    I just realized I infringed an author's copyright the other day. I was reading a book, thus copying its content from the paper it was printed on through my eyes into my brain. I just hope he doesn't find out, or he'll sue the hell out of me.

    In fact it's because molasses are cheaper than sugar overall, not just the shipping. Molasses are a byproduct of sugar manufacturing.

  23. Re:Common theme: get a REAL expert on Stupid Engineering Mistakes · · Score: 1

    - a radiotherapy machine, using lead blocks to cover the parts of the patient that shouldn't be irradiated, had a problem using more than IIRC 4 lead blocks. So a doctor takes it upon himself to hack it to use non-rectangular blocks to the same end. The result: the program mis-calculates and some people are given a lethal dose of radiation.

    Actually, no. It was a pure programming error - a variable was cycling through zero when it should have been always non-zero, and that was confusing the machine.
