4/14    For all you academic types out there... (especially psb)
        http://www.cs.rug.nl/~michael/cogno.pdf
        \_ why is psb an academic type when he does not even have a bachelors
           degree, written a single technical publication in ACM, SigX,
           gotten a patent, and what not?
               \_ I searched for Partha's name in Econlit, ProQuest, MathSci
                  and Dissertation Abstracts and found one obscure article
                  in economics by a guy in India in 1995 (our Partha lived
                  in Berkeley circa 1995) and three dissertation's before
                  1992. On the other hand, Partha is extraordinarily well
                  well read in economics and physics. He also seems to have
                  a good grasp on political philosophy and obviously
                  knows a fair bit about CS. So basicly, he doesn't produce
                  books or articles in core academic journals, but the man
                  is more informed than many academics I know. -fab
           \_ I saw a publication of his on Hamiltonian something. I think
              it was a math thing.
           \_ i believe wordnet's second and third definitions of the word
              will shed light on the author's original intent for his usage
              of the word.
              \_ the third in particular
