I just need someone to write a vim/latex web app, and somehow access all my music movies and picture.

You are insisting on integer values of N. Which is silly. There's nothing special about integer amounts of time. (1/2)^t is irrational for almost all values of t. Furthermore if you were to write down the half life of any radioactive substance in almost any units of time, you would get irrational numbers for their half life.

Just make sure you put less mass into yout body than comes out. Each day I weigh my output, then on the next day I eat and drink a half an ounce less than that. I'll weigh exactly 0 on my 100th birthday.

Oh god! I tried to RTFA and failed!

He gave them a list of suggestions, if they are reasonable then maybe they need to comply. They point is companies should make a reasonable effort to make thier products accessable to the handicapped. I'm not sure of the law but in principle it is the right thing to do. Of course if what he's asking is very difficult then it makes sense for Sony to say "We can't do that". This is very different then him just suing because he can't do something. People above talked about camera's, driving, rock climbing. Imagine if he came up with a practical way for a blind person to drive safely and he suggested it and the car companies refused.

Obviously pencil and paper is what everyone does, and for good reason. But if you really need your notes typeset and you don't have any time to do it after class, you should just use LaTeX. You can set up some macros for some commonly used things. You just need to be able to type fast an acurately. You said that LaTeX is too slow, but really you are just slow at typing in LaTeX. Practice and you should be able to get your speed up.

I saw the dinosaurmedia tag and thought this article was about something much cooler.

Meh. He's using BSD, LGPL software. He's perfectly within his rights. In fact I'd argue that the authors of the software he's using are fine with his decision to keep his sourced closed, considering how they chose to licence their software.

I bang things on google.

"2 to the power of 43,112,609, minus 1" or if it helps 2^43112609-1

I'm pretty sure that "64" and "128" are in base 10 not binary. I'm also pretty sure that 64*2=128. Now 2^64 is much less than 2^128. But it's also true that 10^64 is much less than 10^128. In short the problem is not the base.

So if I want a phone that isn't crippled, all's I have to do is not buy an iphone? GO PATENTS!

Amen

Yes, but google should make this as easy to do as possible. Ok they obviously don't *have* to, but it would be nice if they did.

It doesn't matter which system you use. I'm in the US I use cups and feet and fahrenheit and feet and inches and gallons and liters and meters and volts and amps and seconds and (ooo there's lots of time units I use.) Probably some more. Oh and I can multiply as well.
