  2. Unique? They sound exactly like MGMT (from the little i've heard).
  3. Fine, they mentioned Cantor. Their explanations are disgustingly terrible, though.
  4. I was slightly annoyed that the programme on infinity was finitely long. It didn't really live up to the name, though was less disappointing than 'The Never-Ending Story'. (I haven't watched it yet, but did they talk about Cantor and the continuum hypothesis? Zeno's paradoxes perhaps? I hope so, if not, bah disappointing much?) I have to say, I don't really like the presenter, I'd have preferred Marcus Du Sautoy to have presented it. Also, this is moving at far too slow a pace and the points are being repeated with many superfluous examples. If anything, infinity is being portrayed as far more 'elusive' than it can be in practise, there's no mention of set theory and the work of Cantor upon rationalising and 'using' infinity. Annoying. Oh God, the mathematician claiming infinite mathematics is meaningless; come on, don't be so ****ing stupid, look at calculus and the use of infinitesimals, you utter douchebag. Mentioned: There can be no 'biggest' number Cardinalities of even numbers and natural numbers are the same (due to bijection) Hilbert's 'hotel' paradox
  5. Who?
  6. Final Fantasy - Has a Good Home Owen Pallett - Heartland
  7. Oh no, a quick google shows it's a song lyric, rather than a reference to the Vienna Circle and the hard verificationism as employed by the logical positivists who sprang from the aforementioned group. For a moment there, I was excited. My hopes and dreams are destroyed, once again.
  8. I'm trying to work out if this joke is what I think it is. If it is, I am surprised. If it isn't, what is it?
  9. Wouldn't we have to pay a development fee to Reading for Antonio? I'm not sure we ought to get both, I think it would really depend upon how settled (both to our game, the English game and the lifestyle) Waigo is by the end of the season, because he's 'better' than Antonio.
  10. Shakespeare was pre-1750, Dr Johnson, the dictionary and the standardisation of English.
  11. Los Campesinos! - Romance is Boring How wonderful Wichita are, getting my CD to me two days before release.
  12. Why on earth should that put you off? Read it, immediately.
  13. What a stupid thread.
  14. Because he's on loan to MK Dons until the end of the season?
  15. Joining now, or in the summer?
  16. Fffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
  17. You've talked about 'relevance to jobs' and that degrees are useful if they are appropriate to the vocation upon which one wishes to embark; the Mathematics degree I am going to start next year will be minutely relevant to whatever I choose to do afterwards, unless of course I go into research or similar. Will my degree (and others like it, Natural Sciences, Economics, History, Philosophy), which is well-respected, but doesn't necessarily lend itself towards any specific vocation whatsoever, be 'worthless' in your wizened eyes?
  18. Stu of Romsey; are all degrees and all students 'pointless'? Should they all be working? What would be your exceptions?

    The whole one game. Reliable as ever.
  20. He can't take a salary cut in that way, not when going on loan.
  21. I don't think it is.
  22. I agree, him and Brian Howard seem most plausible.
  23. Can sign him on loan with no problems.
