0.1 in absolute terms, or approximately 1.1 percent.

In Slackware terms:
ftp://$MIRROR_SITE/slackware-9.1/ChangeLog.txt
(after substituting an appropriate value for $MIRROR_SITE of course.
You'd find a link to a good list of mirrors in the a.o.l.s. FAQ.)

Shouldn't that be 1.01% approximately? Wouldn't want to give 9.1 more
credit than credit it's due.

No.

(9.1 - 9.0) / 9.0 = 0.0111111 ~= 1.1%

(9.1 - 9.0) / 9.1 = 0.0109890 ~= 1.1%

Unless my calculator is lying to me of course. :-)

I'm sure you know more mathematics than I do, but doesn't percentage
depend upon the relative position of the values being compared? IAC my
figuring shows 9.1 as a 1.1111111111111112% increase over 9.0, and 9.0
as a 1.098901098901099% decrease from 9.1. Rounding either of those
numbers to a single decimal point yields the percent value I gave above.

These calculations were brought to you by /usr/bin/python. Further
support for this post was provided by the letters Delta and Sigma, and
by the numeric value Pi.

I'd be interested to hear how exactly you've used the numeric value for
Pi in your post. :-)

You can certainly toss two variables into something somewhere along the
line... but Pi... I don't see where you'd use it. :-)

Maybe you multiplied everything by pi and then divided by it, too?

Is it not part of the US Bozo's ritual, used when calculating for
non-Bozo's, in or to cover up, the presence of the goa... Joost will

Yes, but why does the chicken cross the road, huh, if not for love?
(sigh) I do not know.

Oh now here you go throwing Pi in my face. Please review. I did NOT say
I used Pi in the post. I said "... support was provided by ..." Pi and
friends.[1] As in they paid me sickeningly large amounts of money just
for the privilege of getting to see their names on Usenet.[2]

I know you're not too old to have ever heard of Sesame Street![3] In
fact I daresay you're now old enough to learn to really appreciate it.

No, but I did that with zero.

Now that you mention it there is another literal way in which Pi
provided support for my post: in fact every post, whether or not I
happen to mention Pi.[5] My monitor stands on a circular base, and Pi
happens to be the ratio of the base's diameter to its circumference. No
kidding!


[1] They're all Greek to me, BTW.
[2] When you achieve Usenet superstardom you can get some deals like
this, yourself. Let me tell you, it's better than having to work for
a living.
[3] Hi Big Bird. We have Big Bird posting here, as you may have noticed.
Now if we could just get him GPG-signing his posts!
[4] I do an excellent Ernie imitation. Did you notice I sounded just
like Ernie when I said that? Thanks, glad you liked it.
[5] <note to self: talk to agent about getting more money from Pi>
