From Knuth's letter: P. S. I'm sending copies of this letter to several friends who are interested in journal publishing but are not members of our board. But this is not an "open letter"; I would prefer not to have my remarks circulated widely.
Is that the reason why it is on/. ?
The letter has some very good comments and observations that every researcher must ponder...
Just out of curiosity... It is said that when you move form one level in food chain to next, only 10% of energy is tranferred. (For e.g. if a cow eats 100 Joules worth of grass, then human who eat cow get 10 Joules from those 100 J ). Taking this 10% efficiency rule in to account, would it not be better if we invested in obtaining power from plants rather than from animal's flesh? Am I missing something here?

Yummy, he has given out his root passwd in one of the images. It is ******. Let's go hack his machine. :p
What do you get when thousands of Dilbert readers put their minds together and design a house?

Looks like it is time to change Slashdot's Science section icon !
A misleading article summary on /.? I'm shocked and appalled!
You are new here, aren't you? Oops, look at that 5-digit account number...:)

Ctrl+Alt+Del is the fastest way to reboot :)
I do not see "slashdotcoward" in the list. Looks like it is a strong passwd. Isn't that the login and passwd used by Anonymous Coward for NY times?
Ideally no one would have noticed until tomorrow, when the official announcement will go out..
/., did they?
They did not think about
... how much do you spend to get a dollar-worth of gold/other metals to grow on a tree. The article does not say that.
... the rover experiments were indeed faked on earth. What more evidence do you want? ;)
.. do not have a PDA/Cell phone, you insensitive clod. Oh wait, this is not a poll...
... you will ask me to pay to post on /. ?
Do you own a Porsche ? ;)
