$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / I went on to test the program in every \ | way I could devise. I strained it to | | expose its weaknesses. I ran it for | | high-mass stars and low-mass stars, for | | stars born exceedingly hot and those | | born relatively cold. I ran it assuming | | the superfluid currents beneath the | | crust to be absent -- not because I | | wanted to know the answer, but because | | I had developed an intuitive feel for | | the answer in this particular case. | | Finally I got a run in which the | | computer showed the pulsar's | | temperature to be less than absolute | | zero. I had found an error. I chased | | down the error and fixed it. Now I had | | improved the program to the point where | | it would not run at all. | | | | -- George Greenstein, "Frozen Star: Of | | Pulsars, Black | | | \ Holes and the Fate of Stars" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
