Yeah, China mostly. You guys never saw those? I know some people who actually bought these machines. :lol:

The idea is right but the explanation is wrong.

I won't ruin the funny thread by correcting it.

Don't infinite integers = 0? (-)+(+)

By all means, do clarify if you want to. I just found the image hilarious due to the circumstance of the illustration. Even if I had no idea what they were talking about, it's still a funny image. Just make sure that if you do explain it, post some funny pics, too, so your post isn't too off-topic.;)
 
Ten-Ten-san! Nice to see you back, man! Pull up a nail keg and set a spell.

Sure, I'll post here what I sent in a PM to Omnis:

There are two kinds of infinty, countable and uncountable. Countable can be mapped to 0, 1, 2 ... while uncountable cannot. Integers are countable, because you can map the positives to the evens, like n->2n (n>0) and the negatives to odds n->-2n+1 (n<0). You could also call the integers "sparse."

Real numbers, on the other hand, cannot be mapped, because if you had a mapping, then I can always make a new real (that is not in the list) from existing reals by taking the average of them. Reals are "dense" in this way.

Also, it's interesting to note that there are countable rationals in the interval (0,1).

An easy way to look at this is, if you can make a list, and no one can say you have excluded a number, then those numbers are countable.

It is pretty cool to think there are more real numbers in (0,1) than the integers in the whole number line. :)

And, if you're interested, I think this does a fair job explaining in more detail.

And, the (unrelated) funny picture:

Breakin' was an awesome movie. I don't even care what anyone says ever.

Oh, and awesome av, Omnis. HAADO GEI DESUUUUU!!!!

That right there is hilarious! Reminds me of a show I went to a few weeks back where the preppy chicks had no idea what to do when the mosh pits started!:lol:
 
It takes a real friend to let you stand on their back to make an animated gif. :lol:

Sweet. Turbo PC. How fast does it spool?
You know what's really funny? A lot of crappy PCs from the '80s actually had a TURBO button on them. I mean, did they expect people to sit there and say "Hrm, do I want my computer to go faster or slower today?"

That was for early programs that were poorly written, and only worked properly with slower cpu clock frequencies... quite a few old DOS games were dependant on the cpu clock speed. The whole game was accelerated as you tried them on a faster PC, and even some games from the 90s did that (for example, Test Drive III, which had digital pictures and 3D models, is unplayable on a recent pc without some kind of "cpu throttling" software).

Now if someone could explain the "boost" button on stereos in the 80s...
