I thought it had less. My biggest disappointments with the new movie were mediocre 3D effects, not enough nerd-computer references, and no one was on the outside helping him or communicating with him.

The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza 282

iamapizza writes "New Scientist reports on the quest of two math boffins for the perfect way to slice a pizza. It's an interesting and in-depth article; 'The problem that bothered them was this. Suppose the harried waiter cuts the pizza off-center, but with all the edge-to-edge cuts crossing at a single point, and with the same angle between adjacent cuts. The off-center cuts mean the slices will not all be the same size, so if two people take turns to take neighboring slices, will they get equal shares by the time they have gone right round the pizza — and if not, who will get more?' This is useful, of course, if you're familiar with the concept of 'sharing' a pizza."

I first thought it would be like this:

-Open Source/Company/person submits short blocks of crap code
-People sign up to fix crap code blocks (fixing their code karma in the process)
-People gain karma points that allow them to post more code that needs fixin'
-Fixed code gets merged... no more crap!

Sounded interesting that way. (instead of a money grab)
