Are you seriously trying to claim that GNU run their production servers on Hurd?

Come on, they do some crazy stuff but they're not THAT crazy.

This doesn't seem much smaller than Tom Fine's Atari-Small font (maybe a pixel shorter?). I expanded this font to a full DOS extended ASCII version for my Doom source port.

A while ago, I scanned in a review of Windows 1.0 that I found in an old magazine. It's quite interesting to read - the subtitle is "brightening up MS-DOS", and it is described as taking only four seconds to switch applications, compared to 30 seconds to start Microsoft Word from scratch! Glad to see some things never change.

The question everyone is asking: Will Google Me be as successful as Windows Me?

Wikipedia has this chart of increasing hard disk capacities over time. If the current rate is maintained (factor of 10 increase every 5 years), we may see hellabyte drives in around 70 years!

I for one can't wait to get some of these "smart e-pants".

I've noticed that when I post a new blog entry on Livejournal, it appears in Google's results within 2-3 minutes. I know that Livejournal has a public feed for all new blog entries across the site, so I assume Google must be indexing this (and presumably others).

Neat hack, but the OP specifically mentions binary data ("writing bits ... in a completely controlled fashion", "1s and 0s") :-)
