It is an applied science and a very interesting one. In the lonely days of my PhD in computer science, I distracted myself by reverse-engineering things I liked in restaurants and supermarkets. There are surprisingly few, good, general, texts that get into the details of this sort of thing properly - ie. explaining the chemistry and physics of specific recipes. Cuisine doesn't attract much in the way of intellectual property disputes. This is (of course) great news for the industry, but a shame for me as I'd find it really interesting to be involved in legal issues of recipe design. Fortunately for me (and less good for the industry) computer science *does* seem to need a reasonable amount of lawyering, so life is not entirely uninteresting. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ developers-public mailing list [email protected] https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public Unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/options/developers-public/archive%40mail-archive.com
