PCP&C's are just rebranded Seasonic power supplies, so you're not liable to miss out on much if they disappear.

I agree. My 2 year old has used this app and (with a good deal of coaching) now has a somewhat intuitive grasp of the idea of canceling things out and other basic algebra concepts. I'm pretty sure he can't explain why it works, but the intuition building has helped his problem solving.

I find some kind of satisfaction in seeing this sort of thing become widespread.
In this case, it would make a "return to the gold standard" be absolutely worthless.

The one thing I found amusing about the whole thing is that PhD supposedly stood for "Pimpin' Hoes Daily". Then I read this:

Her $500 a night went straight to Dears, though, who "took care of her" in his own special way. As San Diego's Union Tribune reported, Dears found out the woman had spoken to a man who wanted to help her get off the streets. So Dears "beat her up in the back seat of his Cadillac and then forced her to get into the car's trunk, she testified. While in the trunk, she was driven from East Main Street in El Cajon to Hotel Circle in Mission Valley, she testified."

Major league asshole. I hope he gets the book thrown at him.

I can't help but wonder... why am I watching a NASA video where the crater's falling on the moon makes sound in a vacuum?

I know it's artistic license and all, but aren't videos like this reserved for nerds, who actually care about things like accuracy?

Your interpretation sounds buggy.

From what I know, the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) uses a Fast Fourier Transform to quickly find the square of a number. This is a required part of the Lucas-Lehmer test (the test that determines if the number is prime).

If this form of FFT can do fast squaring, it will reduce the amount of time taken to find new, large primes.

This is a potentially exciting development in this field.

A real bridge made out of Lego almost certainly wouldn't be stronger, but it would still be awesome.
This one is both awesome *and* probably stronger.

How many job openings are there for 'hot chick pussy eater'?

From someone working in the adult industry, the answer is: quite a few job openings are available for that role.

What "global" allies? Russia won't do anything beyond complain loudly because energy supply is the centerpiece of their foreign economic policy. China likely won't mind as long as it doesn't spill over into their territory because, like Russia, they don't particularly care so long as it doesn't negatively affect them. Sunni Arabia will be munching popcorn and cheering the impending demise of the Persian heathens, and the rest of the oil exporting nations are too small and irrelevant to mention.

It's also what they get for building on a floodplain.

What does it mean?

Would it have killed him to have backlit LCD screens mounted in place of the license plates to otherwise display what a regular license plate would anyways?

Heck, there's enough available characters on CA license plates to allow for "IDOUCHE" so if he ever felt like lampshading his need for an attitude adjustment, there was at least one good reason for using a license plate.
