Signal processing:

One of my assignments want me to prove that the sum from n=0 to N-1 of sin(2*pi*k*n/N)*sin(2*pi*m*n/N) = 0 for non-negative integers N and k != m, but this is inherently wrong since even for say N = 10, k = 4 and m = 6 I get the sum to be -5. Without delving too crazily into special cases, only by limiting k,m < N/2 can I ensure that the statement holds.

I mean, I get that it would be lovely if it actually worked since then the next statement that k=m gives N/2 would allow one to select the mth sine frequency component of a fourier series (and thus be finished with the homework), but since I cant I just don't see what the hell they want me to do here.

I find myself really surprised that the people who made "Look at my Horse", "The Badger song" and "Business Cat" made something like this.
Don't be silly, Roscoe Thunderpants had no part in any of those first three.

AKA the burn victim look

The more stylistic ones look like Mexican luchador wrestlers.

And yes, burn victim look.

I'm thinking more bank robber, TBH.

I'm not sure if you're joking... I'm 95% certain their voices are the same -> they're the same person.

Statistically, my posts in FG&RP are negligible. More than 1/5 of all the posts in the mod releases forum are mine.
Did you calculate this by hand? IIRC the percents on your profile page are wrong.

They were fixed a while back. Computing by hand gets the same results, 1352/6000 == 0.255333333..., which is what the statistics say.

It says I posted 6.72% of the posts in the Wiki board.

I'm not sure if that's correct, but it's better than the >100% it reported before.

According to my profile, there's a three-hour gap in which I have never made any posts. Every hour other than 5 to 7 a.m. has at least two, and many have more than one hundred.
Admittedly, I don't actually know how those numbers are calculated, so that's actually totally meaningless.

And it has posts from 2010! This board has existed for four years and I had no idea.

Oh wow, there are numbers when you hover over your posts per hour. The numbers definitely aren't out of your total posts, because my numbers add up to like 100-200. Maybe that display only shows posts made in the last X days?

Mine adds up to ~1500 posts. I have no idea.
