   Any universe in which a thinking being exists will be suited to the existence of that thinking being. No one can claim "isn't it suprising that the universe suits me" because anyone who can say it, can say it :)

   Exactly. But there are legal issues with that, if you say "Here is our legal agreement, here is another agreement I want you to read" in court people will argue they should only be held to the agreement they were asked to read. I agree wit

    Well obviously I can't communicate the full idea of "The Greatest Book Ever Written" in a comment, but I'll try :) Strange things happen when you have 'recursion' / 'strange loops' / 'self reflection' / 'mirroring' / 'strange entanglement'

    I totally disagree. I mean for a start you seem to think the book was about Godel's theorem. It was about something more general, that's Godel's theorem was merely one instance of, what exactly that general thing is..... is probably the h

    I remember the feeling of awe when I read it for the first time. My excitement was palpable. Hofstadter has said that it's an often mis-described book, that to sum it up it is about how complexity and even self-awareness can naturally spri

    Fair enough points blhack. I guess your issues with the comic itself are why I want help to improve it, but I can see what you're saying about it taking a while for anyone to really understand it. Maybe it was a bad idea to submit this :)

    At the risk of being too much of a smart-arse maybe some self-referencing could work in the comic. "Hey dude I hear you're appearing in a comic today.."

    yes I see your point hughprime. I guess the altruism motive is why I didn't mention the reward in the title, I didn't want that to be the main thing. Attention for my startup is great but if I can get something really funny / interesting i

    Hi, I paid to have a 1 page comic drawn to help promote my startup product. The artist did a great job but I think the concept / dialogue that I came up with is not as great. Check it out and see if you can come up with something better. Th

    Thanks caffeine and frig. I now understand what you is being suggested. Yes it's true, that is not how QueryCell currently works. I will have a think about this idea. My first impression is that it would be quite complicated to implement a

    Thanks for the idea caffeine. I don't quite follow though. To use querycell you load a normal Excel file into Excel. You can then open the QueryCell pane to query the regions of data in the open worksheet/workbooks. The result sets retur

    Thanks for your honest opinion sfphotoarts. I would say in defense that: - The return time doesn't scale with the number of rows returned. I have just run a query that queried 6 tables, invoked numerous string concatenations, included 2 MO
