An anonymous reader writes "Today version 7.6 of the Swedish programming language Pike was released. Some of the noteworthy additions are support for the Bittorrent protocol, the OBEX protocol (to communicate with cellular phones), IPv6, PGP and Bz2. If you want to beat the crap out of your Python/Perl program speedwise, try porting it to Pike..."

    Ok, it's a Swedish programming language. Thus, I'm assuming that error handling consists of log entries reading "[Bork Bork Bork!!] Some error text here"

    {
    bork("bork, bork, bork!\n");

    I had not known PHP supported the File Transfer Protocol protocol. FTP protocol transfers occur via your NIC card. I I wonder if that's the protocol used in ATM machines, you know, when you put your PIN number in?

    %BORK - Bork Pointer
    This 32-bit register always points to the translated instruction on the stack : this means that the PUSH and POP operations would be specified in pseudo-C as:

    *--BORK = value; // put ze cheeken in de oven

    value = *BORK++; // done
