In this house we obey the Laws of Thermodynamics.

... said Homer Simpson.
A story was published on /. today about a Nuclear Reactor in Alabama powering down due to increased river water temperature which made cooling inefficient. Here's a sample comment on why the reactor needs so much cooling.

Waste heat? Why not just figure out a way to turn waste heat into energy to avoid heating the river up unnecessarily?

And, its modded 4, insightful.
I mean, WTF!? Did these people go to school or not?!

More such comments here, here, and here :|

Edit: The comment I mentioned is now down to 1, Insightful. It was modded 'insightful' 5 times, modded 'overrated' 3 times and 'troll' 2 times, and everyone starts off at 1 =)

Emoticons ^_^

  Hilarity! Utkarsh uses this when he's ROTFLMAOing

  Always applicable :P. Used by me, Utkarsh, Praneeth, SidPrak, Elina, Naresh etc at random :P

  Misused by Praneeth to the point where I have started hating it.

  Probably Chintal's favourite emoticon, he uses it ~88% of his conversations. :}


• =;=;
  A complete mystery to me.^* Used by SidPrak to end every conversation. Which is followed by a ":P" by me :}


• 
  A lot of people don't have any characteristic smileys. And some never use any at all. But almost everyone has used ":)" sometime or the other...

^* Its supposed to mean something in Yahoo, but since i don't use it, I'm not sure what :P

double-u-tee-eff-maite

So much to say, and so little inclination to do so :P

Yay

Here comes a random post your way! If you don't have anything to say, type away to glory! Let the souls of a million proverbial monkeys fill you! Let creativity go to hell, let probability rule! I love ending sentences in exclamation marks!! Like this!! And this!!! And this!!!!
Okay, I should probably stop. Doing this ie! He He He.

Okay.
Hmmm.

Baaah

You can have an entire conversation with these words, as I am willing to show anyone who is jobless enough to ask me.
Beware though, if I'm not so inclined as to suffer with you, I might put a chatbot on and go machao bhasad somewhere :P
"Machao Bhasad" is a holy term holier than the ten commandments. Though I believe the words "No Pissing here" on a yellow wall are holier than those most unworthy ten.
The Holy Words mean creating havoc. In basic words, which I dislike, and I would've started up on a long winded slightly humorous, mostly boring, gory description of the term if it weren't for the Open Music Concert for which I'm already late by 3 mins. So adios, ciao and good byeses.

Cya later!

Boink.

Blog Post to tell you all that I am still alive.
I just have waaay too much to write about. When that happens, there are two kinds of reactions by people. Either they go on a blogging spree, or they stop blogging.
I'm too lazy to do the former :P

Bleah

Bleah Bleah Bleah.

Yay!

My Exams are over!
A chance to slog harder till the next midsem has arrived!
Hooray for all masochists! =P

You see, I actually end up studying the least during midsems. I finished Quake 4 in two days. Yesterday and day before. I actually finished it and then went to write my TA201 exam in the morning today :x
Now that its over, all I can think about is going to class tomorrow and doing my lab report(s). *roll eyes*
Oh well. Doesn't matter when you study as long as you do study :)
