Tech Support: Semen on Geforce 6 6800 Ultra!

`Umm.. awkward and hypothetical question here, what if… how do I phrase this.. Lets say a “friend” of mine was “pleasuring himself” in the middle of working on upgrading his PC, with the card on the table, he made a “mess” of the card. After the reinstall, the card no longer works, while it was working perfectly before, my “friend” is curious what kind of damage would seminary fluid do to the GPU in question?’


Hacking Coke Machines

`Coke vending machines are everywhere. They’re getting more and more like regular computers with LEDs that show little “ICE COLD” messages and whatnot. Well, there’s a lot more to those little built-in computers than you may think. Included in the low-level operating system that these babies run on is an actual debug menu that gives you access to all sorts of machine information and possibly gives you free cokes in older machines.’

Bank’s £748,000,000,000,000 order

`The court order clearly stated that Barclays was being asked to stump up a colossal £748 trillion in compensation to the former owner of a Spanish bank it acquired 25 years ago.

Last night Spanish court officials said an investigation was under way to discover whether a monumental clerical error was to blame, as suspected, for the number of noughts in the compensation figure. [..]

The amount – €1.1 quadrillion (a quadrillion is 1 followed by 15 zeros) – is the equivalent of 1,400 times Spain’s gross domestic product, or the wealth Spaniards could generate in 1,000 years.’


New gangsta trend significantly reduces inner city shooting fatalities

`According to an article published in the September issue of Handguns magazine, a recent decline in fatalities resulting from inner city handgun shootings can be credited to the thriving popularity of a flashy new gangsta-style shooting technique wherein the weapon is canted 180 degrees from its normal upright position.’

Untidy beds may keep us healthy

`Research suggests that while an unmade bed may look scruffy it is also unappealing to house dust mites thought to cause asthma and other allergies.

A Kingston University study discovered the bugs cannot survive in the warm, dry conditions found in an unmade bed.’

I knew it all along. There’s not a single living dust mite in my bed, I’m sure. 🙂


Researchers Report Bubble Fusion Results Replicated

`The research team used a standing ultrasonic wave to help form and then implode the cavitation bubbles of deuterated acetone vapor. The oscillating sound waves caused the bubbles to expand and then violently collapse, creating strong compression shock waves around and inside the bubbles. Moving at about the speed of sound, the internal shock waves impacted at the center of the bubbles causing very high compression and accompanying temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin.’

Photos: A Tragic Encounter

`The anguish on the faces of these children is raw; the blood on their clothes is fresh. It is likely their parents’ blood, though many of the details behind this series of photographs remain unknown. [..]

It was dusk. And the soldiers’ warning went unheeded, said Chris Hondros, the photographer who took these pictures. They redirected their guns so the bullets pierced the windshield. The car rolled to a stop.’

Cunts. [shrug]
