Summary:	Molten rock makes volcano glow red, reports CNN. Amazing the things you can learn from the news. Last year we learned that concrete is stronger once it has hardened.

No.

That’s the sunset. I sure can’t see any red on the inside…

Eric, the sun is also made of molten rock which glows red because of the concrete. Inside, I mean. Inside the sun. Which is glowing. In the mountain.

Inside the news, I mean. It’s a volcano, Eric. They’re made out of rock. It’s glowing because it’s inside the concrete. That’s the picture in the news, the lava glowing outside the mountain because it’s red hot on the sun. It’s very hot in there. That’s why the volcano glows at night. In the sunset, the sunset is at night. It glows.

Mmm. Really hot things glow. Fancy that. Disappointed you can only see it from the air, though.

The picture is undoubtedly bad for the article.

Aahh….

Magma on the inside and Larva on the outside…mmmm…

Indeed and Cadburys Magna is hard on the outside and soft in the middle, much like the volcanoes… but it all falls apart at Lavasoft… to many random thoughts, I must stop thinking about volcanoes and write more scripting… cant eat a whole one you know…

Cadburys Magna that is… not a volcano…

Don’t know anyone who could eat a whole one…

Volcanoes that is…

*DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THIS CONTENT. If you are the owner and would like it removed, please contact me. The content herein is an archived reproduction of entries from Raymond Chen's "Old New Thing" Blog (most recent link is here). It may have slight formatting modifications for consistency and to improve readability.

WHY DID I DUPLICATE THIS CONTENT HERE? Let me first say this site has never had anything to sell and has never shown ads of any kind. I have nothing monetarily to gain by duplicating content here. Because I had made my own local copy of this content throughout the years, for ease of using tools like grep, I decided to put it online after I discovered some of the original content previously and publicly available, had disappeared approximately early to mid 2019. At the same time, I present the content in an easily accessible theme-agnostic way.

The information provided by Raymond's blog is, for all practical purposes, more authoritative on Windows Development than Microsoft's own MSDN documentation and should be considered supplemental reading to that documentation. The wealth of missing details provided by this blog that Microsoft could not or did not document about Windows over the years is vital enough, many would agree an online "backup" of these details is a necessary endeavor. Specifics include:

A "redesign" after 2019 erased thousands of user's comments from previous years. As many have stated, the comments are nearly as important as the postings themselves. The archived copies of the postings contained here retain the original comments.
The blog has changed domains many times and the urls have otherwise been under constant change since 2003. Even when proper redirection has been set up for those links, redirection only works for a limited period of time. For example, all of the internal blog links that were valid in early 2019, were broken by 2020 without proper redirection.
The blog has been under constant re-design and re-theming since its inception. It is downright irritating to deal with a bogged-down site experience as the result of the latest visual themes designed for cell-phone browsers. As of this writing, it is cumbersome to navigate titles with only 10 entries per page. While it is nice that the official site has a search feature, searching using this index (with all titles on a single page) is much quicker (CTRL-F in most browsers).
