jd's Journal: In Other News For Nerds

There is a new science/geek website out there, called Null Hypothesis, that covers highly unlikely but totally real science. The headline story at the moment is about the sounds of protein molecules. The BBC's coverage of this attempt to out-geek the geeks reports that there are only 60,000 readers - something like a hundredth of what I believe Slashdot's readership is. Even if nobody actually joins the site, it is our clear moral duty to our fellow nerds (and an interesting science experiment they can report on) to attempt to melt the server under a severe Slashdotting.
