Like anything in the mainstream press, tantalisingly short on detail. I argued back in 1996 that Economics needs to take on an evolutionary outlook in a paper that was ultimately published in 2000. Indeed, I used the same Mashallian quote mentioned in the article: Standish, R.K. (2000) ``The

I think it's simply that Russel has his computer date wrong (one day early), and while Outlook uses the local arrival time, Thunderbird uses the remote sender's time. Of course it's pretty absurd that in 2006 we still don't have computers on networks naturally synchronized time-wise by default.

I do autosyncronise my computers clock with NTP. Where it all goes pear shaped is that I send mail from Linux running on VMWare running on top of Windows. Everytime windows hibernates, VMWare's clock gets screwed up. I have a menu item that connects to NTP and syncronise's Linux's clock, but that

I know economics uses game theory, but I'm not sure whether evolutionary game theory has caught on. This came up in a thread on wedtech, so I thought I'd pass it along: I'm reading this: Game Theory Evolving by Herbert Gintis http://tinyurl.com/z22cj I like it because it looks
