Indeed you are. Walgreens has some old rockstar programmers though.

Comment on Trust in Compilers by Paul Peter Porges

You’re right about the complexity of semantic analysis, this sounds impossible, especially considering there has been no real improvemnts in “semantic intelligence” since the 70′ies, where everybody thought the computer would someday soon outsmart us.

I must agree with James, that if you can solve the platform/hardware adaptation problem, this threat would be much more plausible.

Remember however, that past problems, which seemed impossible to solve, have been solved, like the Poincare Conjecture.

Btw, the paper: http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p761-thompson.pdf

The problem would be to adapt the original malign
code for compilers compiled on new (and different) hardware.

It’s a scary thought, but it’s only just that–a thought.

Would make for an interesting novel ;)

For some reason I was having a FNET convo and your name came up. . I decided to be horribly annoying, stalk you, and say hello!

‘allo!

I’ve used Nevow for a number of projects and it’s a great toolkit. It’s not geared towards “quick and dirty” webapps the way some other frameworks are, but it has some of its own very powerful tools. The templating engine is very mature, and Athena (its AJAX module) is far more robust than a lot of the other approaches I’ve seen to writing client/server web applications.

Plus, it’s built on top of Twisted, so there’s a lot of other powerful things you can integrate with your server code that are normally much harder to do in a synchronous, thread-based framework.

You're thinking of Ken Thompson's classic paper Reflections on Trusting Trust.

You are such a nerd. But then again, so am I. It is for this in which You rock my face.

I must say though, the 3ware card I got to replace it is veeeeerrrry noice. Real in hardware RAID, a decent set of utilities that actually run in Linux.
