# I wonder if
there any programs that play a proper tune when used in a pianola.

# so you are asking:
given the set of all programs P, and the set of all songs S, is the intersection P ∩ S non-empty?

I think that we can assume that this is true.

Now, define a 'musical pseudo-quine' as a program that prints out the text of the song that can be played to the tune made by its source; can such a program exist?

# Any programming language without line numbers is just wrong in my opinion
I mean, without line numbers, how would you know where you are? Anarchy I tell you. Guesswork at best.

Don't even get me started on subroutines. If I want to go to another piece of a program, I'll damn well goto it (using the line number of course). Returning back to where you came from is for homing pigeons and boomerangs.

# A temp agency once put me up for a job with "00 programming skills."
I went to the interview, the pay on offer was staggeringly good.

"Where's the catch?", I was wondering.

They wanted OO programming skills.

That's true. I'd put a tie on and everything.

Happened all too often back in the day.

# Exactly. As ultimately that's what the machine code is doing.
However, it is fair to use a bit of memory to store a list
of returning destinations... in a stack or the like. Name it,
"GoStack" or even "GoSub", if you wish. Perhaps with some
meta data attached for convenience. You could look at it
in other parts of the code to see what was its objective.
Even copy that, and to attach to new bits of code. [/;-D

# And "LET". What was wrong with that?
a=b? what does that mean? What if a doesn't equal b? Now , "LET a=b", there's some proper manners. Come to that, more languages should have a PLEASE keyword And A THANKYOU would be nice too.

10 GOOD MORNING
20 PLEASE PRINT "Heloo b3ta"
30 PLEASE GOTO 50
50 THANKYOU
60 GOOD DAY

The closest to this level of sophistication so far is LOLCODE with its KTHXBYE command. Unfortunately, it doesn't have line numbers and is therefore shit.

# LOLCode is lots of fun, yes.
Most unstructured Basics will "LET" and you can use
numeric Labels all over, even down to a line's worth.

I like COBOL for the politest form. No assumptions!
If you did not state it exactly, it does not get in the
final code stream, period. Lacks a "Thank you" tho--LOL.

If you have several images to post, either do them all in the same thread or wait a while and do them later.

There's a finite amount of threads on the board (15 I think) and every new one pushes an old one off.

# I've never understood the mindset that feels that's appropriate
In fact I pointed out the FAQ says that picture should be made as small as possible rather than under the limit. I did this simply by saving a 49.5kb jpg with two colours as a gif, (it became about 5kb).

I truly believe that the point I made was not understood. Even though I explained it with pictures.
