To be honest, I remember a lot of math by writing simple programs that use the math. Just do the same thing.

And programmers who teach math at community colleges. :)

After carefully tabulating the results of this poll I have discovered that Floridians still do not know how to vote! Though I guess if you take it at face value the poll is inconclusive. But if you...

Well I appreciate your no vote... *grumbles*

Is this an elaborate ploy to eliminate any threads that could be used to demonstrate a need for LaTeX on the forum? You be the judge.

(lol... I know... I am grabbing at straws now. Sue me)

Which is why I make such obviously convoluted arguments. I can't disagree with you on that one, Mario. I can't disagree at all. I know it comes up from time to time, but its occurance is rather few...

Alright.. I will be serious for once: Its a low priority need, I will acknowledge that right up front. And even in terms of low priority needs, its a rarely used or necessary extention. So your...

Can I answer your question with another question?

Hmmm... How lofty of me, it seems I already have.

Oh come on now. Surely my circular logic is transparent enough for you to see through. I am just trying to stick to my guns here. It was my thread afterall. I can't abandon ship mid-stream.

>> Lack of graphical formulas may make mathematical discussion somewhat cumbersome, but to say that without LaTeX we're completely unable to discuss math is absurd. <<

Now how can you be...

>> If we discussed math more often, then my answer is a resounding maybe, but we don't. This isn't the most off the wall suggestion either, so I'm gonna thank him for trying. <<

That was a...

Just you wait and see what I can dig up when I don't have class in a few minutes. Mark my words it will be good. In fact, I can promise you one whether I find it in the dregs of a 7 year old thread...

Lol! That sounds like a fair trade.

Lol... Moderator, can you change "No" to "No, I have no problem with LaTeX"

Thanks in advance.

108311 Definitely 108311....

I should have worded the No more ambiguously too... just like the "What is LaTeX"

Jesus, Mr. Wet Blanket, you make everything sound like such a bummer. Its not a terribly important thing. Its just something that is very handy to have in those instances where it might be helpful....

Agreed. As Daved pointed out though, it seems like a rather low priority addition to the site. Nevertheless when people start up with new ideas some of the old bugs miraculously start getting fixed...

Never underestimate my love of modern synthetic materials. Its epic.



Yep. Lets not even get into my sexual fetishes involving Unicode and ASCII characters.... That is a whole different...

Ditto. But lets not clutter my thread with a brief prioritized bug report. That is highly likely to shatter my dreams.

I am hoping that at the very least it will create enough public interest to maybe get Kermi to start adding support. But I am willing to let the chips fall where they may. It would be nice, but my...

Because I am a bad, bad man.

Murphy's law even applies to internet activities... Even if you explain what something is and the benefit of a feature, someone will still always vote for "I don't know what that is."

I also added...

It wouldn't hurt for the boards to support LaTeX syntax. To be honest, it really would clean up a lot of explanations. I did do some reading up on the vBulletin LaTeX hack and came across this. I...
