Only others notice, and when they get exasperated with this realization, the ID-10 T33 error causes you to be offended if they point it out. Altogether a very annoying error, especially to those around the victim. It can be "cured" with locks, cans and by pressing Alt-F4.

When I reloaded this page I saw the face of the Virgin Mary appear in that bitmap! :eek: You may jest, but being a mathematician I challenge you to work out the actual odds of that happening. As for the bitmap, the first one looked random, but the second one looked rather uniform (on the left side). Given the immensely diverse number of patterns one could reasonably recognize as a face, and the even larger number of patterns a superstitious miracle-adherent is ready to declare a face, that's pretty impossible. However, it is possible to calculate the exact odds of one certain picture appearing. 1 : 2 ^ (6464) = 1 : 2^4096 [ Saturday, September 10, 2005 00:45: Message edited by: Arancaytar ] -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

But since I now have a searchable database for member numbers, names and post counts, I probably would have found out if I had wondered who you were. :D Is that database publically accessible and does it include permanent names, in addition to ever-changing screen names? Back on topic of dystopias, the one I found most disturbing after my good Soviet elementary school education was "We". It described the perfect communist society that we were supposedly striving for in USSR, but that society didn't look like a very nice place to live. By the way, "We" was the founder of the genre of dystopia and was a big influence on Orvell. It's online, but not publically available. In other words, I can access it from a MyAdmin panel, but not from a public web page. I'm working on that last one. It doesn't automatically include permanent names, although it's theoretically possible to assign a member a permanent name manually that doesn't change.

Wait! That means R is larger than N. All natural numbers are real numbers: N ⊂ R ⇔ R = N + A ⇒ \|R\| = \|N\| + \|A\| Where A is defined as the set of all real numbers that are not natural numbers, and \|X\| is the size of set X. If we now assume that \|N\| = \|R\| ⇔ \|N\| = \|N\| + \|A\| ⇔ \|A\| = 0 ⇔ A = ∅ However: 1.5 ∈ A ⇒ A ≠ ∅ Therefore A is clearly not empty, and therefore the statement N=R cannot be true. Neither can N>R be true, since N is a subset of R. Therefore, the statement N<R must be true, even though they are both infinite. --- Gah, you can tell it's been seven months since I last had a lecture on sets. :rolleyes: And that doesn't explain why it would be possible to prove \|(0,1)\| < \|R\| in the same way.
