Got news for you dude. Nature doesn't care about mathematics.
I hate to break it to you dude, but Nature cares very deeply about mathematics. This is why she chose to base all of creation on it.
The fact is people didn't invent mathematics, we merely discovered it.
Look at the whole fiasco over the discovery of irrational numbers and "imaginary" numbers.

Ever seen political polls on the net:
I will vote for:
George Dubya Bush
- Al "The Stiff" Gore
umm...where's Ralph Nader? Where's Pat Buchanan? Where's David McReynolds?
Agreed. I noticed something even scarier just because it's almost beneath notice. I often stop at 7-11 on the way to work for coffee. They recently replaced their normal 7-11 coffee cups with special election cups. You can only get the "I'm voting for Bush" or "I'm voting for Gore" models.
It seems to illustrate a belief I have that there are few if any substantial differences between the two major parties. For a huge corporation like 7-11, either major party candidate will do fine for them.
Because most Americans don't want to live in California
For your own safety, I advise you not to let the moderators know where you keep your stash since that is some extremely high quality crack you are smoking.
Most Americans would kill to live in California, especially San Diego where I live.
This explains why our real estate prices are going through the roof. The whole area is packed full of foreigners (like from Arizona, the midwest etc.).
Look around your state and see how many people there are from California and I will find twice as many here from wherever you are. ---CONFLICT!!---
That particular example would do more than put a strain on the process. "Reinserting the waves" would be adding a driving force to the system. Given that the need for this is the damping force of the tub walls, we would have a damped driven system. Since the driving force would be continually increasing eventually it will turn chaotic. ---CONFLICT!!---
Ummm... actually, i=sqrt(-1) is a perfectly valid value in the universe. It's just that it took a long time for people to discover it hiding in the framework of mathematics. It made people nervous as well hence the original term "imaginary number". The ancient Greeks discovered the irrational numbers and had to hide them from the general populace for fear of mass panic. The fact that it is required for QM (and QED among other things) is what forced people to recognize the reality of "imaginary" numbers. ---CONFLICT!!---
I gotta give it to the Freeze for punkest song though with broken bones.
It's all about some punk at a party getting the crap kicked out of him by rednecks
.....they beat me quick and bloody
said "you know that punk is dead"
they asked me what I thought of that
"Fuck off!" is all I said
Likewise, I am justified (from a can-take-you-to-court point of view) to assume that the aforementioned spoon isn't laced with arsenic. I am not justified in assuming it sterile enough to perform bypass surgery with.
If sterility is your major deciding factor as to whether to use a spoon for bypass surgery, please contact me privately and let me know what hospital you work at so I can avoid it.

Punk was dead before the first LA band gained any prominence
This is such a bunch of crap, unless you are considering "punk" and "hardcore punk" as 2 completely different things. Hardcore punk was invented in LA. Black Flag specifically was the first real "hardcore" band at least until the Rollins days. See also Germs, Fear, Circle Jerks. At about the same time period the SF scene was going off. DK, Condemned to Death, the dicks, Code Of Honor.
Don't forget the Boston scene. The Freeze(my personal favorite), the FU's, Gang Green, Jerry's Kids.
Plus thousands of other bands from all over the world. The 80's were the real heyday of punk.
You probably think the sex pistols invented punk disregarding the fact that Johnny Rotten(sue me Malcolm McClaren you ass) sang a Ramones song off of their first album(already released) to audition for the band. ---CONFLICT!!---
I don't think anybody's going to be installing SuSE on an E10K anytime soon, though..

It didn't really work all that well..... well....ok....it didn't even boot after installation. Dang they're gonna be pissed On a completely unrelated note, is anyone hiring? ---CONFLICT!!---
Well, Offspring aren't punk, but you should throw in Greg Graffin singer for Bad Religion.

Actually pdf is open and ps is proprietary. That's why Apple went with it.
In this case "open" meant "free beer" to Apple. ---CONFLICT!!---
Adobe GoLive 4.0. This has done well in the Mac world (mostly because Dreamweaver is a bad Windows port)
I would argue that GoLive has done well in the Mac world because it has consistently been so far ahead of any other site design tool as to make the others look ridiculous. Dreamweaver has come along pretty well, but I'm not that familiar with the latest version. Front Page is probably the worst program I have ever seen.
GoLive used to be a Mac only program, and at the time over 80% of web pages were done on Macs. Some other programs had a head start in the PC arena because of this.
Actually, I'm sure the market isn't a problem. The product isn't available yet though. So you have near infinite demand with zero supply. Whoever comes out with it first will end up so rich that he'll make BillyG mow his lawn. ---CONFLICT!!---
Actually, you can. Hit Alt-Spacebar. Use the arrow keys to select Move (Two up-arrows, if you can't see it). Hit Enter. Use arrow-down key to move the window back into visible range.
Tried it. Didn't work. The menu came up, but move was greyed out. ---CONFLICT!!---
Oh, and as long as I'm dissing Apple and praising the Borg, how about windows you can resize from any edge? There was a great shareware control panel called Stretch that gave the Mac interface this capability (one of the few things Microsoft got right and Apple got wrong, wrong, wrong),
I have to totally disagree with you on this. resizing from any edge is mildly convenient in rare cases, but it is a deal breaker in others given the crappy interface design of windows. With the whole application window as a container for the document windows thing. ex. go live cyberstudio, commnet, hotline etc. Quite frequently the titlebar of a document window(you know the only place you can move the window from) gets pushed up above the visible area of the containing application window. You are now totally SOL since you can't move the window any more. With the Mac, you can move the window from any edge which is much more important. ---CONFLICT!!---

Coupled with the common short version of "Richard" that is pretty funny.

Try using BBEdit
It is an awesome text/html editor for Mac.
Automatically converts mac/dos/unix line breaks and can save as any of them. Beats doing it by hand
