	Mort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mort is a Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett and also the name of its main character.

		Mort is the second novel to feature Ysabell (she was introduced in The Light Fantastic) and introduces Death's manservant Albert.

		Mort's programs tend to be straightforward procedural manipulation of object models and strings, with a few loops and subroutines thrown in here and there.

		Mort's the brainchild of Motorola Fellows Manish Tuteja and R. Dunbar Poor, and PhD candidate John Underkoffler, working with assistant professor Michael Hawley and the Media Lab's Things That Think consortium.
		"Mort is a far cry from toys that blurt out a few short phrases by pulling a string on their backs," says Hawley.
		In many ways Mort represents a sneak preview of the world of Things That Think, where even the most commonplace objects are invisibly woven into the global digital fabric -- where everyday things can potentially send bits reverberating throughout the Net, no strings attached.

	Whyaduck Productions, Inc. -- Mort Sahl: The Loyal Opposition
		When Mort was confronted by Democrats saying, “We thought you’d be happy now,” his stock response was, “Hey, you didn’t have to do it for me.” (For the record, Mort was an Adlai Stevenson man, but came to like JFK and became a friend of his, occasionally writing for him.)
		Mort started to read some of the more ludicrous passages of the Warren Report in his act and many accused him of “not being funny anymore.” The problem may have been that the nation lost its sense of humor, not Mort.
		And for those of you who wrote Mort off for “going to the right” because he’s so hard on the liberals, I remind you that you don’t have to be coming from the right to goad today’s liberals.

	Rockford Lhotka - More on Mort and the future of languages
		Because so many Morts went from VB to C# and they voted very loudly and publicly to get eandc put into their new adopted language.
		You are outnumbered 5 to 1, and if Mort comes a-calling you will almost instantly lose control of C# and you'll probably feel like you need a new home.
		To paraphrase her view, Mort can have VB or C# or both, because the real geeks (the Elvis/Einstein types) can and will just go back to C++ and be happy.

		Mort, the opportunistic developer, likes to create quick-working solutions for immediate problems and focuses on productivity and learn as needed.
		Mort would be a developer most comfortable and satisfied if the control could be used as-is and it just worked.
		I think courses aimed at Mort would be pointless (because they could probably work it out pretty quickly anyway, or just not bother), and Einstein would want a 1 to 1 customised course, with specific content targeted to his particular needs.
