One of my design goals for AFL was to make it very simple to use - because there's plenty of fuzzers that work OK when you dial in 50 knobs just right, but fail spectacularly otherwise - basically ensuring that nobody but the author ca

Yeah - you can actually implement surprisingly complex motion by nesting <marquee> tags with different directions, speeds, etc. I posted this long time ago: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/marquee.html

Not long ago, a significant proportion of the scientific establishment - along with a number of celebrities and policymakers - believed that the "population bomb" is an inevitable, imminent, and apocalyptic threat. There was talk
