He was asleep last night and I crept into his room like I always do (I'm an IRS auditor, for God's sake!) and checked his computer history. As usual he's gone to another 37 different gay porn sites, but I don't mind.

So I look on his desk and see some paper and look a little harder -- it's an SAT pre-calculus review sheet!

Now, being a man of superior mathematical intellect, I reviewed my son's answers. They were all right!

Here's a couple:

"There are 3 routes from city A to city B. 4 routes from city B to city C. And 3 routes from city C to city D. If a driver must pass through city B and C exactly once, how many possible ways are there go get from city A to city D!?"

My son, CORRECTLY, answered E. 36.

"*Insert number line here* ( - infinity, -1] U [1, + infinity) is the domain of the line. Which of the following expressions describes the indicated values on the number line?"

Again, my son, CORRECTLY, answered D. |x| > 1 ... Well, it was greater than or equal to as the answer but I don't know how to type that!

"When the positive integer p is divided by 7, the remainder is 5. What is the remainder when 5p is divided by 7?"

Finally, my son, my proud loving child, correctly answered E. 4!

I don't care I don't like show offs :mad: and smart arse parents

To the OP:
STOP ATTENTION WHORING

To the OP:
STOP ATTENTION WHORING do not SHOUT please who are you addressing?

Who cares? There are a lot of smart people in the world, each one of them someone's son or daughter.

How old's your son? 36?

And anyone who diesn't password protect their computer aint smart...

Heeeeey, just because I password-protect my computer, use a proxy, have aluminum foil over my windows, and wear a tinfoil hat doesn't mean I'm paranoid. I am just not ready for my G-men overlords.

I have a similar problem, actually. I am in the process of digging a tunnel system that extends from my house to various points of interest. I don't want them to see me when I go outside. Of course, the aluminum over the windows and tin foil hat are necessities -- everybody should have them, not only those who are paranoid. But password-protecting your computer? That's for real wackos.

OP = original post(er). Super-Power was adressing the egocentric parent. yes I see now see post ten

i care. really, i do.

your with me then ........ they are very big headed about their geeky kidYes, absolutely. If they're being serious that is; it might be some random idiot making a poor attempt at trolling.

plus... its a bit weird for a parent to sneak through his kid's stuff... don't you think?

I'm doing that kind of stuff in Algebra 2.

Anyone who can't cover their tracks isn't that smart.

I definately wouldn't want my parents rifling through my vast history of gay-porn browsing.

I'm doing that kind of stuff in Algebra 2.

Yeah, that type of stuff might even be Pre-Algebra, not pre-Calculus.

Looking back at the sheet while my son is at his grandmother's, it says here:

"Pre-Calculus SAT Review I"

Yes well, the only way I could see those questions really being related to Pre-Cal is that you need to know them to be able to do Pre-Cal. Or something.

"Pre-Calculus SAT Review I"

So single-digit multiplication is now considered pre-calculus, in your opinion?

With that kind of parent? No, a pssword is just the first step to gain privacy. Deleting one's browser history would be the next smart step...

If you password-protect your computer, you are assuming that someone (your parent) will want to gain access to your computer and will be prevented from doing so by the password. So:


Any parent who wants to look at their son's computer is paranoid.
Any such parant who is prevented from looking at their son's computer will become even more paranoid.
If that parent gains access to their son's computer and sees that their son has deleted their browser history will become ultra-paranoid.


Or:


The parent is not paranoid, in which case their son is.


In either case, you should not password-protect your computer as no good will come of it.

If you want to know what pages your son has been visiting, ask him.
Everything else is a display of mistrust, overprotectiveness, and, as you said, paranoia. In the place of the son, I wouldn't want my paranoid father spying on my private life or even trying to control me.

Well, if you password-protect your computer, that means that either you or your father is paranoid (or both, of course).

Smart people delete individual files.

It's been a long time since I've taken pre-calc; but from what I remember, I recall sin/cos/tan, parabolas, hyperbolas, etc. And looking at this sheet, I don't see it -- thus, I'd say that the excercises on this worksheet are decidely not pre-calc.

I've bought a thing which makes my computer locked by fingerprint-ID. Is that paranoid?

Does this thread have any greater point or is it just an egotrip thread?

I've bought a thing which makes my computer locked by fingerprint-ID. Is that paranoid?

No, that's actually pretty cool. You should also get a retinal-scan one. Your parents can easily acquire your fingerprints.

Maybe this is some evil tax-dodger trying to make people hate the IRS even more.

I still haven't found one. Oh, I also have an elaborate system of locked safes (read: lockable boxes), each containing a key, the last one opening an empty box which used to have money in it. Is that paranoid, or just unneccesary?

The series of safes obviously offer no additional protection. If someone finds the first key, he/she can open all the boxes. Nonetheless, it is not unnecessary. A paranoid person will get frustrated opening box after box only to find that the last one contains nothing. Thus, it is a great anti-paranoid device. Good idea.

It's potentially a good anti-theft device, too. The theif gets caught up in open safe after safe and then by the time they realize the whole thing was pointless, you've already come home and bashed them over the head with a chair.

Why?

Why?
Because I wouldn't let my kid have internet, so I'd wonder how they got there...

Multiple choice testing....

Not really a true test of someones mathematical reasoning powers.

Because I wouldn't let my kid have internet, so I'd wonder how they got there...

Magic access to porn. It's common.

Let me tell you why my son is so smart!

You do realise that the OP doesn't actually tell us why he's smart, right?

