Mel Gibson rules

Mel Gibson rules. Check out what he had to say about evolution.

Digital E.T. is stupid!

I'm flipping back and forth between Ghostbusters and E.T. on TV, and I caught some scenes where E.T. has obviously been digitized, and it totally doesn't fit with the rest of the movie. It's stupid. That's the reason why I don't own E.T. You had to buy the super boxed set to get the original version, and I didn't want the altered version.

Unix Application Migration Guide

I've been reading pieces of Microsoft's Unix Application Migration Guide, specifically Chapter 2, Unix and Windows compared, and it's pretty interesting.

Also see Microsoft's Writing POSIX Standard Code from their page on Windows Services for Unix.

State of the Onion

Check out Larry Wall's State of the Onion speech from this year (with slides!). It's characteristically Larry, which is good. I laughed.

Threaded Comments

I've been ambivalent about threaded comments, where each comment has a link that says "reply to this", and if you click on that before posting a comment your comment will be indented and put under that comment. One good example is MozillaZine, but I just came across this post at Piers Cawley's new weblog which seems to be an excellent example of useful comment threading, and it's done within Movable Type (I didn't realize that could be done).

I always figured that people are generally too lazy, or at least not observant enough, to click on the "reply to this" link a large enough percentage of the time to be useful. I wonder...

And click on that post from Piers Cawley, it's worth reading besides the interesting comment threading Smiley winking

I *want* this shirt
