Hurrayy!! My name is going to Mars :D

Don't believe in me??? I even have a certificate issued by NASA.

If you also want to go to Mars (at least your name) checkout this URL:

Why don't CSI writers ask someone who really understands these things? How did they create this line?? Did they just joined a bunch of words that they didn't know the meaning?

Strange title, but it is true. Want to hear how your kernel sounds? Just do:

cat /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic >| /dev/audio

If you hear some random noise, that's how your kernel sounds :P

Careful because it may be very loud.

I love reading about some curiosities in math. This problem is extremely simple to understand but the result is really non-intuitive.

The Monty Hall Problem:

Imagine you are on a game show. There are three doors, one holds a prize (a car) and the other two only have goats.

You choose a door. Then the host of the show opens, who knows what's behind the doors, opens one of the remaining doors which has a goat.

Then the question pops up: should the contestant change doors or not. I (like many others) said that the event was isolated so the probabilities to winning on changing were equal to not changing (50%-50%). This is wrong!!!
