Not if c isn't a positive real number!

D'oh! My mistake. I should have been more specific since in this case, we're really only talking about postive integers.

What about negative people and their negative populations?

I'll have you know that I treat all people and populations with the absolute value that they deserve. If that makes me a greaterthanzero supremecist, then so be it.

Hey, stereolab, it's not exactly to the OP here, but what do you think about Double-Blind listening tests, and ABX tests?

LOL...I actually had to think about it for a minute to understand why in the world you were asking me that question. Stereolab is my favorite band. I am not a stereo expert by any means.

That said, I'm very picky about music, but not nearly as picky about what I'm using to play it. A $2,000 stereo usually sounds almost as good as a $20,000 one, and I would absolutely want proof that the more expensive stereo was definitively better before spending that kind of money.
