If I'd been careful it never woulda '' -- he stopped abruptly.

If in any one calculation Ptolemy had had to invoke 83 epicycles all at once, while Copernicus never required more than one third this number, then ( in the sense obvious to Margenau ) Ptolemaic astronomy would be simpler than Copernican.

If his circumspection in regard to Philip's sensibilities went so far that he even refused to grant a dispensation for the marriage of Amadee's daughter, Agnes, to the son of the dauphin of Vienne -- a truly peacemaking move according to thirteenth-century ideas, for Savoy and Dauphine were as usual fighting on opposite sides -- for fear that he might seem to be favoring the anti-French coalition, he would certainly never take the far more drastic step of ordering the return of Gascony to Edward, even though, as he admitted to the English ambassadors, he had been advised that the original cession was invalid.

If we wait until children are in junior high or high school, we will never manage it.

If you drive greater distances than that, you'll just be skimming the surface and will never discover the enchantment, fascination and beauty which lured you in the first place to explore the hinterlands.

If anyone asked us, after we made the remark that the suffering was a bad thing, whether we should think it relevant to what we said to learn that the incident had never occurred and no pain had been suffered at all, we should say that it made all the difference in the world, that what we were asserting to be bad was precisely the suffering we thought had occurred back there, that if this had not occurred, there was nothing left to be bad, and that our assertion was in that case mistaken.

If the photographically realistic continuity of dreams, however bizarre their combinations, denies that it is purely a composition of the brain, it must be compounded from views of diverse realities, although some of them may never be encountered in what we are pleased to call the real life.

If Bultmann's own definition of myth is strictly adhered to ( and it is interesting that this is almost never done by those who make such pronouncements ), the evidence is overwhelming that he does not at all exaggerate the extent to which the mythological concepts of traditional theology have become incredible and irrelevant.

If the mettle which Ellen exhibits has a bit of theatrical dross in it, never mind ; ;

If he died before she did, she would never be unable to resist opening it.

If we try to choose an element from each set, then, because X is infinite, our choice procedure will never come to an end, and consequently, we will never be able to produce a choice function for all of X.

If there was realism in the theater, there would never be a third act.

If he told others about it, her reputation would be ruined, as was his after a similar " indiscretion ," even though he was never prosecuted.

According to Ivinskaya, " If ever the conversation turned to Mandelstam, Leonidovich would always hark back to the same thing: that he was not to blame for his misfortunes, and that if he had not written to Bukharin and in general made a great fuss about his arrest, then perhaps Mandelstam would not even have had the respite, brief as it was, which was granted to him -- with the result that the Voronezh Notebooks might never have been written.

If the program hasn't halted yet, then it never will, since its contribution to the halting probability would affect the first N bits.

If the possibility of adding the empty string to a language is added to the strings recognized by the noncontracting grammars ( which can never include the empty string ) then the languages in these two definitions are identical.

If a state is not observable, the controller will never be able to determine the behaviour of an unobservable state and hence cannot use it to stabilize the system.

:” If we observe the totality of Pissarro ’ s work, we find there, despite fluctuations, not only an extreme artistic will, never belied, but also an essentially intuitive, purebred art.

" Screwattack. com listed the Duck Hunt dog as the " Biggest Douchebag in gaming " and said that " If you've never played Duck Hunt, you just don't understand.

If Alice collaborates with Paul Erdős on one paper, and with Bob on another, but Bob never collaborates with Erdős himself, then Bob is given an Erdős number of 2, as he is two steps from Erdős.

If anyone at my funeral has a long face, I'll never speak to him again.

If implemented using remainders of Euclidean division rather than subtractions, Euclid's algorithm computes the GCD of large numbers efficiently: it never requires more division steps than five times the number of digits ( base 10 ) of the smaller integer.

If you have never seen this movie, I highly recommend it.

Furthermore, the Mohist philosophical canon of the Mojing, compiled by the followers of Mozi ( c. 470-c. 390 BC ), provides the earliest known attempt to describe inertia: " The cessation of motion is due to the opposing force ... If there is no opposing force ... the motion will never stop.

If there were no West Berlin problem, imperialist quarters would have invented an excuse for stepping up the armaments race to try to solve the internal and external problems besetting the United States and its NATO partners.

If they are to be commended for foresight in their planning, what then is the judgment of a town council that compounds this problem during the planning stage??

If action is indicated, what kind of action is relevant to the problem??

If, as I suspect, the problem is largely of the second sort, then development of a theory better able to handle tone will result automatically in better theory for all phonologic subsystems.

If the problem is enlarged to require a complete coverage of feed states, Af operations are needed by the dynamic program and Af by the direct search.

If high accuracy is required in preflight leveling, it is usually necessary to integrate or doubly integrate the accelerometer outputs ( this also minimizes the noise problem ).

If he foresaw any problem because of the quality of the hymen, it was recommended that simple procedures be undertaken at once to incise the hymen or, preferably, to dilate it.

`` If you substitute ' atom ' for ' angel ', the problem is not insoluble, given the metallic content of the pin in question ''.

If we allow only quantifiers, it becomes the Co-NP-complete tautology problem.

If we allow both, the problem is called the quantified Boolean formula problem ( QBF ), which can be shown to be PSPACE-complete.

If so, then no NP-complete problem can be in co-NP and no co-NP-complete problem can be in NP.

If a problem can be shown to be in both NP and co-NP, that is generally accepted as strong evidence that the problem is probably not NP-complete ( since otherwise NP = co-NP ).

If a problem is suspected then a more comprehensive test using a leak-down tester can locate the leak.

If I told you my son's age, then there would no longer be two unknowns ( variables ), and the problem becomes a linear equation with just one variable, that can be solved as described above.

If at least 50 cars had been built, sportscars like the GT40 and the Lola T70 were allowed, with a maximum of 5. 0 L. John Wyer's revised 4. 7 litre ( Bored to 4. 9 litres, and o-rings cut and installed between the deck and head to prevent head gasket failure, a common problem found with the 4. 7 engine.

If the open string is in tune, but sharp or flat when frets are pressed, the bridge saddle position can be adjusted with a screwdriver or hex key to remedy the problem.

If the status code indicated a problem, the user agent might display the reason phrase to the user to provide further information about the nature of the problem.

If an isomorphism can be found from a relatively unknown part of mathematics into some well studied division of mathematics, where many theorems are already proved, and many methods are already available to find answers, then the function can be used to map whole problems out of unfamiliar territory over to " solid ground " where the problem is easier to understand and work with.

If the example with the colored bricks above is viewed as an unbounded knapsack problem, then the solution is to take three yellow boxes and three grey boxes.

(...) If someone asks me how I can sleep at night knowing that my arms have killed millions of people, I respond that I have no problem sleeping, my conscience is clean.
