    Twelve years later, if there's still so much misconception about /dev/(u)random, has the man page been fixed? Edit: can't count.

    In all these nostalgic retrospectives, I never read how the zip drive can achieve 100x or more capacity than the floppy. What is the engineering feat that allowed this? There's one…
