This forum's making me lose my faith in humanity...Follow

No no, go beyond basic math. I am preparing some devastating integrals for future variables, just not numbers. So even though a square root is really x^(1/2) there is a symbol for it. However I don't know a symbol for ^2 and that is just an exponent similar to ^3 and ^whatever, so is outside the bounds.

Whoever can tell me what this means gets promoted to instant awesomeness.

{12+144+20 + 3sqrt(4)}/7 + 5*11 = 9^2 + 0

^ means to the power of. so 9^2 is "9 to the power of 2" or more simply "9 squared"

Our poor IponemaGirl... it's quite logically sound. You see, you missed the part where music IS art (so your argument actually supports the quote). All things have a termination in music. It has long been called the universal language as it transcends all language barriers. Music is more than just sound, always has been.

All things in the human experience have been expressed muscially, but all things in the human experience cannot be expressed mathematically. Even your dear Mr. Spock created music, played it, embraced it. So with him on my side as proof that music is entirely logical. In almost every way it is superior as a universal human language to math. Very few people 'feel' math, but even someone born deaf can 'feel' music, even create it for those that can 'hear' it.

To really bake your brain, silence has been identified with music, not the absence of 'sound'... Aren't we a clever folk. FYI, the universe is NEVER silent and makes it's own music, and if possible, that silence would still be music.

The music and broadcasted culture that we have sent out to it will be all that is left of humanities sum total of experience when Earth has been reduced to its component particles by the forces of that musical universe. Humans as we now know ourselves will long be gone, either as something evolved or something that was.

To bring it full circle and back to the topic thread title. Faith in humanity is unnecessary, we have already created that which will define us long after we are gone or changed. The TRUTH of what is, beyond faith and philosophy, is that people are people and the only thing we can control is how WE control our interactions with our fellow humans. It could be said that the OP is referring to a loss of faith in themselves in being able to cope with the pseudo-chaos that is this forum. You choose to interact with it, or you choose not to. Take your pick.

(to the power of) is a mathematical expression involving two numbers. you could theoretically insert any number in there which is clearly no good. Also this is my thread not yours, so I can clearly state that numbers are not allowed.

I haven't decided on pi and e yet, but good luck using them in an expression. I guess ln(e) does = 1. hmmm. Regardless to the power of expressions are not allowed if the number is not already there.

I think the square root can be allowed, but I see your point, so it is now no longer allowed. See what you've done!

edit: also IponemaGirl we padded the walls of this thread a long time ago, so you can't hurt yourself :)

Resemble was intended. I was the one who tried to politely disabuse Kooter of the crazy concept that somehow a BM Hunter took more damage.

First off, the thread was derailed into a far more interesting subject. Secondly, you are quite simply wrong.

You do not have to read through seven pages. You have to read one post. By then you should have realized how the sticky is set up. This information here, that information on that page, and all the other stuff over on that page over there. If you can't figure out the sticky, you are quite simply so retarded that you don't belong in front of a computer anyway.

I'd rather have the sticky constructed as it is, with it's quite simple and elegant division of information, instead of three or more stickies cluttering up the first page. One is enough, and the title Every Question Answered Here should be more than enough to get the attention of the ADDtards we've been having to deal with lately.

I know, it's crazy. Half the time I post something in here, I get half the Hunter population on my **** for not being a servile little ***** that jumps through hoops because some ******** feels doing a little bit of research is beneath him. And I have always thought of myself as one of the Good Guys in all the other forums I frequent, but apparently that's not nice enough in here.

I think the "Rate me down!!!!!!!" thread in the OoT should be mandatory reading for everyone on Allakhazam. Might put things in perspective, and make the people who hate me rather just pray that no one else follows me here from the OoT.

We love North.

He hasn't even gone after my dime store philosophy yet. In fact, nobody took the bait. Need to get better bait to troll with... hmmm.

So how 'bout that deadzone removal? Oh wait, that's OLD bait....

That's it, I'm spent. Must've burned out those last two braincells on that music crap.

Rayne-

If I wasn't married already I might just propose to you!

Ummm..

***** it!

Will you marry me?

Now, that would be an interesting marriage proposal. . . .

Awww. Well you can always sacrifice your firstborn to become one of my minions and thus bask in the reflected glory of me?

Damnit.... fixed
