Krahulik, 29, didn't set out to be a Web cartoonist. In 1998 he and his collaborator, Jerry Holkins, created Penny Arcade to enter a contest run by a video-game magazine. They lost. "Eventually we sent them so many that they told us to stop," says Holkins, 31. "So then we basically just started publishing them online. Typically the route is to go to a syndicate and negotiate for visiting rights to your work. We knew there was no way that was ever going to happen with Penny Arcade." Now their strip, which stars two young...
Before computing pioneer John Backus and his team at IBM developed Fortran, the first widely used programming language, in the 1950s, computers had to be "hand coded" in wonky strings of digits in order to perform basic functions. Backus' invention allowed programmers to enter human-friendly instructions that computers would then translate on their own. The unprecedented "high level" system, which Backus said was inspired by "being lazy," paved the way for modern software...
...There's still time for another high-profile candidate to enter the race, perhaps lieutenant governor Mitch Landrieu, a Democrat and younger brother of U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu. He lost a bid to replace New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin last year.

And while many of those voters, mostly African-American, have resettled elsewhere in Louisiana, the dispersal will make it harder for Democrats to cobble together the coalition of black and Cajun votes that have traditionally helped them...
...race should not be the uniting factor around which we join organizations. One biracial student, who wished to remain anonymous, said, “I just don’t feel like my race has ever been enough of anything to be the sole reason for why I would enter into a community.” The Crimson granted the student anonymity because revealing her identity would compromise her relationsihps with members of cultural organizations. This student has chosen not to take part in her racial community, but she questions the role cultural organizations have on this campus...
...uncreative and unfunny t-shirts will confirm the spirit-crushing squalor of house life on Thursday morning. The worse thing about your future house is that your blockmates will be there too, leaving you pining for your old psycho-single in Hurlbut. Trust us; you are more likely to enter a meaningful relationship with someone through a pregnancy scare than a blocking group. And you are more likely to have a pregnancy scare by going to your professor’s office hours than by going out on a Friday night. Though we profess mastery in most areas of life...
