Exactly what I was thinking

Disagree. Photons have no mass, only energy and momentum. Instead of E = mc², you want E² = m²c⁴ + p²c².

almost no athletic ability.

I came here to make sure CCS was on the list. CCS is on the list. Well played sir.

Surely you could argue that God seeded the correct initial conditions to produce exactly the evolution he desired. He is meant to be omniscient and all. I say this as an atheist with a strong determinist bent.

My friend, we are both up too late. That's assuming you're still here and haven't moved on to some inferior city.

That certainly describes everyone I've met within my field (particle physics) who has expressed an opinion on the environment.

But it's so much easier to win debates on the internet if you just assume things about the people you're arguing with...

Pretty sure very few people here are defending rape. Pretty much everyone defending the shows choice is saying that rape is terrible, but not out of character. Granted I have never read the books but this didn't seem to far out of left field to me. The show is *full* of rape, there's a lot more implied than is…

Plus, both electrons and quarks are treated as point particles. I *could* see someone making the case for neutrinos, but I've always considered smallest to refer to radius, rather than mass...

I hope I'm not the first one to mention http://www.erfworld.com/ but if I am then I'm doing my good deed for the day.

It is my pleasure. I just wish I could have found the clip on youtube.

As a 100% certified Australian I'm going to say that looks much more like a wallaby than a kangaroo.

Those commas wound me. Did you learn to punctuate with Arnold J. Rimmer?

Firefly rallied late to just beat out Star Trek, 50.3 to 49.7, but that somehow wasn't the closest match of the Second Round, as Highlander squeaked by The Chronicles of Narnia with just 50.1% of the vote;

I dunno, it never formed an easy pattern, but it spent a lot of time doing something very similar. I prefer my chaos completely whacky, double pendulum style:

A pity this comes after seeing this:

Of course! Having been educated in a nation of SI units has left me without the full intellectual suite of tools that properly educated imperial nations have. I only wish I had known this sooner so I could have properly appreciated the value of an American-made car.

Horsepower? I think that most people are accustomed to hearing it expressed in units of watts. Horsepower doesn't even have a strictly defined unit value.

I think the better way to think about it is the sum over i of -1^(i). To get the start you want you can either choose 0 or 1 (it's not really important). In this way you're not constructing your series from pairs as such, just playing with the pairing after the fact. Of course, the correct answer, as someone in…
