What? Dude, it wasn't boring--but I beleive it was linked to earlier in another thread, so maybe some folks had read it already. Still funny and smart, though.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The SciAm article was pretty good, hayden. It's been floating around for a few weeks now, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry to bore everyone with the sarcastic Scientific American post.
I posted a link to that yesterday. There was some discussion.
eta: I don't remember if it was here or in Bitches.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's not terminal. It's probably only chronic.

The book, A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates, is real, and something of a classic in the field of cryptography and computer science,
I have used this book several times in setting up random sequences for experiments or analyses. There's usually one old guy in every science department who has a copy in his office.
Admittedly, it is a very strange book.
