Neat stuff of the day

Via Madville: "At least back then, people knew how to make their own fun."

Also via Madville, A funky theory about what caused the plagues in Egypt. As a Christian, I'm not opposed at all to this kind of reasoning. God often uses natural phenomena to work his miracles. The star of Bethlehem is thought to have been a super-nova, for example.

The first Spaces alpha has been released. Now I have to download the 1.4 version of the JRE.

Obfustication

New features in Visual C++.Net:

I have not been able to throw any Standard C++ at it that it couldn't compile and handle correctly yet. Very heavy users of advanced Standard C++ features, particuarly templates like Loki, Boost and Blitz now compile 100%!

Last, but certainly not least, there is now a Form Designer for Managed C++! You will be able to do everything you do with the C# or VB designer. You can visually design forms and work with Managed C++.

Very cool.

"Eeeexcellent. Smithers, fetch me my carrier battle group.". Very funny comments. Well, at least to start with... then things get more serious. But in scarier and more maddening news... yet another scary thing that exists in the world because of the old Soviet Union's incredibly lax and irresponsible handling of nuclear technology.

In much much happier news, a funny interview with Emma Watson:

But she did tell CBBC's Newsround that some people at her school give her stick about the film.

She said: "They walk past and go 'Wingardium Leviosa' for the billionth time that day, and I go aaagggghhhhhh!

There's a video and everything, which I watched until they started showing scenes from the movie (which I refuse to have spoiled for me!). Via The Leaky Cauldron.

Via WHEDONesque, a transcript of an AOL chat session with Joss Whedon. Very cool, and the spoiler sections are very nicely hidden unless you want them.
