... but they're really LONG lines ...

A few days ago, I read an article in Wired Magazine (June 2002), about Steven Wolfram (the smart guy that created the Mathematica software). His book should be available in a few months. Lots of paper. The article had one of those big excerpts, that read

Wolfram predicts an algorithmic key to the universe that can compute quantum physics -- or, say, reality TV -- in four lines of code.
Must be really long lines ... of Perl or APL.
