Has anyone else found that Mince's silly new avatar slows down the scrolling process?

You have a scrolling process, Roger?

Tell us more.

It goes all wobbly when it passes Mince's avatar.

And what would "it" be exactly?

TRANSLATION: Change the avatar you utter waste of space and stop annoying me.

My new avatar hopefully will bring an air of the esoteric to this board.

I actually liked the one that gave Roger problems with his scrolls. I'm not so keen on sums.

I think Roger dreads to see the slow scrolls happen again.

The Dread See Scrolls.

Sums!??


SUMS!??? [Imagine John Cleese's outraged voice here.]


Do you not recognise this particular "sum"?

Is it...? Could it be...? No!....YES!....Yes, it is....It's Algy! Algy Bra - I'd recognise him anywhere.   ..0

I see you've decided to take over the punning role while Peeps is away. Well done.

Still keeping an eye on things from afar though, Roger :-)

That "rolls-eyes" smiley was nicely slipped in, Tarquin.

You're all working well.

I was intrigued by Mince's avatar too, but I figured he's just used it to try and impress the women. Fortunately the birds who come on here have brains slightly larger than an amoeba's shoe's lace-hole, and can see through his superficiality.  ..0

Actually, he was right. He said he had found a proof for it, but that the margin of the book was too small to contain it.

I reckon he was lying about his proof.

Well, have you heard of the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture? Do you know what a modular function is?

Here's where you can do that funny joke about "Manila envelopes" again, Mince.  ..0

Actually, we've moved on from Manila and have flown to Puerto Princesa in Palawan. Just here for a couple of days before we fly back to Manila and then on to Cebu and Bohol. Lots to see and do. It's hot and humid, and the people are very friendly. It's evening now and I'm sipping beer in a hotel watching lowly life forms such as lizards crawling about where they're not welcome.

Which brings me back to Mince...

Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture - any elliptic curve over Q can be obtained via a rational map with integer coefficients from the classical modular curve

X0(N)
for some integer N; this is a curve with integer coefficients with an explicit definition. This mapping is called a modular parametrization of level N. If N is the smallest integer for which such a parametrization can be found (which by the modularity theorem itself is now known to be a number called the conductor), then the parametrization may be defined in terms of a mapping generated by a particular kind of modular form of weight two and level N, a normalized newform with integer q-expansion, followed if need be by an isogeny.



I think (sorry wikipedia thinks lol)

It has taken Mince 3 months to swat up on Fermat's last Theorem, the bogs have been nearly out of action as he swatted this up.

A tad TOO much information, Peter!
