Ok, just a funny clip. It's entirely about Perl programming, but it's not really about Perl.

    That is hilarious. He'd have had a lot less trouble if he'd have used open my $info.

    I was just giving one of my co-workers a hard time because they have to go to .NET. I told him that one day he will come to work and there will be no keyboard because VISTA will have this voice recognition stuff and he doesn't need it any more.

      Hmmm, fondly remembers an old installment UserFriendly along those lines
      Great video! I would like to see a obfuscation tutorial made using speech recognition !

    That's the past you are hearing. OS/2 Warp:
    In 1996, Warp 4 added Java and speech recognition software...Warp 4 was the last widely-distributed version of OS/2, and IBM soon announced the end of marketing the operating system to individual users.

      ... Vista was the last widely-distributed version of Windows, and MS soon announced ... oh wait, must have been dreaming...

    I don't get it. Are you saying that in the future, we won't have to check the return value of open()? 'Cause that's all I got out of it.

    Vista is amazing.
