Theory of computation (Turing machines, automata, computational complexity, algorithms, NP completeness, big-O) is ...
- The crowning achievement of humankind
- Awesome; the PCP theorem makes me weak in the knees
- Pretty cool; I've even applied some of those things in practice
- Interesting, but hard to understand
- Something I've always wanted to learn more about, but never have the time
- Something I don't think I'll ever really understand
- Irrelevant for me; Never used it, never will
- In theory the same as practice, but in practice it's not*
- Something I barely survived in school and never want to think about again
- Best left to someone other than me
- A necessary evil in computer science
- A tactic employed by CS departments to make their students miserable
- A bunch of useless, self-important, academic jibberish
- Too impenetrable and abstract to even make up my mind

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
