Or, they could go with this idea... http://internet.ls-la.net/pictures/images/Computer /Windows-Cement.png (Yes, I know. This is old news. But it's still worth a chuckle or two.)

It sounds a bit similar to that new Microsoft keyboard, you know the one where it moves the keys round depending on which are most frequently used, and begins to hide those that haven't been used for a while.

I already have this: http://internet.ls-la.net/pictures/images/Computer /Etherkiller.jpg
to power up computer that "friends" give me to be fixed.

with 'Born to kill'


i was thinking more along the lines of 'Born to Frag'

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, Born to Frag.

Yea, it must be good. After all, you can combine CE technology, ME technology and NT technology, and you have Windows CEMENT, the toughest Windows of them all.

Wait, which keyboard? This one? or this one?

A remote control for the iBrator!

So there are what, 4 people using linux at home that also have intimate enough relationships to actually produce offspring

At least some of us Linux users are capable of extremely intimate relationships. If there is a small number of Linux users with kids, it may be because we are smart enough to read the man page for condoms. And of course, the little part in the birth control pill manual that says they aren't effective for 30 days after you start taking them or after missing a dose. Windows machines, and their owners, get knocked up all the time because they aren't smart enough to RTFM. Often, even their operating system was loaded on the computer without their consent. It isn't that windows users have more sex, its just that they have more mishaps.

And Linux users are also capable of creating intellectual creations which reduces the psychological need to spawn biological creations.

Mac users, on the other, hand may have trouble reproducing because they are always too busy using their iBrators :-).

...to buy a new shiny iBrator to go along with your shiny new mac laptop! There's no "guilt" in iBrator!

They are into something. "Special" brownies maybe...

Offered as evidence, the infamous Black Perl, which i think was valid perl through version 3.

Yes, in order to make sendmail even more convoluted, I recommend it be rewritten in perl.

I'd have suggested rewriting Sendmail in Sendmail. A self-compiling mail transfer agent would be uber-1337, indeed. The .cf file for that would scare the living shit out of me, though.

If you think that's ridiculous, check out: 99 bottles of beer in Sendmail.

Are you saying then that using "==" is valid english?

Nope. I'm saying that language is flexible. In this case, most of the audience is familiar with the notation and meanings in the world of programming and can easily generalize to understand my usage.

For that matter, "==" isn't all that well-defined in the area of programming languages. Consider its meanings across programming languages, or across types within a language. Even in C, the meaning of "==" varies depending on the types to which it's applied. Consider the case of "p==0", when p is a pointer (keeping in mind that there exist platforms on which the representation of a NULL pointer is not all-bits-zero). Or comparisons of integers of different sizes and signedness (which even differs subtly between traditional and ANSI C). Then of course there's C++ where "==" when applied to user-defined classes is a real "humpty-dumpty" equality.

Of course, in programming, the meaning of "==" is very precisely defined for any given statement in any given context, but in nearly all cases the precise definition is simply an attempt to formalize the higher, fuzzier notion of equality appropriately for the context.

In the real world, nearly any application of the notion of equality will be fraught with exceptions, because the real world is an inherently messy place. Therefore, I can use "==", even in the face of exceptions.

I'm curious to see a poem with a missaplication of computer programming or logic symbols. I think it would make for an interesting read. =) Maybe I can even tie in some sort of english poem writing with my computer programming. =D

There's quite a bit of this sort of thing floating around. Google for "perl poetry", for example. Perl poetry is interesting because on of the requirements is that the code/poem must parse and execute without error (though it needn't do anything useful -- however, it's exceptionally cool if it does, and downright awesome if it produces/does something that adds materially to the theme or message of the poem). There's also plenty of poetry around that uses programming symbols and constructs but would never run.

Spend some time with google and you'll find all kinds of interesting stuff. I quite like this one.

Or this.

... the Expect version (by Don Libes, the creator of Expect). It's the only program that has made me laugh out loud when I ran it.

this?

It helps to use a language that has number-to-english-cardinal built into it (hint: it's the ~R entries in the format string).

This one is too... lol

Maybe they'll add a built-in Microsoft Keyboard in the consumer version.

Nice, but I think this one in written ZT is somehow neater.

cLive ;-)

Indeed. Any "99 bottles" programming list complete enough to include the infamous sendmail version is more than enough. No contest need be held.

Besides, "99 bottles" is boring. Use the programmer's version:

99 little bugs in the code,
99 little bu-u-u-ugs,
fix a bug,
compile again,
100 little bugs in the code.

(Subsequent verses increase the number of bugs by powers of two, i.e., 99, 100, 102, 106, 114, 130, 162, 226, ...)

Gee, hope none of the contestants find this place, even though it's the first hit on Google...

=Smidge=

...so long as this exists? It's pretty well stocked with languages. Why did someone even come up with this contest?

I they would sing: http://99-bottles-of-beer.ls-la.net/

This one's for Ballmer....
Guess this is where you got your inspiration from, Bill !!

You're correct... That's what I get for remembering that there is a way to do that with templates...

Here is the code that actually does what I was aiming for.

It's been a while since I've done anything with templates... the joys of being in a CS department that worships at the holy altar of Joy and Gosling...

Yes but when will they have microchips than can control the flow of beer?

You don't need any particular chip, just the right protocol.

Looking for that perfect programming language that really gets your "mojo" pumping? Give one of these 227 programming languages a try... I'm sure one of them is bound to turn you on.

Plus the mascot for BSD kicks the mascot for Linux's ass.

Um... okay.

Just choose your favorite language amongst the ones used in the "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" gallery.
I'll personally offer 99 bottles of Chimay Belgian beer to the winner of he does it in BrainF***!
