Will changing the default port connection better my speed? And also, who's the MPAA and why would they care?
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Crap, I missed the whole 'i' discussion. Anyway, calculus seems almost as bizarre to me as 'i'. You could describe intergral calculus as adding up an infinte number of infinitely small things. (Not technically correct, but... that's one way of looking at it.) Which is bizare, and fun (for some of us) and also very useful.

The MPAA is the motion pictures organization who believes that you are out the bankrupt the entertainment industry as we know it by getting your TV shows off the Internet rather than watching it on TV with ads, like a decent person. They're the TV/movie version of the music organizations who want all music downloads stopped in the name of fighting piracy.

Oh, duh. I feel like a dork for not making that connection.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Will changing the default port connection better my speed?
It seems to help, in that the people with faster torrents will play with you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The MPAA slapped me on the knuckles this week. I feel very ... well, annoyed, but hey. I was stealing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thus "proving" my philosophy, which is that nothing is an absolute, including math, and therefore nothing should be presented as such.
Actually the converse. Because numbers behave the same and retain the same properties regardless of what happens in the real world, they're not empirical. There's nothing that could happen physically to disprove '2 + 2 = 4', for instance. If ever we find a substance where you add two units together and you get less or more than 4 units, we don't change the mathematical system, we use a different number to describe the end result. (And then physicists set about working out why it didn't equal 4, but that's physics, not maths.)
