Scientists Set New Coldest Temperature Record

Posted by michael on from the wear-your-mittens dept.

one_who_uses_unix writes "Scientists recently successfully cooled a gas to the coldest temperature ever recorded ABC News reports. This is good news for proponents of basic research (read non-applied) which has seen shrinking budgets over the past few decades, and for overclockers hoping to squeeze 1 more cycle out of their CPUs."

    As a matter of fact, you are correct, I mentioned overclockers to get their attention. This was a blatant attempt to introduce humor into the otherwise serene and serious atmosphere maintained on /. If I could retract the sentence and replace it with....

    "No facetious observations regarding the relationship between extremely low temperatures and overclocking are permitted."

    I have a few comments on this observation that should server to vindicate me in the mind of those who might be concerned by the gratuitous use of technology buzzwords:

    1. What is wrong with getting /. editor's attention?
    2. Smile - you will find it is healthy.
    3. Made ya look.
