6/21    My math and/or perl fu is weak. Is there a way to get integer
        multiplication in Perl the way it's done in C? i.e. limiting
        to 32 bits. Like 1588635697 * 1117695901 = 1166976269 in C.
        \_ Can't you just multiply and then mask all but the last 32 bits?
           \_ I don't think so; that's not the same as mult overflow.
              > perl -e 'print (1588635697 * 1117695901)'

4/16    So, here's a question.  I'm learning Python, and it seems to me that it
        includes a lot of the power of Scheme or Lips, with out the wierdness.
        Would Python make a better introduction to CS language than Scheme?
        \_ Dunno, why don't you just ask Ping, he taught a 61A style course
           in python at Cal.  He claims it was good.  I still haven't yet
           found a good dollar Return on Investment for the time I spent

3/15    ***YAWN*** can someone please post an interesting/mind boggling
        c/java trivia? Like if "I have class A {int x; } class B extends {...}
        what is the expected behaviour?" Something short but interesting
        for discussion.
        \_ Implement the factorial function without iteration or named
           functions (using lambdas is ok).  Dave, you aren't allowed to

3/10    Teach yourself programming in 10 years:
        http://norvig.com/21-days.html
        \_ "Learn at least a half dozen programming languages"
           Why? What is the point of knowing a bunch of languages
           when the only language that is of any real use is C?
           \_ Assuming this is not a troll I'll just throw in that I know
