I have re-enabled comments

It looks like my temporary moritorium on comments has worked to chase away the excessive spammers who think they can get something out of me. So I have re-enabled comments (I tried using a captcha plugin but for some reason it would not generate an imag… more »

There may be more in Wolfram's Offer that I don't see

There is a $25,000 challenge for solving a problem located at Wolfram Science, in which, given a two-state machine with three colors, prove that it is universal. And at this point I don't get it. There are three possible reasons (that I can think o… more »

I have had to disable comments

In a way, I have to say that the spammers have won. I have made the unfortunate decision to disable comments on my blog. As you might note in the sidebar, I am receiving hundreds of spams on here, so many that I've had to disable comments. I have, out… more »

Welcome to My blog! This is where I store my thoughts so that I can come back to them at some point in the future. This allows me a place like a journal to keep what I'm thinking about. But anyone else is welcome to visit; I make this place public so that other people can hear what I'm thinking.

This is where I make comments on any subject I find of interest. My political comments are in the Politics section, and technical items are in the Computers section. Note, if you want to make a comment, e-mail it to me at paul@paul-robinson.us. I am sorry that I had to disable comments, but after I had deleted the 300th worthless piece of spam comment on this blog and receiving exactly zero valid comments, I decided to stop allowing spammers to excrement all over me and my blog. If you have *anything* at all to say, send it to me in e-mail; if it is even the slightest bit relevant - even if I don't agree with it, I will post it. (As soon as I find a way to stop spammers from posting junk I'll allow direct comments.) Note that if you are a visitor and post a comment, it defaults to "draft" meaning I have to approve it before it is visible, so if you're posting spam, don't bother, nobody will see it.
