    The original notation was wrong BTW, it's not a partial deriviative.

    And the answer is a bit of an anticlimax.

    Also, wolfram can answer it I bet... oh.

    I could maybe answer that as still have a lot of maths books on my office bookshelf. Or perhaps not as I may not understand them anymore, I just leave them there because they look impressive.

    I managed to sign up, but not sure what to.

    Would I be right in thinking I'll now be bombarded with spam comprising, literally, random numbers?

    Presumably one could download terrabytes of random numbers and check out the non-deterministic nature of photonic emission in semiconductors and subsequent detection by photoelectric effect for oneself. Einstein could have had a field day.

    But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the "old one." I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice.

    zeitghost could get that right but it doesn't verify he's human.

    Plus any number of daleks.

    Security lapses like that could open us up to world domination.
