:: Closing Time ::

:: Friday, November 01, 2002 ::

Alex, I'm going to make some very pointed, very candid statements here. Because of how well you know me, and how well you know I know, I'm sure you understand that anything here that sounds critical probably is but doesn't reflect on the incredible respect I do have for you.

I think I know where your blog is about to go, and you already knew I'd say that. That's one of the similarities between us - we're always trying to think one step ahead of everything. The similarity diverges there. You think ahead in numbers and formulas. I think ahead in words and phrases. Numbers crunch faster, but words process more. It's CISC vs. RISC processing. If you may out pace me, there WILL be limits of complexity which you cannot reach on a basic level. You're phenomenally good at brute forcing things - again, you understand where CISC processing went. Pound it out, beat it dead. We are very, very much like the computers we use. Don't take this as an insult - I swear I don't mean to compare you to windows :) - but basically, you often function like inefficient code on immensely powerful hardware. I function like flexible code on weaker hardware. I'm a Mac.

Lawyers are Macs. Coders are PCs. The fight you want to fight isn't winnable on the legal level, where you are considering waging it. It is unwinnable on the legal level for the same reason i

it's 10:47 AM the next day. I never finished this blog.

p.s. I found out one of my pledge brothers, snooping around on the internet for my name, googled up this blog. I really don't feel so good about that. they're not all smart enough to get it.
