"In "Bugs in the Brain," he describes a parasite that infects the brains of rats without any effect on their behavior except that they lose their instinctual aversion to the smell of cats and, instead, are drawn to it. Needless to say, such absurdly obliging prey is quickly gobbled up: bad for the rat but great for the parasite, since it can only reproduce inside a cat host."

Date: 2005-11-17 09:33 am (UTC)и почему бы не приспособить студентов к написанию удобного софта на эту тему --- а то чего они всякую лажу пишут, пусть сделают что-нибудь полезное, это будет даже более эффективно с точки зрения образования...
Re: Totally off-top
Date: 2005-11-17 03:02 pm (UTC)студентов к написанию удобного софта на эту тему - боюсь, что для этого нужен AI. Это вам не компилятор, тут думать надо!

Date: 2005-11-17 06:13 pm (UTC)I've got it finally, but there was a delay, so that they were even not in order...
Re: Totally off-top
Date: 2005-11-17 06:13 pm (UTC)Errr.. Is this too much?

Date: 2005-11-17 06:36 pm (UTC)Желаем грамматический разбор !
Re: Totally off-top
Date: 2005-11-17 06:40 pm (UTC)it's a parameter, on which "it" (the simplicity of the imlementation of [...]) depends...
Re: Off-top of the off-top
Date: 2005-11-17 06:42 pm (UTC)Главное, что не существительное с предлогом, а то было бы "идти на что?". Вот.
Re: Off-top of the off-top
Date: 2005-11-17 06:51 pm (UTC)кстати, всем им можно передавать привет...
И потом наречие обычно отвечает на вопрос "идти как?"...
"идти как?" "идти нафиг"... м-да, может и наречие... чувство лингвистической неудовлетворенности остается --- зато мы только что сделали 30 офф-топов (!)
Re: Off-top of the off-top
Date: 2005-11-17 06:55 pm (UTC)Жалобно ("как", прошу заметить): а можно я все-таки пойду нафиг?
Re: Off-top of the off-top
Date: 2005-11-17 06:57 pm (UTC)Re: Off-top of the off-top
Date: 2005-11-17 06:59 pm (UTC)Да, тогда привет можно передавать тому, что встретишь впереди :-)
> а можно я все-таки пойду нафиг?
