It was too much, I realised while trying to write the 10 lines... too easy for such a big price. You could propose something smaller, maybe: "Ok, I'll admit I was wrong in showing the result of an internal benchmark without a disclaimer, and I'll propose to move the two test you do not like from app to function speed". You didn't. > Why should I donate a few thousand lines of my own code to them > because you donate 10 lines to us? I'm not donating anything! You challenged me, I accepted the challenge. You should ask a price to if I loose. You didn't. Unfortunately, once I accepted your challenge, you retired. > Go away. You are just being rude. I can write the lines myself.

I did not even know of the existence of mpir_bench_two. I was interested on the patent issue, that's why I got into the list. > the GMP release, you just happen to own a very old machine which they Sorry, for having old hardware, I'll appreciate (and my girlfriend too, she would inherit my laptop and she could use it even when I'm working!) if you you donate me something newer :-) Next days I'll try with the machine of my parents, its a PentiumIII 450MHz, with Ubuntu. I'll let you know. Probably not even GMP is supporting such an old machine... > have optimised for and we have not, you just happen to know all about > coding for GMP, you just happen to like the FSF. It's all too > convenient for me. I smell a rat. It is convenient for you to "suspect" and avoid to answer, for sure. Do you think that people that like FSF are so rare within persons interested in free software libraries performing math computations? And interested on how patents can be a problem for free software? > I won't reply on this issue again. Goodbye. Adios. Gian. (By the way, MPIR's make check failed when I was testing my 10- liners... then I switched back to gcc 4.3, and make check worked again... the problem was in the compiler, probably in that snapshot of the compiler, it was a gcc-4.4.3 201001something, very bleeding edge... too much bleeding edge...)
