Worthy of survival

On Wed, 01 Nov 2006 01:11:00 GMT, in a place far, far away,
(Wayne Throop) made the phosphor on my monitor glow
in such a way as to indicate that:

::: So infinity + infinity = 2infinity?

:: Google Cantor Transfinite Number Set Theory
:: The first thing you learn is that there are more real numbers than integers.

: "Eric Chomko"
: By how much?

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.

Never sure what Eric is trying to accomplish, but it's always clear
that he accomplishes to convince intelligent people that he's an
idiot.

Okay Wayne, you got me. What should I read and where should I start?

I was not defending NASA. I can't imagine what mental deficiency
would cause you to think I was.

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.

What comment?


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

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

Then you're clueless...

Figures...


**** no! I did decades of contract work for companies that earned their
money honestly. I would not work for contractors to government at any
level. I did database work for insurance companies, stock brokers,
banks, and manufacturing firms. There was lots of good money out there
having nothing to do with government.

They would become the Ten Suggestions and would be compromised in a
joint House-Senate committee.

Along with a rider for $300 Billion in miscellaneous pork projects, $500
Billion to "subsidize" corporate farms (as well as the few true family
farms that are left), amendments called "Reduce Global Warming Act" that
helps energy producers remain profitable by reducing regulations on
pollution and a "Working Wage Act" that eliminates the minimum wage.

Poor Eric. He'd argue if someone explained to him that water is wet.

He's got to smarten up a lot to rise to 'dip****'.

Hint: Try Googling 'Transfinite Arithmetic' and reading what comes
up. To help you out, let me start you with:

"Perhaps, thought Cantor, once you start dealing with infinities,
everything is the same size. Oddly enough, this did not turn out to be
the case. Cantor developed an entire theory of transfinite arithmetic,
the arithmetic of numbers beyond infinity. The results are surprising.
Although the sizes of the infinite sets of counting numbers, even
numbers, odd numbers, square numbers, etc., are the same, there are
other sets, the set of numbers that can be expressed as decimals, for
instance, that are larger. Cantor's work revealed that there are
hierarchies of ever-larger infinities."
