The name might be a bit confusing, but it is turing complete. It's just not a general purpose language like C or Java...

You know your programming language sucks, when...
...it implements boolean values as floats. Yes, that's right, floats! Who does THAT, you ask? Povray's scene description language! To quote the documentation (http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/228/):
When POV-Ray needs a logical or boolean value it interprets any non-zero float as true and zero as false. Because float comparisons are subject to rounding errors POV-Ray accepts values extremely close to zero as being false when doing boolean functions. Typically values whose absolute values are less than a preset value epsilon are considered false for logical expressions. The value of epsilon is system dependent but is generally about 1.0e-10. Two floats a and b are considered to be equal if abs(a-b) < epsilon.
Has anyone of you used this language? If so, I feel your pain...

RE: NS Hispeed doesn't want me to travel with them :(
I don't know about the other 80 million people in this country, but "NS Highspeed" makes me think of the Autobahn. The first ones were build by.....you guessed it. And that's something almost everybody knows here. Of course nobody will protest this name, it just has negative connotations.

RE: NS Hispeed doesn't want me to travel with them :(
The real WTF is that the company is called NS Highspeed! In a country right next to Germany! Don't their marketing guys use wikipedia?

I forgot that too.
We just received a letter from one of our customers. It contained a single piece of paper. In handwriting it said: "I forgot that too". Nothing else. Hmmm.

RE: Is this bad poll design?
The idea is not flawed at all. It just depends on the honesty of the voters. That might be perfectly acceptable as long as it's not some kind of important election. ;)
