Once it woke up at 3:00 a.m.
tommy, are you saying that your Apple and my computer are somehow responsible for the balance of the universe? Because that would give a lot more meaning to the truth in "everything is my fault".
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

YYyyyes! I rock! I found a polynomial of degree >0 in Z4 that has an inverse!
Okay, it's really not that exciting. I just needed to apply FOIL backwards. But I didn't think I could do it, because... I already lost everyone except t, tommyrot, and Nilly, didn't I? Anyway, polynomial which multiplied by another polynomial equals 1.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think that's the only possible explanation....

Yay, Emily!
[Edit:

Well, the system administrator is going to shut my side of the global balance down on Wednesday afternoon to see if he can do something about its re-freezings. Just in case you want to be responsible for the next apocalypse.]

What's Z4?

Go Emily! Woo-hoo!

That should be Zsub4, but I'm lazy with the HTML. Basically, it's {0,1,2,3} with operations defined on it, so 2*2=0, 3+2=1, etc. So 2x+1 is, unless I'm mistaken, its own multiplicative inverse (that is, (2x+1)(2x+1)=1).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had such high hopes for doing useful things today.
Oh well.
