Any sufficiently advanced programming language...

is case sensitive. Parts of our own internal system are case insensitive. At runtime, as variables and scripts change, I have discovered that better than 25% of the computing resources is spent converting the case of the strings!
Any sufficiently gross incompetence is nearly indistinguishable from malice.

I used to work on a newspaper publishing system that worked on a multitude of different hardware platforms using a single code-base. The number of times data got byte-swapped between when it was first received from the server to when it was presented to the user on-screen was truly stupendous. There were numerous instances where people had byte-swapped the data to nullify the effects of a byte-swap they knew was going to happen a bit later but were too afraid to touch the code :wtf: :omg: I even remember seeing once where somebody byte-swapped to cancel a byte-swap that somebody had done to cancel another byte-swap later on. I swear I'm not making this up!

And any sufficiently advanced programmer is case sensitive, too. But think about the upcoming cadre of technology workers. What sort of programs and/or languages will the 1337 generation write?
