  1. Re:I hope the noise isn't too bad by Willard+B.+Trophy · · Score: 1 · on World's Largest Wind Turbine
    There's a problem with having a streamlined tower: the nacelle and blades yaw around the tower as they follow the wind. So the best tower design is round, as the wind can come from anywhere.

    Part of the problem of earlier designs was that they had blades downwind of the tower. That meant that the blades were operating in turbulent air, which tends to be noisier.

    (That's not to say that downwind designs are totally without merit. The designs from Proven Engineering in Scotland are remarkable.)

  3. SKO by bstadil · · Score: 1 · on OSDL Releases Q&A on SCO Legal Actions
    As I Dane I strongly object to this slur on our proud language (If you have to poke fun, Swedish is much more deserving. there is a reason the Chef was Swedish)

    SKO in Danish is what Darl need to have inserted where the sun don't shine. If you need a hint SKO is someting the Nazi storm troopers wore on their Feet.

  4. Bored of the Rings by EL_Fudge · · Score: 1 · on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD

    I hope one of the extra features is the movie adaptation of National Lampoon's Bored the the Rings. I want to follow Dildo Bugger, Spam, Goodgulf and Arrowroot in their adventures against Sorhed.

    "How about making the guy sound like some fanatical old cook talking about hackers. "

    Hmm, a fanatical old cook eh? I think I know the one you're talking about, he's called the Swedish Chef.

    How dare you call it "their made up language"! It is obviously a tribute the the great Swedish Chef, one of the best muppets of all time (it's true, even if there are hundreds of other best muppets of all time).

    Here's a couple other places that speak Swedish Chef, and can make /. even more fun!

    the Dialectizer

    I read this parody Bored of the Rings back in the early 80s. Hadn't thought about it until I read your post's title! Very funny stuff!

    It's all in the spirit of the Swedish Chef of Jim Henson's Muppets fame. The enchefferizer is supposed to take English text and make it sound like the Swedish Chef were butchering it with his (hilarious if you're a Merkin) accent. To learn more, there's always alt.swedish.chef.bork.bork.bork.
