I bet a lot of Basic code can be compiled to PHP just by changing the caps.

The opposite problem of the one he had in high school.

Hate to be a pedant, but the important thing is not intelligence that exceeds humans, but intelligence that can scale arbitrarily.

Then how do humans do it if we're Turing machines?

I like how science can be automated but programming needs to be outsourced to India.

Luck is a myth, and you can waive the need for time with better hardware.

Go be the smartest person at a Java shop!

Actually, I don't think you can delete / at all on unix. It's its own parent.

Unfortunately, you won't get clojure on the pun issue.

It seems like a lot of new languages have macros. Lisp is moving on to phrase four of it's diabolical scheme...

I think it's more of a continuum than that: Let's make the best program ever Let's make a great calendar Let's make a calendar that makes it easy to share files Let's make a calendar with ftp

No macros?

What the hell? Is the RTE part of the government? If so, why don't they just be honest and raise taxes?

I'd trade Sun-evil for Microsoft-evil any day.

Loading screens are usually irritating; in general do what you can to minimize them.

I really don't think he meant that last one literally; just an example of a situation where a throwaway, uninteresting program would be necessary.

"C++ templates and their touring [sic] completeness"? I think you may be mistaken, sir.

I'm incredibly impressed that you didn't immediately close the page after seeing that pun.

I'm glad a language other than Lisp can finally eat it's own tail.

Take a look at their FAQ:

"Q: Why is Qimo4Kids.com running on Windows and .Net? A:Both the design and hosting for this website is being donated to us by TMR Agency. While they are not a Linux shop, they wanted to be involved in helping us get educational software to kids in the capacity they could. We are extremely fortunate and grateful for the amount of design and development effort they put into our website, as well as their continued hosting space and bandwidth."

Their site runs in ASP on Windows? That's a bit messed up for a linux distribution.

Definately useful, but it seems a bit sparse at the moment. Are they planning to add more books?
