    Those fancying this type of litterature, please take a look at: http://www.physics.nyu.edu/faculty/sokal/transgres s_v2/transgress_v2_singlefile.html At least the authors had some kind of humor. Regardless, I'm so glad to learn that everything is natural. Thank gods everything's normal!!!

  5. failure to evolve? on On the Record: Scott McNealy · · Score: 1

    "A: No, this is all very civil. I play ice hockey. I believe the beauty of the Darwinian capitalist market battles is that nobody gets -- I shouldn't say nobody -- very few people actually get physically injured." Curious what he had in mind, when correcting himself from "nobody" to "very few" ... For sure the set isn't empty, I bet it's a singleton -- oh Irony! Darwin would further call that failure to evolve...

  7. Re:You can't prove a negative... (GOOK) on Gentoo Package Accused of Violating DMCA · · Score: 1

    You seem to like proof by intimidation. Try to rephrase it with some math in it and I shall take you as a genious. So far our only certainties are IMPOSSIBILITY results. Like the Godel theorem. Or Fisher-Lynch-Paterson impossibility result in distributed computing. Axioma-model-theory-prediction-verification then we have some way to estimate evaluate how usefull is a theory. Now have you heard about INDUCTION? Logic at this level, boils down to reasonning about beliefs, faith etc. Man that was a post. Complete chaos. what are you trying to say? Trashing bandwith. Talk about your faith, then I shall listen to you. You should take care of yourself. Resume your normal life. Follow instructions you are given. Then you were rated insightful. That must slashdot legendary sense of humour. J.

    Java? Perl? Out of curiosity, where did you get your "real" programming experience? how about you post some of your real code here. so that we get a chance to laugh. or cry.

  9. Re:Mirror for the letter on SCO Drops Linux, Says Current Vendors May Be Liable · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So this letter is about SCO' "intellectual property" 1) I'm not sure about the scope of their contribution with respect to making a better OS -- please correct me if I'm wrong. 2) I have no idea what "intellectual property " means. Thank Gods J.S.Bach (and sequel) cannot sue us for composing music. It might be the case that we're wittnessing the extinction of a species. Usually the task of writing this kind of litterature is left upon random marketoids. As a shareholder, I'd be scared to see the CEO so personnally involved.
