Re: What do you think?
I think they already know.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: What do you think?
No surprise, considering how many people are probably watching you this very moment. That is one thing I particularly dislike about America.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Watching you as in surveillance?

No, watching you as in watching you to get information on you. I believe what I am talking about are called spy organizations.

Get used to it. Cameras are going up all around the world.

Re: What do you think?
New problem
C is asked to do a simulation for a Vegas casino. He does not trust the built in random number generators in his favorite language so he constructs his own.
with x0 = 3
On the basis of his simulation a suspected cheating dealer is fired. The dealer appeals and an outside consultant, you guessed it, B is called in. B runs his own simulation and recommends keeping the dealer and not paying C because his work is faulty. C is outraged and carries the argument in here:
C says) That was a rotten thing to do B! My simulation was right on the money.
A says) I think B has finally snapped. It must be all those aliens he believes exist.
E says) Your simulation? Ha!
B says) Sorry C but you are one halaciously bad programmer and an even worse statistician.
D says) Halaciously? I must write that word down.
B says) I made it up D. The usually adjectives do not fit C!
E says) You mean adverbs?
A says) I checked C's generator and it is great, I think they should have fired B.
Can you figure out what might have went wrong?
