Knuth Plans 'Earthshaking Announcement' Wednesday

Posted by kdawson on from the perhaps-metafont-ported-to dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Donald Knuth is planning to make an 'earthshaking announcement' on Wednesday, at TeX's 32nd Anniversary Celebration, on the final day of the TUG 2010 Conference. Unfortunately, nobody seems to know what it is. So far speculation ranges from proving P!=NP, to a new volume of The Art of Computer Programming, to his retirement. Maybe Duke Nukem Forever has been ported to MMIX?" Let the speculation begin.

    Mods might be handing out "Insightful" mods for the karma boost.

    I wish they'd stop and go back to modding correctly. That useless karma boost changes the tone of the post.
