@dcon That article makes no sense. "A lot of shows have a bad 4th or 5th season, therefore we should not bring Firefly back for a second season."
Regardless of whether or not you think bringing Firefly back for a second season would be a good idea, (and I'll keep my opinion on that subject to myself,) the argument being presented here is silly and illogical.
Not necessarily. Maybe the author thinks that having a bad 4th or 5th season is a sufficiently dreadful prospect that the show should be cancelled now, to avoid that possibility.

@PJH I actually heard that there's a coelenterate with venomous barbs on its tentacles. The poison in its sting causes victims to enter a state of paranoid hallucinations.
That's why they call it a see-an-enemy.

Because it rhymes even less with what it's attempting to substitute.

@onyx That's a skookum comment if I've ever seen one.

I miss the mid 90's when IGBTs started generally appearing. The manufacturer's marketing departments went all-out and we got gems like WARPSPEED and HYPERSPEED IGBTs emblazoned all over the catalogues. I don't think you can really make power semiconductors sexy.

A guy came in to a calculus class one morning after a rough night. Likely one that lasted well into the wee hours of the morning.
It would have been ok, except for the prof didn't know that one of our classmates was an off-duty deputy.
As soon as our still visibly impaired hero was called to the board to demonstrate a solution, the officer had no choice but to arrest him.
Alcohol and calculus don't mix well. You should never drink and derive.

They were bought by Philips in 1975 but continued to use the Signetics trade name for quite a few years after that (at least the mid 80s). They were eventually fully merged into Philips, now NXP. They (NXP) have major facilities in AZ and TX, as well as various places around the world, but apparently not in Silly Valley any more. Actually, come to think of it, they have at least one building in the same group of office buildings I used to work in about 20 years ago, and I'm pretty sure I've seen another one not far from there, but not enough of a presence here for Wikipedia to mention Silly Valley as one of their sites.

Nice joke, but the Oxford Comma is in practice unnecessary. In order to make the joke, they had to take the phrase out of the enclosing sentence.

It's a datasheet for Write-Only Memory, and there's no reason for WOM to ever exist.

Way back in the beginning, I had a WO backup system. I was young, never tested it. Found out it was WO when I tried to do a restore. (cassette tape on DOS - yeah, that old.)

You can take my Oxford Comma out of my cold dead hands.
I also thought the whole anti science "celebs" added a layer to the joke.

There's also a bunch of jokes sprinkled throughout. The list below is not exhaustive.
- In addition to P-channel and N-channel, they list "Neu-channel" MOS devices, with a footnote explaining that Neu-channel enhances or depletes simultaneously, randomly, or not at all.
- Data refresh happens during CB and LH periods. (Footnote: Coffee breaks and lunch hours.)
- VDD = 0V ±2%
- All the Applications section. Some good ones here. My favourites are "Don't Care buffer stores" and "First-In Never-Out (FINO) Asynchronous Buffers"; they also list "Overflow Register (Bit Bucket)".
- "Input Protection: All terminals are provided with slip-on latex protectors for the prevention of Voltage Destruction. (PILL packaged devices do not require protection.)"
- "Silicon Packaging: [...] a non-hermetic sealing technique which prevents the entrapment of harmful ions, but which allows the free exchange of friendly ions."
- "easily cooled by the employment of a six foot fan 1/3" from the package"
- The diagram has lots of stuff. Some highlights are the snooze alarm (connected to 115V AC), the drain, the chip destruct, and the "Clock In" leading to "On-Chip Clock Gen" and thence to "Clock Out". There's also an input which appears to be for the W and anti-W gauge bosons (yay physics! :) ) And "Data In" goes through a couple of inverters and back to "Data In (out)".
-
@scarlet_manuka There's also the graph of latency vs price paid, with those who pay slowly getting reduced performance at any price point.
-
@benjamin-hall Oh, I forgot to look at the graphs page when I was doing the write-up. Thanks for mentioning that.
"Number of remaining pins" vs "Number of socket insertions" is also a good one.
"Bit capacity vs Temp" has three data points on it, all labelled "Typical". And all well below the "Guarantee" line. :)
-
@scarlet_manuka It worries me that someone thinks the PILL provides protection against VD.
Also,
- J. Kana calls it design (we humor him).
I know a number of engineers this footnote could apply to.

As the bug said in MIB, "Those terms are acceptable." ;) I don't know those celebs, but alarms go off whenever I see someone use the phrase "anti-science". I don't know about you, but usually it is used by people with a poor understanding of the foundations of science who are resorting to ad hominem arguments to stifle intelligent discussion and legitimate scientific disagreement.

As a scientist/science teacher, I fully agree about the "anti-science" thing being a red flag. It's used most by believers in scientism, the replacement of religious belief with belief in "science" (which really isn't such a thing). Mostly by people who failed their science classes in high school and vaguely idolize "scientists". The kind of people who go "oh, a physics degree. Physics is hard." when I tell them what I do.
It's a weapon, nothing more. Has nothing to do with actual science.
