Obviously you're not one those "Informatik" (Informatics?!) types... (They hold
10 point courses in pascal that don't get into pointers. (because the lecturers
don't know them that well..) By comparison, Calculus I (A-level math) is 5p...)

They *are* fun, but there seems to have been a time when they where more fun...

Aha! Thank you. (Now I can just take your word for it, instead of finding out!)

Evolution techniques look like they could become cool though...

Great. Then you've made the big mistakes for me already...

'Generic' has another meaning? Norse nobility? Sorry, you lost me...
(Which is a bit odd, since I'm a .se native...)

Oh! We use very different meanings of "AI". I want a harder interpretation. If
it's AI, it doesn't have to be smart, but does have to "think"... (Whatever
that means...)
