What is the sound of one Mesh clapping ?

While reading some of the coverage about Live Mesh, I came across this:

"Can Mesh support Twitter streams orchestrated by identity mapping via affinities and abstracted to devices across OS, mobile, and corporate divides via Silverlight?"

Try as I might, I really have no idea what that question means. I think it might be a koan. Now I just have to wait for the moment of enlightenment generated by pondering it.

Let's see...

(can-support? mesh
(orchestrated (streams twitter)
(and
(via (mapping identities) affinities)
(via
(abstracted-to devices
(and OS mobile corporate))
Silverlight))))

I don't know if it makes any sense that way, but at least it parses. :-)

Ah, a Lisp koan. If I had a Lisp interpreter and definitions for some of the non-standard functions, I could at least run it and see what happens :-)

My favorite koan is the "uncarved block".

Taking a class from Sussman this semester has been enlightening -- that koan leaves out the part where Sussman repeatedly clears his throat while Minsky tries to talk to him, probably.
