I think this was a scam set up by PG himself to make us hackers do some proper work for a change. Hell, it worked. I bet bitcoin that they finally managed to fix Obamacare. Was this an example of kindness through cruelty ?

"Now it's a very long time since I did fractal geometry..." Yep, same here I'm afraid. But A Pollock at the fundamental level is just atoms, which I would think is just another countable set. Still, research has been don

I'd prefer that to a Jackson Pollock. Has anyone managed to compute the value of the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension?

"I don't think anyone should ever let fear of having a gap in their CV keep them in a job which they would otherwise quit." Of course, the term "fear" should not come up in discussions about work, unless you work in

"But the idea that bacteria could thrive in the acidic environment of the stomach was thought to be ridiculous." Deinococcus radiodurans can survive acid and high levels of radiation, among other things.

To quit would have been a bad idea. It looks very bad on a CV. In the UK you are told that you shouldn't criticise a former employer, no matter what. I developed an awful cough due to the amount of ten year old dust lying about (I was

Even though my last boss was an alcoholic, he wasn't the cause of the stress I had to endure, he and his brother (who worked as the finance manager) merely exacerbated it. They must have been smoking crack not to notice I had to put up

Thank you very much for uploading this article. About two minutes into reading this I felt rather queasy, then vomited in the waste paper bin.
