In Outlook: I have a rule to filter all mail I expect to be important (e.g. from my leaders; addressed directly to me, certain keywords in the subject) to an "Attention" folder which I use as my default. Anything else, known, that doesn't usually need attention (automated reports, marketing etc.) is auto-filed.
This allows me to concentrate on "Attention" (named to sort to the top) and have Inbox for things I should check on sometime.
When searching is necessary I use an external tool X1 which auto-indexes mail and files. I don't know how it stacks up against competitors ( I hear good things about Xobni ) but it works fine. Often though it's simplest to go directly to the folder but with auto-archiving enabled that gets annoying for anything but recent mails.
Joonas & Paul are both Corewar veterans being respectively co-authors of Son of Vain (Joonas P & Ian Oversby) top of the all-time hall-of-fame and nPaper II (Paul V-K & John Metcalf) dominant paper of its time.
Good practice for writing obscure, but useful, code.
I'd give clickable links but fear for these sites under load.
I agree with your point in general but evolved warriors are having increasing success in Corewars of late and similar strides can be expected in Gridwars.
Even more impressive an evolved "paper" (self-replicating warrior) made the premier 94nop hill this year albeit with the help of a human coded quickscan.
There's more info re evolving to be had at the Wiki.
The "Pizza" corewar server you link to has long been superceded by the "Pro" (in particular 94nop) hills at KOTH and the beginner (amongst others) Redcode hills
The Winner of the Mega Gridwars 2, Robert Macrae, is one of the Corewar greats.
An example of one of his warriors is Phantasm

Use a transparent post-it (or pref. an open-shtick alternative) so you don't have to move it everytime you need full-screen. An added plus is reduced risk from trash divers as each note will last longer.
For extra security use black ink and turn the lights down a bit.

Really? You know that for certain or you just mean that they failed to prove, or couldn't be bothered to prove, it to you?
The corewars site linked to in the story has never been known to be active or complete.
The KOTH server is home to the "pro" hills of which 94NOP is the most active.
The most up-to-date site for info & links is Fizmo's.
There are beginner's hills and others at
SAL hills
Yellow hills
There's also an IRC channel at irc://irc.koth.org#corewars
Ant wars looks interesting - pity the event is over
I agree with your point in general but evolved warriors are having increasing success in Corewars of late and similar strides can be expected in Gridwars.
For example a recent Redcoder Frenzy round was won by this warrior Wild Equilibria by Dave Hillis.
No, it's not pretty.
