Even More Conversing Uselessly

key-
sqr=squared
/all=all over

if x=y
then xsqr=xy
and xsqr-ysqr=xy-ysqr
and (x+y)(x-y)=y(x-y)
and (x+y)(x-y)/all x-y=y(x-y)/x-y
and x+y=y
so if x=1 and y=1
then 1+1=1

The problem with that is that dividing my (x-y) is the same as dividing by zero, since x=y. The answer is therefore nondefined.

[Pacman928]

yes, but suppose x=y=-1.  then it would be negative 2.  it is substituting AFTER the proof, not during.

[Yonkey]

Pacman's right.  If you had the equation:

[x (x+1)] / (x+1) = 0, you could say x cannot be -1, but usually you cancel them out first because it equates to x(1) = 0.

[TribeHasSpoken]

yes, but suppose x=y=-1.  then it would be negative 2.  it is substituting AFTER the proof, not during.

Good point. I just assumed we were dealing only with positive numbers.

Well, Testing continues ---- Have done direct connection via modem --- Vista passed so far --- proposing secure, stable and safe line of 3x (tri) based source code ----- 9x, open source with NT ----- bind them all together ----- process is intrruiging --- boogles my mind ---- coding . . . . . . . . . . okay . . . bye for now . . . . . Microsoft  .. . . . ..  APS .. . . . . . Justice Department and others involved . . . . . with . . . . .

Take Care!  I cannot say anymore and suit yourself if you think I am lying . . . . .. . .. Neil please contact me . . . . . Thank you very much




Tage 7, I notice your system specs. are nice.  BTW, if you do want to support Vista -- you will need a new video card --- Cards currently supported and backwards compatible with 98SE through ME driver is card I bought --- went from Ati 9000 to 9200 to

Ati Radeon 9800 XT with 4/8x AGP -- I use the 8x Advanced Graphics Port --- 256 megs. of video ram -- sweet --- supports the new 2.0 Pixel shading used in Windows Vista's Glass "Aero" interface

Make sure you have plenty of watts for this card --- power supply of at least 350 and I suggest 400+ watts --- I currently have 430 watts, I think -- Antec power supply

Lots of Fans and cooling needed if you custom built or custom upgrade your PC -- way to go unless you decide to go with some company like Falcon Northwest -- great to me back in around 2000 when system was built and still supported me years later -- with sending me new thumb tack screws when I needed them for my system --- it will cost you a boatload of money but you will get an awesome system

Problem with Dell -- according to recent Wall Street Journal article was that Dell could not meet consumer's demands with its XPS Gaming System -- told some consumers -- give you a discount because your customized XPS system does not have this technology --- consumers understandibly very upset -- a gamer is not usually interested in saving money when they are buying a fancy game rig

Anyway, sorry and back on topic:

Go Wii (still like Revolution much better) and the potential of the system and the price cannot be beat --- almost may buy this before it is released --- I even see chance of potential shortages -- may be chance to buy Nintendo stock -- but you do the research and decide -- release date is November == what I see in gaming industry

For the end of 2007 or later:

1. Nintendo (Wii --- Cool console and Twilight Princess --- Yeah, baby)

2. Microsoft (XBOX 360 --- Halo and Halo 2 are fun -- relieves stress)

3. Sony (Price, Lack of keeping industry informed, DRM, etc.)

Again, sorry about off-topic partial response --- I think I need to continue with a general blog and/or keep a journal of my thoughts

You guys and gals should now that I have a 3x boot with 98SE for old games and it is my favorite Microsoft operating system on primary master drive in Fat32 file system -- 40 gig. Western Digital hard drive

2.  On 80 gig. Western Digital slave hard drive -- XP Professional in NTFS and Windows Vista -- both in separate partitions using BING (Boot It NG -- free trial for 30 days then great price of only $34.95 -- really cheap compared to others and highly suggested for partitioning and repartioning --- much better than Fdisk)

3. On second slave hard drive (the 80 gig. one) --- Windows Vista Ultimate -- 32 bit and testing FREE for Microsoft for security issues and also overall general security

Note: Vista is indeed sweet but it hides to much information from the user even with the admin. account --- eg -- no certificate viewing like in IE 6 and like Mozilla Firefox has --- my opinion -- Mozilla Firefox is number #1 especially when used with extensions

Back on topic:

What Linux flavor is best for a newbie to Linux but one who started programming with BASIC and has loved MS-DOS -- text based interface ---- wants ease of use but does not mind configuring stuff -- can manually edit the registry when needed -- etc. but I do want a Linux version that is not very overwhelming since I have never used it but now I am super pro --- open source

Go open source and go Windows 9x -- closed source but the core is much more secure in its base form than NT (New Technology -- aka Not There according to early Microsoft engineers)

The problem with Vista is that it continues the NT line --- NT4, 2000 and XP and this code is easily manipulated in its raw form -- it has been leaked out over the Internet --- great external security but terrible safety if the user overcomes your multi-layered defense network

9x source code --- links all the way back to DOS --- possibly even inspired somewhat from BASIC ----- very safe and tight code ---
started with consumers and schools and some businesses ---

1. DOS versions
2. Windows 3.0, 3.1 --- GUI on top of DOS
3. Windows 95 === lots of versions
4. Windows 98 first edition
5. Windows 98 second edition --- best one
6. Windows ME -- system restore and better drivers -- too rushed and poor quality == mistake --- helped hasten demise of code

1. Windows NT (any version mostly)
2. Windows 2000 (for businesses)
3. Windows XP (Home -- not that great) (Professional -- okay but lacking safety)
4. Windows Vista --- the future --- yes or no ---- hmm

Anyone, interested in hearing more about me and my work --- I am

Dan W. as spamyou@user.nec in the Microsoft newsgroups including 98 general and Windows Vista general -- sorry for the aside and just wanted to let people know.

Thank you again team for all of your hard work and for making TSL compatible with 98 Second Edition --- just need to adjust the speed of Direct X and thanks again to Shades greatness for this idea which I stupidly thought would not work --- Go Silver Lining Team --- Yay!!

EDIT: Removing double and triple posts

[dew7]

I never finished the last Space Quest --- too weird for me but I did finish the King's Quest series, Quest for Glory series and Police Quest series -- never tried the SWAT series that seemed to come from Police Quest

Anyway, I lived in Tucson, Arizona -- got lots of depression and now I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I am much happier despite how f___ed my life has been --- sorry but I needed to say this and now I feel better

My job was at Target -- 7_ years and I worked my way up -- now I am a teacher's assistant -- work with first grade and help with computer security at my workplace --- a public Albuquerque school

BTW, Say please email me and I would like to talk to you and apologize for being mean when I was younger and not telling you more about DEW7 and my real name is Daniel --- I have been in contact with Neil via Gmail and he can share with you what he feels he needs too but I hope you can email me too and forgive me for being so mean to you -- back in the day and I repent to God and apologize to you and the whole team

The King's Quest series --- decided I must acquire for peace of mind and my sanity to just get away -- grin.

would this search engine work as well? 

[racx_00]

So far I'm looking forward to PS3 for Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and whatever else Square Enix creates. I'll also be looking forward to Rockstars releases. Can't remember what else I was looking forward to...

bad side: wont come for a while

[racx_00]

Ratchet and Clank 5 is coming to PS3 as well which will be good.

Although I was hoping Insomniac would take up a new character like they did when leaving the PS1 behind.
