42 *IS* The answer to Life, the Universe and Zeta
Venusian Treen writes "In their search for patterns, mathematicians have uncovered unlikely connections between prime numbers and quantum physics. The gist is that energy levels in the nucleus of heavy atoms can tell us about the distribution of zeros in Riemann's zeta function - and hence where to find prime numbers. This article discusses this connection, and introduces two physisicts who tell us 'why the answer to life, the universe and the third moment of the Riemann zeta function should be 42.'"
But!!!! 42 is the 3rd Reimann moment, previously unknown!!!! that is HUGE!
what? your just a computer programmer? well, of course you will not understand why it is so very important.
What's nice is that the Slashdot crowd doesn't live in a collective glass house and they never throw stones. Why fucking demasculate the guy for your own self gratification. I suspect you jerk off more than he does.
I suspect that a large group of Slashdotters don't get laid often. I suspect it's largely because of their endearing nature of putting others down to satisfy their deep seeded insecurities.
Go buy a dog.
