DailyCaption - Taking Flickr photos out of context
DailyCaption is a new community that takes Flickr photos out of context through caption contests. Each night, a new Flickr photo is generated for members to contribute new captions and rate others. Great way to find out if you are as funny as you think you are.

I am looking for a quote from an article. The quote discussed how the current state of the art in technology usually became the metaphor for how we understand and describe the universe. The article is probably 5-6 years old, but was posted on the web (I probably accessed it through
Arts and Letters Daily).

"In a text with only six favorable outcomes amid some thirty-eight possible conclusions, indeed the reader seems intensely vulnerable – even doomed perhaps – if he were to travel only a single path. The odds, quite simply, are against him."

Is it technically feasible to have a single search page that can search, if so desired, all meta* content at once? Or must I be doomed to a weary life? Searching three things is hard and I need a nap afterwards. Help!

A futuristic robot polices the chaotic streets of a developing nation in this [creepy] spec commercial/corporate video." Quicktime is involved. Also, people who are scared of robots might not want to watch, because there is a robot in this video.

The Art of James Bond
captures the aesthetic of a character Martin Amis called "lonely, melancholic, in some way ravaged... dark and brooding in expression, of a cold or cynical veneer, and above all enigmatic, in possession of a sinister secret." Of course,
the movies are a different story.

Some sort of insanity must have possessed
this guy, making him think he could write a
prequel trilogy to Roger Zelazny's classic
Amber series (ahem, not
this one). Most
reviewers agree--and you can
read for yourself--that it's not very good. All this, and the fact that the
Sci-Fi Channel also has
sinister plans for the property means that there are only one or two nails left to be driven into the coffin of my childhood. Hooray!

David Gonterman is "the Ed Wood of internet cartooning", according to
some. He is a frustrated but relentless artist whose "passion far exceeds his aptitude", and who seems destined for mediocrity and
ridicule everywhere but in the panels of
his own comics, where he treads the earth like a living god -- a misogynistic, racist, and ultimately unintelligible god, yes, but man, he sure
can dance.

For
exceptionally long threads, would it be more CPU-friendly to stop rendering new pages every time someone clicked into the page after a certain point? Say, arbitrarily, 100 posts?
