A variety of countries, including the United States and China, but also India, Europe,... So Americans now think Europe is one country!? Have they become even dumber?!
But of course we are already talking about imaginary numbers so what happens when you do it from above (positive imaginary axis), that yields -1 * i * infinity and from down (negative imaginary axis), it yields i * infinity, and what happens when you hit is from any angle?
What can we us to discover (!) the answer: the polar coordinate system. arg(1/x) = arg(1) - arg(x) = 0 - arg(x) and |1/x| = |1|/|x| = |x|^-1. Thus lim x -> 0, 1/x, undefined or if you want to say something useful: lim x -> 0 for a certain angle [in the complex plane] yields an infinite radius, 180 degrees to the left [or right] of the [given] angle.
I must say that I don't totally agree, I am Dutch citizen born in the Federation of Malaysia and came to the Netherlands nine months and I still life in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands the secondary schools are split into three different levels. one of four years, one of five years and one of six. 60% are on the lowest kind of school, the four years of secondary school. You get (some) English there and MAYBE a little bit of French and German, on five-year-school you get French and German in the first three years, approximately 3-4 hours a week including homework and learning by heart (if you do your homework:P) and five years of English (also about 3-4 hours a week). In the six-year-school (which I am doing now) one gets six years of intensive English including literature and pronunciation, writing letters et cetera. and three years German and French, and three years of an language: French (so you get six years in total), German (idem), Greek, Latin, Spanish, Russian, Hebrew (in special cases).
Basically only the 'middle-class' and the 'upper-class' (although everybody can pay secondary school, university et cetera, you can still speak a bit of segregation of 'the classes') and the 'lucky proletarian' can speak French, German although German is easy for Dutch-speaking in terms of understanding and simple conversing, even without ever being taught because of the similarity. The 'cultural reasons' (i.e. World War II, World Championship Football lost finals et cetera) aren't used (anymore). But I have to agree, English is pretty well spoken and written in the Netherlands I must say although there is still a big difference in level (the level on the six-year-school is way higher than the level on the four-year-school, way higher). And there is a new development which makes the six-year-school have an ever higher advantage: it is the only which makes one eligible for university, and the universities are anglicizing, increasingly rapid. The English of the 'smarter' people is getting even better this way! which is of course a good thing.
About the row, I hain't heard about it before this article, it isn't on teletext, not in the papers, not anywhere. It seem to me it is a hoax (or at least some bits are not true) and a diplomatic row, I don't think so very improbable.
I am a bit offended by your remark on Dutch language, I absolutely do not agree, you can make a proper translation of 'the pain doesn't hurt': 'de pijn deert/raakt mij niet' 'het doet niet pijn' the first is more philosophical but it depends on context (and the first is about archaic). and I need to say 'nicht' is not a Dutch word, i.e., it is an GERMAN word, only German, It just isn't Dutch... I rest my case.

I did not read past the first setence of your comment. The last Nobel Peace prize was not given to Obama.
the evil bit.
Even Berners-Lee is new here!
Delaware, first to ratificate the constitution, first to have an US offshore wind power park.
What a briljant state!

They are, because they are there! else it would be 1.2 * 10^5!
tunnel vision for example.
In Russia there always is a twist... face the facts
