; Does not display "who" actualy, its in the make...



(define (forum)

        (set 'buff (slice buff 0 (find "n" buff)))

        (set 'buff (replace "" buff  ""))

ps: like the first one this one doesn't take care of the 'Heisenber Effect' ;-)

Hi Lutz,



Well im not sure exactly what Heisenber's findings where but it must

have to do someting with repetition of occeurences...I already wondered

who would come up with a smarter and lispy version..Great example and

its quicker also..;-)

In Heisenberg's "Uncertainty Principle" (fundamental to Quantum Physics) he observes that the fact that we measure something may change the measurement itself. In Quantum Physics he meant specifically: measuring an elementary particle's position and momentum.



When inquiring the visitors on the forum the inquiry itself raises the visitor's count.



In software they also talk about Heisen-bugs meaning software bugs which change there occurance or nature when trying to debug them.

aha! :-) I thought i knew that name from somewhere.. though im not

into quantom mechanics (except for Startrek parts :-) And i was not

aware of the fact that the naming was also used for "Self-Solving-bugs

during debugging" ;-) But indeed this self-guest is one to keep track on ;-)
