also lack of specifice knowledge is no indicator of ability in any one..the possesion of or the lack of.
people caught up in the social pincer that is america are pressed immedialey with survival concerns. american is a massive situation, any subsection of which demands focus in order to survive, by those alive in it.
the sense I get of those people who answer the guy behind the Mike is that deh are not paying atention to things they are remined they shud know by the questions themselves.
none of dem looked mentally infirm or incompetent. it would tak an hour or so for them to learn all deh shud if it became necessary.
the guy behind the mike knows this too. he has been making work for himself dats all
...pandering for popularty

The Turing Award, in full The ACM A.M. Turing Award, is an annual award given by the
Association for Computing Machinery
(ACM) to "an individual selected for contributions of a technical nature made to the computing community. The contributions should be of lasting and major technical importance to the computer field".

He is one of the principal proponents of the science and art of programming languages in general, and has greatly contributed to our understanding of their structure, representation, and implementation. His fifteen years of publications extend from theoretical articles on graph theory to basic manuals, expository texts, and philosophical contemplations in the field of programming languages |

Shaw at the RAND Corporation , and subsequentially with numerous faculty and student colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University , they have made basic contributions to artificial intelligence, the psychology of human cognition, and list processing |
| 1976 |
| For their joint paper "Finite Automata and Their Decision Problem," which introduced the idea of nondeterministic machines , which has proved to be an enormously valuable concept. Their (Scott & Rabin) classic paper has been a continuous source of inspiration for subsequent work in this field |

| For profound, influential, and lasting contributions to the design of practical high-level programming systems, notably through his work on FORTRAN , and for seminal publication of formal procedures for the specification of programming languages |
| 1978 |
| For having a clear influence on methodologies for the creation of efficient and reliable software, and for helping to found the following important subfields of computer science : the theory of parsing , the semantics of programming languages, automatic program verification , automatic program synthesis , and analysis of algorithms |
| 1979 |
| For his pioneering effort in programming languages and mathematical notation resulting in what the computing field now knows as APL , for his contributions to the implementation of interactive systems, to educational uses of APL, and to programming language theory and practice |
