  1. I remember old crappy websites and old virus maker websites fake websites would piss me off and I'd do a batch file that would ping their little crappy server to pieces.  I found out that became illegal so I quit doing it LOL!  People who write viruses and malware ought to be shot on sight.

  2. Infinite series isn't the actual sum total of an infinite series since the series is after all unending. Analogy: But it does provide a way to distinguish other infinite series patterns. Like looking at a 2D graph in the 3rd dimension, it'd appear as just a dot continues for ever, but realizing if you change your view point to the side you see the 2D line of infinite length, but finite thickness providing that infinite series with a finite distinguishing value compared to others infinite series.  You are changing your vantage point to provide an finite value to something that is infinite.

  3. Various investment firms and a few very wealthy people started dumping institutional money into them. Transaction quantity levels remain the same, even slightly dipping from time to time below average. Yet the prices remain high. That's been pumping the tulip craze.

  4. We pass money through electronic systems it wouldn't be that difficult to secure voting systems online.   I think the guy has a false sense of security on absentee voting or standard voting.  The same can happen to the computer systems that count the ballots.

  5. Could be big crunch, big chill, or big rip.  Not enough evidence excluding any of the three from being a possibility.  So right now, you can pick your favorite. Anyone one is as good a chance as the other until more evidence can provide which is the solution.

  6. XtremeGoose Current evidence shows universe is accelerating faster apart.  Which could end in a big rip. Or we could have an opposite effect of the jerk according to inflation model; if a reverse jerk occurred would phase change the expansion to a collapse.   Just not enough data that can falsify any of the 3 conclusively.  Big freeze, big rip, or big crunch.  So I'm thinking its still pick your favorite until more evidence comes in on excluding the others.  I personally don't pick either as my favorite. Just possibilities.  I wouldn't be surprised that its a combination of 2 or 3 of them.  Expansion freezes the universe which causes matter and energy to undergo a Bose-Einstein condensate losing identity mimicking a big crunch position of matter becomes meaningless, then the fields themselves rip transferring negative energy toward positive energy starting another universe over again. Maybe.  Just not enough evidence yet I don't think.

  7. This will be among the biggest fraud ever.
