Gigantic Apes Coexisted with Early Humans “A gigantic ape standing 10 feet tall and weighing up to 1,200 pounds lived alongside humans for over a million years, according to a new study. Fortunately for the early humans, the huge primate’s diet consisted mainly of bamboo.”
Gawker Media peeps annoyed with Movable Type Slowness “Ever since I started posting to Lifehacker several times a day, I’ve developed a deep resentment for the software that publishes the site, MovableType. There are days when it takes between 40 and 50 seconds to publish a single post. Fifty seconds probably doesn’t sound like a long time to you, but when you do it a couple of dozen times a day – what with edits and updates – we’re talking about almost half an hour of my life, snatched from me. I’m a perpetual mugging victim.” MT has been in my experience good for sites that don’t update all the time, but bad if you’re constantly rebuilding and adding content. Add to it the license situation and WordPress stands out as the superior alternative.
