Great Read! I have been mulling over the idea of creating a curated list of interesting Programming Stories. Here are some of those which I can remember from top of my head:<p>* 500 Mile Email [<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ibiblio.org&#x2F;harris&#x2F;500milemail.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ibiblio.org&#x2F;harris&#x2F;500milemail.html</a>]<p>* Infinitely Profitable Program [<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;peetm.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;?p=55" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;peetm.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;?p=55</a>]<p>* The PGPi Scanning Project [<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pgpi.org&#x2F;pgpi&#x2F;project&#x2F;scanning&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pgpi.org&#x2F;pgpi&#x2F;project&#x2F;scanning&#x2F;</a>]<p>* DirectX vs OpenGL [<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;programmers.stackexchange.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;88055&#x2F;75581" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;programmers.stackexchange.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;88055&#x2F;75581</a>]<p>Think anyone can contribute?
