this is a poast about la folia (or la follia)
turns out that the famous main theme from last of the mohicans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pCv7k_Hzvg
is a variation on la folia de espagna, which i guess has been central to compositions for centuries
here, listen to corelli's incorporation of the theme in a violin concerto:

(stick around until at least 3:30-4:00 or so where it just blows up, but really i recommend listening on - the whole progression is just breathtaking)
gemiani and vivaldi also use the theme in their stuff
here's a dutch website (in english) that talks about the folia:

I dunno if Godel applies to computer languages. Because his incompleteness theorem (if that's what you meant) only applies to sufficiently complex systems such as arithmetic under the (very poorly named) Real Numbers. The proof relies on how the prime numbers work (that they are infinite, that every number has one and only one prime factorization)
euclidean geometry is both complete and consistent
I suspect computer languages are more like geometry than real number arithmatic
This is Tradewars 2002
Once upon a time, possibly before most of you whipper snappers were drawing breath, I was a SysOp running Renegade BBS, and I let people dial in to my modem so they could play these games, share really bad, compressed porn, and use the crudest pre-internet message boards that essentially worked by phone tagging, area code to area code, across the country and world.
These games are the birth of the online gaming craze. This is EvE before EvE, and Ultima Online almost a decade before it existed. Know your history.
And let's [chat]
... may as well burn my chat poast.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
how fuckin dare u
i nearly died of shok at wat u rote
shame on u sir
FUCK YEAH
I had an old 286 16 mhz machine (with a whopping 2 megs and RAM and 40 megs of hard drive space) running a Searchlight BBS when I was in middle school
we ran LORD and BRE and Falcon's Eye (my favorite) and Tradewars. And this LORD clone as seen through the eyes of a teenager who is really into Conan and pornography named Usurper.
Usurper was p popular on my BBS as well. I mean, yeah... LORD clone from hell. But there was a lot more content, and the randomness of it was great.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
he said, dressed like a wizard in the dark
these are pajamas! it's time for bed!
Then LORD got Doors. So You, if you liked Doors in your BBS, Imma gonna give your doors some doors so you can step through the doors. into other doors to play games inside your games.
Doorception.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
it's p good so far
ooooh, i hope you remember all the incantations for your sleep spell
I knew it had a bad interface going in but what the hell
Then I read a warning from my aunt that the jam may explode and lo and behold the inside of my fridge is covered in homemade raspberry jam and glass
Which I of course cut myself on
Gonna be a great fucking day

and you're still headed for the glue factory, old timer
Nopers
just finished their anime knights of sidonia which was okay as far as animus go (except the absolutely cringe inducing "female emotional panic puts her in bad situation and a bunch of men panic to try and save her and everyone dies as a result" episode which sucked), the space battles were neat and stuff
I want to watch something not anime now though
Red Dwarf
Oh god just the lede of this thing
ooooh
so they're exactly the same as every other goddamn voter in the history of America ever
well no that's not fair maybe he goes on and makes some better -
The younger generation is more socially liberal than their parents?!?
But they get more conservative with higher income!!?!
OH GOD STOP IT, NO NO MORE. REALLY? MOST VOTERS DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ECONOMICS? HOLD THE FUCKING PRESSES!
Um actually your poll's definition of socialism as "government managed economy" is actually pretty wildly misleading and therefore probably a fair number of people disagreed with you just because they know better. It ignores the many "socialist leaning" governments that are still clearly capitalist, but are usually the models that we're referring to in our discussions about socialism, not to mention the political discourse of the older generations are filled with lines like, "Single payer insurance is socialism!", so frankly you're going to have to excuse us if we learned a definition that your poll doesn't agree with.

I wonder if some of the other findings are like that
I mean, I thought it was kinda common knowledge that people who are for government spending cuts often pump the brakes when its cuts of programs they know/care about
you just gonna steal my thunder
I hope you're all happy
but trying to so makes paint.net throw a fit apparently
