The New Yorker recently ran an interesting article on neuroscientist David Eagleman.

In my last blog post I talked about how the 2011.1 server is going to be able to propagate moves (aka renames) via integrate and resolve, and we got a peek at how 'p4 resolve' is going to be able to handle changes other than those made to content. Today I'll talk a bit about filetypes.
