I don't waste days of my life doing something that in the final analysis
are counterproductive.  Why work on a problem you know you can't solve,
and even if you got the solution you couldn't use it practically in your
life?  If you want to waste your life, I guess you can, but I'd rather you
do something productive, like write a boxing game. =)

ok,ok I wrote a program once that computed Pi to an arbitrary number of
decimal places when I knew darn well only the first 4 are useful for any
normal application on earth, but I was young and didn't know better.
