Ack, I looked at his <a href="http://ca.geocities.com/na2boodie01/TODAY/" target="_blank">website</a>!

If Mr. Sammi wishes to communicate effectively with "the learned few", perhaps he should learn to spell.

I think that website is a candidate for a Something Awful link. Check out the <a href="http://ca.geocities.com/na2boodie01/RESUME/index.html" target="_blank">resume</a> too.

Not at all. What was reconstructed here by you was an ill-worded, ill-conceived misinterpretation of a well-posed question.

Replace "on" by "in" and you'll have the truth.

Anywhoo, but I do a damned good impersonation of one. Would you like to see my GW Bush?

<strong>My answers stand and those who wish to interpret them can.</strong>
I have no answer to the things that have been pointed out to me, so I will ignore them. The alternative would be to acknowledge some error or shortcoming on my part, and this is not in my superior nature.

<strong>Never have I heard the stupidity of a random event being probable as it is being predictable. What was constructed here was an ill-worded, ill-concieved student mathematical question which needed to be stepped on.</strong>
I did not understand the question.

Quote:
<strong>I stepped on it, and the rest follows.</strong>
I stepped right in it, and the pompous blathering of my posts has followed from that as a desparate attempt to wipe my foot.

Quote:
<strong>The brain teaser in my mind was the validity of such a question - My interpretation. Those who wish to follow blindly into the fires of Mars, do so at their own cost, but nit I, as I will question and point out the flaws of propogating such unwarranted applications of probabilistic determination.</strong>
The clear English of the original post became a confused mash in my mind. The rings of Saturn may promulgate the neocultural paradigm of a self-justifying reality but nits are itchy, as I will question the subsemanticist patriarchial theory and its abundance of deconstructed determinations.

Quote:
<strong>Aahz, in using the term infinity, one casts asperations on the outcome.</strong>
As indeed, I have aspirations of becoming an infinitely coherent thinker and writer.

Quote:
<strong>It will never happen.</strong>
As long as I stay off the medication.

Quote:
<strong>The sloppiness of my incursions into mathematical grammer is a reflection on your inability to grasp the point, especialy if it is not spoon fed to you.</strong>
You cannot understand what I am saying because I have expressed myself in a sloppy and incoherent manner; this is your fault. I am also a senior master of comprehensive circularity in the logical determination process.

Quote:
<strong>In colleges and universities one may have to please a professor in utilising the grammer of the moment, however I do not.</strong>
And in general discussions one may also find oneself better understood, and one's ideas given more credibility, if one can utilise normal English grammar - however I feel more comfortable in rejecting the prevailing cultural paradigm and expressing myself in obscure, incoherent terms which I can justify by my senior philosophical status.

Quote:
<strong>For the learned few who may read, should certainly comprehend the sloppiness of my methods. It is in such a manner I wish to act.</strong>
I am sure that learned people, or even people of mere average intelligence, will have nothing better to do with their lives than attempt to deconstruct my sloppy language and inconsistent use of terminology to arrive at an understanding of my true meaning and thereby comprehend the probabilistic vastness and universality of the concepts I propound. I have no choice but to act this way, given the limitations of my education and intellectual capabilities.

Quote:
<strong>In infinity theory, infinitely small and infinitely large, have no bearing on the crux of the result. It aint't gonne happen.</strong>
Whatever you say to me, no matter how infinitely clear and reasoned or however infinitesimally rude and sarcastic, will have no impact for my intellect is superior.

Quote:
<strong>Perhaps a more suited example should have been chosen to examplify the applicability of permutations in probability theory.</strong>
On the other hand, perhaps I should stick to philosophy.

Oh, why yes, it is clear now. For you infinity and zero have the same measure in terms of probability. Man, that is funny Mr. Sammi, can you be any more incorrect?

Quote:

It is nice to know you recognize your own failings.

My aren't you testy. A bit of advice, don't pretend to hold forth with great knowledge on a subject you clearly know so little about.

Quote:

Translation: "I make sh*t up."

Thanks, I did notice the sloppiness.

Quote:

So, you finally admit Tronvillian was correct. Good for you.

Quote:
In infinity theory,...
Why do you mean H-Infinity theory. What does this have to do with probability theory and the question at hand. Why don't you explain it for us dolts?

Quote:
...infinitely small and infinitely large, have no bearing on the crux of the result. It aint't gonne happen.
So....your comment is irrelevant then?

Quote:

Oh...in other words you are going to crib other people's answers. Okay then.
