This reminds me of a PPOE where we really tightened up the input editing... User: The system is rejecting all of our data! Us: Well, it's full of errors. User: But why...
Yeah that comes from mathematics going back before even Hardy. I am exchanging email with Peter Denning in Monterey about this and my bosses working with people on Capitol Hill wanting to cut CS research funding ("Oh so CS has solved all its major problems!" more money for physics). We need to get back to Marburger about faith based physics.
I had a non-Euclidean geo clbutt. An old prof friend in the math dept. were were in clbuttified 3 kinds of faculty in his dept.: 1) those who knew him and liked him, 2) those who knew him and didn't like him, and 3) those who didn't know him and didn't like him because he was a computer scientist. I hate to say it but they do it for the money.
The CS problem with theory is that it's still stuck on Turing machines when it really needs to advance to RAMs and PRAMs. This is a consequence of the AI and language-compiler types (I am glad to say that I heard an NPR news cast that some of Chomsky's ideas about language were disproven in bonobos.
We really do have to get out of buttembly language, but I think our future is in robotics.
Correct. I work with about 10 different computer languages and nearly as many ways of dealing with stuff in an average week...
Common. I dropped out of grad school. I may be taking a clbutt in fall. The US had real problems with education and separately with management-leadership.
So you see in part how FAQs got started.
Ditto.
