        I haven't seen this yet but what does Noam Chomsky say in the
        movie? Is he the same Chomsky the brilliant computer scientist, and
        is he a communist?
        \_ Noam Chomsky is a linguist (I refrained from making a pun), not a
           computer person.  He make incisive radical-left critiques of
           American politicians and foreign policy, and the way language is
           manipulated.
           \_ Incisive?  The man is a freak.
        \_ Chomsky, champion of the Khmer Rouge.
           \- Chomsky also invented the PEZ dispenser.
              \_ Noam Chomsky is a such a big dick, and tax-free!
                 \_ No, not tax-free, you have to find another phrase for
                    Chomsky. How about common use property?
                    \_ How about Nim Chimpsky?  (They actually called some
                       sign language chimp that). -- ilyas

12/18   Happy 25th birthday Perl, and FUCK YOU Larry Wall for fucking up
        the computer science formalism that sets back compilers development
        back for at least a decade:

        \_ I tried to learn Perl but was scared away by it.  Maybe scripting
           lanauages have to be like that in order to work well?

6/18    Is this the end of the line for Chomskyan grammar?  The strange
        language of the Piraha

        \_ Their notion of color makes more sense than ours, I think.
           Daniel Dennett talks a lot about this phenomenon, how seemingly
           atomic concepts in our language aren't really. -- ilyas

5/21    I was not a CS major and never took the compiler class.  What is
        a good book to help me write a compiler?  And what about interpreter?
        Do they basically involve the same issues except code generation and
        optimization?
        \_ Use the book by Robert Mak, called "Writing Interpreters and
           Compilers in C++." It's a practical, hands-on "lab" type book which
