Hello Peter, The answer is also silly - Yes and No. If you wanted your Seti program to keep running, then no, but if you wanted it to have the latest libc, then yes.
Speaking of Seti, it took us 3.5 billion years of evolution without this planet burning, freezing, or being otherwise wiped out, to be able to build Seti. I think the possibility of a false positive is much greater than finding actual space aliens within a few million light years. True randomness includes all possible patterns. Consider that if an infinite number of rednecks with an infinite number of shotguns fired at an infinite number of road signs, they would create braille versions of all the world's great literature.

Hi Everyone, I just recently did an apt-get update apt-get upgrade and something like 20 meg was downloaded, this is the biggest download I have seen and I do this weekly. My question is though, a new libc was downloaded, do I need to reboot for this to be used? I have an uptime of 96 days of pure seti crunching to give up if I do.. so I thought I'd ask first.. :) Regards, Pete. -- Due to a lack of imagination, this signature will remain under construction indefinitely. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
