Slashdot
I quit reading slashdot regularly long ago, as the content was always getting poorer and poorer. I still drop by and check out what they have when I’m bored, but this really reaffirms my belief that slashdot isn’t “News for Nerds”, it’s “News for people who don’t have a clue”.
Programs can check whether certain objects are doing certain things by comparing their numerical values.
Good grief.

That article is hilarious. I’m not sure it could be any more wrong if it tried. I particularly like this summary from a Slashdot comment:
* Programs use if statements
* The more complex the program, the more if statements
* FF7 filled 4 CDs with if statements
* Spore is even more complex than FF7
* Spore must be using some new programming paradigm
* I’m confused about what the paradigm is or what it’s called, but I’m sure it uses fewer if statements
