1 * x = x but -1 * x = -x. This is also true for x == i.

>(how do you multiply to members of R^2 with each other ? you need to define it, whereas multiplication in C is already defined) You can use the geometric product, and C falls out as a result.

I was reading Shakespeare yesterday. I guess it leaked. 4*pi is of course, the most reasonable circle constant.

The trouble with applying formal logic to natural language, is in the translation. You are interpreting "when" as indicating an implication, it could also be an 'if and only if'.

It won't, because the gross combination weight is limited by law. Any weight you add to the cab comes out of the payload for a vehicle application that hauls at the legal limit.

People don't want powerful features because they can be misapplied, making a mess. These people aren't worried that they will make a mess of their own code, they are worried that they will have to deal with someone else's mes

I got Escape Velocity on a shareware disk, played until Capt Hector convinced me to convince my Mom to buy a license. (During the trial, a Capt Hector would occasionally ask you to buy a license, when the trial is over Hector goes hostile)

So in order for libertarian society to work as desired we first have to... evenly distribute the wealth? I don't think we'll find any libertarians taking that position.

>Boring example: the European driving cycle only defines measurements up to a top speed of 130km/h. So it's legal for manufacturers to ignore regulations from 131km/h onwards. Just because it's not on the cycle, does

Ah okay. So PLM systems would be used to store and manage the requirements, the requirement documents are going to be, at least in my corner of the world... Word and/or Excel templates.

That's true, it's partly why units like kilowatt-hours are used. They definitely do lead many people to confusing a unit and it's time derivative though.

Other than not being forkable to satisfy the people who's fiction is excluded, what's the problem? You can't satisfy everyone, those that want a consistent theme and voice would be unhappy if they ease up. Do any wiki's

All versions of the cross-product are vector-representations of bi-vectors. The 7d cross-product exists, but in general for [for a,b in R^7] a x b does not have a unique solution, so it's pretty unsatisfactory as an extension. The prob

This isn't a formula that is 'true', it's a minimally specified program. It takes a function g, and returns the values of it's arguments (theta and psi) that minimize the function g.
