[math-fun] Time Capsule quirks
One just saved my tush. Time remaining: 26 hours and 59 minutes. ... 26 hours and 2 minutes. 25 hours. 24 hours and 59 minutes. *Never* X hours and 1 minute. Maybe it feared saying "and 1 minutes." But most haunting was the huge blowup of the Time Capsule icon, showing exactly four-and-a-half o'clock on the hour. (Well, conceivably 0900 on a 24 hr dial.) --rwg
And I'll bet that big wave on the Mavericks desktop is actually Teahupoo, maybe left-right flipped, and "chlorophylled" to resemble colder water. Anybody? --rwg On Sun, Aug 24, 2014 at 2:06 PM, Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote:
