Excerpt: A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical classification of a two-dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the symmetries in the pattern. Such patterns occur frequently in architecture and decorative art. There are 17 possible distinct groups. Wallpaper groups are two-dimensional symmetry groups, intermediate in complexity between the simpler frieze groups and the three-dimensional crystallographic groups (also called space groups). Wallpaper groups categorize patterns by their symmetries. Subtle differences may place similar patterns in different groups, while patterns which are very different in style, color, scale or orientation may belong to the same group. Consider the following examples: Examples A and B have the same wallpaper group; it is called p4m. Example C has a different wallpaper group, called p4g. The fact that A and B have the same wallpaper group means that they have the same symmetries, regardless of details of the designs, whereas C has a different set of symmetries despite any superficial similarities. A complete list of all seventeen possible wallpaper groups can be found below. A symmetry of a pattern is, loosely speaking, a way of transforming the pattern so that the pattern looks exactly the same after the transformation. For example, translational symmetry is present when the pattern can be translated (shifted) some finite distance and appear u...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=386214 ... Read more

Le tennis de table est une activité de loisir et aussi un sport olympique depuis 1988. Il existe plusieurs dénominations de ce sport à travers le monde : ping pang qiu (乒乓球) en Chine et à Taïwan, ou takkyu (卓球) au Japon. En revanche le mot ping-pong provient de la marque commerciale sous laquelle le jeu est produit aux États-Unis au début du siècle. Ce terme est plutôt utilisé pour désigner le jeu de loisirs, alors que le terme de tennis de table est plutôt utilisé pour désigner la pratique sportive ; malgré tout, un pratiquant de ce sport, y compris en compétition, s'appelle toujours un « pongiste ». L'histoire de ce sport est marquée par une série d'évolutions techniques (nature des revêtements de raquettes, introduction puis interdiction d'usage de la colle rapide) qui ont conduit à des innovations dans le style de jeu (utilisation de la « prise porte plume » par les hongrois puis les asiatiques) et dans les tactiques employées au plus haut niveau comme l'apparition du topspin à la fin des années 1970. Le tennis de table moderne permet une grande variété de systèmes de jeu, avec les jeux d'attaque, de contre-initiative et les jeux de défense particulièrement spectaculaires. Le nombre de pratiquants dans le monde est estimé à plus de , et la Fédération international...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Chapters: Brain, Stoned, Form, Michelangelo, Ping-Pong Virus, Alcon, Onehalf, Anticmos, Crazy Boot, Anticmos.b, Anticmos.c, Hare, Ghostball. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 42. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Stoned is the name of a boot sector computer virus created in 1987, apparently in New Zealand. It was one of the very first viruses, and was, along with its many variants, very common and widespread in the early 1990s. When an infected computer started, there was a one in eight probability that the screen would declare: Your PC is now Stoned! The phrase is found in infected boot sectors of infected floppy disks and master boot records of infected hard disks along with the phrase "Legalise Marijuana". The original version appears to have been written by someone with experience only with IBM PC 360KB floppy drives, as it misbehaves on the IBM AT 1.2MB floppy, or on systems with more than 96 files in the root directory. On hard disks, the original master boot record is moved to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 7. On floppy disks, the original boot sector is moved to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3. Cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3 is the last directory sector on 360 Kb disks, and the author believed that it was "safe" to overwrite. The virus will "safely" overwrite the boot sector unless the root directory has more than 96 files. On higher capacity disks, such as 1.2 MB disks, the original boot sector may overwrite a portion of the directory. The virus is also known as Australian, Bloody!, Brunswick, Epbr, Hawaii, Hemp, Hong Kong, Lisa2, Marijuana, Monkey, Monkey 2, New Zealand, NOP, San Diego, Sanded, Sex Revolution, Smithsonian, Stonehenge, W-Boot, Whit, and Zapper. Since it is easy to patch the messages seen, there are many variants of Stoned. The virus has the string "Bloody! Jun. 4, 1...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5175808 ... Read more

Every family should have a copy of this book!
I bought book for my kids and they loved it!The author made the illustrations when he was a child, so it really encourages children to appreciate and develop their own talents and gifts.It is a wonderful story that teaches the value of making friends.It's fun, and silly, and brings lots of big smiles.After your kids read it they will all be pointing at penguins and saying look Mom, look Dad, there's Ping, and there's Pong. It reminds me a lot of the Dr. Seuss books that my parents read to me when I was a child. ... Read more
