Yeah, but if you keep the current naming scheme, you get to call the incompetent bank employees "vankers" :)

Mod parent up. And see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/endemic

Yeah, funny, but this precisely illustrates the difference between "random" and "arbitrary" in science. "Arbitrary" means I don't care what you pick, "random" means I care that nobody should be able to predict what you'll pick. And that is clearly not the case if you pick 5 all the time.

I gave Lua a shot, several years ago. Was disappointed, quite a lot. Did not feel right to me at all. In fact, I soon found myself fighting it on many occasions. At that point in time, read() was *silently* failing for binary data. Took me quite some time to figure out that this is causing the unexpected behavior I observed. During the process, I read some reference and found nothing. Only some googling after I knew what was going on got me to a page that, among other things, addressed this issue with a laconic "binary read() is expected to work in Lua 5". That was enough to push me over the edge, I left Lua and never looked back, and I'm perfectly happy with that decision. Which only goes to show that there is no silver bullet, no "universally great first programming language", I guess.
