The nerdy jokes thread (bonus original title mode!)

Filed under: I can almost remember what it's called.
Nub. Or more pedantically the thing is called a Pointing Stick and the cap on it is the nub.

Personally on the informal side I've always preferred "keyboard clit" to what XKCD puts on that end.
-
I guess it could also depend on the intended use. I'd call it a "TrackPoint™" when doing serious work, and a clit mouse if I used it to flag someone for being a cunt.

The screen is only (I think) 1280x1024, so when I switch from external monitors to the internal screen, Windows resizes all my windows to fit and stacks them all on top of each other.
You switch? I use both. From http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/25693/280344.aspx#280344
Though, as indicated in the OP linked, I eventually moved the external to the left of the laptop.

Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender goes, three beers?
The first logician says: I don't know.
The second logician says: I don't know.
The third logician says: yes.

It doesn't support (I think it actually does, with some adapter I don't have) two external monitors and the internal screen. And yeah, sometimes I disconnect it from the external monitors and use it as, you know, a laptop. It's a bit sad that using the VGA connection to a TV in our conference rooms has higher resolution than the computer's own screen.

Heard it, but I'll like it anyway.

That's pretty good.

IIRC, that was a desktop shot accidentally posted on a Nissan forum, no?
No idea. I found it on imgur.

TRWTF: I can't find the original post on CS where this joke was told.
This was the closest I got: http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/27466/320733.aspx#320733
The "in reply to" link goes to a post by PJH in the same thread, but without the quoted joke. My memory is fuzzy, but did @PJH have this joke as his signature?

I must have gotten that joke from the old forums. Sorry, if I'd remembered that I wouldn't have posted it.

It's not the OS. I know they are fine machines, it's just that every one I used... feels wrong. I can't explain it, and it's highly subjective, but something about the keyboard and the touchpad...
My main problem with Apple laptops are castrated keyboard and trackpad. I actually use those extra keys that PC keyboards have (like Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, Insert and Delete; and I use them in combination with other keys, so knowing that Fn→ is the same as End doesn't really help me).
I really dislike the trackpad, too - it's Windows driver is unstable, and "natural scroll" feels completely unnatural to me.I never really used trackpad on those.
I like the trackpad as long as it's Synaptics, and isn't some ultra-cheap version like on certain HPs, where you can't make two-finger dragging to work (I have no idea how HP managed to fail like that - two-finger right-click and drag work on my 7 years old Acer with recent enough drivers installed and some Registry editing, but on certain even high-end HP laptops from 2-5 years ago it's impossible to enable that).

Interpellation error.

Not a joke, but really nerdy: My 18-yo son baked and decorated his own birthday cake. The side of the cake was decorated with the following text:
F = ma Fg = Gm1m2/r2 K = ½mv2 Δx = V0 + ½at2
He's a physics geek, if you couldn't tell.

Division is harder, being the first of the basic math operations where it is nicer to use a larger base (well, IMO anyway).

I am sad that I do not understand the joke. I would appreciate anyone explaining it to me.

The joke is that he's not using the forms based on (the infinitesimal) calculus or the vector forms. (Writing them out in Discourse is proving annoying to me, so I'll just let you look them up for yourself.)

In East Asian cultures, the number three is represented as “三”, a character that is drawn with three strokes.
But the number four is represented as "四", a character drawn with five strokes, and five is represented as the four-stroke character "五", so the system demonstrably breaks down.
-
If you read it slowly it will automatically have more Page time ;)
-
Do you write 0 with several strokes?
-
To write zero, you actually have to use 0^0 strokes. Which is fine and makes perfect sense obv. You just have to be in the right mood.

Sounds like the beginning of another 1-based indexing flamewar to me.
-
1-based
1-based indexing isn't the same as base-1 indexing!
One is definitely slightly more useful than the other.
-
I prefer my natural numbers (and therefore my ordinals) to include 0, like Peano arithmetic. So on that basis, I prefer one based indexing.
BOOM HEADSHOT

Not a joke, but really nerdy:
Nerdy because he considers Newtonian mechanics a suitable theme for decorating his cake. Nothing deeper than that.
The joke is that he's not using the forms based on (the infinitesimal) calculus or the vector forms.
Give him a break. He just graduated HS; he won't even start college until fall.
(Writing them out in Discourse is proving annoying to me, so I'll just let you look them up for yourself.)
Try writing them out on a cake. The simple forms were barely legible. The fourth one wasn't; I had to ask him what it was supposed to be. The more complex forms, I think, would have just been blobs of frosting.
