So infinity + infinity = 2infinity?

What is 1/infinity then?

Google Cantor Transfinite Number Set Theory

The first thing you learn is that there are more real numbers than integers.

Do you work for a firm that contracts to the government and is paid in
tax-collection loot? Unless your activity is directly connected with
national defense, law enforcement or operation of the courts you are
aiding and abetting mishcief. There are only three proper functions of
the government maintaining an army to defend the land, maintaing courts
to see that the laws are applied justly and maintaining law enforcement
to keep the peace and apprehend wrong doers. Anything else is not good
with the possible exception of dealing with natural disasters which
private parties or persons have not the means to cope.

I used to work for government contractors. Then in 1968 I said never again.

Sometimes.

Then you are a part-time thief? Taxation is theft. An evil, but a
necessary evil. That is why it should be confined to only necessary
things that must be done publically.

C'mon, "consultant" is a polite term for whore

And apparently "Eric Chomko" is a polite term for classless juvenile
moron.

Ease up Rand, can't you even take a joke?

I love jokes. Jokes have this critical characteristic, though.
They're supposed to have an element of humor.

Man I knew I get a reaction out of you but no need to go ballistic.

Calling me a whore is no need to go ballistic?

Correct, unless it is true I guess...

My comment about you was more true than your idiotic statement about
conultants.

And it's more outrageous if it's not true.

But someone who isn't a moron would understand that.

Is that when you lost your last contract? And now they are evil.
Figures...

You suffer from anti socialism, and it is quite an easy button to push

You mean homonausea.

Godless Collectivism is nauseating, just like the other perversions
man succumbs to, like being a leftist queer.

I guess rightist queers are okay in your book?


Man was not intended to be a slave. He was intended to be an
individual. Man was not intended to shove his erect penis into the
lower bowel of another man. He was intended to shove it into the
vaginal canal of a woman.

Look I'm not going to argue what is meant and and not meant to be WRT
sexuality. I guess you're just fine with lesbianism but hate male
homosexuals only.

The biggest perversion of all, however - the one that accounts for the
human condition for all of recorded history - is best exemplified by
the Milgram Experiments - the penchant for accepting authority
uncritically. If, for example, man had practiced tyrannicide over the
millennia we would not be in the ****ed up mess we are today.

Yeah, there is always greener grass on the other side. I really thought
more of you in this regard and here you are selling yourself short.

Man has been on a death march since civilization began and bullies
took over by creating govt - a death march on the road to Armegeddon.

It isn't that bad. We are what we are, not what we could or should be
you utopian-desiring leftist. ducking

Govt is the root of all evil - it is a criminal cabal. Death to all
criminal politicians and the lawyers who feed them.

Govt. is just another form of human socialization, necessary, though
inherently evil. It is simply better to get used to it. Hey, you should
join in to some degree, rather than live in an anarchist 'us vs. them'
world. That is healthier than trying to just eliminate it, as it is
necessary. Our founding fathers knew this, why don't you?

If Christ does return at the last minute, He is going to kick some
serious ass. If I were Christ, I would stay away - the human race is
not worth saving. It is the result of the great apes ****ing sheep,
producing a long line of cowards too chicken**** to kill criminals on
the spot.

Citizen Bob (Kane?), your suspicion of government is healthy, your
penchant for anarchism is not.

Trust me, you'll be happier with my approach rather than with yours.
You DO want to be happy don't you?

So, you've decided not to read up on transfinite arithmetic,
but to continue to ask questions the answer to which require
at least some background in transfinite arithmetic?

Interesting strategy. Not clear what it's intended to accomplish.

Assembly language shift operations to the left or right which are not

The bit bucket. So what do you intend to do with all those bits?
