I'll take 500 processors and show up at the world champs. Do you even dare to
show up with 1 processor there?

Some professional programmers already told me that they were having a big party
at the day you retired (out of politeness i will not quote names but you know
who i mean). That probably shows how important the influence of rebel was in
history. Especially that complex algorithm that you emailed to me. I bet many
will love to see it online posted. I won't do it of course without your
permission. I am sure it is the reason why you became world champion in Spain.
What a victory day that was for Rebel!

If you are not retired then i do not understand why the dubious stuff is put at
the homepage. If you are retired i do not understand why the great stuff isn't
put at it, because it explains all the dubious stuff you put online. Now it just
doesn't make sense for the academic reader.
