Cryptonomicon

Name: Anonymous 2008-10-08 5:02

So this is Neil Stephenson's second book, after Snow Crash. It portrays Alan Turing and Godel as homosexuals.

``Lawrance can figure it out,'' Alan said. ``It'll give him something to do.''

*

Soon it became clear that Alan really meant It'll give him something to do while we're fucking.

Discuss.

I can't get over the fact that Stephenson would disgrace a distinguished man such as Alan Turing with accusations of engaging in homosexual acts, that's all.

It's his second book worth mentioning, obviously. Learn to comprehend.

You do realize Cryptomonicon is fiction, right? Fiction is the telling of stories which are not real.

Wait, did a real /prog/-rider actually not know that Turing was gay as fuck?

I always wondered why people called him Anal Touring. I finally got around to reading his Wikipedia article and true enough, he is a bit lavender, if you know what I mean.

``It's me,'' Alan said. ``But Rudy's joking. `Turing' doesn't really have an umlaut in it.''

``He's going to have an umlaut in him later tonight,'' Rudy said, looking at Alan in a way that, in retrospect, years later, Lawrence would understand to have been smoldering.

I have some test files to do tests and check things out in various languages. Like test.hs, test.c, test.py, and so on. My friend said that I was gay for doing this. Does anyone else do this?

It's only logical, especially for faggoty languages that require ten lines of boilerplate just to check what an expression evaluates to.

please post your test files I would like them thank you very much

But it's just random functions. Right now, my test.hs contains the sieve and fibs and ring drawing function for opanGl, test.c is some for loop (I'm learning C) and test.py is empty.
