To continue yesterdays *math* topic:
How to prove that all odd numbers are prime ?
Well, this problem has different solutions whether you are a:
Measure nontheorist:
There are exactly as many odd numbers as primes (Euclid, Cantor), and exactly one even prime (namely 2), so there must be exactly one odd nonprime (namely 1).
Cosmologist:
1 is prime, yes it is true....
Computer Scientist:
1 is prime, 10 is prime, 11 is prime, 101 is prime...
Programmer:
1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 will be fixed in the next release, ...
C programmer:
01 is prime, 03 is prime, 05 is prime, 07 is prime, 09 is really 011 which everyone knows is prime, ...
BASIC programmer:
What's a prime?
COBOL programmer:
What's an odd number?
Windows programmer:
1 is prime. Wait...
Mac programmer:
Now why would anyone want to know about that? That's not user friendly. You don't worry about it, we'll take care of it for you.
Bill Gates:
1. No one will ever need any more than 1.
ZX-81 Computer Programmer:
1 is prime, 3 is prime, Out of Memory.
Pentium owner:
1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 8.9999978 is prime...
GNU programmer:

Oops, let's try that again:

Um, right. Okay, how about this:
1 is prime, 3 is not prime, 5 is not prime, 7 is not prime, 9 is not prime...
So much for the beta releases. Ship this:
1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is a feature, 11 is prime...
and put on the cover "More prime numbers than anyone else in the industry !"
and to be continued yet again tomorrow!
