hello /sci/, long time no see
There is currently a troll on /prog/, and would greatly appreciate your help.

Basically, the troll is trying to prove that 0.999~ =/= 1
Here are some of his arguments

I'm wondering if the maths genius' on this board can rip him apart? Thank you

Honestly, gaiz. Most professional mathematicians (not the kind who drop out after they've learned all the maths their weak minds can handle, which incidentally is about the most that your average Ph.D student in CS knows) are quite useful people. And that's only talking about applied mathematics.

Who developed the counting numbers that you monkeys constantly use in your ifs, whiles and fors? Mathematicians. Who set the foundation for physicists to delve deeper into the physical world? You fucking guessed it. What did those physicists do after they took these mathematical tools and started quantizing nature? That's right, they figured out the atomic structure and even how to manipulate it. What else came next? Entire power grids, light bulbs, telephones, radios, you fucking name it. Only after your electrical engineers toyed around did mathematicians realize the potential of this technology to help in their calculations and theorems. Computer "scientists" were soon after a necessity to maintain these newly founded systems, but you know what? All the early computer "scientists" were just mathematicians. They birthed an entire technology. Mathematicians realized their creation had grown so large it needed it's own set of professionals to help sustain it while they fucked off and did obscure shit like write the algorithms you fucks MEMORIZE in your stupid classes.

Face it, you're our janitorial offspring.

Losers.
