If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

We are about to study the idea of a computational process. Computational processes are abstract beings that inhabit computers. As they evolve, processes manipulate other abstract things called data. The evolution of a process is directed by a pattern of rules called a program. People create programs to direct processes. In effect, we conjure the spirits of the computer with our spells.

I'm just saying, 'cos, seriously every (authoritative) book or long paper about programming I've read starts its sections with quotes by anybody from Locke to Milton, or else snark by some programmer slightly older than the writer.

@mellon: That made me think of the box art for the first Half Life game.

Now I'm imagining Gordon Freeman as a wizard.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

"This is the objective of the coalition now, it is not to protect civilians because now they are directly fighting against the armed forces," Khaled Kaim, the deputy foreign minister, said in Tripoli. "They are trying to push the country to the brink of a civil war."

To the brink?

Feeling adventurous, Yuki withdrew her entire life savings, and took the whole Brigade to a strip club. It was pretty damn fun. Haruhi ripped off several G-strings with her teeth, Itsuki ate cake off some college-dropout's stomach, Mikuru got a lap-dance, and Kyon found out he had a thing for banana daiquiris. Yuki also discovered her talent for pole-dancing.

Trouble occurred, however, when a sauced-up Kyon tried to strangle an escort when she wouldn't 'go all the way'. He destroyed lots of property in the ensuing fight with her pimp, and as a result, the gang was forced to work as strippers.

Kyon and Itsuki's stage names were "The Charming, General Person" and "The Crimson Super Ball". Yuki and Haruhi on the other hand, moonlighted as the sexy tag-team of "Vanilla Lightning and Chocolate Thundah".

Mikuru just discovered her hidden talent for mixing drinks.
