Neat.
When I saw the subject line, I thought you were going to say something
scary, like Matz had decided to drop Ruby and devote his time to Java 1.6.

No, that’s because the PRNG changed with 1.7.x
If you are using 1.6.7, you are missing a few nice features.

Yes, I first heard that Halloween was Christmas from Richard
Hamming (of Hamming Code fame). Not directly of course. He wrote
the coding theory textbook I used in college.

Now THAT was cool!

Hello,

yeah, I know … :-/ But I’m just too lazy to reinstall Ruby on all
the boxes I happen to use.
Yes, I first heard that Halloween was Christmas from Richard
Hamming (of Hamming Code fame). Not directly of course. He wrote
the coding theory textbook I used in college.
Wow … Hamming code reminds me my Crypto&Coding course I had 2 semesters
ago - quite impressive material (and I must admit it was hard time for me
- trying to learn/understand all the things). Please, is that textbook
available somewhere on the Net?
Sincerely,
M.

I’m sure it is… but it doesn’t work for me. (self.wtf?)
I pasted quite carefully, too.
This is ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i686-linux-gnu]
All I get is a bunch of nils…
Hmmmm.

Hmm, not that I know of.
I still have it on my shelf, though. Coding and Information
Theory, Richard Hamming.
Great book, interesting topic, and yes, sometimes it’s hard to
understand.

ran into same problem … after removing the newline after print
it worked

Oh, of course, of course.
