RE: Silly question...
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.
