Some of the stuff, yes. All of the stuff? Next to impossible.

I've been online "only" for about 13 years. Most of these years I posted on the mailing lists of a local Linux community. In time I ended up the administrator of the services and mailing lists, and I've tried for years to gather a complete archive of all the emails, a task that has so far proven impossible ( a couple of server crashes and upgrades, nobody with such an extensive personal email archive, so on). Bits and pieces are still there (one of the lists was archived on mail-archive.com for a while, other things have been cross-posted, so on).

So yeah, there are a lot of stupid (and some smart) things that I said out there, but I'm absolutely positive I can't gather everything, as much as I'd try.

Come on, at least try to read the whole phrase before moaning. It says it would revolutionize our views on Meditations on First Philosophy. It's not the digital age, it's the Twitter age :-(

Well, kill-ing with SIGCHLD the zombie parents is more efficient and elegant, usually. The first rule of kill -9 is that you should not use kill -9 in the first place.

Maybe it's because I'm not a native English speaker, but this sounds very much like redundancy (I think the correct grammatical term is "tautology"), probably induced by some so-called SEO expert: "screw common sense, just toss in the keyword 'video' as much as possible".

I'd like to point out that long before xkcd there was userfriendly, and that in my circle we still like to and this sort of joke by saying "magnets" and giggle. The "Edward Lorenz, the butterfly and the chaos theory" punchline seems a bit forced (unless you go for the 'M-x butterfly' twist to make the emacs guy get the attention ;) )

Actually a mirror doesn't add any information, it just reflects photons :) So even for perfect parallel mirrors, at best you'll be able to trap photons that move perfectly perpendicular to them (and keep for a finite period of time others which are close). IMO the only possible perfect simulation of the Universe that would be contained in it is the Universe itself, anything other would have less entropy by definition so it won't be a perfect simulation. Going to RTFA now, because the first part actually seems to be interesting.

I think his point was "... and most likely, neither do you, so quit acting like you do".

Because unlike the rest of the options they are kickass bastards that command whole armies.

Zombies and mummies are mere henchmen usually, while vampires and werewolves usually hide from the world in remote castles, caves or abandoned houses.

Necromancers are somewhat better, but still no match for ringwraiths who are basically royalty.

Haven't heard of demon penguins before (which probably means they are in the zombie+mummy category of lesser beings).
