How the heck do you ride it?? Where do your feet go? Where do your legs go? Can anyone point to a picture of said device populated by ordinary bipeds?
I realise that a photo showing a real, live human being on it might detract from their carefully composed marketing cool, but hey c'mon guys! Where do I fit on it? How do I fit on it? Where do I put the babe in leathers with a taste for high-tech exotica?
After ten plus years of coding in 8080 ASM, PL/I, FORTRAN, C, and C++, I've settled on Java as the tool of choice. But it's only recently that I've dug into LISP, and I'm fascinated by what I find. Read the story about the Yahoo online store that two guys wrote, but then they hired a dozen more people so the VC's wouldn't ask stupid quesions like "How could only two guys possibly write something so excellent?". The story can be found here.
I don't know well LISP stands up in a production environment -- in that I have no idea how easy it is (or is not) to read and understand and maintain someone else's LISP code -- but just for the perspective and the opportunity to get a revelation, I'd advise giving LISP a serious shot.

Similar pains in the Xopus project. Someone who has actively contributed, please comment.
Lafforgue's work is about the Langlands program, but it's extremely difficult to find info about it on the Web. Can anyone provide pointers?
From 1924. A classic.
