uh no, you need 3 points to define a plane in 3d, and 4 to define a hyperplane in 4d. A hyperplane is 3d infinite "block". These pictures represent the intersections of such hyperplanes with certain 4d shapes.
To make a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster using Terran ingredients:
Take the liquid contained in a 200 ml bottle of EverClear to remind you that your head will be clear forever if you drink too many Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, and that your brain will clear of anything soon after you start drinking some, if not before.
Into it, slowly pour a 750 ml bottle of Bombay Sapphire to remind you of the marvelous beauty of the old Santraginean seas, or an equal amount of Jeremiah Weed in acknowledgement of what has happened to the Santraginean Seas and their lifeforms.
Now add 750 ml of Cold Wild Turkey, letting it run into the mixture as we run through life to remind us of all the lifeforms we meet and experience while hitchhiking through the galaxy.
Speedily stirring, add 375 ml of Herradua Tequila, mixing it in to commemorate the galactic hitchhikers who died of pleasure among the vapors and gasses in the marshes of Fallia.
Over the bowl of a silver spoon, let flow 1 liter of rum in memory of the waterfalls and their glorious rainbows encountered on your journeys through the galaxy of life.
Next, drop in the worm found in a bottle of Musquil, watching it dissolve into the mixture. If the bottom falls out and the worm survives, drink at your own risk.
Finally, sprinkle into the mixture some Gatorade to commemorate the lifeforms which have vanished and are becoming extinct, both sentient and non-sentient, especially those most in need of aid.
If this many Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters are too many for the number of people you think you are, mix together the following amounts of ingredients as described above for a single serving.
1 oz. EverClear
4 oz. Bombay Sapphire or Jeremiah Weed
4 oz. Cold Wild Turkey
2 oz. Herredura Tequila
5 oz. Rum
1 worm from bottle of Mezcla
2 oz. Gatorade
This makes one approximately 18 ounce Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. The reason this drink seems so large is that Zaphod Beeblebrox has two heads, so when he created it, it came out to 9 ounces per head, so both were happy.
Before drinking, eat one olive to create a sweetness in it which is not there.
Drink very, very extremely carefully at your own risk, and remember where your towel is (if you can).
My point is that a turing machine is also turing complete, yet it cannot show graphics.
Turing completeness has to do with algorithmical capabilities, not real-life interfacing.
A turing machine can't put pixels on a screen either. Nor can it output audio. It can put some things on a tape, which can then be interpreted as the concatenation of lines on a screen, or the waveform of a Britney spears record, but whether or not your computer is a turing machine has noting to do with it.
I don't think it was world-wide.
Neither do I, but the bible is pretty clear on the subject. And I don't think an omniscient god thinks of the world as the immediate surroundings of his main characters.
Sure, there may have been a terrible flood, but I think there is reasonable doubt about the possibility of a flood that covers ALL mountains.
As you say there may be some historic truth in holy books, but what I object to is people taking these books literally, and denying that these stories may be exagerated and mystified.
Why would so many people believe something as preposterous as the world-wide flood actually happened about 5000 years ago or so if it wasn't in the bible?
Of course, it would be more useful to cover arizona and colorado with a lake at the moment.

Actually, when the first example in an introductionary book on a programming language isn't hello world, I usually throw it away. Some things are just sacred.
Only exception is "Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell" by Richard Bird, which starts with the expression "42". I can live with that.
Maybe it's because tech designers are more anxious to be creative than to produce things that users like?"
No, every user wants something else in the new release, and whatever subset of wishes you choose to implement, the other users are going to be disappointed.

Anyone else get this feeling from listening to that?
I'm guessing the egg had to remain intact? Otherwise launching it with a catapult of some sort would probably win hands-down.
What the hell is an "oz."? If you have to explain that 80 ounce equals 5 pints (hey I know these), maybe you should consider going metric.

You're right. Everybody knows the earth is flat. otherwise, what would keep the water from falling off at the bottom?
What, so all Chinese will use HIS proxy? Image the meltdown effect that would give.

yes, but they have added a fourth one:
4. Except if it looks like a terrorist.
a story about spelunking and no goatse post yet???
It's because they are *funny* (well, the first 3 are), which most other sci-fi books are not.
Then again, it's all a matter of taste I guess.
What I'm curious about is why you read 5 (or 6) books from a series you find boring.

So this guy regularly jumps from perfectly functional aircraft, and collects (collected) stamps!?!?
I guess you've got to get your kicks somewhere.

Thanks! I just did this. Thank god linux is so easy to configure.
btw. my ip address is 127.0.0.1, could you check it out?
