hmmm,
Can you go to hell for writing bad code? I know there's a lot of people I'd like to put there if that was the case! I don't buy the hell bit myself, I think it was just a political move to coerce and encourage coercion. After all, if you can save someone from eternal hellfire by torturing them, it's worth it!
Hey,
If pretending your Christ, helps you write better code I'm all for it! Do it guy! I'm an orthodox Jew myself and I believe making ANYTHING more perfect means making it closer to G-d. I suppose we're saying the same thing I just very carefully subract the anthropomorphism.
Totally out of line! I've interviewed for top security military stuff and they never even required such a thing. These guys are off the wall, be glad you'll never see them again!
The trouble with computers is they do what you say not what you mean and the trouble with people is they do what you mean and not what you say! Programs thay try to guess what you're doing (ala MicroSoft Wierd) can range from terribly helpful to terribly annoying.
Well, semitic languages use standard suffixes and prefixes to indicate object/subject gender and plurality, so you can legally state in entire sentence with subject object and verb in one word, but C already does this.
the classic
++buffA* = ++buffB*
for example. It's even already backwards, like Hebrew and Arabic! that is the first thing accessed is on the right hand side and proceeds to the left. Conclusion C is not English!
What I've seen is a lot of work on fancy art for the same interfaces (themes for example). I think you're right that the IAppliance market will generate a revolution in simplicity and there is a lot of effort (research) being done at Apple, Microsoft and elsewhere about simplifying interfaces. What I feel is being neglected, even by the Linux community, is better interfaces for expert users, I mean Emacs does everything, right?

Hey, this ain't the source, it's the assembly!!! Anybody got the source out there? Preferably with comments?
