two more;

  "I never met an axiom I didn't like."

  "No Axioms for Old Physicists".





  "It's midnight already? Time flies when you're having fun, or I guess 
it's ten years since I last saw you—how time flies." This idiom was 
first recorded about 1800 but Shakespeare used a similar phrase, “the 
swiftest hours, as they flew,” as did Alexander Pope, “swift fly the years.”

That's just cute/catchy, but not mandatory.

>   "No Axioms for Old Physicists".

Why the Old? Just "No Axioms for Physicists" will suffice.

Ok YuriJi, you claim you are not SergioJi. Fine. I accept your word on
that.  So, btw, does anybody know what has happened to Sergio?! 
Btw Yuri, your mannerisms are very similar to those of Sergio. I mean
that as a compliment, with all due respect.

In ancient Hindi/Sanskrit the word for TIME is WAQT. Waqt makes day or night...
Now, in years, that's significantly well before my beloved Shakes-His-Speare.

Yuri, are you sure you're not SergioJi?! He disappeared, about the
exact same time you appeared. Coincidence or conspiracy? Help me...

I may have the identical word set that Sergio has, and use the same 
return addy, cause I forgot about it, and may have used similar  or the 
same nyms as Sergio, like Ergios, etc, rotation of word (how stealty!)
but it is to only cause trouble with the large databases that record all 
this, so they can't tract too easily, why? because recording 
converstations of third parties and using that information used to be 
illegal. (take that, google, facebook, yahoo, etc)

Will I, Yuri, publically admit I am also Sergio ?  perhaps if enough 
money is sent by the people in this newsgroup to  makemerich@paypal.com 
so I can buy a new monitor. I still have this 35# lead glass huge 
monitor that generates low level xrays, and down the street they a flat 
screen 10" by 8" for $25 at a garage sale, but only 8 colors.

I think Sergio is coming back, Yuri posted in here about 5 years ago, 
even back during Uncle Als time, I think even Sergio posted before then, 
NSA would paritally know.

I've heard of that movie. I've heard of a lot of movies. In fact, I've
never heard of a movie that was not simply absolutely great?! Never.

Like the tired tried old sitcom formula: One blonde girl, four guys orbiting her.

Need proof by example? Ok... M*A*S*H, Cheers, Seinfeld, Anger Management, 
TBBT, and so on... So it's 1:4 mathematical ratio. This will be on the test.

Not to worry or fear. Usenet is by default a public space/podium. Everybody
reads Usenet, yet nobody admits that it even exists in mainstream IPMM==media.

On the practical side, for me at least, it's always more interesting
to discuss with others with real actual names. Or at least, others
with a steady stable consistent userHandleID. In general, IME, being
anonymous does not make one more honest, nor does it liberate anyone.

Technologically, corporations mentioned above, have far better means
to traceRoute from where any message originated. Just yesterday, for
no good reason whatsoever, I for the first time cleared all my browser
history and its cookies. Resulted in needless headache. I did get to
experience all the machinations Google and Facebook use to convince me
that I myself am me. Ay Caramba! O(y)e bother... My smartestphone@# was
involved. My ancient long ago canceled verizon email account was involved. 

What's weird was I couldn't even use my gmail account for identification!

Here's a funny one. A X-Employer CEO, for I have many, after four five
years, calls me last month. Blah blah blah, from the selfish greedy
nutjob. Puts me on a conference call, instantly. Some CSC lady starts
asking me answers of my security questions, so that said nutjob, can
get access to the corporate servers. I provided my favorite ice cream
flavour answer. Repeatedly. She insisted I was wrong! I told her, her
database was wrong. I hung-up me m(y) iPhone! Haven't heard back since.

Funny part? They called me, from their phones to mine. Asked for me by my
name. I obliged. Then they had the audacity to conclude that I wasn't me?!

Just keep telling yourself... BigData is your friend. BigData loves you.

Good luck with that crowd funding. As for me, I'm again job hunting. Again^3!

Good point, Virgil. I shall disagree, however. Observations are biased.
The evidence of biased observations is all around us. It binds us...

Not only that, it is physically realistically impossible to observe all.

Observers may be biased, but, at least on average, observations aren't!

Without observers there exist no observations. All observations be biased.

Observations are always biased. Some more so than others. There is 
always uncertainty even when the tendency for observations to fulfill 
one expectations is minimal.

Math is clearly both invented and "discovered". In short, one "invents" 
a mathematical system by postulating axioms. Those axioms then form the 
basis of a self-consistent system of facts and rules. Generally these 
facts are "discovered" through "proofs" that use the rules of your 
system springing from the axioms to discover new relationships and 
"truths".

But because of the self-consistent and causal nature of math systems, as 
soon as one proposes certain axioms, it is clear that this immediately 
sets in cement all "truths" and rules that follow from that choice. 
Hence the choice of axioms in effect immediately creates the entire 
mathematical system which must then be "discovered" in detail.

It is important to note that it has been shown that given such a system 
all things that are "true" in that system, CANNOT be proved using ONLY 
that system. In other words so long as you stay within that consistent 
array, there will always be true things that cannot be proved using that 
system. To prove them you must go OUTSIDE of the given system.

Nonsense.

The number in a set is an absolute without either bias or uncertainty,
e.g. the number of golf balls in a bucket.

Measurements have uncertainty but not necessarily bias.

Oh look muffy, The nutjob is following me around! He's SO obsessed with 
me. I think he's even more obsessed with me than HVAC!

So you don't think it's possible to count the number of golf balls 
incorrectly? Go back to engineering. Number in sets are pure fantasy, 
not reality. Kooker.

I'm sensing that HVAC, Odd, and jimp are all the same one insane person.

You did no such thing jimp. But do keep feeding yourself your falsehoods.

Exactly, if we wanted to do things incorrectly, we'd invent Physics. O wait...

So engineering is pure fantasy, not reality?! Jimp, you're losing your marbles.

More likely your bias blinds you jimp/chimp. Open your eyes.

Pilot jimp, just stick to discussing planes and rockets. If you knew
any deeper topics, you would not be here calling others names/kooks.

BenjJi, jimp is stalking you. It's blantantly obvious. Stop it, jimp.

Be sure to make a BIG point of that the next time the check out clerk
counts your items. Stamp your feet and call him/her a "gummint" shill
if you have to.

You will show them all.
