I started implementing the Brent-Salamin algorithm(to calculate decimals of pi) and ran into similar problems. The general attitude against these problems are very similar to those in the early 90's with unix geeks refusing to use anything "graphical". Instead of doing anything about it people just treat you as an idiot when it's VERY clearly an issue that needs to be solved not buried.<br /><br />Sincerely<br /><br />David SinclairDavid Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507618200116332078noreply@blogger.com
