p is any of the primes, x is the result of multiplying all the other primes in the list.
If px+1 was divisible by p, then px+1 = py, for some whole number y
dividing by p, y = x + 1/p. This cannot be a whole number as p >= 2 and x is a whole number.
I'm sure there's a better proof, but that's just off the top of my head.
No, it's tangentially related. My point was that he stated a factual inaccuracy, and I was pulling him up on it.
He said that most criminals have guns, even in countries where gun possession is highly restricted.
The UK is a country where gun possession is highly restricted
Gun possession by criminals in the UK is pretty low
Therefore his assertion was wrong.
The GP made a statement of fact that was false. I corrected him. At no point did I argue for gun control, or state that violent crime is higher or lower in either country.
I don't recall where I said it was.
No, it's because the penalty for owning an illegal firearm is significantly more than the penalty for many violent crimes.
You don't seem to be disagreeing with me.
As long as we cannot prevent criminals from having guns (most do, even in countries where gun possession is highly restricted),
Simply not true - gun ownership among criminals in the uk is pretty low.
Yet they have more violent crime per-capita than we do in the US.
That may or may not be true, but isn't directly related to my point really, is it?

BT already gives all customers a home hub (router) as part of the deal, this is pretty standard in the uk. They upgrade them every couple of years for you, so going to an IPv6-enabled one is not difficult.
'cos opting in is so hard - pop into the shop, ask them to opt you in. Takes 5 minutes. I only did it because the filter was blocking some web comics.
Alternatively use opera mini, which bypasses the filters on most networks. Or set up a vpn if you really care.
Most people these days have flown so many times they already know about the flotation seat cushion and oxygen air masks.
Perhaps in the US, but not so much in Europe.
To listen to on a player with limited storage. Sure, that's not your only copy, you keep lossless too.
Oh, for mod points.
While I can't (mostly) tell the difference between the original CD and a ~140Kbs VBR MP3, I _can_ tell the difference between a 140Kbs VBR MB3 made from the CD source, and a 140Kbs VBR MP3 made from a 256Kbs VBR MP3.
Lossless isn't for listening to, it's for archiving. And make sure you get the cuesheet, pregaps, etc. right when you're archiving too
Moded overrated? Someone didn't eat their sense-of-humour flakes this morning.
