Sure. Either that or the reverse. "They're not the same" in the sense that they can't both be clockwise. "They are the same" in the sense that we could make either one clockwise.

Exactly. So I feel like all the article really says is that "Complex numbers" doesn't necessarily tell you everything you need to know. It depends on what you're doing with them.

To be clear, this "disagreement" is about arbitrary naming conventions which can be chosen as needed for the problem at hand. It doesn't make any difference to results.

Your version of events is not supported by the article. I think what you're calling "crazy" is due process itself.

If he had been found to be here illegally, they would not need him to voluntarily consent to being deported. I hope that's obvious.

(1) "Judge" is not necessarily identical with "due process." (2) Congress can't override constitutional protections by passing new laws. That would require a constitutional amendment.

Cannabis usage is linked to self-reported better cognitive function. But some new studies suggest it's not wise to do technical interviews while baked. Nobody can explain this paradox.

Ok, there probably are folks who can't differentiate between the Physics department and the Sociology department. Or who can tell the difference but who attack both anyway. The problem for science is those folks. Right? The universitie

I checked your first example. It's from 1423, well outside the time period 500-1300. If you have valid examples, including the other works you mentioned above, please provide dates. I'm a little tired of doing that for people. Ado

It's not nitpicking. 1450 is not between 500 and 1300. You may stress "about" but I certainly didn't. I put the cut-off at 1300 very intentionally. As soon as you go much past 1300, you start to see stuff like this htt

On the other hand Texas seems to have a problem with it. But say you're right. Does "not a bad deal" make people enthusiastic about it? Why go out there and evangelize about a half-assed rewards card that comes with privacy l

Fine, good point. Medieval paintings and drawings suck, but the pottery may have been incredible. Yeah, why sacrifice dignity by providing a counterexample? Dignity is important.
