Three half-wits is one and a half-wit - but one is less than two half-wits* - so three half-wits is less than three half-wits.

*Two half-wits are better than one. DS6000

What quantity of wits yields the highest return?

What quantity of wits equals witless?

[mjtaylor]

I think a half wit is worth more than a nitwit? Do you agree?

Three half-wits is one and a half-wit - but one is less than two half-wits* - so three half-wits is less than three half-wits.

my bolding.

long sentences can get a bit difficult towards the end -

Is there an infinite number of half wits at WebProWorld? . . (There was only two to start with!)

Is there an epidemic . . Am I the 'carrier'. (I always wash my hands before every post sometimes)

[Tubby]

6005
I think a half wit is worth more than a nitwit? Do you agree?

6002.

No. . and 76 red rep points for exhibiting public discrimination and showing a blatant bias and total disregard toward the feelings of nit wits - Half wits and nit wits are people too.

I wish to publicly state here that 'Half wits' and 'nit wits' are equally stupid in every respect. .

[deepsand]

6006

Anyone have any idea as to the half-life of half-wits?

[Tubby]

6007

Yes! . . We half wits do have a half life . . Mostly on friday and saturday nights.

[deepsand]

6008

Since I generally need to rest Fri. nights, so as to attend to work on Sat., guess that means I've but a quarter-life.

[Tubby]

6008
Well... As long as it is a quarter FULL. . and not three quarters empty. . Then you are in compliance with the 'think positive brigade' . .

personally I feel 'thinking positive' makes all your hairs stand up. Just the same as shuffling your feet on nylon carpet - That is fun, it is what I do on Friday nights.

P.S. I just deleted 23 posts and none of them were mine?

[Tubby]

6010
I have holes in my carpet ?

[deepsand]

6011

So long as there are no hole attractors in your feet, it shouldn't matter.

[Tubby]

6012Then why do they call it 'static electricity' when it blatantly runs directly to the end of the hairs on your body and jumps off at the door handle? **** ZAAAAPPP!****

I am no physicist . but that's not 'static'. Static means "locked in the attic " where it can't move " (st-stationary in Attic from the latin Staticus nilmovus) - Who puts carpet in the attic anyway?

I do have holes in my feet! . . Now they are spreading to my best boots!

In that, what's in your carpet are electrons; holes are the places normally occupied, but now vacated, by electrons.

The electrons in your carpet are merely returning home.

[deepsand]

6015

Yes.

[Tubby]

yes! . It would seem I got ripped off. The electrons in my carpet (totally paid for) are returning home. I cannot go to see the people that sold me the carpet for a refund. because the same electrons have eaten a hole in my dress boots.

Legally those electrons are mine . . (I paid for them!)



Sorry can't add to the discussion

lol! Seems that I did add value...
Also kinda sad that Charles Coulomb formula affecting you so drastically...

F = k (q1 X q2) / d2

where F is the force, q1 and q2 are the charges, and d is the distance between the charges. k is the proportionality constant, and depends on the material separating the charges.

Steel toed = safety boots = no harness.

[Tubby]

A dark dank black Toad, stealing harness boots was arrested today at Webproworld.

A spokesman for the forum said " "It is illegal to hit toads with a golf club . . Toads have a central nervous system, they can feel pain and animal cruelty laws prohibit it"

"Is it O.K. If I shout 'FORE' before the swing? "

"YES!" (subject to review)

[deepsand]

6034

ERRATA: "Four" is acceptable; "for" and "fore" are not.

[Tubby]

6035Does it matter how it is spelt . . . when you shout it?

I seem to have been hijacked in some way at my sumpy.com site - I shall go now and wander around in the files in total bewilderment and confusion deleting things that I do not recall putting there.

Such is the case with any 'young' team... Up and down like a yo-yo. In the past two games, they have mustered up a total of just TWO shots on goal during 3rd period play. And still, they are 1 for 2. Who needs Hollywood? We get plenty of suspense just watching an Oiler game.

Question for 2011:

Will there be more leaks in the internet in 2011 than in 2010? Difficult to seal / insulate / censor this Network. So long my personal impression is that China have been more sucessful than the USA.:lol:

WikiLeaks has given China cause for worry. It knows that it has more than a few sufficiently skilled for airing its dirty linens.

