Why the hell does everyone think this guy's site is funny? I thought it was the fucking lamest thing I'd seen on the web in a long time. And its not even 'funny lame', its just plain 'lame lame'. I even saw someplace that wrote an entire article about it. Must have been a slow day in the idiot wing of the office... -Mindcrym
That's exactly why I think the human species has ceased to evolve. 10,000 years from now (if our species survices that long) this is going to fuel the Creationists' opinions; "If evolution exists then why haven't we changed in the past 10,000 years?" While I think its great that we're finding cures for diseases and we have all sorts of medical treatments, I think it has essentially stopped human evolution. Nature would (should?) have killed off a whole lot of people if we didn't have the medical technology that we do. Is this bad? Guess we'll have to wait 10,000 years to find out.
This is not on topic but I wanted to post anyway because people are always commenting on how the Hummer is a "scaled down" version of the Humvee. This is plain wrong. Even though Slashdot has a link to www.hummer.com they failed to actually read the site: "The civilian Hummer has the same basic design and components as the Humvee military truck. Many creature comforts have been added to make the Hummer the world's most serious 4x4 vehicle." (Bold text by me.) So as you can see, if anything, the Hummer is a scaled up version of the Humvee. And yes, I am somewhat torqued by this because I actually do own a Hummer. Just needed to rant. No, I haven't tried driving over a laptop with it. Thanks, -Mindcrym

Yes.
Check out the article Introduction To and Experiences With Mac Cocoa from Kuro5hin.

No, what you're talking about is a "kludge."
