Not running Windows at the moment.

To be fair, we haven't proved this. Practically speaking, though, no one doubts it.

HAHAHA. A Mac fainter.

It's unproven? So it's still an open question?

doubt you care but my first name is Roderick now I have to prove it correct as it means famous power.

:yucky: I don't like Macs, especially since I have to maintain some (just a few) at work.

No, this computer is running Linux. Much of the math stuff I use (gp2c, François Morain's ECPP) doesn't work on Windows.

Make a formal statement and I'll tell you what I can.

Well met, Roderick. I'm Charles.

Good luck with that.

yeah I do have a royal link but I'm not that famous or powerful lol. though I've bugged the OEIS, NASA, the prince of wales(21st cousin ?), obama, harper, my local government(Nova Scotia's Darrell dexter), yeah I found you all over the OEIS lol I figured it out. I only have one thing that got into it so far... [url]http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A146768[/url]

forgot I also bugged discoverychannel. I'm likely more famous for bugging people than finding anything lol.

Dammit. I wondered why I couldn't get it running. Well, I still have PARI/GP/etc.

technically if we could make an gp2c like compile code in Pari it should work for any OS lol.

Correct. It's hard to make it compile, though. It can be done -- but I've tried and failed, while it's easy to do in Linux.

Morain's ECPP, though, can be used only on Linux.

I ran into the Prince of Wales when I was over there.

yeah my line according to what we've found is around the time of Robert I Stewart and his daughter Margaret Stewart. which if I found correct Gedcom I got back to Priam of Troy and then back to Adam and Eve (suspect that one of unproven information). we should get back to math and code lol.
