Given: A certain positive percentage of primes differ by two.
There are known twin primes, so the percentage of primes that are twin primes is not zero. If there are a finite number of twin primes then the percentage of primes that are twin primes approaches zero, but that is not strictly equivilent to zero.
Irrational numbers are mysterious as a whole, I don't think pi is special in that respect. The prrofs are fascinating though. Prooving incommensurability(sp?) takes some very creative thinking.
Can the government restrict what type of information a company collects on its customers when they volentarily opt in to it, especially when thats kinda the point of the service?
What are you special? It's censorship, by the very definition of the fucking word. The fact that you agree with what disney did doesn't change the definition of the act.
Disney is someone with authority, they had the authority to stop his distrobution, and they did. Now he has to buy it back and find someone else. Censorship is not solely government related.
If it was disney deciding not to distribute a film then fine, who cares, but this is disney deciding that one of the other companies under the same corporate umbrella as them can't distribute the movie. Why the hell would disney care? The movie wouldn't have a disney logo or anything on it so it doesn't have a damn thing to do with them. Anyone smart enough to know that disney and the distributor are owned by the same company is smart enough to realize that what one company does doesn't reflect on what disney does. This is just disney trying to suck up to brother bush.
It doesn't have to contradict your agenda. Censorship is when someone with authority removes or suppress' what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable. Disney made the decision based on his message therefore it's censorship. I like how you try and call it free speech, I'm not saying Disney was wrong to do it, but that's some mighty fuckin spin right there... lol
I don't suppose you have a link that expands on that? I'm really interested in this stuff and that's the first time I've ever heard it explained in common sense language.
Very true.... but if einstien is wrong that breaks open a whole can of somethin. Consider all the observations that are based on einstein's theories. Possibly even these observations.... definitly something to think about.... preferably by someone smarter then me...
The universe can't be expanding at the speed of light. Releativity states that the speed of light is as fast as it gets. So if we were all going the speed of light away from the center of the universe there would be no headroom in the velocity for movement in any other direction. That would mean planet orbits, even walking down the street in a certain direction would be impossible.

A number that approaches zero is not stricly zero and can still have a positive or negative value.
Correct. I'm not saying his logic is correct, I'm just saying that statement 2 isn't where the problem is. :)
if a=b, then:
a^2=ab
a^2-b^2=ab-b^2
(a-b)(a+b)=b(a-b)
a+b=b
substitute in the original a=b equation
2a=a
2=1
wtf? So where's the error? :)

Your mixing concepts. the limit of 3/x as x goes to infinity is zero but 3/infinity isn't technically zero.

Yea, cause you really want magnets near your hard drive right :p

I think the Cannes Film festival is appropriately nerdy. Not in the strict technological sense, but is has the air of cult enthusiasm.
Yes it is, it's not government censorship, but it is censorship.
Alot of americans hate american politics and love the idea of Bush bashing....
What fiction? Examples?
That's not a word... that's an acronym
its a little thing i like to call a joke....

God made the universes expansion a sine wave just to piss scientists off.....
What's the diffrence?

Oh ok... I can understand compression algorithms... I was thinking something more core like factorization...
Do you have any examples of patented algorithms?? This is interesting...
