These aren't "our" theories. These are the "theories" of every mathematician since I don't know when. The people who proved that pi is irrational are long dead. Every mathematician currently...

Why would you start a thread in the Geek's Lounge and then say this? I mean what's the point of starting a thread if you don't want other peoples' opinions?

Pot calling the kettle black. You're one of the most self-righteous, judgmental people I've ever come across, completely confident in the rightness of every opinion you express. It bugs you when...

The bashing is understandable, IMO. People need to vent. In my experience, most peoples' main beefs with Microsoft are the monopolies/anti-trust/bundling issues, which all boil down to people...

I don't know whether programmers are stoners, but I feel pretty confident that successful ones aren't stoned WHILE programming. It takes too much concentration and attention to detail, and it's hard...

"Enter" key for me. I don't think it's because I use it so much, but I just use it more exuberantly. Every time I hit it, I crash down on it like "There, I'm DONE!".

Then no man has ever been married in the history of the world. No man has ever understood every word his wife/girlfriend has ACTUALLY said, much less every word she HASN"T said, much less what our...

Here's one of those "wacky news" stories. Some guy named his kid Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and "because no one else in the world would have that name." (there's a good reason for...

We have a stickie on top of a lot of the forums with good websites/books, etc. I figured I'd share one I just discovered. I decided to test my C++ knowledge and so I took this quiz...

I wait a few years on everything if I can on the assumption that it takes a few years to get all the bugs out. Being the first one on the block with a new product can be cool, but it is inadvisable...

You guys must have been home schooled. No one can go through preschool and elementary school without having been exposed to Cooties. I see neither of you are from the States, but I had thought...

Who exactly is saying these things? And what episode of Coast To Coast AM did they say this on?

I'm not sure whether I like the idea or not, but I like the thread. It's a more interesting topic than many in the Geek's Lounge; a nice change-up from a lot of the other threads, which are often...

I can do without more airports and I love theme parks, but you're right on the prisons. We need someplace to stick all the people who refuse to use code tags.

Bad video, yes. Worst YouTube video ever? Not even close. You have some stiff competition, my friend. To even touch the bad YouTube video rankings, one needs to demonstrate a level of narcissism...

No no, I'm not dumb enough to give away my real address or e-mail. The only information I provided was my social security number, driver's license number, birthdate, and mother's maiden name.

Depends on my mood, which depends on what computer language I'm working with. If I'm working with C++, I can normally figure it out and I stick with juice and soft drinks. When I work with JSP, I...
