Well, as much as everybody else likes to discredit this giving examples like 14/0 = Nullity and 20/0 = nullity so nullity = 14 and it equals 20 therefore false, I have a simple counter example that I would like you to discredit.
First of all, "nullity" is not defined as 14/0 if I get what this guy is saying. It is defined as 1/0. Therfore, 14/0 would factor into 14 * 1/0, or 14 * "nullity". this seems to me like it would behave like (-1) ^.5 . In other words 14/0 != 20/0 . You would actually be able to compare scales of divide by zero in a similar way that calculus works with limits. I.e. x * (14/0) = 20/0 what is x ? well, x *14 *(1/0) = 20 * (1/0) divide both sides by (1/0) or nullity, and they cancel out. Then x = 20 / 14 or 10/7 . That seems very intuitive to me, and I think it might work with limits in calculus. Maybe "nullity" is a convenient notational method to retain the "scale" of a divide by zero operation. After all, i (-1 ^.5) is not on the real number line, so why should "nullity" have to be?
Umm how do you know that travelling near the speed of light causes time to slow? Have you been able to factor out the acceleration that occurs getting you up to speed? What about slowing down? Seen a report that shows it? How will anyone ever know whether it is the acceleration that changes time or if it is the speed you travel at. Haven't seen the expiriment yet, so feel free to refute with an actual link. Until then (from what I understand) we can't say that velocity itself causes a dilation in time, just that accellerating to relativistic speeds, then decelerating again causes time effects.
you beat me to it. This has got to be the greatest. Link to thier letter on slashdot to prevent the actual reward from letter from ever being seen. This has got to be the best protection that virus writer ever recieved:)
At least you are incensed about something. My mohair jacket seems to be itching your nuts. Let SCO laugh in my face. At least they will have diverted their attention in my direction from trying to undermine opensource. Incremental action to expand freedom. Watch "A beatiful mind" and pay attention when he talks about working together. The mathmatics of group coorperation earned a nobel prize. Proof that it works.
Ok, SCO wants to take it to court. They believe the power of the GNU & Linux projects are in the terms of the License agreement. What they do not understand is that the power of Opensource is in the people commited to opensource. Law exists to serve the populous, and maintain fairness. If SCO wants to challenge the fairness of what we (opensource supporters) have determined to be fair, then lets challenge back. Please visit Bapudi.com and post to the bulletin board in support of boycotting SCO. After we collect your posts, we will mail out our boycot postings to remind SCO that challenging the ideals of opensource is more than just detrimental to opensource, it will be suicide for thier business.
