Your counter example also applies to my 2000 nissan frontier, the 2007 nissan frontier, and several late model subarus I have seen. Just to bolster your counter-example, that's all.:)
My side point was that if they ask which countries the data WILL be in, and Google responds with which countries it WON'T be in, the reasonable response would be to assume it MAY be in ALL OTHER countries. Then, just compare that list with your no-no list. Sometimes it's easier to list out the negation.:)
Google was not willing to provide ITS with a list of countries to which the University's data could be sent [i.e., replicated], but only a list of about 15 countries to which the data would not be sent.
Okay, so did ITS compose a list of countries it felt were unacceptable (along with logical reasons for why)? And if so, which countries, specifically, were on ITS' list that weren't on Google's list? Serious, I'd love to know which countries Yale has a beef with that Google doesn't.
Bingo on the standard thing. Even riving knives (not splitters, although those too) aren't considered "standard." I think by the end of the year all new tablesaws will be required to include riving knives, making that "standard," but sawstop definitely is NOT a standard.
Unbelievably stupid indeed. I see Jedis take off their hoods all the time in the movies. Why can't he? The only force-user who's adamant about keeping his hood on is the Emperor, in which case you'd best throw this guy down a shaft now and save us all a lot of trouble.
The real problem is that if you've got, say, a D20, and you get it to roll a 1 a large number of times, the ones will have all been rolled out. After that it'll have a hard time producing more 1's.
Personally I like what I call "dice random" where there IS the possibility that you can roll the same number an infinite amount of times in a row.
Okay, I want all 1's, an infinite number of times in a row.
Probability of one 1: 1/6. Okay Probability of n 1's: (1/6)^n. Okay lim((1/6)^n) as n->infinity: 0. Wait, I thought you said there was a chance this could work!
P.S. Who supplies your dice that can survive an infinite number of rolls? You could make a killing selling those to casinos. Once, anyhow.
I, too, have designed a flawless spam filter. It works under similar principles, will filter 100% of incoming spam, will generate 0 false positives, and it's super easy to use: if(is_spam(message)) { delete_message(message); }
Ah, well, when the CEO-chap said "You've broken the screen" I assumed that meant he'd broken the screen.;)
And lots of things still work after being broken. Screens like that are one of them. It's just that as the breakage increases, the usability decreases. I'm sure that if he managed to crack it by hitting it on the corner of a fish tank, he could continue to break it further by continuing his previous actions. In the long run, the screen would break to the point of non-usability.
I have a friend with an old iphone. I think it was run over several times by a car. There is not a single piece of glass on the display that is larger than 3mm in diameter. They're all still attached due to the glue used to adhere it, however. It's just a horribly fractured display. It still works somehow, display and touch functionality, but I don't think anyone would go so far as to claim it's "not broken.";)
The key to breakage here being that when they said "You can hammer a nail with it!" they didn't mean, "You can hammer a nail with the screen"
Screens will always be the weak point until we get that transparent aluminum out there to shield it while keeping it visible. And even then, you know, that little display would still be susceptible to heat. I have a hunch a lighter would have had similar success in destroying the screen.
Pretend-inciting a virtual cyber riot? Why, that hypothetically violates some possible public safety laws! This guy had better watch out, he might go to meta-jail for his semi-crimes!

Now that you're a little bit less of a moron, please go on with your day.
Too bad it's not similarly easy to make someone less of a pompous dick when trying to communicate. :/

Reading comprehension fail.
Like I said to the other guy: way to break the chain. You're jsut not any fun. :/
Way to break the chain. You're just not any fnu.
Comma goes inside the quotes.
It's the typographical equivalent of physics 101: typos can not be created or destroyed; they can only change from.
Exactly. Otherwise...
This just in: receiving a ping from a restricted computer is OMGILLEGAL ...

But then it would be incorrectly conjugated, i.e. "This sentences no verb" would be correct.
Should probably sue Ryobi for not inventing some sort of DrillStop technology that would halt the drill the moment it contacts hair.

I most certainly am not the one who brought infinity into this. Read the GP again:
...there IS the possibility that you can roll the same number an infinite amount of times in a row.
(bolded emphasis mine)
All I did was take a crazy claim and rebuff it with an equally crazy claim. How come everybody wants to rag on me and not him? :P
Wait, so is our group conclusion here that the impossible is, in fact, impossible? Because I'm okay with that :P
Of course, the post I was responding to quite clearly said that one can roll an infinite number of times, so...why aren't you correcting *him*? :P
IF one could roll a die an infinite number of times, THEN the odds of any predefined infinite sequence appearing would be 0? Does that suffice? :P
The real problem is that if you've got, say, a D20, and you get it to roll a 1 a large number of times, the ones will have all been rolled out. After that it'll have a hard time producing more 1's.
Fact!

Okay, I want all 1's, an infinite number of times in a row.
Probability of one 1: 1/6. Okay
Probability of n 1's: (1/6)^n. Okay
lim((1/6)^n) as n->infinity: 0. Wait, I thought you said there was a chance this could work!

23 comments about a 1 gigabit home connection, and not one of them has even mentioned the word "porn"?!?
No worries, I got this...
Man, you guys are slipping...
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Apparently you never took the time to visit any geocities pages back in the day...
But it's right there in the headline! In quotes! It must be true!

But seriously, AT&T is going to try to sue him. :(
