1/ I've done a bit in Project Euler and have found many algorithms to get prime numbers. There is one that is 10 times faster than any other that I have found, it uses numpy. Unfortunately, I don't understand it at all. However, neither would I understand Python's sort method, but I still use it. 2/ I used be able to take a car to pieces and put it back together. Today, I wouldn't stand a chance. I suppose that what I'm trying to say is that there will always be a need for "experts" that know different OS's and how a computer works inside, and there will also be a need for coders who code a programme that is needed at a certain time. Is there really a time that knowing that "list" is interpreted as "10010001000100010010000100010010" is important these days? Please flame me --
