I saw people throwing arguments at them, just to have "So, what are you saying", "I don't see that happening", "It works here", "I'm not convinced" or similar response. But, now, their own game brought them to wrong playground, our bellowed math, and it was all over in just few posts. So, dear Delphi community members, in "Idle Thoughts" thread you can witness how funny and sad is looks when someone put "I'm not convinced" response to simple mathematical proof.

He also doesn't see the need for native 64bit compiled Delphi. So it makes complete sense he doesn't know much about math. After all he is a dentist.

Witch brings into attention, why is he a TeamB member? What is his big contribution to the community, other than replies like the mentioned, not to speak about all the times he answers without reading the whole post he answers (generating unnessessary posting and use of time). Is it so that anyone that becomes TeamB is TeamB forever? Should there not be more criterias for this, other than having a blog and posting many messages? -Atle Back to top marc hoffman Guest Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2005 10:31 am    Post subject: Re: Nick ad Rudy finally exposed Atle, Quote: Witch brings into attention, why is he a TeamB member?

(3 different ones, to be exact) Irrational, isn't it? You think that was bad? Forget about mathematical logic where individual bias and opinion can skew conclusions, I once had the misfortune of debating the clear issue of Delphi's strengths with database programming with Rudy and he refused to see the /truth/. ;-P I tell ya!

This is a Delphi forum. i think the point isn't that they aren't good at math (hey, many people aren't), but that they still feel inclined to keep arguing just for the sake of arguing, on a topic they have obviously no clue about - and have been clearly proven wrong countless times. Which, i think that was the OP's point, is a common trait seen in /many/ threads where these two gentlemen are active...

He also doesn't see the need for native 64bit compiled Delphi. Stop misrepresenting what I have said. I have NEVER said I did not see a need for a 64 bit Delphi. I have said that obviously Borland does not see a need big enough to spend money on it already, if we can go by what they have said. And I'm pretty sure that of all existing Windows installations, only a small part will be 64 bits by the beginning of 2006, indeed. Prove me wrong. And despite the mathematical background of some, it seems that they might not exactly understand what a limit of a sequence is. Sequences can converge to limits, but they never fully reach it. -- Rudy Velthuis [TeamB] http://velthuis.homepage.t-online.de "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour.