Albert Einstein The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.

Why not put a tariff on their export comparable to the last 20 years unfair exchange rate. If that does not function use quantitative restrictions.

That should restore your trade imbalance with them. They have been unwilling to adjust their Juan versus the USD for too long. They smile and look soft. They are far from. Do you think a soft person become the leader of a communist one party state with 1.4 billion people:?:

Multiply by 1.2 to compensate for the inconvenience loss you have suffered during the same periode.

[deepsand]

6071

China is not the only one now engaged in, or giving consideration to engaging in, currency devaluation as a means to improve their balance of trade.

No doubt the use of tariffs as countermeasure would end up before the WTO.

[kgun]

6072

China have jailed this years Nobel Prize winner for 11 years and called him a criminal for expressing his meaning, even if he has not done anything criminal according to their constitution and / or the international agreemensts China have signed.

No doubt the use of tariffs as countermeasure would end up before the WTO.
As an economist I mean that there is no strong difference between keeping your currency below the fair price / value and a tariff.

Quantitaive restrictions is an extreme instrument and should only be used if it is not possible to use the price mechanism to restore balance.

[weegillis]

6073

In this age of economic imperialism there is no countermeasure to market flooding that will work, or have any long term effect. The wheels have been in motion for far to long. China has the world by the stones, and 'she' knows it. Tariffs only work if one's own country has competing infrastructures, which we all know, noone has, anymore--not to the extent that China has.

Due to rampant consumerism and ready willingness to turn to the cheapest price rather than best quality our country's manufacturing infrastructure is practically non-existent, no matter what the GNP or GDP might suggest. We cannot stop importing or our shelves would be bare of consumer goods, which, owing to their poor quality, will always be in need of replacement.

[deepsand]

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson

A bankier is compared to a person that loan you an umbrella when the sun shines and will have it back as soon as it starts raining.

Now China is more and more becoming the USA's bank.

It is my personal view, even if your last months trade balance with China woresened at a decreased rate, and you will end up as "Chimerika", the USA have to solve the currency rate problem with China.

P.S.
I should stop moralizing. According to WikiLeaks leaks and former US ambassador Benson Whitney to Norway:

We don't stand critiques.
We have a bad job moral.
We are selfish moralists.
We blame others.
We are a loose canon (like kgun:lol:)
It is told that Whitney will most probably not get a christmas card from our Foreign Minister Jonas Gard Støre. When Støre was asked if he would soften his critique of the USA he told, sooner the contrary. He would be more explicite.

The Assange Theatre has just started and Sara Pailin and other Republican's are central actors (http://www.webproworld.com/webmaster-forum/threads/105229-Sarah-Palin-Hunt-WikiLeaks-chief-down-like-Osama-bin-Laden).:roll:


According to our well know researcher of peace, Johan Galtung (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Galtung), the USA view the world along this axis (future leaks may show how correct he is):

Now China is more and more becoming the USA's bank.
Is it not the case that the US is China's investment bank?

Aside from letting it lie fallow at home, where else can she put her excess capital?

[kgun]

6077




Is it not the case that the US is China's investment bank?

Yes as far as I know they even buy your houses. Turbo capitalism in practice:shock:



Aside from letting it lie fallow at home, where else can she put her excess capital?
Excess capital that is IMO partly "stolen" from you via an undervalued currency. You can take some of that money back via a devaluation of the USD versus the Yuan.:wink:

How should you get compensation for the inconvenience loss is more complicated.

Overdevaluation (under shooting) is one answer.

Personally I have lost much faith in that regime that supports two of the worlds most brutal dictatorships:
Burma.
North Korea (that set the whole world at risk by it's shoot first policy).
It should be better that their currecy was made hard for some years than their government.:idea:

[deepsand]

6078


Is it not the case that the US is China's investment bank?


Yes as far as I know they even buy your houses.
The point was that China is dependent on the US for being able to invest its otherwise idle capital.

Unless and until they are able to dramatically increase domestic demand for their goods, not only are they dependent on exports to generate income, they are also unable to significantly increase domestic demand for capital.

