42 is the product of the first three terms of Sylvester's sequence; like the first four such numbers it is also a primary pseudoperfect number.
It is the sum of the totient function for the first eleven integers.
It is a Catalan number.
It is the reciprocal of a Bernoulli number.
It is conjectured to be the scaling factor in the leading order term of the "sixth moment of the Riemann zeta function".
In base 10, this number is a Harshad number and a self number, while it is a repdigit in base 4 (as 222).
The eight digits of pi beginning from 242,422 places after the decimal point are 42424242.
The first digit (4) taken to the power of the second digit (2) is equal to the second digit (2) taken to the power of the first digit (4): 42 = 24 = 16. It follows clearly that 24 exhibits the same characteristic, and in fact 24 is the only other two-digit non-repdigit number that does. (All two-digit repdigit numbers exhibit this characteristic.)
The number 42 appears in various contexts in Christianity. There are 42 generations (names) in the Gospel of Matthew's version of the Genealogy of Jesus; it is prophesied that for 42 months the Beast will hold dominion over the Earth (Revelation 13:5); 42 men of Beth-azmaveth were counted in the census of men of Israel upon return from exile (Ezra 2:24); God sent bears to maul 42 of the youths who mock Elisha for his baldness (2 Kings 2:23), etc.
42 is the number with which God creates the Universe in Kabalistic tradition.
Actually, you should be shocked. True, a politician is never able to fully implement his program(nature of democracy), but the scale of deceit is huge. I don't understand why people still believe in this deeply flawed system. If a democratic system doesn't do anything the people want, you should consider abolishing it right away.
But here come the Churchill quotists: "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
I honestly seriously doubt this. The current democratic systems all have the same problem. They are all olichargies. Now, this doesn't raise my eyebrow for a second. For the Iron Law of Olichargy pretty much never fails to implement itself. The fact is that if you chose a select number of representatives and you don't have personal contacts with them, they will naturally form groupes. And since elected bodies of representatives often wield the most theoretical power in a nation, it is natural that these groups will be very powerful. And the fact is that power often corrupts so now you have corrupt groups of people with power. The number differs in each country but in the US they made it tricky with 2 major powerblocks. So, now you have 2 big corrupt blocks of power. You are basically strong-armed to vote for either because third-party guarantees that your vote will actually be a vote for the winner. Sure, democracy can work. But only in the country up to the size of Liechtenstein where everybody has a big chance of knowing a representative. After that, it's pretty much power politics. And people become highly desillusioned with the people in power. Which will form apathy. Which is the death-blow for every democracy. Sad really.
Democracy is dead. Always has been, always will be.
And guess what, you can't expect them to. I do not expect them to understand the inner workings of the internet or the www ot html. You can't ask me to have basic knowledge of particle physics or advanced chemistry. It doesn't matter if I am a judge or not. If that was the case, the requirements to be a judge would be ridicilously high. So high, that no normal person could do it. I expect judges to know their way when it comes to the law and common knowledge things(geography, calculations etc.). For the rest I consider impartial(so no "experts" for hire) experts neccesairy.
To most people, someone who understands the windows registry or how to set up a firewall is an expert. Well, that's funny because nobody understands how the windows registry works. Not even MS's employees who have built the damn thing.
This sounds very interesting. I highly suggest putting fixed cannons on the back of your transportation vehicle and firing them in a steady interval. Any other way way would be pure insanity!
I am intrigued by transport using the power of nature. I myself am working on moving a ship by "catching" the wind with a large upright "surface" altough I don't exactly know how I am going to contruct this "surface". I was personally thinking about using a soft fabric and bind it to a pole. I am also testing if multiple surfaces work better than one.
I'll keep you informed if I continue to the next fases of my daring contruction plan.
No. There are a few things I am pretty sure I know. Math. 1 + 1 = 2 - I'm pretty sure that is absolutely true, but I am sure a mathematician could give me an example of where it isn't. Yes, Office Excel.
If you can't grow anything, grow weeds. Why, do you ask? Simple. They are tough sun of a guns. I am now testing the hardiness of some weeds from my garden. I devoid them from light and water but the tough suckers simply won't die. And I have been doing this for more than a week.
Officials assume the crash was caused by either mechanical failure or human error As opposed to an enemy attack? I mean, the pilot was safe(so they already have heared him out) and I think we can safely rule out sabotage or an enemy attack. This seems entirely obvious.
I have been and still am an avid player of the game Morrowind, the predecessor of Oblivion. The game had many flaws but I still love it and I am still amazed how people can make such a rich game. One of the bigger complaints about Morrowind was that the enemies levels don't scale. At a certain level, you're pretty much invincible. But anyone who doesn't try to powerplay his way up will probably have a great time with this game, roleplaying different people in a complex world of political intrigue and backstabbing. And yeah, the modding community is one of the most amazing feats of the game. And yes I have played Oblivion and I hated the level scaling. There is nothing as annoying as random thiefs attacking you with ubershiny armor around every corner. Oblivion improved the game compared to Morrowind on many different levels but in my opinion it misses a hart.

Bummer if your name is Rosencrantz or Kippelstein. Names tell more things than you would think.
It has many interesting features. Namely:

It is the reciprocal of a Bernoulli number.

Yeah mean, bif hon and krosper.
True, true.

Weeds, because they simply don't die.
Please don't let EA screw up another good game studio.
Have you ever wondered how radicalism came to be? From reactions to people like you.
