I did like seeing the FAQ become more and more deranged the further I scrolled! I'll perhaps be the first to jump on the 1/0 != 0 hate train though; they mention they designed the stdlib to avoid the partial-function pitfalls of H

Perhaps the most impressive feat I've seen out of 2B2T was an exploit called "Nocom". It began with 2B2T being hit with a lag exploit, then that exploit being fixed in a 3-line patch - that patch subtly introduced another exp

"Ton[ne]" is pretty overloaded as units go. * metric ton; 1000kg * short ton; 907kg * long ton; 1016kg not to mention its use as a measure of volume and power.
