IlohaBlog: Testing the archiving feature....

...and it works!

Al Bawaba is reporting that former Iraqi Information Minister Al-Sahaf committed suicide moments before Baghdad fell.

C'mon... this is MSS. If he really were dead, he'd stand in front of his own dead body and tell the world media that he was in fact live and kickin'.

There's an article on Scientific American about parallel universes. In its explanation, the article says:

The estimate is derived from elementary probability and does not even assume speculative modern physics, merely that space is infinite (or at least sufficiently large) in size and almost uniformly filled with matter, as observations indicate. In infinite space, even the most unlikely events must take place somewhere.

You know, I used to wonder about that. Not parallel universes, but that whole "infinite" thing. Like when they taught me that pi went on inifinitely, I asked my math teacher "Does that mean pi contains all of Shakespeare's works somewhere?" I'm not sure if he answered the question, but a few years later, I read about a similar question: If pi is really infinite, does it contain itself -and everything else? Does it contain the entire human genome? Some codification of reality? If that's the case, is pi really a number of its own, or is it just a segment in a sequence of data that we refer to as reality? Then that would mean reality is just data... Great, I just proved that we all merely exist inside some massive data storage device (so what am I, a pointer?).

On a semi-related note, nobody has yet been able to answer one of my long time questions: How does luck work?

Today's the second day using Safari Beta 2 as my main browser, and some thoughts thus far:

• Never liked tabs, still don't. But I've been using tabs anyway, and it works just as well as it does on Camino. In fact, maybe even a little better...
• Some of the problems I saw with Beta 1 haven't manifested themselves yet. Namely, no caching issues, no problems with JavaScript's close() function not working (yes I did file bug reports for those -maybe they listened).
• Popup blocking works well... but that's always been the case.
• Google search box in tool bar is awesome

It's still a little early to say, but maybe.... just maybe, I've found true love.
