Hmm. I didn't have trouble with any of them. (Reload for different variants.)
It may be that the tests go beyond a simple Turing test and also validate for a certain level of intelligence. I suppose that would be useful sometimes as well.
I'll vouch for this. Our kid used to get hiccups 5-6 times a day (in fact he got them quite often in utero), and at 6 months still gets them at least once a day. Loud ones. And it doesn't bother him *at all*, he just keeps doing whatever he was doing.
He also sneezes 3-4 times in a row on a regular basis, and quite enjoys that.

That is a typo I would say
Yeah, the keys for "light" are right next to the keys for "sound". Happens all the time.
Tie between that and "Family" for me. No coincidence that both of them take place completely outside the regular setting, and both are rely almost entirely on Patrick Stewart.
Stewart is the only reason TNG wasn't an utter failture.
Ah, that's right. That book is where the English language came from after all. It's so nice that God decided that the Chicago manual of style was the Official reference text.
It is generally regarded as an incorrect use. Apostrophes are only used for plural letters (e.g. "Johnny got 5 A's this term.") or plural acronyms that end in s (to avoid ambiguity). (e.g. "He owns two Lincoln LS's.")
Quake was the *only* reason that any PC graphics companies went to the trouble of implementing OpenGL on consumer hardware. If Carmack hadn't decided to boycott it, Direct3D/DirectX would be the only 3D video API used in PC games today. Period.
Currently we also have companies like Apple to thank for aggressively supporting it, integrating and improving OpenGL.
That goes back to Carmack again. He went to Apple more than once evangelizing OpenGL, and his games have always been the Macworld showpieces on new hardware in the iMac era.
As XML is just another text format, it follows that Perl will be just as good at processing XML documents.
Not really. If you're using XML as "just another text format", then you're making a funamental mistake. Within your software, you should always be treating XML as a hierarchical data structure, not as a text stream. Apart from manipulating CDATA or attribute value text, Perl has no particular strength with XML.

Would give you a better effect in most BASICs, as it would suppress the trailing carriage return and fill the whole screen instead of just the left side.
The worst thing is that, if you have a very large XML doc with deeply nested and complex hierarchies, its a killer on performance.
Wow, that's insightful!
In other news, implementing a clustered relational database system to store preferences for an email program is killer in terms of expense and complexity.
Of course the complementary technology to that is the head tracking incorporated into modern FPS games that lets you look around corners by leaning waaay over in your seat.
Heh, I went to high school in Winnipeg with that guy. (Well, he was in grade 9 when I was in grade 12.) He was a math prodigy back then. Placed highly in all the Canadian math competitions while he was underaged by a few years.
My only advice would be to drop those lousy interminable fantasy series. Ignore anyone that suggests Goodkind, Eddings, or Jordan. There are many other authors that are capable of starting and finishing a story, while providing far more depth of character, in a single book than these hacks ever will even if the series go on *forever*.

You went at least that long in Half-Life before shooting someone.

You don't get out much. This is exactly (and only) as insecure as any other arbitrary CGI script that they might write and run.
If the CGI environment is properly chrooted, this is a perfectly safe tool.
If the users currently have the ability to FTP CGI scripts to the server and run them, then how is this is any less secure?
Uh, what the hell does that have to do anything? His point that these machines are intended for server-room applications still stands.
I also run several multi-processor 64-bit servers used daily for building Open Source and Free software.
Oh please, now you're just shamelessly begging for slashdroid mod points. Pathetic.

From the product description of the $20,595 (+$650 shipping) giant hemispherical 180 Computer Monitor:

In shorter words than my first post: DUH. Who the hell is trying to store large complex databases in XML?
Your problem isn't that XML doesn't scale, your problem is that you have no clue where it is appropriately used.
Wow, that's insightful!

Nope. She and her "life partner" adopted twins.
Called the Cheverolet "Whim" if I recall correctly. The article's not on the website right now unfortunately. Go buy the books. :)
I think he meant it as an expression: "sky.isFalling() == true". Which is equally silly, since "isFalling()" is the same thing and simpler.<P>
Reminds me of when I saw a co-worker's code snippet: "(foo == bar) ? true : false".
