Suppose we blasted all politicians into space. Would the SETI project find even one of them?

I have long since given up dealing with people who hold idiotic opinions as if they had arrived at them through thinking about them.

Those who write software only for pay should go hurt some other field.

Languages shape the way we think, or don't.

C being what it is lacks support for multiple return values, so the notion that it is meaningful to pass pointers to memory objects into which any random function may write random values without having a clue where they point, has not been debunked as the sheer idiocy it really is.

It's not that Perl programmers are idiots, it's that the language rewards idiotic behavior in a way that no other language or tool has ever done.

That's why the smartest companies use Common Lisp, but lie about it so all their competitors think Lisp is slow and C++ is fast.
