Hey, someone submitted my old article. On my birthday!

Oh, people hate it… and even someone I definitely look up to.

You‘re absolutely right, though, I don‘t remember it being that bad, and probably I just read over it when resurrecting the article, because I‘m so familiar with every word.

I‘ll slap some <hr> tags on it when I‘m back home from my holiday.

If it helps, it used to look like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20140309183752/http://www.2uo.de...

Definitely a lot more readable! Something must have changed in the meantime.

It looks like some links have gone too, like the one in the sentence "how does /dev/random know how much entropy there is available to give out?"

Way better.

I hate it when updates, migrations or cosmic radiation break fidelity.

Label the myths rather than leaving them as plain statements.
Yes. It should look like:

    Myth: the moon is made of green cheese.   
    Fact: the moon is made of yellow and green cheese.
Most importantly -- Happy birthday!!!
Happy birthday!

This'll all wait for later, hope you're enjoying a nice mai tai on your holiday.
