<!CompHobbyist> haha, we know what we're talking about and Toba doesn't
<!CompHobbyist> Shadowblade: what did you get for an answer to the third-order harmonic hypertransient question?
-> -Shadowblade- this should be fun >:)
* Toba o_0 *
-> -Shadowblade- Toba is my bro, so I'll tell him he got pranked later
<+Shadowblade> it ended up being a function of the resonance amplifier, right?
<+Toba> third-order harmonic hypertransient < I'm betting you're making this up.
<!CompHobbyist> uh... I'm glad I had a different color from you
<+Shadowblade> third order means there's three capacitors/inductors
<+Toba> I can't even figure out what class you guys are talking about
<+Toba> oh, Circuits
<+Shadowblade> lmao
<+Shadowblade> well, three layers of capacitors/inductors
<+Toba> this is why I'm not an ECE and never will be
<!CompHobbyist> because I ended up having to use hypercomplex numbers in hilbert space, and it was not fun
<!CompHobbyist> transfer functions with hypercomplex numbers = ugh :(
<+Toba> reading that = ugh
<+Shadowblade> I hate transfer functions with regular numbers
<+Shadowblade> let along imaginary 4-space
<!CompHobbyist> with regular numbers and complex numbers it's fine... but bring i,j,k in and I want to kill myself
<+Toba> as opposed to real 4-space?
<+Shadowblade> correct
<!CompHobbyist> WHOA
* !Stray_Pussy (user@3a15f1cd.33b18cfd.WIFI.WPI.EDU) Quit (Quit: Tata!)
<+Shadowblade> if we used real 4-space to solve this shit, we'd be here for weeks
<!CompHobbyist> just found out that hypercomplex numbers are related to RSA encryption?!
<+Shadowblade> nice
<!CompHobbyist> http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~msta039/hypercomplex-rsa.html
* Toba wishes he understood RSA *
<!CompHobbyist> Toba: by hypercomplex numbers I mean this:
<!CompHobbyist> ii = jj = -kk = -1
<!CompHobbyist> ij = ji = k, jk = kj = -i, ki = ik = -j
<!CompHobbyist> ijk = 1
<+Toba> o_0
-Shadowblade- I thought you made that up for a second
