Granted, it only works in Firefox under Greasemonkey, but the
installation and setup are relatively (!) painless.

I have some suggestions, but YMMV.

Sometimes I read the "good" half of such conversations for the
entertainment value.

Also occasionally I learn something. ;>)

teeheehanson, what is your problem with relativity?... I could see
from the outset of Dingle's book, that he is in a quandary
over "which clock is slower," and that is a very simple thing,
the same as the strawman paradox of the twins.

thus:
and, it's simpler to say that,
it is rational, iff the decimal part (after a finite number
of places) repeats, *including* a tail of zeroes or nines.

thus: you only have your toe in it.
the surface of the sphere is pi*d*d, and it is four times
the surface of the great circle -- a thing that Bucky
apparently didn't know, oddly enough.
it is pretty laughable, that you'd think that
you are dysproving F"L"T, because it is clear
from the available stuff that it was the key
to his method (along with the fact that
he basically created numbertheorie, dood .-)
