The Who's Who of Theoretical Chemistry ...

... is basically this list. Well, of course a lot of great people have stayed back. Still it's amazing what names are on there. That feeds into my revolutionary spirit ...
I used to think science was about science, at least for basic research. Well even science is about squeezing every possible penny out of your competition.
Admittedly I am using Microsoft and admittedly I have used this program named after the 19th century German mathematician. I guess they are both ok, it's just sad how power makes you paranoid.

Houk, Bredas and Hoffmann aren't on the list. Interesting.

Oh, scratch that...Bredas is at Georgia Tech, which is banned.
That's interesting: 3 of 4 schools I'm applying to are Gaussian-free!

well neither my boss, nor the guy i'm working for at UIUC right now, are on the list either, which is kind of disappointing ... but then as I said i think it's still a useful code
by the way: i don't think gaussian bans whole schools but just groups, which I know because open minded as I am I read their defense page ... "Malicious Lies and Slander" (http://www.gaussian.com/libel.htm)
