    When I hear code breaking, computer science, and cutting edge math, I think gay sex.

    But I'm odd that way, I guess.

    It is perfectly legal today to 'tinker' with the software running your car today

    Not necessarily correct in all locations. Any area in with an EPA non-attainment, you will likely run into trouble when you get your vehicle safety inspection done. Yes, it varies. Yes, you are responsible for determining what modifications are legal in your jurisdiction.

    Go read some of the Bible and tell me again some time what you know of Christianity.

    Does it run netBSD?

  19. Re:Redundancy on Clever Clues Clobber Crossword Computer · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. The computer likely double checks cross clues to verify any individual answer. If one of answers starts to appear to be jibberish, it will throw a large swath of intersecting answers in doubt. If the jibberish answer crosses a large portion of the grid, the doubt can propagate through the entire puzzle.
