Miguel in the gnumeric list ask for a list of feature a graphic program he intend to write.
Considering latex vs SGML, I use latex since 5 years without worrying. I didn't ever managed to use or install SGMLtools
I test Mico and certainly agree it's bloated. GdkPixbuf is maybe a good idea. Considering the Window manager I use window maker (previously I use Afterstep, kwm, fvwm) and feel useless to make another WM.
Personnally I prefer one powerfull well documented program (like gimp, gcc) to several buggy, undocumented programs.
I have two questions: 1> What is the future of guppi? There wasn't any release since a long time and Miguel said he will begin something else. 2> Why gnome people do always thing different: sgml (latex exist), OrBIT (mico), GtkPix (imlib), a new window manager (enlightenment and Window maker), etc. Rewrite everything seems crazy to me.
The gaussian law appear in many contexts. For the most part it appears for uncorellated situations (gas particles, photon gas, stock options, etc).
The article is not clear but I am not sure the thing is clear for the scientist involved too. maybe they have found a new universality law which would be a gret event in science. Maybe this is just a random coicindence which relies on nothing.
For What I Understand they think their law applies to a great range of correlated phenomena.
I don't know what your teachers said. Nevertheless concerning independent identically distributed random functions the law is demonstrated.
Problem is that not all system behave like that: One striking example, the pricing model of option (call and put on stock) by black and scholes relies on the assumption of independence and gaussian law. More precisely the hypothesis is that buy and sells of a stock are independent. For the most part this is true. If you sell your stock to buy a new car this is independent.
Nevertheless if one follows the black and scholes to it's ultimate consequencies one get the conclusion. The probability of Stock Krach is very low, one Krach per millenium and this is clearly false.

Don't take it bad, I am a gnumeric user.
