Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh Splotila naveki velikaya Rus! Da zdravstvuyet sozdanny voley narodov Yediny, moguchy Sovetsky Soyuz! PRIPEV: Slavsya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye, Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot, Znamya sovetskoye, znamya narodnoye Pust' ot pobedy k pobede vedyot! Skvoz' grozy siyalo nam solntse svobody, I Lenin veliky nam put' ozaril, Nas vyrastil Stalin — na vernost' narodu, Na trud i na podvigi nas vdokhnovil! PRIPEV: Slavsya, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye, Schast'ya narodov nadyozhny oplot, Znamya sovetskoye, znamya narodnoye Pust' ot pobedy k pobede vedyot! My armiyu nashu rastili v srazhen'yakh, Zakhvatchikov podlykh s dorogi smetyom! My v bitvakh reshayem sud'bu pokoleniy, My k slave Otchiznu svoyu povedyom! PRIPEV: Slavsya Otechestvo nashe svobodnoye, Slavy narodov nadyozhny oplot, Znamya sovetskoye, znamya narodnoye Pust' ot pobedy k pobede vedyot!

Garrulous Glaahk The Knight Who Said Ni Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I will refrain from beginning a debate about Communism. All I will say is that behind powerful, well written anthems and propaganda that makes you feel as though you have been mistreated all these years, is betrayal by the one fact that makes us all human. Our inevitable lust for power and money. Ooops. looks like I just started something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Nobody was suggesting that there was or wasn't anything wrong with the Communist Manifesto itself.

Benford's law is a statement about the distribution of leading digits of logarithmically distributed data. The words '1', '2', ..., '9' might very well be distributed logarithmically across google search results, but that's not really an example of Benford's law.

Garrulous Glaahk llloyd Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 actually, no because we start with one, not zero, people never say the zero'th house on the left, 1st is the word, no 1 is tasted much more often, and is also much more lonely than zero. i also enjoy analogies with Santa and god, i beleive in santa but not god, for i do not want to beleive in god, but do santa.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 It's recently been divinely revealed to me that Santa Claus is real. He gives presents to everyone on Christmas, but the Flying Spaghetti Monster hides his existence by taking away or relocating some of the presents (so it looks like not everyone gets them) and planting false memories in people's heads (and relocating their money) so that the parents/spouses/whoever think they bought all the presents, when really some or all of them are from Santa Claus.

You could techinally say the zero'th house on the left but the result would be whatever you are currenty looking at. We do start at zero. Until there is a quantity we must stick with zero. For instance when you buy a piggy bank it has zero money in it. Than when you put a dollar in it, it has 1 dollar. We did start at zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
