Dylan was really at his best in his early years. After his tragic motorcycle accident all of his albums steadily declined in quality. He was easily the most influential singer/songwriter of the 60s.
You're a buffoon. Blood on the Tracks and Time Out of Mind are two of the best albums he's ever done, and both were done after he left the folk scene in '65.
Bob Dylan. Sellout.
Bob Dylan is a professional musician. Getting paid to perform is his job. Get over it.
Nothing you've said makes the rest of us believe it's likely.
but, it seems to me that you're either a shill for the petrochemical industry (the bit about a "catastrophic solution" was a nice touch),
In your post, you advocate solving problems before having a good understanding of whether your solution is going to help anything. That's myopic at best, and downright dangerous at worst. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they've been coerced in some way by industry. I do, however, like your conclusion that anyone who disagrees with you on climate-related matters has a fringe view of science. It's delightfully eccentric.
terminally dumb,
I see you gave up on the whole "arguing reasonably" that you claim you yourself could do. By the way, you do realize that the use of the word "either" refers to one of exactly two choices, right?
or a plain old troll.
The voice of experience, I suppose.
So any way you cut it, saying anything more would be a bit of a waste of time.
Now, come on: if you actually believed that it would be a waste of time, you wouldn't have responded. By the way, your response doesn't actually attack any of the legitimate points brought up in the previous post. One might construe that you didn't understand them, but I'll presume you chose to troll instead.
No, that's not the correct explanation. Yes, it's true that a conditionally convergent sequence can be rearranged to converge to any real number. But that particular "rearrangement" has partial sums that are a subsequence of the original series' partial sums. So one of three things must have happened:
1) The series diverges, and the algebraic manipulations of its "value" were meaningless.
2) The series converges to 0, and there was division by 0.
3) This particular series doesn't follow that pattern past the first few terms, and the equation 2x=x doesn't follow, even if it does converge.
In any case, Riemann's rearrangement result is unnecessary.

Actually, most of Delaware at least is owned by DuPont and MBNA America.
