    You are a great candidate for the Useless Use of Cat award... specially endearing is your making a comment on the few commands your line uses :D

    of course it should be publicly funded until it is given to the private sector for commercialization: big pharma did not get any bail out recently, so we owe them as much!

    Read on the -exec thingie in find. Your construction will hit command line length limits in many patforms easily.

    Do you REALLY believe you would be "soon as socialist as China"? I mean, do you *REALLY*?!

  11. Re:Two words on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Well: do you think that holding a belief against all evidence, against the best judgement of all experts on the matter, simply because an old book told you, with consequences which go way beyond your personal beliefs (because it involves actual, real life policy, as education and what not) detracts or adds to the credibility of a VP candidate?

    There is really no need to give highschoolers examples of badly written literature for wannabe-yuppies that wish they had been born for the grand 80s...

    The good thing about that comment is that you could hhave perfectly well used it if the result had been the opposite.

    I hereby salute your ability to emit comments which do not provide any information!

    What was the adoption rate of Y? Was it really done? Was it little more that a proof of concept?

    You should get hold of Penrose's The Shadows of the Mind which, while very speculatve, is very interesting...

    That distros ship their binaries dynamically linked does not mean, in any way, that statically linked binaries do not work in those distros.

    [citation needed] What you may have in mind is that one can build models of the brain which are formally computers. But I doubt you are claiming you know how the brain works... No one does so far!

  21. Re:Unless... on Major Advances In Knot Theory · · Score: 1

    I was not thinking about GÃdels' incompleteness theorem. But we can use it too. One of the reasons GÃdel was so happy about that theorem is that it implies that (being imprecise...) no axiomatic system is sufficient to describe the integers. Therefore an axiomatic system (of the kind considered...) is never good enough to capture all the richness of behaviour of the integers.

    Actually, it is a theorem that computers are not enough to do maths.

    To be honest, I could not care less what OS you use. If you enjoy using Windows, then by all means use it. Neither I nor any one of the myriad of developers out there owes you anything. They are offering you something: you are free to use something else.
