I'm pretty sure the author of that book actually wrote a lot of the Antimemetics SCP posts in the first place. It's certainly up their alley.

Microsoft just forced all of their office suite file extensions to look at their MS Office... which I don't (shouldn't) have installed. I happily use LibreOffice. But suddenly things are going to different apps! User Friendly, as

Oh man. I remember this as it was coming out. It was certainly a wild ride... I was in high school at the time and didn't know how to react to the whole protest thing. I remember I played the heck out of the demo that he released for t

I used vidir yesterday for something that would have been more annoying with other tools - if you swap the numbers at the beginning of the line, then you'll safely swap the file contents. Useful if your TV episodes are named the wrong

I once spent an hour trying to solve a sudoku puzzle on a whiteboard in college. It turned out that the person who left it there made a mistake when they started to solve it, so given the state it was in when I started (no way to tell what
