seen it...and that whole shit about "fag" coming from people burning homosexuals is incorrect.

Remember, homosexuals can be zealots and misinformed as well.

Wait so you want teachers to be able to say "gay", but I can't say "fag"...boy am I confused

Nope, never had a sock puppet...nor do I work with anybody else that's on videosift. Hmmm strange ish!

Not 100% sure, but I believe maybe you had a sockpuppet type account that was just "banned" but its IP became "blacklisted" - either that or someone else at work was once been banned or blacklisted.

In reply to this comment by rottenseed:
I knew it! So was it my IP that was blacklisted or something? Did I do something wrong? Is my company's IT guy gonna have to f*ck shit up?
In reply to this comment by lucky760:
You've been un-blacklisted (aka un-rick-rolled). I'd say it was an accident and side effect that occurred while dealing with a bunch of spammers, but let's be honest- I did it on purpose.

Pi Is (still) Wrong.

@rottenseed: Well, as a physicist, I definitely encounter the factor 2 pi much more often than pi. I conjecture that this is true in mathematics as a whole as well, since 2 pi = tau is one full turn of a circle, and one full period of a (co)sine wave. Tau is as such a more convenient choice, if you have the luxury to choose.


Meet me at my lair, we will discuss in detail on how this girl and whomever wrote that shite manifesto are shortsighted and why...

Will include orgasmic information that will melt these mortal's minds. We'll make it private so no buddy stumbles in by accident a turns to stone.

>> ^Ornthoroneriously, read the manifesto. Area = (tau/2) r^2 actually makes more sense, too.

Dude that manifesto is fucking hilarious...all of this math knowledge spouted and all for what? All because he doesn't like doing fractions??? Really??? Yea let's rewrite all the math texts since before Princia Mathematica just so you can use tau/6 instead of pi/12. That's useless knowledge wasted on somebody with no common sense. Furthermore, it adds unnecessary fractions in things like Euler's identity and like what you just pointed out, the area of a circle.

Well, it's certainly unrealistic to expect that we can get rid of pi in favour of tau after over two millenia of pi's monopoly. But one can dream, can't one?


What I'm saying is that there's no reason to get rid of it...why's it worth trading 2*pi here for tau/2 over there?

There are a lot of discrete mathematical (series) implications to pi as well. I believe that's what standardized the use of pi being pi and not being 2*pi.

In fact, geometrically, beyond trig, if you look at areas and circumferences your options would be looking at the alternative function of area=(pi/2)*r^2 instead of just (pi)*r^2. Now would it be easier to have 2 variables, tau and pi and remember when to switch between the 2? No. Really, learning basic trig would be the only advantage of this...which is a minute part of the math world.

I feel bad that things I write are assumed to be facetious...I guess it's nobody's fault but my own

In reply to this comment by Skeeve:
I'm not sure if your comment was facetious or not, but you were pretty close to the mark. It's not the television networks (per se), but the television providers. The television providers are also the major ISPs and they know that if they can throttle the internet enough, or make it prohibitively expensive to use services like Netflix, then people will buy television service instead.

As I have said before, this is a pure money grab by the telecoms who have supported it. Luckily there are those few, like Telus, who have refused to change to UBB and have decried it as the money grab it is.

40 gigabit for 5$ that's shit.
that's like 8 movies on netflix. or 63 cents a movie.
lucky i'm in america don't see these costs.

That would change the dynamic of services like Netflix online. I wonder if the television networks have anything to do with this decision.
