Back by irregular demand, I fetch the best IRC quotes from bash.org for you kids. IRC, for you youngsters out there, is like a social network only live and anti-social.

Waits' Bad As Me at a first glance

Chomsky on 'Newton's contribution to the study of mind'
I just attended Noam Chomsky‘s first appearance at the University of Oslo, today’s topic was Newton and the mechanical world-view, Chomsky’s critique of the concept of limitless explanatory power introduced by the mechanical world-view (Newton), presented at the Center for the Study of Mind in Nature. It’s quite apparent that the CSMN did not anticipate […]
