I\'m just gonna take that as a joke :-P

Or as a comment by a poor Windows XP user who definitely hasn\'t seen the light (aka Linux) yet.

Nope, it\'s not OS X.
This is a Linux desktop :D

2. Is the death sentence realistic in modern times? I think that for \"bad\" criminals, it is.

3. Who is the greater mind: Einstein or Davinci?

Post away, maybe if there are enogh posts and new topics, it could be multiple threads or a subforum.

1. I\'m not American, but I\'m going to give my opinion anyway :P
I think it should be allowed, but not obligated. If you don\'t beleive in God, why should you have to put your hand on the bible in court (to give just one example)?

2. No. I\'m against it. Who are you to judge who dies and who lives?

3. Hmm... I\'m gonna pass on this one ;-)

First of all, I think they don\'t exist ;-) But here\'s the theory...

Imagine the entire universe as a flat area, with every large object making the area curve around itself slightly (because of the gravity).
Now, a black hole is massive, and the area around it is curved a lot.
Now, suppose 2 black holes curve the area a lot, and the two curved parts come together.
That way, you could go from one black hole to another (through a worm hole).

Picture:

0.(3) + 0.(6) logically must be equal to 1 no matter what your philosopher tells you. I\'ve already mentioned that these numbers cannot be properly calculated on calculators, because of their infinity, so their answer of 0.(9) is wrong.


There is no insanity to math. Move on. Nothing else to see here.
well yeah using calculators i guess.. but ONLY on calculators (which are wacky anyway) is that an instece where \".9\" would equal one... outside of the box .9 is different from 1.00 and .98

also yeah what the hell does the meaning of the number one when dealing with thirds on only a CALCULATOR have to do traversing time? O.o

Foresteer, I think you misunderstood ;-)
We\'re not talking about 0.99.
We\'re talking about 0.99... (aka: 0.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999...99999 - the 9-s go on forever)

And I dunno how we got to this.
I think somebody tried to prove mathematics was often wrong, by stating that 0.99... doesn\'t equal 1.

 Even so, there is no one :P

You just don\'t get it, do you?

You CAN calculate things using 0.(6) and 0.(3)

0.(9) is one.
Let\'s do that again.
TELL me the error in the following logic:
9*0.(9) = 10*0.(9) - 1*0.(9) = 9.(9) - 0.(9) = 9
So, 9*0.(9) = 9
1*0.(9) = 1

That\'s just the way it is.
You know it\'s right, but you won\'t agree to it.
That\'s called \'refusing to accept reality\'.

I don\'t have a problem with philosophy, but stating things that are just bull faeces ( :P ) is not considered philosophy by me ;-)

(And by that, I mean: stating that 0.99... is not 1)

 Actually, no. It will never be one, from the simple reason it is an undetermined number. And what I just showed is a basic example from philosohpy, that shows nothing is how we believe it to be ;)
 And theoretically you can\'t do operations with that kind of numbers. What you\'ve just did are just approx. operations used in lower class grades.
 Now really, don\'t argue with this  8)

Nonsense ;-)
0.99... = 1
Me and Draklar just proved it.
And saying you can\'t do operations with that kind of numbers is nonsense as well!

Now, show me those other ways you have to prove mathematics wrong.

You failed the first test, try again :P

It doesn\'t matter \'who is putting in the most money\'. It matters that people are being helped!

Now, I just wish they could do a huge effort in Africa too, and get everybody over there some better living conditions  X( (Oh, and with \'they\', I mean everyone who can spare a tria :P )

Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) / Mining bug?
« on: January 08, 2005, 03:18:10 am »
I don\'t know if anybody noticed it yet, but in the mining areas, you can mine anywhere. Not just against the walls.
You can stand around in the grass, type \"/dig for gold\" and wait for your character to try and mine.

Isn\'t that a bit incorrect?  ;)

Oh, I don\'t live in the US ;-) I didn\'t know what 0.(9) meant ;-) In Belgium, we just write 0.99...
Sigh! I did ALL that work while I could have done it in such a simple way?  X(

(Scientist weighing the weight of a black hole... It\'s a lot, but not infinitely much)

Now, your argument is incorrect ;-)
You state nothing can escape the pull of a black hole:
actually, it\'s just light that\'s not fast enough to escape the pull of a black hole (well, plus anything slower than light).
So, theoretically, it\'s possible to escape the pull of a black hole by going faster than light (now, let\'s not start a discussion about the possibility of going faster than light ;-) But just in case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon)
