Fandangled new lingo you kids got...

So if a site gets hammered after a reference to it is posted on slashdot.org as thousands of people simultaneously try to gain access, is said to be slashdotted....

What's the equivalent for a site linked to from digg? Digg-dugged?

Now that's elegant science. Create one pair of entangled photons, send #1 immediately to a particle/wave detector, send #2 through a 50ms delay to a second detector that can force the state to be particle or wave, and see if you can also force #1 to be one or the other... 50ms before you alter its twin.

Elegant. Simple. Outstanding.

And I know of at least a couple that read this from time to time...

Exactly how offended *are* you by Microsoft's new search engine, Ms. Dewey? (MS Dewey, get it? ahahahaha. sigh.)

I really can't imagine a worse or more annoying interface for searching. Well, except for Bob. Or Clippy.

I wonder if she gives a demo if I search for 'lap dance'?
