Off-topic, but I can't let this go--didn't Alan Turing actually
demonstrate that there *are* limits to what can be done with
Turing-style computation? e.g., the Halting Problem? Or any other of a
whole slew of undecidable problems?

Agreed that we probably haven't found all the ways that programmers
can screw up, though :)
