  1. Re:Literate Programming on Donald Knuth Rips On Unit Tests and More · · Score: 1

    Try Inform 7. Just to show you how literate programming can be, check out these poems that are compilable Inform 7 games.

  2. Who would have thought paleontologists are stupid on Humans Nearly Went Extinct 70,000 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    This is my point exactly. 'Paleontologist Meave Leakey, a Genographic adviser, commented: "Who would have thought that as recently as 70,000 years ago, extremes of climate had reduced our population to such small numbers that we were on the very edge of extinction."' There were successful bands of human relatives all over Europe and Asia, who this one lineage would eventually replace. To imagine that the Earth would be have been depeopled by the extinction of one regionally-isolated subpopulation is idiotic.

    Yep, platinum is for girls--they use Tungsten to cut it. But no worries, atamido: http://trewtungsten.com/remove.php

  4. Are people still really running XP? on Follow-up on EVE's Boot.ini Issue · · Score: 1

    People update their games but not their OS??? What a bunch of babies. It's like, "Oh no, the update crashed my Altair!"

  5. Re:Anybody else on First Look At New Mexico's Space Terminal · · Score: 1

    The fact that New Mexico's Spaceport America needs hundreds of millions of dollars of public funds does not bode well for its competitiveness in the market. I've actually been down to the sight, and I'm excited about it, but as a taxpayer in New Mexico I'm not too happy about having to pay for it while not getting a spaceflight myself.

    Funniest thing I've read in a long time. But you missed:
