I heard an interview with Brendan Eich from last year where he says there are still many javascript optimizations that haven't been attacked yet, that there is still a lot of low-hanging fruit. He also predicted speeds bordering on C within

The chessboard has rotational symmetry: if you turn it 180 degrees it is the same. Would not all tours be invariant under 180 degree rotation? EDIT: Sorry, I understand now. If the knight's tour ends directly opposite it's starting position

That interface... it's so fluent. I love javascript, for just the reason that it's possible to have beautiful interfaces like this. Date.today().add(3).days(); Be even better if it let you leave off the brackets like ruby, but oh well.

Wow, needs to trim down the list a little bit. 3 feed readers? 3 different boot CDs? 5 different launchers? Powershell, cygwin, and grep and tail replacements 'BareGrep' and 'BareTail'? How many of these does he actually use?

But... in even the 'best' situations, half the urinals are going unused! I wonder if putting up a small wall between each urinal would be a good idea?

The Eqyptian pyramids were clearly 'a place of honor', made with a perfect shape, and certainly infused with riches galore. They're trying to convey the exact opposite here.

Putty, with a cygwin patch. Works fine, only gripe with it is I can't press Windows+Left and have it take up the left half of the screen. It just refuses to resize. The windows terminal is just horrible. I tried Console2 but it was buggy as
