If that is so.. then the stats reflect the most popular language, that is being learned at the moment. I was under the illusion they reflected the most popular languages, that are desired in the job market at the moment. I also noticed, in the list of real programmers, qualifications, that it didn't mention anything about taking full advantage of the the Ballmer Peak.[^]

I recently read the book Programming the Universe, by Seth Lloyd. I think it was this book, that talked about the infinite monkey theorem. And the probability that the monkeys could write shakespear given a keyboard with only letters numbers and puncutation, would be (1/(number of keys on the keyboard)^(number of letters in a shakespear book)) which is an enourmously small chance. One is more likely to create a simulated Universe in a very powerfull computer that will be able to output a Universe the same as ours. and also, a random number generator that produces the same number every time, is not a random number generator at all, by the definition of random.

I chose the first because it contained the words 3d and wizard. I immeadiantly conjure of ideas of what that article might be about. I didn't choose the second because it had to many "technical" terms in a row i.e "cross-domain web proxies" and "asynchronous HTTP handlers", which almost immediatly turned me off to the article. In the end i would have probably read both because of my inquisitive nature but for the layman which i guess i am compared to the majority here on the CP.

I wonder how comparable the energy realease was of the rocket sled and cement truck. I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to the same.

Quantum Theology by Ó Murchú, Diarmuid. Great read. This book really put to words things I couldn't
