New Discovery Disproves Quantum Theory?
An anonymous reader writes to tell us the Guardian is running a story that has quite a few physicists up in arms. From the article: "Randell Mills, a Harvard University medic who also studied electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claims to have built a prototype power source that generates up to 1,000 times more heat than conventional fuel. Independent scientists claim to have verified the experiments and Dr Mills says that his company, Blacklight Power, has tens of millions of dollars in investment lined up to bring the idea to market. And he claims to be just months away from unveiling his creation." The only problem is Mills' theory is supposed to be impossible when using current rules of quantum mechanics.

Pop quiz. Can you come up with an IT equivalent ...
See, that's part of the problem. This site used to be full of weirdos and tech-freaks and actual honest-to-god nerds.
Now there are people who casually throw out terms like fucking 'IT' as if that's who hangs out here.
Here's a clue for you all: (no, the walrus is not paul)
IT is the fucking monkey that makes sure the network is up and who makes sure there is enough paper in the cabinet next to the laserjet and the toner is fresh.
This is supposed to be about more. The forums are supposed to be filled with people who know most of the common TTL part numbers well enough to figure out what a computer board does just by reading them. It's supposed to be full of people who have laser tubes they salvaged and modulate to beam signals to their friend across the street.
And shouldn't you IT people be changing toner in the fucking laserjet5 on third floor, anyway?? Hop to it.
