You've leveled loads of mages, and haven't noticed that mysticism has been removed in Skyrim? You've leveled countless fighters without noticing that stamina does not affect carry weight, and is thus only useful for mages if you plan on running away a lot? And nor did you realise that your...

1) The tools happen to be desirable consumer electronics, so obviously there is greater concern about bias. 2) If you are a freelance photographer you have to pay for you equipment, if you are a freelance web designer then you have to buy a computer, if you want to be a freelance game...

That mountain of data that allegedly makes creating arbitrary saves quickly hard is already stored in memory. File system snapshots (LVM, zfs) are common place, so I don't see the why applying the same to memory is suddenly an impossible task - just create a snapshot of the relevant game data...

Sorry, but MovieBob failed a spot check, which is strange since he said it himself: The vampire child is a pretense used to wipe out the Cullens and acquire Alice (one vampire - no idea - who says that the Volturi have been killing covens and pardoning the one gifted and conveniently especially...

My $0.02: I left because Warzones were dead and because it was flat out impossible to do any Flashpoints other than Talon/Esseles because there simply weren't enough players. The new F2P model changes nothing - you need a decent pool of players doing warzones and flashpoints for them to be...

That's exactly the same problem - you need to show that 0.9* = 9x 0.1*. I'd expect something like the following: I'll use bold N, R for natural numbers, real numbers, etc Axiom 1.1: Every non-empty bounded set of real numbers has a least upper bound Theorem 1.2: Given a r in R, there...

But what is 0.9*? How do you define it if not as sum(9x0.1^n) from 1 to infinity? You're taught a lot of lies-to-children at GCSE, and then at A-level. Yes, you can exchange the order of infinite summation if certain conditions are met (they usually are, which is why students are taught this)...

Of course that's true but you still need to prove it. Your reply is an appeal to common sense and some vigorous hand waving which is not a valid technique of proof.

You are interchanging multiplication and infinite summation, so you need to justify why you can do that here. OK, what does that even mean?

Algebraic proof: You interchange multiplication and infinite summation - 10x sum(9x0.1^n) = sum(10x9x0.1^n) which I'd avoid - to avoid that you'd have to deal with limits. For the geometric series proof you, again, assume the result than sum(r^n)=(1-r)^-1 which also requires limits - if people...
