I have enough trouble making my code compile in ONE language, 4 at the same time is a bit much

Now this is exactly why I am proud to be a programmer. Screw Picaso and DaVinci, this is what real art is all about.
This presents an interesting dilemma though. What Emacs mode do I use to look at the code??? perl-mode, c-mode, I dunno. Fontifying just complicates it even more.
At any rate, this shit is going up in my cube. If they should this in a frame, I would buy it and hang it in my house.
int func(int a);
func((b += 3, b));
Well, I guess that is one way to keep people from saying that your implementation isn't portable enough.
Note that, even though this is standard C, gcc won't compile it, complaining about the lack of a "main" function.
It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.
Ironically, the article isn't even valid in one language.
Any sufficiently well-organized community is indistinguishable from Government.
Befunge is,
Holy mackerel! I am in love. I've found the object of my dreams.
In this file, if I change the problem-solving logic slightly, I have to change it in several places. What would be truly cool (and incredibly difficult), in my opinion, would be to completely eliminate redundant logic.
What?!? Eliminate redundant logic? That would put microsoft out of business!

Java ~ C#
Diablo ~ Dungeon Siege
This is left as an exercise for the reader.
Wow, if I saw that a few years ago, I would've been so scared I would've never touched another programming language again! Slashdot, please think of the children before you post things like that.

Huh?
Of your list only C++ is a language. However one could right an Apache module in C++ that accesses a MySQL database... err wait actually that been done!

Gees, maybe I need to stop reading

By the way, if you claim prior art, this is not true. I came up with this program back in 1984 when I was banging enter on the keyboard of my Commodore Pet computer and realized that I was programming it without my knowledge.

News Reporter: So how'd you do it?
Guy: Well, the nanotech was already there. I just wrote a small program in BrainFuck in order to hunt down the virus.
Well, at least censorship would go out the window the same time we cure World Disease.
