I played basket ball from the age of 7 to 18 for fun. And I ran a BBS using Netware 3.11 when I was 14.... I think that proves you are mistaken. Everyone knew who I was in High school and would walk up and talk to me but I didn't goto many drinking parties but LAN parties and BBS get-togethers sure.

I will say I HATED school. It was the same fucking classes over and over again. Drove me mad.... still am insane, can't stand schools or colleges....

OK so In calculus Extended real line?

Formal operations:

A formal calculation is one carried out using rules of arithmetic, without consideration of whether the result of the calculation is well-defined. Thus, it is sometimes useful to think of a/0, where a 0, as being \infinity. This infinity can be either positive, negative, or unsigned, depending on context.

Real projective line:

The set {R} U \infinity is the real projective line, which is a one-point compactification of the real line. Here \infinity means an unsigned infinity, an infinite quantity that is neither positive nor negative. This quantity satisfies -\infinity = \infinity, which is necessary in this context. In this structure, a/0 = \infinity can be defined for nonzero a, and a/\infinity = 0. It is the natural way to view the range of the tangent and cotangent functions of trigonometry: tan(x) approaches the single point at infinity as x approaches either +\pi/2 or -\pi/2 from either direction.

This definition leads to many interesting results. However, the resulting algebraic structure is not a field, and should not be expected to behave like one. For example, \infinity + \infinity is undefined in the projective line.

Riemann sphere, which is of major importance in complex analysis. Here too \infinity is an unsigned infinity – or, as it is often called in this context, the point at infinity. This set is analogous to the real projective line, except that it is based on the field of complex numbers. In the Riemann sphere, 1/0=\infinity, but 0/0 is undefined, as is 0\times\infinity.

Extended non-negative real number line:

The negative real numbers can be discarded, and infinity introduced, leading to the set [0, infinity], where division by zero can be naturally defined as a/0 = infinity for positive a. While this makes division defined in more cases than usual, subtraction is instead left undefined in many cases, because there are no negative numbers.

Still you are mixing maths but I get it...

Look what happened to the last guy who decided to fulfill the requirements of this job - he sought asylum in Russia!

O no... CHINA then Russia... that says a lot right there... Doesn't sound like some shit I'd be wanting to do unless scared shitless... He's probably having tea right now with kindly Vlad-amir... More isotope with ur tea Mr snowden?

His job description entails standing around telling the NSA to stop doing all of the things the NSA does. It's not going to matter whether he performs this duty faithfully or not.

If he doesn't get the authority to make anyone do what he says -- or even listen to him -- then he can perform his job as faithfully as he wishes while the NSA can carry on with its own. Everybody wins!

Just like in Soviet Union... Everyone WINS all expense paid vacation!!!!

How much do you get paid for this shilling gig? I mean, really. I want in.

So you declare without proof that everyone who disagrees with the AGW narrative is paid by evil corporations? *yawn* So dissent from your side of a political disagreement can automatically be dismissed with no further thought? How convenient, especially since that talking point was invented by the dried-gourd rattling witch doctor, give-me-a-virgin-to-sacrifice hucksters who cooked up the AGW scam in the first place.

No no I think he is claiming you need to get new talking points and stop using inflammatory language you stupid fuck... ooopps... Hypocrite detected...
