“Adds support for CSS 3 web fonts”
– Safari 3.1 Update—All your PFR are belong to us!
Unscientific →
Mythbusters annoys the piss out of me, but you’ve got to love the dig at string theory.
“Frink is a practical calculating tool and programming language designed to help...”

Using Uninitialized Memory for Fun and Profit →
Very nice. Check out the original paper for more details.
“Announcement: All online conference proceedings are now freely available to...”
– USENIX - Publications - Proceedings. Excellent news!

– 20-20-hit (Runner-Runner-Rebuy)
“Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against...”

“This isn’t just an innovative approach to software testing and workflow...”
– Ward Cunningham’s Visible Workings
