Get Cynical

Here is an interesting application of a fountain.

This fountain is connected to money currency rates on the internet. It is realtime! Refreshed every five seconds. This mobile fountain measures 5x4x3 meters. The relation between money and water is evident. On our datafountain we display the Yen, Euro and Dollar (¥€$). Currency rates are closely interconnected; their interdependence is visible in water. The design of the casing was kept as minimal as possible. The water is the thing to look at and listen to.

Scenes from the original three Star Wars movies done in Lego of course.

Remember that huge B-52 model that was circulating around the net a few months ago? It seems to have had a bit of an accident. (Video on their website of the crash.)

Hehe, they are using a PDP-11 sim to run this version of unix.

In this document, we discuss “gbaunix”, a rather contrived experiment in which we run an ancient version of the UNIX operating system on a popular hand-held video game system using a simulator. I can imagine this to be loosely of interest to a few types of people:

* Game Boy hobbyist programmers
* Students of operating systems, emulators, and compilers
* UNIX aficionados

I guess the geocentric universe theory is making a comeback. I mean this site does have “over 70 links below.”

Cool.

Someone has posted a bounty that will be rewarded to the first person who asks President Bush the question “How many times have you been arrested, Mr. President?”. The bounty is up to $688.29 when I last checked. My guess is that there will be another bounty to ask Kerry a question and so on.

Cute but I think they missed a few stages. Here is the first stage.

Stage #1 — Smart

This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject. You know
all and greatly wish to express this knowledge to anyone who will
listen. At this stage you are also always right. And of course the
person you are talking with is very wrong. You will talk for hours trying to convince someone that you are right. This makes for an interesting
argument when both parties are “smart”. Two people talking, in fact,
arguing about a subject neither one really knows anything about, but
are convinced that they are they complete authority on the subject
makes for great entertainment for those get the opportunity to
listen in.

Can anyone explain to me what exactly this is?
