Cable: we will respect Indian's ICT demands

[sasguru]

What was the last easy thing you coded? You have never ever said here what technical skills you have and nothing from countless bulltulip posts would suggest you have any at all.

Are you still posting from the server room or have the front faces of your company allowed you to come into the office yet? Are you allowed to talk to clients or do they keep you locked up?

These are the questions that matter.

FYI I've programmed commercially in C, Java and SAS.
I still occasionally need to shape data using SAS.
And Lisp and Prolog at uni.
But that's Bob's work now.

He certainly keeps his mathematical skills well hidden

Weren't you the one who thought Newton's laws were actual laws rather than quite accurate approximations under certain circumstances?

That's not mathematics, it's physics, something else you know little about. As I pointed out to you before, they are called Newton's laws, not Newton's approximations as you incorrectly call them. All physical theories have limitations.

It makes no sense to say programming is easy. A rockie error. Programming a "hello world" application might be easy once you've mastered the language and environment, but programming real world applications is usually hard. And by hard I mean in the mathematical sense.

So they are called Newton's Laws but are actually approximations. Your little pedantic IT mentality shown to the full there.

I asked what exactly did you do (what kind of tasks) you betwetting cretin when you were allegedly programming?

I am pretty sure you have not done a line of code worth saving in the last 10 years.

I've programmed plenty of real world applications, some still out there, God help us.
An ability to think logically does not equate to mathematical ability however. There are plenty of professional programmers who have no ability to do maths (e.g. coming up with a formal proof, which is bloody difficult) but I'd venture that most mathematicians could be good programmers if they wanted to.
For what its worth I reckon I'm a good problem solver mathematically i.e. I can use maths but I'm not good enough to create it.

It was you that brought it up. I'm enlightening you in your incorrect understanding, even though it is futile. Special relatively is an approximation, quantum theory has limits and you certainly wouldn't want to use it where Newton's laws would do, plus it is incompatible with General Relatively, another successful and probably incomplete theory.

I wrote some code today. But only because I got bored.

Iquantum theory has limits

I am pretty sure those limits tend to infinity when compared with limited brains of our own sadguru
