[...] Please explicate this further. I, for one, love to tinker with my system; and Fedora's strictly-organized packaging makes this vastly simpler since I can just do similarly for my own things and know with near-absolute certainty that it won't harm my system. > > -jef"Or do i mean certifiable"spaleta > > I think you mean Certifiably Insane... since the vast majority of > Geniuses in the world (past or present) have been/are clinically insane. "Vast majority" and "All" are not logically equivalent. To put it differently: correlation does not imply causation. Just for fun, let's do this with a syllogism: If J (Jef) is a member of the set G (all geniuses), and G is a partial subset of C (that is, a vast majority of the elements in G are also in the set C - certifiably-insane people), then there is not enough information in this system to deductively infer that J is also a member of the set C. This is because J being a member of the set G only makes it *likely*, but not *certain*, that J is such. -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) GnuPG Public Key ID: 0xFFC19479 / Fingerprint: DD68 A414 56BD 6368 D957 9666 4268 CB7A FFC1 9479
