S.o.s!!

Re: S.o.s!!

The beauty of CS is there are often easily verifiable "better" and "worse" answers We can argue over my level of stupidity or whether man made Global Warming is real till the cows come home, but I will be first to acknowledge an elegant, neat, or correct solution to a CS type algorithmic question. I also think Siamanto would be a very worthy oponent but I hope he will stand up to a real challenge as opposed to continuing to call me all sorts of names.

What disturbs me is I can't remember ever having had a serious conversation with him on any such scientific topics yet he is somehow convinced he is so much superior. Well, as they say, time to bring in ooon BIOTCH! And I mean that with the utmost respect

Re: S.o.s!!

All humility aside, since you mentioned your superiority in "Computer Science", I am pretty sure I could wipe the floor with you Al-Gore-itmically if you are ever up to the challenge. I think Karoaper would make an excellent impartial judge. I have full trust in his abilities. The format I would suggest is each of us posing a set of algorithmic question to the other with a given time frame to formulate an answer (on the honor system and hopefully without resorting to your favorite venue, i.e. no "google", no asking other people, and no looking up in any text books). Should prove to be fun ... of course we should provide Karoaper the answers we feel are best to the questions we pose.

Ohh goody! I can maybe suggest a few questions myself. I'll also contact cable pay-per-view to televise the event.

But, I might have a stipulation before i judge this event: that afterwards you guys shake your hands and support each other as two Armos and colleagues in science and technology.

Thanks for the vote of confidence though Sip. I have checked out your paper on the ultimate path finding through a network of sensors. Very neat. And Siamanto, you have always struck me as a knowledgeable person. There was a post that gave me the impression that you too are in CS. Personally, I get excited thinking that some day I might meet one of you in a conference somewhere and we can feel more proud that Armos are advancing the high tech fields.

Re: S.o.s!!

By the way, I'm still waiting for you to "bring Math into it!!!" It will be a lot of fun at your expense.

Re: S.o.s!!

well its all good, lot of great singers are going to perform and should be a blast whereever it goes ( however I dont understand how they are going to do a concert in Antartica, will the penguins come?)

They performed yesterday and it was nice to watch. They only had one band in Antarctica and yes some penguins showed up. There was no crowd, it was -15 below when the band was performing.

Re: S.o.s!!

Al Gore may - or may not be - a hypocrite - but he's the best US has and his efforts have a rather positive impact in creating a synergy in the US.






Global Warming is a reality to
1- The Inuits in Greenland who have lost their natural environment and their traditional transportation routes
Can you be more explicit and share with us what "is more to it then what what some are saying?" Thanks.
2- That tiny island - it's the smallest country, I forgot the name - that is struggling with the advance of ocean. The country is "scheduled" to disappear in a couple of years
3- The many species of the North Pole losing their natural habitat
4- Those who suffered from Katrina
5-....
All is needed to become aware of it is to be informed.

Just curious, what "there is more to it then what some are saying?"






The fact that some dishonest and/or unscrupulous businessmen and/or politicians are exploiting the issue to their advantage does not change the fact that it's more than a "religious belief." Your criticism is true of any religion, political theory or...
By the way, how can it be "true science," what does that mean? As a person with a scientific background, thinking that it's a question of "true science" or not is a "religious belief" spread by the mass media - and the same kind of dishonest politicians.

P.S. By the way, just curious, what is "true science???"

In my opinion true science is testing, discovery, being honest with ones findings and not giving misinformation to gain a grant, win a contract or to obtain wealth through false information and justifying greed. I personally think we are going through an Earth cycle of changes that may be normal. Every year new information is found that changes the way we think.
I also think that we do not have enough information yet to come to a good decision.
I found some additional information that explains what I think. This was from information on Wikipedia.

As an example: someone who enters a new country and observes only white sheep might form the hypothesis that all sheep in that country are white. It can be considered a hypothesis, as it is falsifiable. Anyone could falsify the hypothesis by observing a single black sheep. Provided that the experimental uncertainties are small (for example, provided that one can fairly reliably distinguish the observed black sheep from (say) a goat), and provided that the experimenter has correctly interpreted the statement of the hypothesis (for example, does the meaning of "sheep" include rams?), finding a black sheep falsifies the "white sheep only" hypothesis. This sort of example provides the easiest way to understand the term "hypothesis".

Al Gore is a joke and as far as being the best America has to offer is a bigger joke.

Global warming is a fact to some scientist, not all. The subject is so complex that no one knows the truth. As far as it being a religion, people believe it is a fact. For every example that is negative there is another that is positive.
Is the Earths temperature going up or down, depends on who you ask.

We have had the earth is coming to the end from believers for hundreds, maybe thousands of years.

I have a lot of respect for you and your opinions, my intention is to respect you not argue with you.

Re: S.o.s!!

I should have taken my own advice in this thread. There is REALLY no use. But Siamanto, in case you have any interest to really read some of my papers before jumping to these amazing conclusions about me in fields which have never really been topics of discussion in these forums, I will be more than happy to send you some links.

Otherwise, I might be forced to rename Anahita Syndrom to something else

Re: S.o.s!!

Well, the reason I ask is because the first part of your paragraph seems to contradict the second part of your paragraph.

How does it contradict? Probably, only in your head???

Yet I have never really made any claims to be any "good" at Computer Science much less at math. I certainly do enjoy the topics but why do you make it sound like I have made some sort of grand claims about myself in those fields?

But in my defense, you trying to conclude about my knowledge of those fields based on what I post on "Armenian" (general topic) forums is a lot like trying to figure out what is going on in a soccer match by a picture of a basketball match

Nice try! If you read your first post in this thread then you may - at least, someone with someone with minimal understanding - get answer. Becoming slightly more reasonable and less pretentious???

Re: S.o.s!!

Siamanto, I can only assume that your conclusions about my scientific abilities and technical knowledge comes from you having read one of my papers. Would you please tell me which one of the papers you dislike most? Maybe you have some constructive criticism or just ANY real criticism other than purely slandering me as a "hack". Well, ready to put your brain where your emotions are? I already know you dislike me as a person but can you really back up your other claims?

Of course as a scientist, I am ALWAYS open to such criticism (if it is founded and well thought out). But if you are just going to continue to b!tch about me like a little girl, please save yourself the embarassment.

Re: S.o.s!!

In the past, you amused me and made me laugh with your simplistic views and I won't mind some amusement.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, and not simpler. --Einstein

Wow! So you can't even tell the difference between a simplistic view - i.e. immature, confused, inarticulate - and an simple view/presentation- i.e. reduced to the essential, strict necessary???
That's the kind of pretentious (intellectual) mediocrity that I had in mind in my previous post and that's exactly what you represent to me.
