| Quote (Disasterpiece) Basically everything they did was unprofessional. The ban and the rep was just stupid.
Maybe he should visit other forums and learn something from other moderators...
Quote (Disasterpiece) Has anyone been on physforums? I like it (just got an account) but the intelligent people are silenced by a wall of stupid.
I've been on a forum about cosmology, where people is... i don't know... they keep talking about super-complex things that I hardly understand with my low-level english 
Anyway, "stupid people" will always be more of "intelligent people", for this reason the war still exists and our civility keep going backwards...

I actually would trust you, a person (or robot?) I have never met, more than many others I can think of.Added (30.08.2013, 05:39)

| What's your favourite numbers?
Here's one I like: 142,857 Why?
1/7 = 0.142857142857...
142857 × 1 = 142857
142857 × 2 = 285714
142857 × 3 = 428571
142857 × 4 = 571428
142857 × 5 = 714285
142857 × 6 = 857142
142857² = 20,408,122,449 and 20,408 + 122,449 = 142,857
142.857×7 = 999,999 and 142+859 = 999 and 14+28+57=99
1+4+2+8+5+7=27 and 2+7=9.
And much more but mostly consequences of the above.

| Mine is a Golden ratio:
φ = (sqrt(5) + 1) / 2 = 1.6180339887...
1 / φ = φ - 1 = 1.6180339887... = (sqrt(5) - 1) / 2
φ = 1 / (φ - 1) = 1 / (1 / (φ - 1) - 1) = 1 / (1 / (1 / (φ - 1) - 1) - 1) = 1 / (1 / (1 / (1 / (φ - 1) - 1) - 1) - 1) = ...
φ = sqrt(1 + sqrt(1 + sqrt(1 + sqrt(1 + sqrt(1 + sqrt(1 + ...))))))
φ = 1 + 1 / (1 + 1 / (1 + 1 / (1 + 1 / (1 + 1 / (1 + 1 / (1 + ...))))))
...and a lot of other nice mathematics and geometry:

| Mine is square root of 2, because... there is not a true reason, but i like it

| The square root of two wasn't the favourite amomg the Pythagoreans. Legend has it that Hippasos discovered that it was irrational and for that his fellow Pythagoreans drowned him since irrational numbers didn't fit their beliefs. The murder part is probably not true, but it's a good story.

| After watching a BBC Horizon documentary titled ''To Infinity and Beyond'', I decided that my favorite number is the Graham's number.
In fact the Graham's number scares me a lot

| I'm really interested in math, and one of the numbers I like the most is -1/12. Because of this divergent series first prooved by Euler himself : 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+...=-1/12. This is a result I found more than interresting, because we can see that, according to the rules of computation, an infinite sum of positive integers can make a non-integer negative number.
Also, it can be prooved that 1+13+13²+133+...=1+8192+313+413+...=-1/12 too.
There's a lot of other numbers I really appreciate :
Integers : -1, 0, 1, 2, 12, 24, 132, 252, 691... Among a lot of other exponent, primes and remarkable values.
Non integet rational : 1/144...
Irrational : 12√2 (a magical number for musicians), the golden ratio, the silver ratio
Trancendental : log(2), γ (Euler's constant), e, 2.i.π.ℤ (as log(1))...

| An eccentric, but you have to respect him. He's changed the world, though not completely and perhaps that's fortunate. Though he doesn't use mobile phones, there would be no Android phones without him.

I'll use linux if I never have to use a terminal for anything I do with the operating system, or if all the programs I use right now were ported to linux.
So, it will be a long time before I use GNU/Linux as my primary OS.
