The slashdoters are catching up in the Sherdog vs. Slashdot cagematch. From today’s slashdot:
“McDonalds has applied for patent WO2006068865, which carries the title ‘METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING A SANDWICH.’ John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, can eat his heart out (unless that’s been patented, too). Undoubtedly, some people are contemplating whether there’s anything […]
In case you missed it, someone has published a paper showing that DNA can be sequenced by observing thousands of individual molecules of DNA being produced on the fly.
That’s great and all, but we all know that the invocation of molecules implies chemistry, which we know to be a belief system fabricated by racist white […]
In a brilliant maneuver of justice, the supreme court of Canada has decided that airlines must provide a second seat free, to super fatties that can’t fit into one seat.
I’m looking forward to the other decisions that this precedent surely foretells. Particularly the one that requires brothels to provide two hookers for the price of […]
Toms Hardware has a very cool article about hard disk manufacturing at one of Seagate’s plants.
I like this analog about the read/write head:
The dimensions of the head are impressive. With a width of less than a

A 40″ laser operating at 90kW. This is exactly what I need to deal with those a-holes cutting me off on the I880. Cutting a BMW in half while it is swerving in and out of traffic would be fricking cool.

It appears that NASA’s claims of the “hottest October on record”, turn out to be because they used temperature data from August. These people are the some of the most disgusting scumbags on the federal payroll. And that […]
Mac Danzig had this to say to sherdog.com about tonight’s Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar fight:
Mac Danzig: I think Randy wins this fight with experience and overall ability. It seems like Lesnar’s best chance of winning is if he can hold someone [down] for three rounds like he did to [Heath] Herring. I don’t […]
Arstechnica has this insightful piece about AMD’s naming strategy for CPU’s:
It plans to introduce two 32nm Bulldozer cores in 2011, Llano and Ontario. Llano will be a quad-core part with support for DDR3 and up to 8MB of cache, while Ontario will be a dual-core laptop part with an integrated GPU. There’s no word yet […]
These guys suggest that 70% of the spam on the internet came from just one place. If true, that is amazing!
But now that they are shut down, what is going to be done about the quality of the non-spam email in my work email box, 90% of which is far less useful than any of […]
