  1. Re:revelaed on Microsoft Port 25 interviews Miguel de Icaza · · Score: 1

    but isn't it true somehow?
    it might not be as elegant like using c++ together with some explicit cross platform libraries, but it seems possible to go cross platform over mono, not?
    which problems do you see in this approach?
    that novell will stop developing mono? for a specific platform?
    thx for clarification

  2. The chicken came first on Chicken and Egg Problem Solved · · Score: 1

    A chicken is capable of laying eggs.
    So the chicken came first.

    I wouldn't define a chicken by if it came outof an egg.
    Instead i would wait for the animal until it bahaves a little bit grown up and then study it and after that try say what it really is. And when it lays eggs it is a chicken. So the first egg which was layed was layed by the chicken which was already there...

  3. what's the sense of open source? on No Respect for Windows Open Source · · Score: 1

    i think it is all about solving problems and sharing solutions / searching for solutions. for me this is the most important aspect of open source.

    also software development is more and more going into a direction where you can solve a problem on one system and having solved it for others as well. (java, .net + gkt#, ..)
    and also if a software is developed nearer to a propietary api it is more avaluable than a closed software and has value for the community, because of those parts which are plattform independent. and then still then sometimes it happens that a proprietary api is transformed to a new plattform (directx for linux).

    really, for me it is an arrogant view of an open source supporter saying open source is only valueable if it is developed on / for an open source os.

    i think open source is a big puzzle and at the beginning there were GNU tools for a proprietary unix kernel (sure with the goal to write also an open source kernel) and everybody of the linux community uses them. so for me it is not important which part of the puzzle is first or last. they will fit together at the end. i'm sure.

  4. Re:One-liner Mathematica solution to billboard puz on Google's Math Puzzle · · Score: 1

    other solution:

    e[d_] = Floor[E*10^d]
    f[d_] = Mod[e[d + 9], 10^10]
    For[i = 0, i 100, i++, x = f[i];
    If[PrimeQ[x],
    Print["found a solution ", x, " at the ", i,
    "th digit after decimal point."]]]

  5. 1, 5, 23, 99 or 2, 6, 24, 100 on Google's Math Puzzle · · Score: 1

    f(1) appears at the first digit after the decimal point of e. f(2) at the 5th f(3) at the 23th f(4) at the 99th so maybe 1, 5, 23 and 99 have something in comon. but what? another way to interpret f() is to take the 2 in front of the decimal point into account and say that f(1) begins with the second digit of e.. next idea would be to take the ending digits 10, 14, 32, 108 or 11, 15, 33, 109 can anybody tell me about the system behind it? thanks, sebastian

    I can't leave bed but hey this discussion drives my appetite crazy. i really should stand up and make me a tarantino style real hot and real black coffee like this one made from claudia cardinale in "C'era una volta il West". but please no latte. we're not in the usa. we're in germany.
