I am the God of Hellfire

All the places I look seem to be about either laptop types (too broad) or specific laptop models (too specific). Where can I find a decent comparison between the actual manufacturers (Dell, Toshiba, Apple, Acer, etc.)?
Cost is only part of the question, I would also like to know which manufacturers in general will offer certain features.

That is a difficult task. Every manufacturer has its pros and cons. A particular model can only be compared based on the specs of a similar model from another manufacturer. Then comes build quality, design, brand popularity, price etc.

Make up your own required configuration, like processor, ram, graphics, hdd etc. Then find out models from different manufacturers with your set of hardware. Then finally compare them.

Hope this helps…

The wikipedia article is trivial nonsense. The wikipedias "comparison test" has a proof which, as far as I can tell, makes use of the comparison to prove the comparison.
Saying that a_n < b_n and therefore that A_n < B_n is obvious and intuitive, but by no means rigorous.

Consider using A_n < B_n

Here is the link that proves the direct comparison test… http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCwQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fplanetmath.org%2Fencyclopedia%2FProofOfLimitComparisonTest2.html&ei=oHPZTvfGB8XL0QHR8ajZDQ&usg=AFQjCNFgmxooNQif6DyVOzD3mg9jUab5MA&sig2=IJtj99zYJEgC-ElpZZfGdg

Good luck!

Russia overall is considered to be a developing country, and the UN ranks it at 66, so on a similar level as Malaysia.

However, Russia is a big country, and Moscow is undoubtedly the wealthiest part.

How would you say Moscow compares in wealth, development and standard of living in comparison to major first world cities around the world?

Moscow (Russian: Москва́, tr. Moskva) is the capital, the most populous city, and the most populous federal subject of Russia. The city is a major political, economic, cultural, scientific, religious, financial, educational, and transportation centre of Russia and the continent. Moscow is the northernmost city on Earth to have a population above 10,000,000, the most populous city in Europe, and the sixth largest city proper in the world. Its population, according to the preliminary results of the 2010 census, is 11,514,330. Based on Forbes 2011, Moscow had 79 billionaires, displacing New York as the city with the greatest number of billionaires.

Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia. In the course of its history the city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Soviet Union. Moscow is the site of the Moscow Kremlin, an ancient fortress that is today the residence of the Russian President and of the executive branch of the Government of Russia. The Kremlin is also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in Moscow.

The city is served by an extensive transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railroad terminals, and the Moscow Metro, second only to Tokyo in terms of ridership and recognised as one of the city’s landmarks due to the rich and varied architecture of its 182 stations.

Over time, Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), The Whitestone One (Белокаменная), The First Throne (Первопрестольная), The Forty Forties (Сорок Сороков). In old Russian the word "Сорок" (forty) also meant a church administrative district, which consisted of about forty churches. The demonym for a Moscow resident is Moskvitch, rendered in English as Muscovite.

The series is (n+1) / ((n)(n^-1))

What do you use as a comparison?
The n^-1 is supposed to be n^(1/2) . My mistake.

(n + 1) / ((n)(n^(1/2))
= (n + 1) / (n^(3/2))
= n/(n^(3/2)) + 1/(n^(3/2))
= n^(-1/2) + n^(-3/2) > n^(-1/2)

Does n^(-1/2) converge?
By the integral test, n^(1/2) converges iff ∫(x^(-1/2))dx from 1 to ∞ is finite.
∫x^(-1/2)dx from 1 to ∞
= 2x^(1/2) from 1 to ∞
= lim_{a -> ∞} of 2(a^(1/2)) – 2(1^(1/2))
= ∞.
As the integral does not converge, n^(-1/2) does not converge.
Thus, as n^(-1/2) < n^(-1/2) + n^(-3/2), the latter also diverges by the comparison test.

I have to write an comparison/contrast essay and I have no ideas where to begin. I’m trying to think about food in general, but my mind is blank. Help please?

Eat to live, or live to eat.