[kgun]

6079

But their trade policy is more equal to classic mercantilism



Mercantilism is an economic theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_theory), thought to be a form of economic nationalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_nationalism),[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercantilism#cite_note-econlib-0) that holds that the prosperity of a nation is dependent upon its supply of capital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_(economics)), and that the global volume (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_economy) of international trade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_trade) is "unchangeable". Economic assets (or capital) are represented by bullion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullion) (gold, silver, and trade value) held by the state, which is best increased through a positive and healthy balance of trade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_of_trade) with other nations (exports minus imports).
The theory assumes that wealth and monetary assets are identical. Mercantilism suggests that the ruling government should advance these goals by playing a protectionist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protectionism) role in the economy by encouraging exports and discouraging imports, notably through the use of subsidies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidy) and tariffs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariffs) respectively. The theory dominated Western European (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe) economic policies from the 16th to the late-18th century.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercantilism#cite_note-econlib-0)

China's US holdings are overwhelmingly US Treasury bonds. The rate of return is conservative; but, it's stable, and very much more than that to be in China.

[kgun]

6081.

Of course, I know that.

But what are the risks if you don't stop the debt accumulation and end up like Greece, that some US economists mean you are well on the track to (http://www.percentilebands.com/#david-stockman).

I see your internal imbalance mainly as a result of overconsumption and the burst of the housing bubble. I see your external imbalance mainly as a result of an overvalued USD versus your trading partners. The J-curve effect is well known if a country devalues its currency because of balance of payments problems. Because imports are larger than exports, the short term effect of a devaluation is negative. This negative effect is bigger the bigger your import surplus is. It takes time for import and export to adjust to the new relative prices.

I know that you may be critical to a Norwegian writing this because we have one of the worlds largest national income per capita. But that is acquired by transforming oil fortune to finance fortune that shall not only benefit this but also future generations. All former and present oil producing countries have (had) the same opportunity.

[deepsand]

Some may be, but since economics is not an exact science like the natural sciences, it is part of our profession to explain why predictions and simulations failed. We can explain it in a professional language.

Given a wide enough prediction interval we can explain it in advance.

Theoretical Physics;


I assume because of the complexity involved. Since that is your profession you should know more than me.

Where data are produced by living organisms there are errors of measurement and data can not be reproduced under identical conditions. It is difficult to experiment with the economy, especially if you are in uncharted territory. More or less realistic simulation models are used.

[deepsand]

6094

In Physics, it is simply the case that not all conjectures rise to the level of becoming a formal Hypotheses, let alone pass the empirical tests of being Reproducible with Predictability required for becoming an accepted Theory.

There was a Tv program about Swedish and Norwegian soldiers (most of them farmers) were called in for war in the 1700. They had a big party and then returned home denying to fight. I like that story.

The same happened when the union with Sweden broke in 1905. Swedish and Norwegian workers denied to shoot on each other.

Difficult to imagine that happening with professional standing armies; which is something that the US's Founding Father never envisioned being necessary here.

What if the alternative were a destruction of all civil life on the earth for a much longer period or all time?

The primary effect would be the massive amounts of soot driven into the stratosphere from massive urban blazes. Assuming that it were the present nuclear arsenals involved, with most targets in the sub-tropics, the areas most affected would be North America and Eurasia; the Southern Hemisphere would be relatively unaffected.

Given that food production in the affected areas would plummet, there would be great pressure on many to migrate southward. Given sufficient mass migration, there would undoubtedly be an increase in the rates of both deforestation and industrialization below the equator.

Mankind would surely survive; civilized man, most likely. But, in a brand new world order.

problem even if you obviously have not installed Opera? I noted it just before I should go to bed. I could not sleep. I am thinking and thinking?

Is the reason browser settings, programming, or more serious reasons that Opera block AdSense code or Google block AdSense code on the Opera browser? This should definitely interest advertisers and publishers globally even if the Opera browser has a low market share.

[deepsand]

6155

Is that speaking as a woman or a man? ;-)

[edhan]

6156

Wonder if there is man first or wo-man first? Just the chick and egg story of which comes first.

[deepsand]

6157

Well, the chicken/egg issue is easily settled.

A proto-chicken laid an egg which contained a combination of male & female proto-chicken genes containing a genetic mutation that resulted in the first chicken being hatched.

[edhan]

6158

Where does the proto-chicken comes from then?

