Maybe I haven't done enough haskell, but enough lisp to NOT eat _2_ Kg of chocolate. Did you really think you would get those 2 Kg's down? /Gf On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 9:43 PM, Andrew Coppin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The other day, I sat down to eat a 2 Kg block of chocolate - one of those > on

Oh, yeah, I thought you really meant that you would force that "baby" down. :) Nice to hear that you wouldn't. Not even "lazy evaluation" would save you there 7-8 hours later. ;) /Gf On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 10:00 PM, Andrew Coppin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> w

A very nice initiative I must say; although the page should contain the usual explanation for why such a split method can't be universal. That is, add the same explanation you give every time; but to the page. /Gianfranco On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 5:30 PM, Brent Yorgey wrote: > Today yet another n
