Why play the pedantic nitpicker and highlightening _every >inaccuracy_ which occur in some posts? :-) I like his style and i am almost like he is. To be the most accurate possible gives me amazing satisfaction and anyway it's my way of thinking. That comes from my love for the "mathematical logic". I bet he is the same and that he is good at mathematics. Statements like this is a "rather strong engine" must make him feel sick like me. But since we can't define everything , so we can't be totally accurate, it doesn't matter after all for me to be accurate at all. And i wonder by being accurate and pedantic, if at the end we gain something........ > >Of course I should have written "on equal single-processor-hardware". Guess >what?
