...whether they did that on purpose. I mean, it doesn't seem to occur to any commenter to doubt the authenticity of the hidden text. But maybe, that totally insignificant hidden text was put there on purpose. Are you folks all naive or am I getting slightly paranoid?
Could you please cool down just a little bit?
Well, I have been using it a lot a couple of years ago. People who are doing symbolic computation (aka computer algebra) professionally will have heard about the other Cocoa. So your doubt is inappropiate. What's your problem?
Physicists have actually started bypassing the reviewing/printing system by putting up
arXiv.org long ago. Mathematicians have then followed, and other scientists are starting doing it now.
Daniel Bernstein has some very useful advice for authors at his web page at http://cr.yp.to/bib.html.

Hi Mar"c", hi Tom.

Apple's Cocoa or cocoa, the computation in commutative algebra system?
