That;s very interesting http://www.jimjamesnetwork.com/consult/mfb said:1.2*1012/(300*106) = 4000, not 4 millions. This larger billion would be the US GPD of a month. Which makes sense, if you divide it by the population you get something of the order of a monthly income.
That larger billion not typically German by the way, it is widely used in Europe and some other regions. Long and short scales
Wikipedia has a map. Red=Short scale (1000 millions are a billion), Blue=Long scale (1 million millions are a billion)
...or if you think redundancy is necessary.WWGD said:No, PIN is the right way in here unless you think redundancy is necessary.
I meant it may or not be necessary depending on the context.Ibix said:...or if you think redundancy is necessary.
I must say, I can't think of a circumstance where such redundancy is necessary. While PIN number and ATM machine seem to be common usages, I think they're incorrect and my inner pedant leaps to the fore every time I see them. I was just duplicating your comment on redundancy for - apparently ineffective - comic effect.WWGD said:I meant it may or not be necessary depending on the context.

Sorry again, man, I have been too square recently :1,4,9,16,.. it's all I am. But I agree that the repeated need to deal with unnecessary redundancy is not needed. And I am pretty sure I don't walk alone on that one, nor do I march by myself, nor displace myself solo, in my search to avoid having others with me as I ambulate.Ibix said:I must say, I can't think of a circumstance where such redundancy is necessary.

Red Bull?? Why do you restrict yourself to just two of the main food groups?Enigman said:All hail Caffeine! Glory to the Dark Lord. And more sugar... definitely, more sugar.
I thought that was from Paul Erdos.fresh_42 said:Recently I've heard on a TV show (Numbers): "Mathematicians are people who transform coffee into theorems."
Apis?Enigman said:Coffee. Black as the sky on a moonless night and sweet as its silence. The age of Apis is past, the night has fallen.
Alfréd Rényi, who was addicted to coffee, is the source of the quote: "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems", which is generally ascribed to Pál Erdős. It has been suggested that this sentence was originally formulated in German, where it can be interpreted as a wordplay on the double meaning of the word Satz (theorem or coffee residue), but it is more likely that the original formulation was in Hungarian.WWGD said:I thought that was from Paul Erdos.

In order to avoid that, I think I must not become attached...
Oh I hope you will be able to stay with us!Psinter said:You know which member from the forum I miss? @drizzle
I've been thinking and it sucks to become attached to people. In an old forum which no longer exists I made friends and I missed them a lot when it vanished. That won't happen to PF, but I may soon not be able to come here. And when that happens I'm sure I will miss a lot of you.
In order to avoid that, I think I must not become attached. That's what my logic tells me.![]()
The last time I spoke to drizzle she was going home to her sister's wedding, haven't heard from her since. Why wouldn't you be able to come here?Psinter said:You know which member from the forum I miss? @drizzle

Oh wow, I miss Cyrus, haven't spoken to him in ages. Pengwuino stopped coming here when we went to the new forum and didn't have PM in chat.Borg said:BTW Evo, I saw Cyrus visit after a long absence.
