Hawaiian Fun Stuff!

I found it really interesting to read Christopher Tolkien's History of Middle Earth, whaere he ran thoruogh all his father's rough drafts to tell the story of the evolution if LOTR.

Yeah, it was really interesting to see that certain scenes were word-for-word from the first draft, but in a completely different place. I especially liked the "story seen from here" parts.

Technically, it says:

Shelob was gone; and whether she lay long in her lair, nursing her malice and her misery, and in slow years of darkness healed herself from withing, rebuilding her clustered eyes, until with hunger like death she spun once more her dreadful snares in the glens of the Mountains of Shadow, this tale does not tell.

Don't children do certain jobs anyway, like harvesting and hauling?

If toady is so worried about his code that he doesn't release the raws, can't he copyright something so noone can duplicate it?

He's not worried about releasing the raws, but I assume you mean source code. Since he lives on DF, he wants to make sure that he's the prime mover of all that is used. Copyright alone wouldn't prevent forking, and at this time it would be more hassle than it's worth.

Can't a profiler be run against the code even if we don't have the source? If we can identify a portion of the code that is taking a long time, we can poke it with a stick, even if we don't know what it is.
