Disappointed

Oh good grief :-(

Can't we just forget all of this nonsence? It's stupid. All of you are acting like CHILDREN especially the one who started this. It's getting tiring and old. Chissy

But you are an insane top-poster! Who could possibly care what you think or say? Now, if you were to abandon top-posting, you would come across as a gentle soul, a profound thinker, an eminently reasonable person.

Or engage in a dialogue beyond your almost meaningless one or two line responses.

Like this one.

Why do you suppose that would be?

Your excuses appear to be getting thin lately, Gareth. Another recent newsreader failure, and now two independent claims of 'that wasn't me'.

If you're having difficulty with getting confused with other people, why not do something simple like use a unique identifier? Might I even suggest that people would take you more seriously if you posted with your real name? You used to do that, I don't know why you stopped.

Well, I've observed the Airy R. Bean that's been posting to comp.dsp has 'wigged out' pretty regularly.

Gareth, FWIW, that's another e.Bob technique: complain to people's ISPs or employers. That's not a new troll behavior. If you want to really be different than e.Bob you're going to have to come up with something better than that. Otherwise I'm still half suspicious that you're just a virtual reincarnation of him.

Another pattern that I've noticed, which isn't unusual in the general populace but seems to be amplified with Gareth, is that he latches on to something that somebody written to him and then uses it repeatedly. For example, if I have it correctly, somebody used "ad hominem" to describe how he was arguing (appropriately, I might add), and now we see him use it to excess.

Recently a few folks have hinted around the psychology of the situation and now we see this come out.

Fair enough! I'm just so used to the standard notation, I haven't given any thought to this problem.

I didn't say you'd seen it defined that way.

Not clear what your point is. The title of the page is "Indefinite Integrals", and then there's a discussion of antiderivatives. It's a fact that an indefinite integral of f is an antiderivative of f, but not because the two terms mean the same thing, it's a _theorem_ that an indefinite integral is an antiderivative.

Say f is continuous. If

F(x) = int_0^x f(t) dt

then F is an indefinite integral of f. "Indefinite" is because the upper limit is a variable - but it's actually still a definite integral, just happens to be a definite integral from 0 to x. (Why "an" indefinite integral? Because int_1^x f(t) dt would be another indefinite integral of f.)

On the other hand, if F' = f then F is an antiderivative of f.

And the fundamental theorem of calculus (in one of its versions) says that if f is continuous then any indefinite integral of f is an antiderivative of f.

AT LAST, GARETH SPEAKS THE TRUTH!

COME ON GARETH, LET IT ALL OUT. CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR YOU.

Topics to include:

Why you lost your job at Westinghouse Ditto Securicor Ditto all the others

Details of your qualifications (please, we need a laugh).

Driving history (any sudden stops in front of other vehicles).

Why you no longer frequent Churches

Why should he? None of the other six go around insulting people, threatening children, or posting gibberish.

Now Gareth, behave.

Come to think of it, it is a long time since we heard your Westinghouse story.

You should probably bring all this stuff up with someone who gives a s*it...

If you had a clue it would be lonely.

Do the other 6 lie as often as you? Even Tony Blair is capable of more truthful statements than you appear to be

ROFL

I'll make that int -oo^+oo f(t).d(t-T).e^(-st) dt . Right? Here comes:

Sorry - I don't follow web leads from Usenet.

Can you post it here?

Nothing wrong with top posting.

Better than bottom post>

It is clear that it is your intention to troll.

Shame on you.
