He's still defending the idea despite that two of us have already done such research, including one who cited her own direct personal experience, that blew that idea all to heck, and despite repeated calls for actual evidence from him for his thesis. Apparently, "Somebody, whom I will not cite, told me something vaguely like that that I did not verify sometime in my dimly-remembered past, and I'm now adding my own speculation, and all your research, citations and direct personal experience to the contrary don't mean squat," is all the evidence he needs. -- Lew

Are you seriously suggesting that it was transcendental wisdom that kept the Buddha fed? You are a laugh riot. The Buddha explicitly rejected ascetism and promoted the Middle Way, which involves, guess what? The use of common sense! You kind-of missed the point on the Buddha's teachings. I know of nothing there that repudiates common sense. -- Lew PLEASE don't quote sigs!

I don't have any experience with Chinese Java, but I have read a couple of French Fortran programs, and France really does have language purity laws. The identifiers and comments were all in French, but the punctuation in the actual code was normal Fortran punctuation. In particular, real constants were written as e.g. "3.14", not "3,14" as one would expect in French. Patricia

Knuth Pure Chinese from a purely cultural perspective, in other words no non Chinese words in any computer languages. The preceding was a rough paraphrase of the original author. |
