yes, even mathematicians refer to functions as "curves"
So? That doesn't make "curve" a function. Which fucking curve, idiot?
has a vertical asymptote at 10
Which still doesn't define the function. 1/x has an asymptote. So does 1/tan(x). Are they the same? I supose by your definitions thay are, because they both equal "curve(x)". LOL!
Well "photoshop" is[1] sometimes used as a verb (meaning to use photoshop, or do what photoshop does). A similar case exists withy hoover, so apple must mean to do what an apple does. So:
Apple. verb (intransitive). To sit on a desk and look nice; to cost a lot more; (v. transitive) to make its owner incredibly smug.
Buildings at our physics department are without exception named after famous physicists who studied or worked at our department.
That's impossible, as there would have been no building for anyone to study in before the first person got famous. Or did they study out in a field, or maybe a tent?
Therefore the warp scale is a curve with an asymptote at 10. Have you taken any algebra classes?
Yes, I have taken algebra classes (have you taken English ones?) - enough to know that 10 is not infinity (or even infinte) and that there is no function called "asymptote", an asymptote being a thing that certain functions exhibit. Oh, "curve" isn't a function either.
This is like the theory that you should carry a bomb on board, since what are the odds of having two bombs on the same plane?
Apart from being totally different, you're right.
A bomb isn't much use as an anti-bomb weapon (you could blow the bomber up, but you tend to score a bit of an own goal that way). However a gun is an effective weapon against a hijacker armed with a gun. This is probably why sky marshals prefer to carry them rather than, say, halberds.
A "--" to indicate a comment is a poor method, anyhow.
Then it's just as well it's not used for that. It indicates a sig (signature) and is a long established convention e.g. on usenet.
What does suck is that the sig is added by slashcode dynamically (i.e. you change it and it changes in all your previous posts). This is not just counterintuitive, it's stupid - an example of "don't replicate the appearance if you don't replicate the behaviour".
Why not handle that with vibrations instead of sound?
Because that would use more power, making the situation it's warning you about even worse. Huh, what's that you say? The loud sound uses quite a bit of energy too?

The other use for a blue-screen is shutting down windows.

I think you'll find they come in pairs.
A bomb isn't much use as an anti-bomb weapon (you could blow the bomber up, but you tend to score a bit of an own goal that way). However a gun is an effective weapon against a hijacker armed with a gun. This is probably why sky marshals prefer to carry them rather than, say, halberds.

2) Whinge about it

Might suggest that to the guys at the AFDB site - an international fashions section.
I'll get me coat.
