Two of those three are redundant. Take a guess which ones (the third item isn't part of the anwer set).
If you take a programmer that writes disciplined, careful, extensible, extendable and professional C - are they going to start generating hacked up crap when they switch to Perl? No. They're not. They split source among modules. They use naming conventions. They use strict. They use the namespaces. They use clear syntax. The end result looks almost like C most of the time. Except when it doesn't, 'cause it's Perl.
What does C written by hack-job Perl "programmers" look like?
Rephrasing #37 - "It ain't the arrow, it's the (Native American)".
The people who get spend their livies in prison for "tax mistakes" are likely about as innocent as people that get tossed in jail for "computer mistakes".
You goof - they catch it - you get a letter. You then settle what you owe, with a possible penalty.
You keep a spare set of books, set up companies to buy product from you, report their income as your own, etc... is not a "tax mistake".
Much like "accidentally" stealing code from a DoD facility and passing it out to your buddies is not a "computer mistake".
(and for those who will go off the bat about the individuals in jail for computer crimes who should not (in their opinion) be there - put a sock in it. That's not what we're discussing)
Then there's always an alternate use for your hand... that's right! Doing taxes manually. On paper. Think of doing taxes as learning a braindead API for interfacing with the goverment.
I rather like it.
Smell of cedar and graphite. A little calculator, a big rule book. Lots of nice little numbers.

George Eastman did indeed do this - and the Eastman Kodak factory in Rochester NY ran on this schedule until the early 80's, according to information in the George Eastman house.
I am consistantly tickled by writing that comes from upper mangement! It says (in a highly circuitous fashion) just about nothing with a great many words. This one may have to enter my collection!
I don't know about you guys, but it sounds great for anyone with a sailboat, a cottage by a lake, etc. Slap your laptop in a pelican case and take it into the wilderness for two weeks. Use it an hour a day or so and let it recharge the rest of the time. Lots of cool uses - if it were about $100 cheaper I think I'd be grabbing one right now!
Indeed - somehow I would guess a massive ground support infrastructure would be required to keep 66 satelites in sync... Motorola's charging like $120 million+ per unit of some time (you can tell I forgot, can't you) for what has to be some pretty spiffy services... 'Twould be kinda cool to donate them to groups as massive tax write offs or something /Indeed
I seem to recall something about "Bielfeld-Brown effect" having to do with pumping obscenely high voltage AC through a dielectric and getting fluctuations in weight... I recall seeing a photograph of a hovering disk with huge power cables in a book somewhere... May not be biefeld... maybe brownfield, something of that nature...

I'm giving in this time.
I work in a shop where we maintain (after last count) 112,002 lines of perl in a single system (which also contains about half a million lines of C).
Guess what? It's not a problem! Not in the slightest!
And you know why?
- Modules
- Coding conventions
- Mature programmers

Make a mistake, go to jail. Nice!

Very true. Unlike, say, Mac and Amiga journalists :)
Brief moment of thought - what would have happened if Standard Oil had content control of the major news sources of the day...
I fear that, as Jeff Cooper has said, "We live in the age of the wimp".
Expect more of this in the future. Our children will think this is normal.
Most major airports have a "golfball" somewhere.
