Dark Matter Exists

Is it proof that dark matter exists that the link takes me to a blank page???
...the server must have known of the impending slashdot effect and preemptively protected it's CPU from the impending meltdown

I think it's going to be a big day for their webmasters as well.
Now it's our turn to hide from the dark matter and wait for it to discover us! Come one everyone - pick a hiding spot and get to it! Hurry!

does this mean grey matter exists as well?
After much speculation, scientists now have conclusive proof of dark matter.
Well, their proof is based on the detection of gravity and gravitational fields. Every real American knows that it's not "gravity", but "intelligent falling". Gravity is a myth invented by foreign scientists to make all Americans seem overweight.
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
I say we use it to build a dyson sphere around the entire universe. Then we can finally solve the question of whether the universe is expanding / contracting / balancing. The hard way.
Funny, I always figured the announcement of experimental confirmation of dark matter would first be published in a scientific journal or announced at a news conference...not on a blog shared by Mark, Claire, and Sean, whoever they may be.
I'm outraged -- are you really implying that we should take this proof of dark matter with a grain of salt, while there's this well-known Irish company that's using dark matter to produce free, clean and constant energy right now?

I haven't yet read this article due to it being slashdotted, but I'm sure it is at least as credible as the story about the new source of free energy from magnets and as accurate as the one that says goldfish are smarter than dolphins.

It didn't "Melt Down".
It underwent a resonance cascade reducing the server into its Dark-Matter counterpart.
Sheesh, get with the program here!

Clearly, this matter which refuses to reflect light in our visible spectrum has something to hide. Ergo, it is terrorism and must be quashed.
Consciousness is a myth. Trust me.
"2) It's conventional matter in some seriously surprising state that we don't understand, causing it not to be visible"
:-p
What... like, being behind other matter?

that thinking is SO twentieth century...
all this Dark Fiberthat they talk about really exists, 'cause I'm still stuck on dial-up :-(
Definately a discovery to celebrate over drinks. Where's the keg party? Better yet, break out the whiskey and let's light some cigars instead. I knew there was dark matter ... why else is the night sky black with so many damn stars out there?
"we know nothing"
A mistake known as "generalising from self"; you know nothing, therefore you assume that everybody else must know nothing too (not your fault, you cannot conceive of anything else). This is a primitive form of reasoning called "induction", whilst it can have its place, it often leads to huge inaccuracies such as deriving "we know nothing" from "I know nothing".
Proof of your limited ability to use logic:
"we know nothing, and what we do know..."
The two are mutually exclusive; we cannot both know nothing, and have stuff that we do know.
Proof of your lack of knowledge:
"Science-is-infallible types claim to know and understand the universe"
No they don't. They claim to be trying.
With both a lack of knowledge and a lack of ability to use logic, one might think the two would cancel out and you'd get a thing or two right, but I guess you're pretty unlucky, which would explain the bitterness too.

A steaming pile of Dark Matter was found on the sidewalk and traced back to Nibbler's litterbox. Bad Nibbler!
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Must have been a bad link. I think that's the page for the Uncertainty Theorem.

OMG its a wachowski brother!!!
