So I quickly did a back-of-envelope calculation using [0] for source of mass and diameter of the universe. Then I used the formula given in [1]: r = (2 G M) / (c^2). You have: (2 * G * 1.5 * 10^56 grams ) / (c^2) You wan

And then there was Active Desktop. I remember setting an HTML file as desktop wallpaper, so I could have an animated wallpaper. :) (Why I wanted my wallpaper to visually distract me at every step is beyond me today, but I had fun.)

You could build a playground internet with some VPN-connected boxes which talk BGP and route 10.0.0.0/8 between them. It's a lot of work, but a friend of mine started such a thing and I have learned _so much_ about networking on l

If you dig into the version history of Angband[0] you will find that it was derived from the Moria[1] code, which was released in 1983. So depending on what your concept of "origin" is it might or might not be older. [0] http:&#x

Maybe I'm punching in the screw with only my hammer here, but what's wrong with combining block- and flow style in YAML? --- columns: [id, name, age] data: - [1, "Alice", 27] - [2, "Bob", 26]
