It's because many more people are vaccinated. Assume 100,000 people are vaccinated and 10,000 aren't. If the infection rate in vaccinated population is 5%, and in the unvaccinated population is 50%, then out of 10,000 infected people, 5,000 will be vaccinated and 5,000 won't.
It's a gated community - if you place the Streetview pointer on Lake Worth Rd, you can even see the gates.
Just like bash.
zavulon was joking. It's an old Slashdot meme: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot#Culture
Since they're both AOL properties, I bet something's wonky with their reverse proxy/load balancer.

I'm fine with this being reposted every month or so. In fact, I wouldn't mind if it were pinned to the top of the page.

I think you've got it right there. A cursory search of Wikipedia shows parodies may fall under fair use, never mind the copyright notice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody#Copyright_issues
> I tried it in Emacs. Your definition of correct does not agree with mine.
Yes it does. In Emacs, with a proportional font, if I'm on the 10th character of a line and press "up", I do not necessarily move to the 10th character of the previous line. I move to the character visually above the current one.
Sorry it doesn't work for you - we must have differing Emacs setups. I'm using Emacs 23 in GUI mode.
Also, I'm a big fan of Haskell in general, but sometimes when I'm coding I think its whitespace is a bit too significant.
Scintilla-based editors, GTKsourceview-based editors (I just tried with Scite and Gedit) and Emacs all correctly position the cursor when using the arrow keys and proportional fonts.
As for lining up similar constructs, I mostly code in Python, and the PEP 8 style guidelines explicitly forbid that.
When I hit "Return", it duplicates the current line's leading whitespace on the next line. That will still work perfectly with a proportional font. When I hit "cursor-down", most text editors that allow proportional fonts know how to put the cursor where it visually belongs.
I really tried to use proportional fonts for coding, but the kicker for me was selecting text with the mouse (or trackpad). I find it easier to position the pointer when all the letters are the same width. "i"s and "l"s are especially tricky to select accurately with a proportional font.
If only. He's like this all the time. And he tied scarves around his monitor stand. And he brought in a fog machine.
So, if the number modulo 13 is 0, a taunt, "Maybe you could try drawing something," shows up. Any other easter eggs?
