I'm using a 10$ set of bunny ears. 100% signal "quality", according to the EyeTV software. If you're living in the boonies, you would need something better, though.
In other words, you are choosing the wrong representation of e and pi. Remember that "regular" real numbers are defined in terms of equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences. A Cauchy sequence is a function from the Naturals into a metric space for which there is "Cauchy convergence": for every epsilon, there is an N such that if m and n are large enough, |f(m) - f(n)| IS the number to which the sequence converges, since this is an ordered field. Real numbers are functions.
Now, given a function pi that converges to the number usually called pi, and a function e that converges to the number normally called e, what is pi + e? It's a function that converges to the number regularly called "pi + e". And yes, this function is definable.
Pitching a show and writing a show are different activities. JJA knew nobody would produce a 100 hour long sci-fi action movie if they knew it would be one. So he pitched it as a survivor clone.
And it's logically consistent because they write it that way
I promise you, those who work their way through college using their own money do NOT skip classes unless they have double pneumonia.
Yeah, speak for yourself. My time is valuable. Even more valuable than you might suppose, specifically because I work and go to school at the same time. If I can learn the material without going to lecture, I will.
That would be true even if we "taxed them", or "fined them", or just paid out of pocket. Look up "elasticity of demand" and "tax burden". You need gas more than they need your money. Ergo, you pay the tax.
You also haven't watched the show. Merely being on an island does not turn it into a "reality show". In fact, considering that there have been multiple wars, time travel, the creation of alternative universes, etc, it is much more like a 100 hour long sci-fi action movie. About as far from reality as you can get, and still be (mostly) logically consistent.
Well, some of the actions taken in the last season lead to a time paradox. As a "physical effect", an alternative reality was spawned, and it "should" have a part in correcting the time paradox. (Not that this was explained in the show)
I made the switch in 2007, when I got my 24 inch iMac, and an EyeTV TV tuner. No regrets, really. Between Hulu and Netflix and OTA, I can watch pretty much everything I want.
Wait, is it "not your choice" or is your policy to only fix "absolute brokens" (whatever those are)?
Maxo-Texas was clear about that. I don't see why you're having so much trouble understanding it.
Ditto, and with the economy the way it is right now and upcoming software upgrades in 24-36 months, they don't want to "waste" money upgrading it now. (emphasis mine)
It's not an environmental "negative". They plant three times as many trees as they harvest. Paper is a truly renewable resource, especially since it is recyclable, in many different ways.
Printing pages pointlessly is a negative, because you waste energy in the paper production, for no good reason. And you waste your own money. But using paper "responsibly" -- for things you want to keep hard copies of -- is entirely appropriate, and not wasteful.
The tired old, simplistic view of "supply & demand" doesn't apply to a product that has infinite supply and basically a $0 distribution cost. The rules are different.
No, the rules are not different. The only difference is that the price is set merely by the demand, at a point where it is at unit elasticity (where they start to lose out on total earnings, because of lost sales, if they raise prices, and lose out on total earnings because of lost profit, if they lower prices).
If you require the use of 25 year old tech for business purposes, then you are definetly not staying innovative and most likely will find it hard to compete in the market from companies that invest in new technology and innovation.
Says who? The reason 25 year old systems stay in place is because they work, a lot of work has been done with them. What is the point of switching to Microsoft's latest version of Sharepoint if your purpose built business software (which you counted as a capitalizable cost) does everything you need it to? If it is easy to expand? If you use it to innovate? IBM makes a lot of money catering to these sorts of shops. IBM IS this sort of shop.

And? What's your point? That you don't know what 'exact' means?
No, you're wrong, because you're confusing "exact" with something else.

Well DUH.

It's north west of Spain. Now go fuck yourself.

Costs aren't the same as prices.
You might not have flown to Germany, but you did just say it...
Or rather, he needs to keep doing what he is doing. He is clearly doing something right.

And yet you had to write an article explaining that there are gaps between floats...
Continued fractions are a straightforward way to implement exact computable real arithmetic. So yes, it's been used. And it's slow. But it is exact.
Take a class in real analysis.

Except Macs have TPM chips in them. So you either need to virtualize one or "pass" the real one through.

And you think paper companies don't reuse their processing chemicals? What purpose is wasting their supplies supposed to serve?
They reuse. And then they recycle.
Certainly, wasting paper is a waste. But if you're not wasting it, it isn't a waste to use it.
You don't really think your e-reader is more environmentally friendly, though, do you?
Eminently un-recyclable, full of toxic metals and other materials, active users of energy.
And those processing chemicals are recycled as much as possible too.
