On Chaser season 2 is labeled as "stalled" and I was wondering if that's the same thing as a hiatus or if it means something else.

a homework problem.
Boy A is thinking of whether to drive or fly to a place 1000 miles away.
Calculate the possibility of Boy A killed on a 1000 mile trip by car or plane, know that there are 180 mil cars and 250 mil people in the US, each vehicle drives 15000 miles per year, an average American travels 1800 miles per year by plane, and Boy A is an average American.
i think these data are not enough to work on. but since there is no correction and the hw is due tomorrow so...help!

I agree with you; it's impossible to answer this question with this amount of information.
You would need to know the odds of collision, how many people there are in a car (well, this you could figure out from the information provided) or a plane, and how high a percentage of accidents is fatal. Your only chance of answering this question is to discard any ideas of empirical chance, and assume that all chances are entirely statistical.
You could, however, assume the chance of two cars colliding is 50%; since this question doesn't seem to take empirical chances into consideration. The chance that his car will have an accident is (1/2) . (1/180.000.000); the chance that his car will have an accident with another car is (1/2) . (1/180.000.000) . cPr(n=179.999.999, k=1).
Again assume that the chance of dying in an accident is 50%.
Each car has 25/18=1.4, so 2 people in it. The chance of Boy A dying is (1/2); the chance of the the other person dying is also (1/2). Whether the second person lives or dies is irrelevant to the question so there are two possible ways in which Boy A can die; one in which the second person lives, and one in which the second person dies. The chance of Boy A dying and Person B dying is (1/2)^2; the chance of Boy A dying and Person B living is the same; so the chance of Boy A dying in either way is 2 . (1/2)^2=0.5
So, the chance of Boy A dying in an accident with another car is (1/2)^2 . (1/180.000.000) . cPr(n=179.999.999, k=1).
Each car drives 15.000 miles per year, the trip is 1000 miles; so, the question is "what is the chance Boy A will die in an accident with another car within 1000 miles?".
First you need to calculate in how many ways you can drive 1000 miles in a span of 15.000 miles; so, nCr(n=15.000, k=1000). The chance of Boy A taking any one of these intervals is 1/nCr(n=15.000, k=1000).
Limiting ourselves to only measure in miles with no digits after the comma, we can calculate that the chance of Boy A dying at any point in the 1000-mile interval is 1/nCr(n=1000, k=1).
So, the chance of Boy A dying in an accident with another car on a 1000-mile journey is (1/2)^2 . (1/180.000.000) . cPr(n=179.999.999, k=1) . 1/nCr(n=15.000, k=1000) . 1/nCr(n=1000, k=1).
Note: I was too lazy to go get my graphic calculator; so, I didn't check, and there may well be mistakes in here. I have no clue about the plane though.
I hope this is at least somewhat helpful.

In MLA, when you are doing in text citations, and you cite a source from a the same periodical twice but in completely different parts of the paper and in completely different contexts, should you include the citation twice, or just once, or what?
For example, once sentence is a "quote" (Smith). And then completely different sentence, some fancy transitions and bullshitting. Then another sentence in regards to same research (Smith).
Mind you, there'd be like 6 pages of text instead of that one sentence between citations. I don't know if that matters or not, since I DON'T GET MLA.
I wonder if anyone will tell me before I have to turn my research in. 😮

I believe that you would include the parenthetical citation again; The citation goes at the end of a direct quote, and also at the end of paragraphs that you have taken ideas from. You can always check Purdue Owl.

MLA is super lax so you could probably even get away without the ideas bit. Basically at the end of direct quotes. Further information from the same source in the same paragraph does not necessarily need to be cited, but that depends to some extent on the professor (some like page number inclusions, and if you have, say 'Smith 152' as a citation and quote from page 43, you may need an additional citation for that factoid.)
General rule of thumb: when it doubt, cite. It's far better to have too many than too few. Anything that isn't common knowledge should have some sort of citation to begin with anyway, though subjectivity rules a lot of that out.

This new 10bit video format that is buzzing around is really getting me confused; Most anime subs I downloaded use this format, causing my video playback to run with strange pixilated blotches on it. When I update it with k-lite codecs, I tried to convert the MKV files to MP4 files using Xvid4PSP ver. 5, but it is not working, not even with the newer version of Xvid4PSP. I need help, a lot of subbers use 10bit so I'm pretty screwed if everyone uses it.

You're not screwed if you didn't feel like you'd die if you didn't watch your anime on anything other than your PC?

Um, not citing the ideas is plagiarism, so I'd suggest you don't try it.

I would rather take my anime to go, than watch it on the PC.