[Tubby]

I think the first was a chicken, with an egg inside.

So the question is resolved regarding 'did man or woman exist first.'

Man evolved to create some variety - silly to have a world where all the chicken are the same colour. .

[edhan]

6160

Hmmm... so man is first. The beginning of mankind - Adam.

[Tubby]

6161
No. . . Adam came later When it was realised the chicken kept producing identicle eggs. Man needed to be introduced because It was clear even at that stage that identicle women were never going to evolve into any thing usefull . .

[deepsand]

6162


Where does the proto-chicken comes from then?
From the egg of a proto-proto-chicken.

[weegillis]

6163

I've been told that when God created man, she was only joking!

[deepsand]

Hmm... never ending cycle - chick of a proto-proto-proto-chicken.

[deepsand]

6166


Hmm... never ending cycle - chick of a proto-proto-proto-chicken.
That's the nature of evolution.

[edhan]

6167

So it is always be infinite cycle that does not tell the origin.

"Thar she blows, Billy!" said the captain (who had seen the wind) to the seaman...

[deepsand]

6170


So it is always be infinite cycle that does not tell the origin.
The problem lies, not in the origin, but at what point one determines that the offspring is sufficiently different from its antecedents so as to be deserving of a new name.

Sounds interesting. From what I had heard was that God made wo-man to keep man company as he was lonely.

[deepsand]

6182

If mankind doesn't figure out how to live in harmony with all of Earth, it'll be a moot point.

[edhan]

6183

Sometimes we need to 'work' for it in order to live in harmony. Be humble and recognizing individual as themselves.

[deepsand]

6184

Man's hubris extends well beyond his relationship with his own kind.

Should he fail to come to understand that he is not the owner, but simply a caretaker of Earth, he will perish in his soiled cradle.

[edhan]

6185

Humans are living to learn and understand the way of life. Those who failed to understand will be 'recycle' or re-born again for the next cycle.

[deepsand]

6186

Which does nothing to prevent irreversible harm to the planet and its inhabitants, be they great or small.

[edhan]

6187

Humans are creatures of circumstances. When they do not feel threaten, they do not carry out preventive measures.

[deepsand]

6188

Despite their intellect, most humans are shortsighted.

[kgun]

You only have one chance to make a good first impression. It may be cliche, but it's true. And Alyssa has a few ideas on how you can make yourself memorable in any situation.

Source: http://blogs.sitepoint.com/2011/01/18/how-to-become-memorable/

That is not how I see it. It takes years and sometimes decades to know people. The first impression can be extremely wrong IMO.

Most would probably argue that there's plenty of time to worry about that later. The problem with that argument is that it presupposes that enough will realize otherwise while there's still enough time left to avoid the otherwise inevitable.

[kgun]

6207

From that thread you should remember how easy it is to program in Python. Simula is as I have told nearly self documentary, but Python is even easier IMO. Django is one Web Framework for Python (that is a C while loop). I am learning Django now and since Django is announced as



"the Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines"
it should be an ideal platform to learn more about prime numbers and continue the Prime number game on that platform.

ELMA TURL
(Mike Cross)

Elma Turl is a beautiful girl, and I'd love to have her for my wife,
She's just the kind of woman who could make me happy for the rest of my life
My daddy said, "Son, there's something you don't know, and it's something I think you oughter
Elma Turl is a beautiful girl; but son, she's my daughter."

Alice Green is a beautiful thing, and I'd love to have her for my wife,
She's just the kind of woman who could make me happy for the rest of my life
My daddy said, "Son, there's something you don't know, and it's something I think you oughter
Alice Green is a beautiful thing; but son, she's my daughter."

Well, I've been all around the whole durn county, like a buck huntin' for a doe,
But it seems every girl I'd like to marry is a wild oat Daddy sowed
So I went to my mama with my head hung down, and she asked me what the matter could be,
I told her my problem and she took my hand and said, "Son, now listen to me."

"You see, your daddy was such a good-lookin' young man, and like an eager young stallion horse
His blood ran hot, so you can't blame him for lettin' Mother Nature take her course
But you got no reason to be upset; don't you worry, don't fret, don't bother
You see, your daddy ain't your daddy, he only thinks he is; so you can marry whomever you wanter.
