I have Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation - in my pants!

So do I!

One does suspect, however, that measurements would find temperatures above absolute zero in those (mst3k)regions(/mst3k)

Wait, these two statements are contradictory:

This temperature is just 0.1 Celsius above absolute zero, the coldest temperature theoretically possible in our universe.

"It is indeed both the coldest spot in any spacecraft that we know about, and also the coldest known object in space, including dust, gas etc.," Planck project scientist Jan Tauber wrote in an email. "Of course in a laboratory on Earth, colder spots can be made."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This temperature is just 0.1 Celsius above absolute zero, the coldest temperature theoretically possible in our universe.

That sentence can be interpreted two ways. It's absolute zero that's the coldest temperature possible in our universe.

so, by "colder spots can be made", he means the .1 degree?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The colder spots that could be made on Earth are within Earth's atmosphere, as distinct from being an object in space.

Absolute zero may not be technically possible to reach, since getting all motion to stop... you may be able to get within .001 degree of it, for instance, but you always have that little bit of heat left to suck out.

Coding and Sleeping

Spam comments are annoying. I get an email telling me I've got a comment to moderate on my blog. Then I look at it and it's something like "Hey, great post. I'm looking forward to reading more." Yeah, sure you are, you're a frakking toaster.

Is frakking spelled with 1 or 2 k's. Firefox doesn't recognize either which is wrong. What the hell of nerds made this software if that isn't in the dictionary.

Our wings are not tired.

I'd vote 1 k considering similar words.

Two k's. If there was one k, it would be FRAY-king (long A).
