You _must_ check out CM. If you don't, everyone will DIE! Can you live
with this on your
conscious?
If you ever do have the chance to check it out, I'd appreciate your feedback.

Proving code to be correct? The only thing I've ever read about this is
Dykstra'a "Predicate
Calculus And Programming Semantics", a deep book to say the least. Is this
what you're
refering to? By the way, programs are memes, so its OK to talk about them
on this list.

On the other hand, sometimes mathematicians get fired for being to
theoretical and not
producing. The job I have now was previously held by a guy who got fired
for this.
