NASA SEL Online

NASA has put its entire Software Engineering Library online. Nice!
For those who don’t know: NASA writes some of the highest-quality software in the world, with a bugs/lines of code ratio unheard of in commercial software (Mars lander notwithstanding).

One-line movie review: Steal (aka Riders)

Mark Ezra: Worst. Script. Ever.

The 10.3 Finder is pissing me off
