Maybe they'll name it after their favourite development aid. BingBong!

I'm afraid you'll find that measurement to produce a purely imaginary result.

You get this:

Yes, the link includes studies showing a correlation with something that could conceivably cause weird behaviour (sleep cycles), but haven't actually found a correlation with the weird behaviour.

So either there's no "lunar effect", or whatever effect there is results in a nonexistent/negligible increase in hospital/police activity.

Ask any police officer or health care provider how people act during the full moon. They will almost always tell you that they are busier and people are crazier around that time of the month - consistently - although they can't quite explain why.

Confirmation bias. I've heard the same thing from nurses, but the fact is, no correlation has been found.

Snowpiercer was based on a graphic novel, which IMHO is a medium that lends itself to suspension of disbelief. Once I accepted the ridiculous premise I actually found the movie...well, kinda bad in general, but not because of the premise :)

Speaking of which, that's enough /. for me today :)

Well, clearly *that's* an exception. I'd forgotten because in that case, I'd normally a a u's (.

We just had a story about low-level improvements to the BSD kernel, and now we get an article about chip-level features and how compilers use them?

Is this some sort of pre-April-Fools /. in 2000 joke? Where are my Slashvertisements for gadgets I'll never hear about again? My uninformed blog posts declaring this the "year of Functional Declarative Inverted Programming in YAFadL"? Where the hell are my 3000-word /. editor opinions on the latest movie?

If this keeps up, this site might start soaking up some of my time instead of simply being a place I check due to old habits.

Wait - you're using a computer to create content instead of just consume it? ...are you a wizard?

(I may well hold the record for longest time playing without an ascension)

I think I started Hack around '92, and finally ascended in 2009. I've been trying to ascend about once a year since then.

Don't worry, that would never happen.

G's are only ever gnomes (of differing ranks), but a g might be a gargoyle, flying gargoyle, or gremlin.

I hope that clears things up. And for god's sake, don't genocide G's if you're playing as a gnome.

But it came with a free frogurt!

That puts him in the same state as the comet, assuming all goes well.

I came close - I kept thinking "But eChocolate is a noun, not a verb!"
