Yeah the old "it turns out" argument. I guess he's leaving that part up to the students? Or maybe the proof is "trivial"?
He's not presenting his work for scrutiny here, he's simply talking about it. "It turns out" is in lieu of "OK I hope you're all still with after that two-week seminar on WHY. If so, then as you saw, it turns out these 0's and 1's have no mathematical structure.
Well, brute force sequencing of the human genome isn't really very earth-shattering; I continue to not understand what the hullabaloo there is all about.
Dude, it's a good thing you're not famous, or this statement would come back to haunt you like Bill Gates and that 640K thing.
Do the software guys actually have the time and inclinationation towards such a wastefull past time?
Maybe we're just more efficient, in that we don't have to waste time looking up words like passtime and wasteful. But then, obviously you don't do that either.
While obviously not error-free, presumably some people do think about it and subsequently stop making whatever error he's pointed out.
A few weeks ago someone pointed out a misspelling of "definitely," and then went on to include a handy way to remember how to spell it (It contains the word "finite.") It's impossible to know exactly what influence that had, but it seems at first glance that there are fewer misspellings of it.
Personally, I'm waiting for some country with a fat pipe and poor US relations, say China, to run some OpenNAP servers in order to stick it to the Evil Monopolistic Capitalistic Amercian Corporation (tm).
I think that would backfire. The RIAA could then wrap themselves in the flag and rally public support for "showing those damn communists who they shouldn't be messing with." The RIAA would be able to ram through congress whatever [even] screwy [-y ier] law they wanted.
I spent eight years in Britain and lived in various parts of the country and it's the safest and cleanest place in the world.
Surely you exagerate.
Go to Edinburgh and see how people can go out and enjoy themselves anytime they want without living in the constant fear that some nutcase will one day blow their brains out.
Do you really think people live with that constant fear? I don't think that when going out it's ever once occurred to me that by doing so I might get my brains blown out.

That's easy, just look at the extension. If it's .BAS then there's no structure.

Your premise contradicts your subject.
As opposed to a sudden accretion? OK, sorry, I'm a smartass. Good post, though.

Instead of just one of them being the same price?
Clearly you've not seen APL.

I'm in favor of anything where it is the best thing to do. Not exactly a radical position, I know. And oh yeah, it's "hear hear."
In what sense?
Or possibly much worse.
Oh wait. That was your point, wasn't it.
There. As I got modded down for flamebait in the previous message, I figure I'm obligated to actually post some.
Yeah, when's Adobe gonna come out with a CLI version of Photoshop? Now that would rock!
