    Lisp programmers scare me. Someone mentions a feature that lisp has had for a few years, and invariable some lisp guy comments on how it's the future! switch now! Look at all the babes I attract with my Lisp skillz!

    I always thought one of the reasons for the bulky suits was radiation shielding, which I imagine would be harder to deal with from a wetsuit.

    Yes, I suggest anyone who wants to teach their children this process hop on to Kazaa and download "I'm just a bill" from Schoolhouse Rock... or maybe not..

    question: if child porn is encrypted... is it still child porn? I mean.. as far as you can tell, you're passing around random bits.

    hmm, toast power? do you put in 2 slices of bread, and only get one piece of toast back, the other used for fuel?

    somehow I doubt bread with catch on as a energy source. Think of the distribution problems! bread trucks having accidents and catching fire!

  12. Cursive is a relic on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Cursive writing we developed to make a page written with a quill and ink pen more legible, because picking up the quill to form "print" letters would cause drips and spots all over the page. let it die. I'll limp by when i write on paper by using Grafitti, it's close enough.
