Bundling all these different types of work together in one department may be
convenient administratively, but it's confusing intellectually. That's the
other reason I don't like the name "computer science." Arguably the people in
the middle are doing something like an experimental science. But the people at
either end, the hackers and the mathematicians, are not actually doing
science.

The mathematicians don't seem bothered by this. They happily set to work
proving theorems like the other mathematicians over in the math department,
and probably soon stop noticing that the building they work in says "computer
science" on the outside. But for the hackers this label is a problem. If what
they're doing is called science, it makes them feel they ought to be acting
scientific. So instead of doing what they really want to do, which is to
design beautiful software, hackers in universities and research labs feel they
ought to be writing research papers.

     <Zuu>  Hai all
 <rindolf>  Zuu: hai hai.
 <rindolf>  Zuu: what's up , kit?
 <rindolf>  Zuu: or what are you , I forgot?
     <Zuu>  Hai rindolf :D
 <rindolf>  I am a reindeer.
 <rindolf>  But also a Llama.
 <rindolf>  And a cat.
     <Zuu>  I'm a Zuu
 <rindolf>  And a fish naturally.
 <rindolf>  Zuu: ah , OK.
     <Zuu>  :D
         *  rindolf creates a Zoo of Zuus
     <Zuu>  ^^
 <rindolf>  Are you the master Zuu?
 <rindolf>  Like Q is the master of the Q's in Star Trek?
     <Zuu>  i think im the only Zuu
 <rindolf>  Oh, one of a kind.
     <Zuu>  Which is kinda sad really :(
     <Zuu>  Who am i supposed to mate with?
 <rindolf>  Reminds me of
            http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/Blue-Rabbit-Log/ideas.xhtml
 <rindolf>  Though I need to add that part.
 <rindolf>  Let me do it now.
     <Zuu>  whatever webserver you use, it doesnt provide the right
            mimetype... At least IE 8 dont attempt to render the document
 <rindolf>  Zuu: you cannot using IE 8
 <rindolf>  Zuu: you need Firefox.
 <rindolf>  Zuu: it's application/xml+xhtml
 <rindolf>  Or Opera.
     <Zuu>  well, it indeed is the right mimetype... stupid IE
     <Zuu>  well, my FF crashed, so i just use IE when that happens
 <rindolf>  Zuu: ah.
 <rindolf>  FF crashed?
 <rindolf>  How strange.
 <rindolf>  Maybe you have a bad plugin.
     <Zuu>  It does that around 6 times a day
 <rindolf>  Not an extension - a plugin.
 <rindolf>  Ah, really.
 <rindolf>  Something is wrong in the Zuuniverse.
 <rindolf>  Or Zuumputer.
     <Zuu>  nah, i suspect one of the tabs are just doing some strange
            stuff
     <Zuu>  memory leaking javascript ro something like that
     <Zuu>  it is kinda starting to annoy me
     <Zuu>  but with 90 - 120 tabs, it would take quite a while to find
            out what tab it is
     <Zuu>  you might consider starting your articles, or whatever this
            is, with an introduction telling what it's about
 <rindolf>  Zuu:
            http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/Blue-Rabbit-Log/ideas.xhtml#the-angry-demon
 <rindolf>  Zuu: it's not an article - these are random ideas for a
            screenplay.
 <rindolf>  Zuu: but I'll write an intro.
     <Zuu>  start the page with "Here are some of my random ideas for a
            screen play im writing:"
     <Zuu>  at LEAST!
     <Zuu>  you cant just jump right into something without giving _any_
            indication ow what the reader can expect
     <Zuu>  it simply doesnt make any sense as it is now
     <Zuu>  you could just as well have posted a log of ljuwidah talking
            :P
 <rindolf>  Zuu: thanks.
     <Zuu>  :)
 <rindolf>  Zuu:
            http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/Blue-Rabbit-Log/ideas.xhtml#intro
 <rindolf>  Interactive Web!
     <Zuu>  i think you have forgottoen to define the #intro anchor
 <rindolf>  Zuu: reload.
 <rindolf>  Zuu: it's there.
     <Zuu>  hah, caches... :P
     <Zuu>  :D
 <rindolf>  Pesky things.
 <rindolf>  Evil reindeers don't like caches.
 <rindolf>  Neither do cats.
 <rindolf>  I'm an evil reindeer but a good cat.
     <Zuu>  Hehe
 <rindolf>  Don't know how it works.
 <rindolf>  I guess good and evil are relative.
 <rindolf>  Or actually I wore a helmet of alignment change.
