The mad man thinks others need help. Here's a quick way to check though: if this thread were about you bashing Lisp it wouldn't exist. I don't view any tool as such an integral part of myself that I would be willing to spend weeks defen

That's hilarious. From your behavior in this thread I'm pretty convinced that you have problems that could use professional help. I'm telling you I see a problem, where I see the problem (you see perl as part of who you are) and you see

You could get rid of passenger trains and just have the cars drive right in when they chose a train route. Also, for parking, we can take advantage of LIFO. Today, every single car has to be able to get out independent of the others. With

Any citations on that? I've heard people claim that but in actual practice I believe it's only used against career criminals. The issue I've heard complained about is that if there is a career criminal dad, he can cause the whole family t
