Hi Moonglum,
great article again - this time I didn't find any nits.
Just a suggestion (which you could just as well ignore completely) - in the 'Intelligence' part it could possibly stated that up to this date, computers could do just the things that they are being told (and they do EXACTLY what they're told and nothing else), but not the things that are intended by the programmer. So to say, today's computers are not intelligent enough to make their own faults - they have to rely on humans for this.

Wow! Nothing wrong at all. Are you sure? Me? With my reputation!
I'll definitely have a think on that one. This is certainly the problem that programmers face. The bloody mindedness of machines.
Thanks, I'll let you know.
Cheers
