Stuff You Didn't Know

For those into trivia...

And even more fun facts...

Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It...

Due to the nature of the content of this site, I feel I should help get this known.

The Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Jack Bauer

Personally not a big fan of 24, but still funny

1. Jack doesn't believe in Murphy's Law, only Bauer's Law: "Whatever CAN go wrong, WILL be resolved in a period of 24 hours."
2. If everyone on "24" followed Jack Bauer's instructions, it would be called "12".
3. Jack Bauer could strangle you with a cordless phone.
4. Someone tried to tell Jack Bauer a "knock knock" joke. Jack Bauer found out who was there, who they worked for, and where the damn bomb was.
5. Killing Jack Bauer doesn't make him dead. It just makes him angry.
6. Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.
7. "You don't know Jack!" is a blessing among terrorists.
8. Jack Bauer sleeps with a pillow under his gun.
9. Jack Bauer once took a whole vial of sleeping pills. It made him blink.
10. When someone asks him how his day is going, Jack replies, "Previously, on 24..."
11. In 96 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 93 people and saved the world 4 times. What the hell have you done with your life?
12. Jack Bauer never retreats, he just attacks in the opposite direction.

Children are the future

Well... Children and the race of talking apes that will have come forth and enslaved them...

Why we believe Americans are stupid.

I know these are exteme cases, but it's still kinda sad...

What DnD character are you?

I've done a lot of these, but I've never found that calculated ability scores and level like this one.

I Am A: Lawful Good Human Sorcerer (3rd Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-11
Dexterity-13
Constitution-12
Intelligence-16
Wisdom-14
Charisma-12


For some reason I'm always Lawful Good in these things. But on top of that I'm a crappy sorcerer. (Cha 12? That's great... So I can cast lvl 2 spells? good that I'm only lvl 3 then...)

Take the test here


If you do take it, post your results in the comments. I'm curious to see what other people get out of this thing.

SequentialArt

I discovered this comic through Thread of balance. (I've added this link to a new links section on the right, it's a blog owned by a friend of mine)
And it's definitely worth a read. I haven't gotten too far in the archives yet but there's some funny stuff in there. High cuteness and furry-factor though. So stop wasting your time here and go read it!

Programming comments

For those of you who are not all to familair with programming, when you write a program, a script,... you can add comment lines that don't count towards the program. These comment lines help people understand your program.
For example:
#This is where this program connects to the database
or
#This is where the user inputs data

When you use programs you'll never see any of these comments, they are well hidden deep inside a script.
That was untill google started crawling through source code and the end result was this.

Speed up your Firefox

I just found this while stumbling around and I must say I can tell the difference. According to this site. Firefox is optimized for Dail-Up. But it includes a pipelining feature, which is disabled by default. If you activate it firefox will load in several things at once, instead of picture per picture. This puts a bit more strain on your connection but if you're on broadband it should be much different. (I'm not an expert on this field, just saying what the site says)
This is how you activate it:

* Type “about:config” into the adress bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):
* Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
* Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0? (I think this is just a zero, the ? is probably a typo). This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

I'm still trying it out, seeing if my pc doesn't explode or something. But I have noticed that Firefox does indeed load pages faster.
Again: not me, got it from here.

Cloverfield

I think if I could only see one movie in 2008, it would be this one. Just to see if it lived up to the hype that it's been building, and the trailers are spectacular to say the least.

Apple has the teaser and the new trailer, if you haven't seen anything yet I suggest you start with the teaser...
