  Not entirely unrelated... For anyone who has some spare time and a TI-83 calculator, I conceived a set of functions to plot a Tie Fighter.
  
  In Polar mode & radians,
  r1 = tan(Theta^3)
  r2 = -tan(Theta^3)
  
  Window:
  ThetaMin = -10
  ThetaMax = 10
  ThetaStep = 1
  XMin = -10
  XMax = 10
  YMin = -10
  YMax = 10
  
  It helps to turn axes off.
  Try it out... enjoy.

  Nonsense! He'll write a TI-83 program to do just that! That's what I did!
  Everybody does that, right guys? Guys?

Plenty of Pictures by somethinghollow · 2005-09-01 16:33 · Score: 5, Funny

Any time a post has "Plenty of Pictures," it's usually bound to get slashdotted. This is probably because when readers see the words "Plenty of Pictures," they think, "Hey, even if I don't RTFA, I can STFP and infer what TFA is about."

Deduction will get you nowhere with me!

Even more amazing than that... by Rocketship+Underpant · 2005-09-01 17:24 · Score: 5, Funny

Slashdot editors managed to spell "millennium" wrong twice in the same post!

Oh wait, that's not so amazing after all.

Sir, the rebel server is in range

Excellent... Commence firing ignition!

So you're saying Slashdot fired first?
Don't worry, we'll fix it in the dupe.
