Math Student's Love Letter - Very funny

My Dear Love,

Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in
trigonometric lane. There I saw you with your cute circular
face, conical nose and spherical eyes, standing in your
triangular garden.

Before seeing you, my heart was a null set, but when a
vector of magnitude (likeness) from your eyes at a
deviation of theta radians made a tangent to my heart,
it differentiated.

My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots,
which only you can solve by making good binary relation
with me. The cosine of my love for you extends to infinity.
I promise that I should not resolve you into partial functions
but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits
from zero to infinity.

You are as essential to me as an element to a set. The
geometry of my life revolves around your acute personality.
My love, if you do n ot meet me at parabola restaurant on
date 10 at sunset, when the sun is making an angle of
160 degrees, my heart would be like a solved polynomial
of degree 10. With love from your higher order derivatives
of maxima and minima, of an unknown function.

Yours ever loving,
Pythagoras
De-Morgan's Law,
opposite to Guass house.

10 Rules for creating an Email Signature in 2010 from CIO

Hi Friends, i got a good article in CIO.com,  i wanted to share that with you all... Here it is...


Rule #1 The Golden Rule: If you are important, you don't need an email signature. In fact, you may not even want every person you email to have alternate methods of contacting you. It is likely that none of us falls into that category, so I will move on...

Rule #2 Keep it short and sweet. Three lines that give your name, title, and how to get in touch with you is all that is necessary. Resist the urge to add your full address, home, work and cell phone numbers or a bullet list of your firm's services and products.

Rule #3 Putting your email address in your signature says "I am an amateur". It's passe and time for this age old practice to go to the way side. If I just got an email from you I already have your email address. Assume I will make proper use of the reply button.

Rule #4 Ditch the random quotes and animated gifs. Pre-2000 this was a great way for you to show your "flair". In fact, AOL and other early webmail providers had built in tools to encourage this kind of activity. Add a link to your twitter page instead. Be creative.

Rule #5 Social Network links are encouraged! Every email sent is an opportunity for you to build out your connections and followers. People will click on them. Everyone wants to expand their network. Linkedin and Twitter are obvious "musts" and if you keep your facebook clean enough for the public eye then go all out.

Rule #6 Auto-attaching a vcard is annoying. If I need it, I will ask for it. You can send it once and we will be done with the whole transaction.

Rule #7 It's time to stop embedding logos and using HTML. This pains me as much as anyone else but the novelty has worn off. Apparently we aren't impressing anyone and there is a good chance it won't display as intended for the recipient anyway.

Rule #8 Don't manually add a confidentiality clause. If the company you work for is big enough the IT Department will add it automatically. If the information you are sending is sensitive or confidential then you probably shouldn't be emailing it anyway. It is not a substitute for a well written NDA and it won't make you look important..

Rule #9 Stop telling me I don't care about the environment if I print your email. If I need to print the thing I must have a good reason. It's rude and possibly even offensive to a potential customer. Politics and business don't mix well.

Rule #10 Take all this with a grain of salt, rules were made to be broken. I am sure a lot of people will disagree with
