Well, being precise, McBain is a character normally interpreted by Reiner Wolfcastle (who was playing Atomic Man in the quote), in the successful McBain's movies.
I don't know much about chess algorithms, but aren't they exaustive calculations with integers only?
I mean, if we are not using (or using too litle) floating point units, the results of the test can be very biased. And, for financial, scientific, gaming, DTP, etc, FP is very used.
Anyway, this is one of the most fun bench tests I've seen.
I use Delphi in my daily work, and we can use its TClientDataSet components family both to:
1- Create a cliente-side cached data-packet in client-server/multi-tier environments.
2- Use "briefcase model" functionality (copy data to your notebook in the morning, go do your business and merge them back with the database in the end of the day).
3- Create small, single-user applications that stores data in XML format.
I mean, altough its obvious hierarchicals capabilities, XML is well adapted to relational stuff too.

Take a look at the good old Concorde
Joel on Software
Many texts to read, some of them really insightful
Devshed
Many tutorials, focus on scripting languages
Because
1- They loose the game to us
2- They invented beer for us to celebrate

Awarded jointly to John Keogh of Hawthorn, Victoria, Australia, for patenting the wheel in the year 2001 , and to the Australian Patent Office for granting him Innovation Patent #2001100012.
I dont get it. I've submited this news yesterday, with the same links, but it's still "pending (1)"
Well, I think as long as they dont say anything about the speed of the plane/train he used to get there, there will be no problems.
