S/F/A/C is an abbreviation of “suppose for a contradiction.” Omega is the set of natural numbers. A set is finite if it is equivalent to omega capped at a certain number; that is, if there exists a 1-1 correspondence (bijection) between it and the capped omega. Bijections are functions that are both surjective and injective.

Could it be that Pingback is somehow broken on your site? I’m getting error 0×0021 when I link to this page. Could be that my own Pingback implementation is flawed though.

I’ve disabled Pingback due to the spam bots that roam the seas (Abrasion was a pitiful attempt at fighting it). It shouldn’t throw error messages, though, RIGHT WORDPRESS 2.2?

Human pingback still works. <— This is the Web 2.0 version of Pingback (we’ll outsource to the Indians in Web 3.0) http://pwnt.be/2007/05/1180557149133

Ooh, I see. It probably shouldn’t send the X-Pingback header though.

Also, I don’t know if this helps, but Pingback specifies throwing an error if the other party doesn’t have a link to your page. Of course, that would still require a lot of bandwidth.

Well, I’ve disabled X-Pingback. Now I should be 100% invisible to Ping/Trackback.

Suck on that, Hixie! Suck on that!
