I'll amend that -- every *desktop* GUI.
I've always preferred keyboard input over mouse. But I'm using one now. Why? Because every GUI on earth is too reliant on them. But the mouse is ergonomically a terrible invention. Why is it so hard to drag without accidentally tripping the right button (left button, if you are left-handed) with the ring finger? I'd want to un-invent the mouse so that I could reinvent it without a button in that position. I'd have two buttons, one would be under the index finger, the other under the middle finger. Then it wouldn't be such a pain in the ass.
Okay, that reading of it is more credible.
Ah, we have somebody who isn't familiar with the Halting Problem, I see.
I'd take off my hat to you, sir, if I were wearing one.
Well, you don't need to say what P is because the definition is for the property of degeneracy, which can be applied to *any* topos. And we all know that e is approximately 2.718. So the only thing left is Q, which stands for the quality of the paper, which is clearly much less than 2.718.
Therefore every topos is degenerate.
And people find this hard to grasp?
The first two frames seem unrealistic. Logarithms, really? That would take an engineering *freshman* about 3 seconds to see through. And Klingon? I don't know anybody who has studied linguistics. But plenty of people who haven't could easily see that the question is nonsense. I don't think learning in this field is going to reduce that ability.
The last two frames, though...completely believable.
I hope at least that they chose these wisely enough to get a low Erdos number out of it.
That's not what the incompleteness theorems say. There are true statements in any sufficiently rich system of mathematics that cannot be proven. The theorems don't say which statements those are (except for the constructed examples). And they really don't say anything about physics, which is an empirical endeavor.
"the Cuba"?
Is that like "the Iraq, and such"?
I can't say I ever used Hotmail, but I sure knew/know a lot of people who have Hotmail accounts.
Are you sure it's not one person with lots and lots of Hotmail accounts?
Is that you, Bob?
I ain't lookin' to compete with you,
Beat or cheat or mistreat you,
Simplify you, classify you,
Deny, defy or crucify you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.
No true Scotsman would have such a small antenna!
Ah yeah, we can make up our own endings to anything, just to help us completely miss the point.
