Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! Edited biographical anecdotes based on taped conversations. If you've enjoyed any of his videos, it's hard to read and not hear his voice telling the stories. I'm about a quarter the wa

They mentioned .Net 3.5, which is ancient by modern programming standards; if I had to guess, the general direction towards generics, dynamic, and functional support? But take that with a huge grain of salt. This post is from a library auth

Don't forget the american chestnut, which was wiped out by a blight at the start of the previous century.

They also have an API that you can use if you're programmatically inclined to automate the process. It does have limits, so be mindful of including delays between requests. http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development

The novel Seveneves brings a similar (actually, far worse) event in a modern environment. Both a fun and nightmarish thought exercise.

A local wine shop near me had hand written notes on their wines. The owner noticed that when the note said "delicious!" it was more likely to be purchased. So now all of the wines are labeled as such. No word on overall sales sinc

I think the one exception is a cup of coffee, which is 6 oz. And to make it more confusing, if mentioned in a recipe, it could actually mean 8 oz!

You can use third party tools for both search (e.g. google site search) and comments (e.g. discus). Of course, if you want to customize things further with user-supplied content, at some point you'll need a dynamic backend.
