Really the Terminator never even had a chance

In the eternal battle between human minds and computers, chalk one up for our brains.
Proof: if asked to name the first n prime numbers, we can just sit there and list them without too much trouble until n gets to be too large. In contrast if you wanted a computer to do the same thing you'd first have to devote some serious time into writing out the steps you use instinctively and then translate those into commands and loops the computer will understand.

In unrelated news I'd like to thank C++ for giving me blogging material.
