"Dipshit Knight" has a nice ring to it.

"In Calculus, the point of diminishing marginal returns is the second derivative of the equation."
-Oracle RAC & Grid Tuning with Solid State Disk, pg. 18

I'm sorry, does not compute. The second derivative of a function is itself a function, not a point.

Dipshit.

*whimper* I think the only thing that actually made sense in that were phrases that in and of themselves don't mean much of anything.
I'm remembering something vaguely from CalcI about the points where f''(x) = 0, and that gives you... something. But apparently that wasn't applicable enough in even the fake real world that physics provides for it to really register :)
