Never spend money you don't have, just charge things to your card and pay it off at the end of the month Isn't a debit card better for that?

The approach explained in the article is similar to the one used by Popego, the "interests graph".

Thank you :) My spelling is ok (more or less), but my pronunciation is terrible.

Really? I speak Spanish so I have the inverse problem; my English pronunciation is funny.

I agree, it's an excellent article indeed. And also, note that its advice doesn't apply only for the open source world but to any kind of software contracting.

Thanks for a very insightful comment.

Real numbers can have infinite digits, but only after the point, such as pi. The size of any number, even if it's real, can't be infinitely big (a real is between two integer numbers, and integer numbers have to be finite). So yes, 1000(...

If that's what you mean, then I define a new number, R, that is different to all numbers in the sequence. It's defined as usual. How do I know that this R number is different to all numbers in your sequence? Well, I can take any M number fr

Let's see if I understand it well: You define a numbering scheme that goes like this: - the first number is, say, 0 - the Nth number is so that, its Mth digit for M<N is different to the Mth digit in M Do I understand you well?

You aren't undestanding the proof well; the proof isn't flawed. The best way to see it is to read it on a math book with full symbols and so on. Then you can see that there is no flaw, as every step follows from the previous one and that th

I never really accepted Cantor's idea. First off if you have a sequence ...1 and ...0 at infinity they are the same number so saying you flip the last bit does not demonstrate that the above number is not in your set. It doesn't work like

Isn't it something like this? 0=a-a, for all a (where a-a is actually, a+(-a)) so: mul(b,0)=mul(b,(a-a))=mul(b,a)-mul(b,a)=z-z=0

Oh, I thought he was saying something like you could have real numbers with division by zero as far as you didn't want to have a special class of numbers, the integer numbers. So I was very curious about that, as I studied fields and all th

How does this relate to the original comment? What I want to know is how you can divide by 0, so that then you can't define integers.

Infinity is a much studied concept in mathematics; the problem is not that we don't know what infinity is but that we know it's not part of the set of integer numbers, real numbers, etc. But there are many ways to work with infinities, and

I liked it, I think it has very impressive functionality; I think you won't have a problem selling it to some company. The search market is huge and doesn't end at Google.

Thanks for giving a more human side of the story. I think Godin is a very good self promoter, but I also think he's someone like Tom Peters: an out of the box marketer. He has different ideas, he can support them, but also he chooses a more
