The following is the log of an online conversation I had with one of my friends when I asked her about the advantages of various IRA accounts:
(22:44:47) Me: hey business major!
(22:44:58) Me: why would someone want a roth ira instead of a regular ira?
(22:46:23) Me: actually, why traditional instead of roth?
(03:13:00) Friend: oh
(03:13:11) Friend: cuz r0th, the total contribution = 4000
(03:13:23) Friend: total;, = roth + traditio
(03:13:33) Friend: whereas thet raditional, the limit itself is 4000
(03:13:42) Friend: roths are tax exe,pt

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 will also display games in wide-screen, high-definition format. It will be powered by three 3.2-gigabyte processors, compared with a single 733-megahertz processor in the current Xbox.
Eric A. Taub, The New York Times
Three 3.2-gigabyte processors? The new Xbox must incorporate some new computer methodology.
Why can’t a great newspaper like the New York Times hire people who actually understand technology to report about it?
This is the second in my series of UC Berkeley signs missing letters. Find the first here.
I think this picture is appropriately timed, considering the recent elections in Great Britain. For those that don’t get it, think about the two main British political parties.
Perhaps the penguin represents Linux and the leech represents Microsoft, who has been “leeching” ideas from Apple and Linux. Unfortunately I didn’t have any apples in my fridge…
This is insane and funny. Vietnamese stores just have a knack for coming up with (intentionally and unintentionally) funny names and signs…
Notice the number next to the “debian-user” label…
UPDATE: Apparently I didn’t max out gmail’s new message counter. The debian-user label counter has moved up to 10055.
The other day, I’m at the deli and I say, “Waiter, there’s a subatomic particle in my borscht! It’s enormous! Look at it go!” So the waiter says, “I’m sorry, sir, but you know what Heisenberg says about the limitation of measuring two properties of a quantum object with infinite precision.” “But Werner Heisenberg was a big fat Nazi,” I say. So the waiter says, “I’ll get the manager.”

There’s just something about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle that draws me to any mention of it…
