mathematics related stuff lately, and there's a lot I'm remembering and noticing.

For one, I think I would've been a lot happier had a teacher /always given us the final, simple equation for solving things like, say, polynomials)

In this case, the quadratic formula.

There's a million other ways to find your answers, but the quadratic formula solves for all, simple and complex polynomials. Why not give that at first?

I remember being incredibly -bored- with everything high school had to offer, including maths. I think maybe the classes moved too slowly and this is what turned me off in the first place.

If I go back for computer science, i'm going to try and hammer math as much as possible. Considering symbolic logic is very math based, it might be a good thing - I do plan on taking most of my electives in philosophy.

This means starting over. But I'm kinda glad about that - I think I need to do that. At 22, I'm still plenty young to start towards a B.S.

Oh, and.

It lives.

The 750W PSU works fine. As soon as I plugged it in, the power lights on the main board came on before I even pressed the button. I pretty much knew I was good from there on out.

I added a second intake fan in the front, and replaced the old Ultras with Thermaltakes.

My mb and cpu temps dropped 5C and 10C idle respectively. While running the most intensive game I had previously, the temps were 5C and 15C cooler respectively. The old power supply must've been overburdened.

While running my soft studio, things looked great as well. The lag is still an issue with workflow right now, due to the new VSTs, but I am pretty sure Windows 7 will rectify that.

I will need to decide whether or not I want to build a new tower or go with a laptop come tax return time. A new tower -would- allow me a lot more versatility, and let me get much more powerful soft-studio wise. On the other hand I could keep using this thing and just switch software types (I am, truthfully, sick of the current one.) A laptop on the other hand would let me explore the possibility of doing things live in a much easier fashion (however, what use will it be if it can't run the soft studio with no-lag?)

If I could just get my hands on a hacked copy of pro tools to try it out, I'd be happy.

Other than that, things are good. Gone for the weekend tomorrow.
