jmc - First of all it's "it's" not "its". Second the Random House dictionary
is what the name suggests. There are two meanings, and English will be
a better communication medium if people adhere to the meaning of "flout"
as "ostentatiously disdain or disobey" and "flaunt" as "ostentatiously display".

Jan 15 discussion with John Hopcroft, roboticist
His colleagues are Dean Kraft and Christoph Hoffman
A valve takes 500 algebraic equations
Their recent work is on blending surfaces, i.e. fillets.
He sees himself better at "working for someone" than administering.
He doesn't see expert systems contributing to robotics at present.

Systems should work on a variety of machines (e.g. Suns and Microvax

concerns using files made by other computers, and it may have useful

Subject: Fixed Points
The familiar non-trivial LISP fixed point is:
((lambda (X) (list X (list (quote quote) X)))
(quote (lambda (X) (list X (list (quote quote) X)))))
What can be done for Prolog? Ideally, I would like to find a
one-clause predicate fixed/1, with the property that fixed(Term)
is true of the Term which is the clause that defines fixed/1.
