it's totally ignorant and intellectually irresponsible (as in "unscrupulousness of engineers") to exclude the very source of modern science (together with the chinese) as being "of no further interest" to technology or whatever that is based on. go and get yourself a copy of the fragment of the pre-socratics (f.e. thales, pythagoras, philolaos, archytas), read it and then come back. if you still think that this has nothing to do with /. then i guess you're in the wrong place anyways. moron...
