I believe that this task implicitly assumes that a single line will always be small enough to be kept in memory? If so, I think that this assumption should be explicitly stated. (It sounds silly, but it can turn into a real issue.) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 20:19, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
: Choosing a random item from a sequence of unknown length has its uses other than reading files. Actually since the task doesn't ask anyone to read a file anyway, shouldn't it be named something else like, er, "Choosing a random item from a sequence of unknown length"? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 20:36, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
