Your analogy is completely correct, but I still think complaining about xkcd on the internet is a waste of time. Then again, by the same token, I'm wasting my own time caring about those opinions of yours which are of little importance.<br /><br /><br />And Twilight SUCKS.

You can opt not to read it, but you are also subjected to millions of crazy fans and seeing at least a dozen Twilight adverts everywhere you go. xkcd is the Twilight of the internet--it isn't nearly as good as SOME people think, but since that audience tends to be extremely vocal (and do annoying things such as immediately posting xkcd to reddit), we are actually forced to see it even if we don't want to read it.<br /><br />I would say that Twilight's success negatively affects me (and our generation) by putting it into the minds of little girls that they can be clingy and weepy and weak and marry a controlling, abusive man, and not abort a baby even if it kills them. I would say that xkcd negatively affects me (and our generation) by putting it into the minds of already pretentious faux-geeks that their pretentiousness is validated.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192581573588205095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-1557177214286039112009-12-16T17:35:58.377-08:002009-12-16T17:35:58.377-08:00Furthermore (and sorry for double posting), this b...Furthermore (and sorry for double posting), this being about what I meant to say earlier, do you really have nothing better to do than to criticize someone whose personal success/failure will not affect you and whose comic you must read only by choice?

Looks like it accomplished exactly what it was supposed to be used for. Man, do I feel dumb now.<br /><br />Amanda: You know, maybe it's just me but not getting flamed feels <i>weird</i>.<br /><br />And yeah, I know. It's not really like that... My statement is meaningless, if you think about it: You could just as easily assert that all math nerds are actually number theory nerds or real analysis nerds or topology nerds or whatever.<br /><br />And it's not *entirely* false. More like sometimes false. =p I mean, math people do like at least most of their lectures, right? Right?<br /><br />Anyway, yeah. Just liking a subject doesn't guarantee an interesting lecture. (That's one of the wonderful things I've learned in college!) But you'd think some guy who LOVES math would mostly be posting about how awesome his math lecture was. Or at least could have been, if it was like such and such. Not whine about how it was boring boring boring and he'd so much rather be doing something else.<br /><br />*shrug* Just my naive assumption, really. That if people like something, they'll complain less about it. I'm sure that this is also, likewise, false... I'd rather naively delude myself to escape the harsh reality, however.<br /><br />CAPTCHA: "messes".

This does not necessarily mean that Z+1 is prime. In fact, as Z+1 is far bigger than any number on the list, and every prime is on that list, by our very assumption, Z+1 CANNOT be prime, as Z+1 is not on the list of all primes. We must take the assumption as true still as we have yet to reach a contradiction that disproves it. Claiming that Z+1 is prime at this point would be us discarding out original assumption without reason.<br /><br />But, as I already said, Z+1 has no factors on the list, therefore Z+1 is not composite either. But it can be proven that every natural number other than 0 or 1 is either a composite or a prime. But we have proven that Z+1 is none of those things, and so we have our contradiction.<br /><br />At this point we STILL can't prove if Z+1 is composite or prime, as we know that the list is missing primes so there is no way of knowing whether or not Z+1 is itself a missing prime, or merely a multiple of missing primes.Maze1125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-71001722302203426802009-08-15T07:09:54.627-07:002009-08-15T07:09:54.627-07:00y'all need to learn 2 reductio ad absurdum
