My parser generator can generate LL(1) parsers that run entirely in SQL(92) stored procedures.
So you can parse documents in RDBMS databases as normalized entities.
I generated it because I'm in a mood. I'll be removing it before I post an update.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Yup, one of my favorite lines in Star Trek VI, The Undiscovered Country:
Quote: Let us redefine progress to mean that just because we can do a thing, it does not necessarily mean we must do that thing.

I like that line too. I wish more companies and governments would adhere to it.

if I'm trying to feed C# programs into my SQL database for parsing, I've got bigger problems than analysis paralysis.

Sure, but what about Turing Machines?

I mean, that's what i'm doing in a sense, is it not? What is C# if not a tool for building a subset of possible turing machines?

I've temporarily inherited a pair of small dogs (a Jack Russel and a Pug cross) for two weeks while the owners are on holiday, and begun my introduction to dog ownership.
Cats are better.
A cat when presented with food will eat what it needs, and leave the rest for later. A dog on the other hand scarfs down everything it can see, throws it back up,and then eats it again.
When a cat goes for a walk, it decides where to go, and manages both to go on it's own and get back (probably to have a soupçon more breakfast.
Dogs, on the other hand have to be accompanied, while the walker is laden down with a Scammell Truck's worth of pooh bags.
And dogs can't just walk. Oh no! they have to stop every thirty damn seconds to check FaceBark, update Twigger, ... and the less said about PooTube the better ...
Actually no, let's talk about animals and PooTube. Cats are discrete about it - they dig a hole, do what they have to, bury it, and stroll away. Not so these two: hop along for a few dozen feet squeezing it out so you have to follow round picking up lumps over a distance. And if you miss one, the other dog will assume that it is an hors d'oeuvre ... So now you have a lead, two dogs, and a thin bag of smelly biohazard to cart about. And then the other one visits PooTube. 
Why do you have them, folks? Cats are so much nicer.

Isn't that what his cat would say? If cats would not treat even such dog substitutes as opponents, both would already rest in peace in a small covered up hole in the neighbor's garden.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

 So well Written - so evocative; conjuring up familiar images - so accurate.
I've often describes the smaller representatives of the canine vermin as cat-food-on-the-hoof.
You did manage to leave out their penchant for humping strangers legs.

For some reason your post reminded me of General Melchett and his speech on poopoo.

You're lucky, I had a Great Dane, they don't just poo they emit a lump big enough it would take several bags to encas it all!
I do all my own stunts, but never intentionally!

Your assertion is wrong. I don't feel the need to go into details as to why.

When I married my present wife I inherited two teenagers and a cat. The teenagers I could just about deal with, the cat was hell on four legs. Gave it a litter tray which it decided was for other people. Tried to get it to use the garden as toilet, but it refused to go outside. Gave it a scratching pole, but it thought the furniture worked much better. Gave it a bed to sleep on but it preferred my face. Eventually got fed up of clearing up the poo every morning so we rehoused it with the RSPCA, whence it came.

Amen.
I do not own the animals in my house (two cats, a collie, and a parakeet). I have made it clear: I do not do litter boxes. I do not clean up poo (exception). If an animal begins to regularly relieve itself in the wrong location, it will be gone.
Exception: Collie is wife's dog. I like wife, so I tolerate collie a little more than the cats.

Dogs have owners.
Cats have staff.
I once had both species in the same house:
The Irish setter was happy, loyal, house trained and obedient. Enjoyed running on the beach and playing frisbee.
The monster moggie beat up the Irish Setter whenever she felt like it, used the cat litter box to poop in and then spread it (the poop and the sticky litter granules) around in what she obviously thought was a political message to us human slaves. She shredded the expensive velvet curtains, the expensive couch and several coats left hanging on the coat-stand in the foyer - all while ignoring a series of increasingly expensive and complex cat-scratching posts provided for the purpose. She also refused to go outside except on the sunniest days when she finally deigned to use the cat door to go out and lie on the concrete back porch in a sunny spot and then apparently not move for several hours. A field mouse once ran up to her while in this sunny spot and curled up to sleep next to her. She woke up, picked it up by it's tail and dumped it back on the grass, then returning to her sleeping spot. A real meanie - only tolerated because she would occasionally curl up and sleep in the lap of she who must be obeyed.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Dogs are for people who need to be worshiped as Gods.
Cats are for people who are strong enough to have a God stand on their chest at 5 AM demanding a sacrifice.

You hit the nail on the head.

Hang on isn't your cat the one that changes food preference every month or so, wanders across your keyboard and barfs up giant hairballs?
We recently looked after our son's cat, it spent the first 2 days behind the fridge only venturing out to feed (approx 50% of the recommended volume so the rest was wasted), crap in the litter tray and spread it around the bathroom. It never came near anyone let alone purr or strop, cantankerous bloody thing, it felt like we had a particularly sullen teenager in the house.

People who like/love dogs: they can't help it ... it's in their genes: [^].Quote: A team of Swedish and British scientists have studied the heritability of dog ownership using information from 35,035 twin pairs from the Swedish Twin Registry. The new study suggests that genetic variation explains more than half of the variation in dog ownership, implying that the choice of getting a dog is heavily influenced by an individual's genetic make-up.
People who like/love cats: it's in their souls.
I admit I love dogs, but have never wanted to own one; I love cats, and have been privileged to be deemed worthy of being a slave/servant to several in the past.
