You are wrong on numerous levels. I'm guessing that you forgot that Pi is not a real number, it's an estimation.
Pi is a real number, but it isn't rational. Maybe that's what you were going for here.
You seem to have forgotten what a "Theorem" is as well and hell, you used the word!. Wtf? There are numerous types of "Math" that we simply can not prove true or untrue. We still use them, because to the best of our knowledge things work in a specific way.
You need to look up the meaning of a mathematical theorem: A statement that has been proven on the basis of previously established statements, such as other theorems, and previously accepted statements, such as axioms.
A theorem is a not the same as a scientific theory, even though the words sound similar. You might have intended to talk about axioms, which are a set of given restraints for a particular mathematical system.
Since the above is true, Math "is" science. Your second statement in bold is a fallacy so just plain old wrong. No wonder you posted anonymously.
There are two schools of thought of the question of "Is math a science?"
(1) The mathematical method follows a similar pattern to the scientific method, so it is science (or a least science-like).
(2) Math is the pursuit of interesting descriptions of possiblities. Mathematical 'theories' are interesting or uninteresting, not right or wrong.
I follow the second school and I think most other mathematicians do as well.
Give your mom a box of backups and ask her to hold on to it, it is "stuff you made"
She'll never get rid of it.

440VAC 3 phase is not common in the US. 480VAC is common in the US.
380VDC is a common intermediate voltage for switching power supplies. This means that a 380VDC input supply can be made using a relatively small mod to an existing supply.
Real-time traffic information. Cool feature. It is not included in the GPS signal (just as you said), but is instead delivered using one of several other formats (FM radio, for instance).
This is a lot off-topic, but:
8-track studio recording was the hot thing in the late fifties when the Ampex 5285 and other multi-track studio records came out. Multi-track analog recorders remained very popular until digital multi-track started to replace the old analog units in the mid/late 1990's. Those studio 8-track machines do not have much in common with the continuous loop cassettes we also call 8 tracks.
From a technology standpoint, Kodachrome has just as much reason to still be around as the 8-track cassette - none. From a nostalgia standpoint, maybe there's room for both.
Broadcast television is still free, over the air, and have always had commercials (in the case of PBS stations more subtle, but still there). I don't remember anyone promising me that cable would eliminate commercials. Provide better and more reliable picture quality and add choice, yes, but not change the actual programming delivered.
FM-200 is not Halon, it is the Dupont brand name for a non ozone depleting Halon replacement - heptafluoropropane. Still yet, the deployment works exactly as you describe.
This is not true. That red map is the VZW 3G (EVDO and not just 1xRTT) network just as they claim. They have basically upgraded their entire network to EVDO.
When I read the post about letting the Beetle in, I just assumed they were talking about one of the old school "Herbie the Love Bug" Type I Beetles. Those are rare now and easy to wave in to a line of traffic. The New Beetle on the other hand is just another car in a sea of commuters to me.
I 100% agree about the durability of the whole line. My HP 11C is 22 years old and I use it every day. I don't know where you get your batteries, but I want in. I burn through three of the button cells every few months. Back in the day, when I ran programs on the thing, it could eat a set in a week of HEAVY use.
Your discussion on wire is totally incorrect. The only advantage AC has is that it is easier to step up/step down the voltage (using a transformer). DC requires some sort of DC to DC converter. Back in the dawn of the electric era, there was no effective way to step up/step down DC, so AC won. Today, we use high voltage DC for some long distance transmission. One of the reasons is we save on wire!
As pointed out many times above, this is the opposite of how it really works. The loss of any given conductor at the same voltage is higher in an AC circuit than DC. If you tried the same experiment with similarly rated 12VAC load and supply, you would see more heat loss in the wire with the AC system. The loss in both AC and DC systems is linear, but the AC loss is higher at the same voltage.

The industry term for cable laid on the sea floor really is "Submarine Cable."

That made me smile. Thanks.

New Shimmer - It's a floor cleaner. No, it's a dessert topping.
The SD card can also be encrypted with an easy to set (and easy to forget) option.
You are correct. But I have used an 8-track cassette :)

I also have graphite under the skin on one finger from the same sort of accident. I wonder how comon it is.

Where I live there are hundreds of publicly-accessible real-time cameras pointed at highway interchanges and major intersections.

I wish Sprint phones would roam at EVDO speeds on the VZW network like it did on the (former) Alltel network. Not gonna happen, but it would be nice.

I don't care who you are, thats funny! I wish I had a mod point or two.

The lack of any sort of post editing sux, doesn't it :)
Too bad that iPhone won't work on VZW at all.
Now that is funny. True, but funny.
A recession in the US has a very good chance of metastizing to the rest of the world. Cheap BR players for all!?

You almost had me. You are trolling, right? At the very least you've never done any underground work.