Because he got 3 multiple-choice questions right on a pre-calculus review sheet?

That didn't actually involve pre-calculus.

Because obviously, by our common standards, widely accepted to be the only objective ones around being able to answer pre-cal questions correctly ( with a computer and internet access right there) is a sign of great intelligence.

Maybe this is some evil tax-dodger trying to make people hate the IRS even more.
that's my guess

That didn't actually involve pre-calculus.

Let's be fair. I mean, how many people would know what 3 * 3 * 4 is -- especially on a multiple-choice test! Who cares if it's pre-calculus or third grade multiplication?

If I were you, I'd have a word with your son about the gay porn. :eek:

Is your son Shqipes by any chance? Cause he keeps asking others to do his homework for him.

Y'know, this isn't so uncommon. I get this sort of thing from parents all the time. Personally, I wouldn't've bothered making a thread about it, but then again, I really think a few of the thread regulars are going a bit overboard in their responses.

Look, it's not like you've been cornered by some droolingly proud neighbourhood Dad for a half-hour child-worship session or anything.

Unclench.

I know the forums are for fun, but come on.

Okay, so ask the kid first, instead of just snooping through the room.

Dont knock the porn? What kind of parent would that be?
If the kid is a minor, he should not be allowed access to porn.
Nor should that type of behavior be condoned by silence from the parent.



Dad is okay with it?

Sure, lets teach our kids:
That it is okay to break the law, even minor ones that no one knows about.
That material of a mature nature is okay for minors.

Sorry just cant get myself to be light-hearted about it. I am a single father of 4, ranging from age 14 down to age 5. I love them, and have too much respect for them and their well-being as youths to allow that.

Once they are 18 they can view what they have a desire to view, but most definitely not while they are so young.

:confused:

Uhh... Yeah.
>_>

<_<

Moratonia:

At some point or other, a minor with internet access WILL look up porn. You might as well roll with it.

'Cause seeing nekkid people going at it will mutate your children's brains and turn them into blood thirsty criminals and druggies.

Honestly, what exactly is it about porn or heck, even plain nudity (OMFG! A bare breast!) that's supposed to be so damn harmful to youth? Seriously!

Porn's good. Okay, maybe it isn't exactly beneficial, but I don't personally think that it has any serious detrimental effects.

hmm i think it could objectify women in the eyes of the child
but it depends on how old they are and how aware of the world they are... a 13 year old probably isn't going to be swayed by porn in that way as much as, say, a 10 year old

If you dont let them look at porn, they'll make their own.
Well, they'll probably do that anyway. You know, most people lose their viginity at 16.
I, peronally, find porn boring, but i dont think it has harmed me in any way. If I find it offensive, I stop looking. Now, if someone was FORCING your children againt their will to look at porn, then thats obvoiusly a bad thing. Kids grow up faster these days. Its a fact. Deal with it. Your kids are going to have sex. your oldest could very well be having sex already.

I don't think that's going to happen in this case, given that the child was looking at gay porn. :D

As far as the rest of the world, you have a point. Obsessive porn (Usage?) can't be healthy. It's like drinking, have a wank in moderation!

(Note that I was not inciting people to masterbate in the moderation forum)

Of course the most important thing in our worthless lives is knowing that your son is a genius.

"*Insert number line here* ( - infinity, -1] U [1, + infinity) is the domain of the line. Which of the following expressions describes the indicated values on the number line?"

"When the positive integer p is divided by 7, the remainder is 5. What is the remainder when 5p is divided by 7?"

Finally, my son, my proud loving child, correctly answered E. 4!

well, we already know you are lying about being an auditor, so why would we believe you about this?

It's not like calculus is that hard anyway. Besides, I doubt that if your son is very bright letting you have access to his computer if he is browsing gay porn. My 4 year old knows how to clean up her computer and how to password protect her login............:rolleyes:

One of the children of one of the maths teachers at school put passwords on the user accounts on his computer, so only she could access them XD

She was about 4 :D

Nah, really he's just getting off on his kid's porn, and too stupid to know how to answer those questions himself, so he's so proud of his kid for helping him find porn sites and for being smarter than his idiot father.

so your son is sleeping and you go in his room? and he doesn't wake up from the sound of his computer?
and if you don't mind that your son is looking at gay porn, why do you check his computer? to see if he wasn't evading taxes?

No, that's actually pretty cool. You should also get a retinal-scan one. Your parents can easily acquire your fingerprints.

Parents can also easily get your eyes *twilight zone music*

There was a case like that a couple of years ago. A father saw his kid looking at porn, and carved out one of his eyes as punishment.

Those doesn't sound like the best websites around. Your son needs to do some serious researching :D

Too bad, he's too young for me. I'm looking for a smart boyfriend, but under 20 just doesn't cut it.

That's definitely not pre-calculus. Pre-calculus is trigonometry, conic sections, polar coordinates...
Besides, I'm taking calculus now. And I can assure you that knowing how to interpret unions or intersections of sets is hardly related. As for basic multiplication/division, I suppose you could call it "pre-calculus," although I would personally add a few more pre's on there.

It's been a long time since I've taken pre-calc; but from what I remember, I recall sin/cos/tan, parabolas, hyperbolas, etc. And looking at this sheet, I don't see it -- thus, I'd say that the excercises on this worksheet are decidely not pre-calc.

Is that Precalculus in the "special" school? The basics of the first three trig functions and the equations of the basic types of graphs are algebra I/II stuff.

Anyone who password-protects their computer is paranoid.

Not if his parents check his history...
