See it's like saying Viagra is not a way to help you get an erection; it's a way to cure hypertension. You can shout and yell, but people are still going to take it before trying to get their 60 year old happy sausage attentive.
I'll assume you are talking about the Riemann sphere. In this case infinity is not a number, it doesn't obey most of the field properties.
While he is assuming the "101 Calculus" this is also the model that is repeatedly used throughout maths. If you are talking about the real numbers and fields in general then 0 is bad.
It's quite likely those mathematicians who you talk about are the regular fruits trying to do this sort of stuff.
How do they help you get off smoking? The physical cravings are still there. Nicotine chewing gum is something to help you quit cigarettes, it helps deal with the physical craving while removing some of the side effects. Something that removes very few of the side effects while removing the subject of craving will not do very much.
This is like making someone not addicted to heroin by sticking them with a needle full of saline every few hours. What the fuck good will it do?

Superbowl XXXVII

WTF does that make me? I'm a foreigner who's doing a math PhD, and yep I just spent the last few hours drinking in front of the Superbowl. Am I really going to fail my PhD now?
I misread your point about the electrovalencies part, true my point is completely nonsensical. It is true, magnetising the hull might not be a serious problem.
It just seems like an overly complex solution to what is not a difficult problem. How are we going to attach these massive ships to the dock. How about giant electromagnets? The benefits appear only incremental, but seem to be quite expensive. These magnets are surely going to eat alot of juice and be expensive to begin with.
My problem with fusion is that two chemists claimed that they could do it. I agree fusion will one day be possibe, whether it will be useful I don't know, but thee two claiming they could do it was really bad.
Read my post and the parent properly, we aren't talking about saving 1 hour per ship.
You have a lot of faith in scientific/technological research don't you? Read about all the incredibly stupid things that have been done. The chemists who achieved nuclear fusion, the mambo chicken, etc.
Re your last paragraph: the problem is even more serious then, you will spoil this already existing magnetism.
I remembe when I was up there as a uni student we were "encouraged" (obviously not seriously) to go around and break some of the old lamps. The reason for this was as they broke/went out they would be replaced with the mercury ones.
It would be silly to rebuild it where it is though, far better to move it away from people. It's not like there's no space. You could put it 2-3 hours away from Canberra and still have it almost as convenient for people from Melbourne and Sydeny, admitedly not for the ANU people, though.
If it takes you 2 days to move a ship to port, who cares about the 40 minutes it takes to tie it up? It's a tiny saving 40 minutes in 48 hours.
There are other problems of having 1 Tesla magnets. They attract shit, you are going to have to make sure any ferrous metals are nowhere near the magnets at any time during docking, loading and all that. What about the affects on the boat, sensitive equipment, etc. Also the possibility of magnetism the hull (uhh - captain we're still pointing north) and other problems.
It's a bad idea, I can't believe someone got funding for it. Yeah, sure ropes are primitive and simplistic. But if you are going to go to all this effort to save, maybe, an hour then I am going to say it's a waste of time.
That and it'll mess round with everyone's voice in the area.
Imagine the scene with 40 big burly guys hulking ropes around, trying to moor the boat the old way after a critical leak. All the while screaming at each other in those voices, hell this scene alone almost justifies the project.
You don't think the body uses all the stuff that comes with the vitamins? Or is that just cruft that should be flushed out. Aside from the basic energy requirements, which I'm sure there's a minimum weight that can provide 2000 calories.
There's protein, the RDA is 50 gramms. While this provides about 20-30% of your required calories you still have to add these. As a result your "pill" is going to hve to be at least the size of a regular chocolate bar.
A pill is impossible, a bar that weighs 100-150 grams would be quite easy.
Awesome, rant of the day. Maybe excessivley homophobic, I'm not anti-homophobic; it's just you may have gone too far. It's starts of pro-M$, which is strong and then just goes from strength to strength.

This is precisely the reasib I don't have Windows installed at home. I gave up on windows after spending quite some time to get everything working and being unable to. It then took me half the time to get it all going in Linux.
The DVD could play back, but no sound. In fact no sound, period.
The time I spent in Linux was far mor rewarding, becuase rather than spending time trying to figure out what little thing was stopping the "magic" of Microsoft from working, I instead spent the time getting little bits to work. One feels like an achievement the other a time sap.
Most actions have a degree of cruelty. Many of them completely innocent. This is the "unduly" reference.
The fact is, for the moment ignoring whether the venom causes pain to the animal, the procedures being performed on the animals are ones that many people in the world undergo voluntarily and reguarly. The pain and cruelty of these is thus not very high.
As for whether the venom causes pain I don't know, it could be true - and if it is the amount of pain and such would impact upon the cruelty of this action.
I don't believe there are viable alternatives and you haven't provided any. Any equine allergy would prevent the use of this anitvenom and there are people out there with this allergy. It's not every second person, but it's also not rare. This , and the inverse situation, justifies using both methods.
The reason I replied initially was the all to common knee jerk reaction of people to any sort of animal testing. I agree that some animal testing is inappropriate - how peopl can still justify cosmetics testing I do not know - for medical purposes I think it is hard to argue against. In particular if we are talking about a life saving drug. Too many people seem prepared to take all that comes from modern science, but not be prepared to allow it to work. The extreme animals rights groups are in this category.
Saving human life with, I believe, no better alternative. It doesn't seem unduly cruel to the animals either. Hate to think how many shots I've had and I did used to donate blood (mad cow disease). So none of this seems that cruel to me and it saves human life.
And yes I do value human life more than an animals. Humans will continue to benefit from the misery of animals, just like lions, sharks, snakes, seals, dolphins, bears, tigers. In fact any animal that finds itself not on the bottom of the food chain.
I also think this more a solution to the problem of horse allergies, this gives an alternative. Now if you are allergic to both it's still bad - but that's less likely.
I just think inventing something that can only go about 15 miles and at a bit over walking speed is probably duplicating something most of the world can do. WALKING.
Those that can't walk have had their problem solved and they usually wouldn't want to be standing anyway.
Not every new idea is a good one and if everyone who disagrees with a new idea is unimaginative. Then we should hope that most people are unimaginative.

The same could be said of an Apollo capsule.
Sun vs PC keyboards. I feel your pain. I spend half my life hitting the CAPS key.
That is arithmetic. It is akin to maths in the same way that learning to write the alphabet is like shakespeare
Would that be like or not like websites that require flash?
You would think that the same thing that would go for the website would also go for the domaing name.

There were research telescopes there, not just old ones.

Bigger issues than several thousand tonnes of boat floating away and into god knows what?
OK, I'm sure they will have ropes, but I think you are downplaying the consequences of a mooring system failing.
That and it'll mess round with everyone's voice in the area.
Imagine the scene with 40 big burly guys hulking ropes around, trying to moor the boat the old way after a critical leak. All the while screaming at each other in those voices, hell this scene alone almost justifies the project.
Thankyou for making my point better than I could ever hope. Wonderful what knowledge can do for you.

I've had to adapt to both, I use both suns and other. I need to buy a unix keyboard for PC, because of the CAPS/CTRL switch, it kills me.

I'm merely invoking my right to call you a lazy bastard when you use one.
I do have the right to tell you you should walk and not be lazy, you have the right to ignore me.
Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing isn't it? When you can find the law that says I can't tell you that you should walk, do tell.
Now passing a law against it, that's a different matter.
I just think inventing something that can only go about 15 miles and at a bit over walking speed is probably duplicating something most of the world can do. WALKING.
Those that can't walk have had their problem solved and they usually wouldn't want to be standing anyway.
