Hyperbolic thread titles!
Clearly a slow Saturday.:D
And a chilly one too. It is -10C here in Richmond Hill at the moment. -1C is the warmest it has been since I arrived two weeks ago. Grover Norquist talks about his Colbert Report appearance | No Fact Zone::
this was at best, irresponsible and tasteless, at worst, a taunt. Disgusting. Amy Sedaris Rocks. PaulDinello.net. Shock Productions. Tonys SWC Site

happening (and I do it mostly for the laugh), but at the same time I am utterly disgusted and completely appalled by the demeanour of these hypocritical pieces

I would rather stay in the middle.
I'd get even more dizzy staying in the middle watching the rest of them spinn around.

My degree in mathematics is probably the best explanation for my continuing belief that AC fare categories are indeed simplified :p
So that their fare classes really aren't infinte now. Well... at least if they are infinite, they are countably infinite :).

I thought hyperbolic threads were those which fly off in opposite directions without ever quite getting to the point...as opposed to the elliptical threads which just go round and round while leaving out all the important stuff...

I have forgotten 95% of the calculus and trigonometry I learned in school. :p Really, does it come in handy for FF travelers like ourselves? ;) :D
BBC - Comedy - The League Of Gentlemen::
Most appalling and most famous, however, are characters such as Papa Lazarou, on paper but which sounds utterly disgusting, and Tubbs and Edward, who run

You remember as much as 5%?
I'm impressed!
Iäd be happy if I remembered 0.5% of it.
1+1 = ........
Wait! I know this one!

Vaclav - unfortunately, there are many that feel that the losses we have had are no loss at all.

Hyperbolic thread titles!
Zorn, it has been a while since the quality of the threads on this forum has been heading down the slopes, faster nad faster, I am afraid to mention. Many of those "quality" contributors are gone. Nowadays, the novices mostly want a freebie or ask a question so rudimentary that it is appalling. I used to spend a lot of time here lurking and sometimes contributing. Nowadays, I am done almost in no time.
Shame on us!
....
And yes, most of us indeed do find AC's changes to the IKK thingy utterly disgusting.
You got that right.
Vaclav - unfortunately, there are many that feel that the losses we have had are no loss at all.
A little presumptuous, don't you think? I would wager there are more folks like myself who feel the losses suffered as of late and hope the trend is only a temporary one.
Ah - I thought that you meant hyperbolic functions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_function), not hyperbole :).
I seem to recall he is an academic. But probably not in math or hard (i.e. real) sciences.

Well, you could say that this thread is approaching its limit.
Hyperbolic thread titles!
hy·per (hpr)

Hyperbolic is indeed the way to make hyperbole into an adjective. It's also the way to make an adjective out of hyperbola.
A few dictionaries I looked at list the non-technical meaning first, e.g. Merriam-Webster:
Main Entry: hy·per·bol·ic
Function: adjective
: of, relating to, or marked by hyperbole
I seem to recall he is an academic. But probably not in math or hard (i.e. real) sciences.
I have one degree in mathematics, and another in statistics. I admit I have descended in the world of engineering, but I am not one of them. I merely work among them. I'm too lazy to actually do a job that involves solving a problem more than once.

So that their fare classes really aren't infinte now. Well... at least if they are infinite, they are countably infinite :).
1.2.3.4...n.n+1...They were never infinite -- AC can only have a max. of:
36 (26 letters A-Z + 10 digits 0-9) ^ 8 (max. number of characters in the fare basis) = 2 821 110 000 000 different fares per route :)
Perhaps, not many.:eek: ;)
oh dont start than again ;)
The mods need to start moving or deleting threads. Move 'em to the chit chat or jet blast sections. I too have found the recent rash of threads hard to follow. :(
Or condense 2 similar threads into one.
But some good news, it was the sticky fare class thread that answered the very first question that brought me to this site ^
I seem to have 'stuck' here now...

For the record on does not descend into the world of engineering..... one ascends! Although like a dog chasing a car, one does not know what to do once they get there.

Nah.......I just remember basic stuff such as flat = 180 deg. Never forgot that formula as I use them to measure the reclineness of airline seatings. ;)

Many does not necessarily = most ;)
And there is somthing about silent majorities often not having the dominant message.

At the moment, you would be best served by either doing a RBP, or PMing skofarrell or Randy Petersen.
Q Shoe Guy and myself do not have the ability to make the changes you suggest.
