Excuse me for my curt response as I am too smart for the average crowd, but definitely too stupid for this crowd.
Micro_fur will now be a spectator only, he is depressed about family news he just recieved.

That thermodynamics joke OWNS, especially since they're feeding the demon table scraps.
Micro, I want to offer up any sympathy that is appropriate for whatever's going on with you. Hang in there, guy.

One problem with those equations...
- The one for F_o? Given your definition of φ, F_o becomes, simply:
F_o = F_T cos θ + F_r - The integral for θ:
Any definite integral of an odd function over an interval symmetric about the origin is zero.
tan^-1(z/a) is an odd function.
(Just because a=x+y here doesn't mean it's not a constant w.r.t. the integral over z.)
Therefore, θ=0 - Your integral for Δ solves to:
Δ = φ^2 cos(θ/φ) + θφ sin(θ/φ) - I have no idea what the last integral solves to, or how you got to it from the previous equations. But, maybe this physicist's just getting rusty in his old age...

I honestly was just playing alphabet soup, making sure to throw in some integrals and greek letters to make it look "college level". A few things mean something, like delta over twelve being the RMS error introduced by a quantization step of delta in an otherwise ideal quantizer, but it's pretty much the mathematical equivelant of saying "blah blah blah, gibble foon".
Is this a cop out? You bet your sweet bippy it is.

Is this phrase more common than I thought or have you been following the rise and fall of PDI?allan_ecker wrote:... You bet your sweet bippy it is.

There's also an old BC comic that uses the word "bippy", albeit in onomatopeia format. And yes, I know I spelled that wrong. I haven't spelled that word right in 10 years.
All fear the RP character from the completely private RP ^_^.

Laugh-In reference, not related to PDI.
BTW, is that comic getting any easier to read? Last I looked it made Unit Zero look like a Dick and Jane book.

No. At least not as a stand-alone comic since it relies so much on other comics much like Graveyard Greg's "Gaming Guardians" though not nearly that bad.
The author, Scix, is going to launch a new comic based entirely around one of the characters of PDI since he realized that that was the focus he was missing from his comic. He was going to try to wrap up PDI but instead went on hiatus; no news yet on when he will work on either endeavor.
