Slashdot Mirror

Unless you want to make a case for it, your insults are dull... And boring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... http://songmeanings.com/songs/... http://www.lyricsmania.com/not... Just because.

I've been waiting a few years to have a reason to post this on Slashdot...

The Carbon Cycle - Lyrics here

I'd argue that everybody has an ego, but it's not often belittled and abused if your conclusions are the same as those of everyone else.

Or as Skyhooks said all those years ago Ego is not a Dirty Word.

I am the AC video poster, and I am a Catholic. You need to go over those lyrics again to make sure you understand what exactly is being said. I believe that you have entirely missed the point.

I know the menagerie of particles and things-we-like-to-model-as-if-they-were-particles becomes huge.

Even so, after starting my morning with an article about quantum "polaritons", I will have this running through my head all day...
Lyrics here if you don't want your friends to know you listen to goth trek filk.

Forget imaginary numbers. Take a real point on the x/y plane. Call its coordinates Cx and Cy. Then, take another point call it Z (Zx and Zy) that starts at zero. Do the following over and over a set number of times:
TempY = zY^2
zY = c2 * zX * zY + cY
zX = X^2 - TempY + cX.
... and as the song says
If the series of Z's should always stay
Close to Z and never trend away
That point is in the Mandelbrot Set

Make that point black. If the point "trends away" or gets too big, make it white.

I may be feeding a troll but at least I got to make a Jonathan Coulton reference!

They released a John Lennon tribute song a while ago now...

As Georges Brassens once said : Gare au Gorille !

For those of you who don't read French, Georges Brassens' english wikipedia page will explain to you why you should avoid gorillas, simply search for "Le gorille" in this page.

Fukitol is old had!

You should try the new wonder drug, "Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin"

Someone hasn't heard of the Flobots.

Not such a good write-up in other areas...

MC Lars - Download this song.mov is actually on the radio playlist(s) here, which is quite the feat actually, if indeed he's got no major label behind him. Sure, the tune is ripped (Passengers?), but the lyrics is on the mark:

The old-school major deal? It makes no sense
Indentured servitude, the costs are too immense!
Their finger's in the dam but the crack keeps on growing
Can't sell bottled water when it's freely flowing
Record sales slipping, down 8 percent
Increased download sales, you can`t prevent
Satellite radio and video games
Changed the terrain, it will never be same
Did you know in ten years labels won`t exist?
Goodbye DVDs, and compact disks!

Though 10 years is a bit optimistic.
