Can you think of some real life projects which cannot be programmed ?

[ithelp]

No it is not my homework / project assignment .

[jwenting]

accurate weather forecasting.

Getting people to use code tags on Daniweb :P

getting my kids to be quiet for 5 minutes.

[sarehu]

All of these can be programmed.

OH GOOD! I want a web form with a blank textbox that will allow me to enter a value representing the number of minutes that my children will remain quiet from the time that I submit. Money is no issue if it works, please send me a quote.

Does it work on mothers-in-law too :)

Maybe we can add names to a database and split the cost, ya? I figure we'll make it up by selling people minutes of peace and quiet.

Can you think of a more idiotic question to ask?

[ithelp]

Whatever programs you have written in life , you can not add additional code in the program which can verify the program is 100% correct .

ACCURATE weather forecasting can't be.
There are chaotic forces at work, the effect of which can't be predicted accurately.

Easy, you just need a system built using Windows CE, Windows ME and Windows NT :icon_cheesygrin:

Oh no , there are much easier and practical ways of implementing it , I heard of a prototype sensor which will monitor driver's biological conditions if driver fells asleep while driving it will pinch him , so in simmilar line there could be a whining sensors it will pinch you if you whine continously for 5 minutes .

No, that won't work, my kids are much too smart and would figure out a work around real quick. What they would probably do is whine for 4:50, stop and then start up again. Plus, my 7 yr old would find a way of terrorizing my 4 yr old with it.

Sounds like a nasty hack, I would be considering ousourcing to foster homes.

Really? I can forecast the next 5 minutes of weather with high accuracy.
