Understanding you to be a distinguished algebraist (that is, distinguished from other algebraists by different face, different height, etc.), I beg to submit to you a difficulty which distresses me much.
If x and y are each equal to 1, it is plain that
2 * (x^2 - y^2) = 0, and also that 5 * (x - y) = 0.
Hence 2 * (x^2 - y^2) = 5 * (x - y).
Now divide each side of this equation by (x - y).
Then 2 * (x + y) = 5.
But (x + y) = (1 + 1), i.e. = 2. So that 2 * 2 = 5.
Ever since this painful fact has been forced upon me, I have not slept more than 8 hours a night, and have not been able to eat more than 3 meals a day.
I trust you will pity me and will kindly explain the difficulty to Your obliged,
A good example of a priori knowledge: "All bachelors are unmarried". This is true, because it's so by definition, it's probability == 1. The effect of boxing is not so obvious as you claim (prior probability that repeat head trauma causes damage: <1), and should be verified. See also roel_v's responses in this sub-thread.
Platforms differ, and the limits.h reflects this, that's the point. We should use the abstractions (the #defines) of the standard library, i.e. refer to these values by their names, that's the way to write portable software.
"The ultimate reason for the lower Japanese body esteem
may perhaps concern broader cultural and historical
perspectives. Being part of the West, but non-Caucasians,
Japanese people seem collectively to experience high
incongruence between their Western-oriented bodily ideals
and the perceptions of their own body. "

You are right. edanm asked for some evidence that there are idiots who think Japanese worship white people. It seems there are many, so the article really targets an existing problem. That's the point.
