>>the answer ti life the universe and everything is 42, apparently the question is: What is the arithmetic factor in the asymptotics of the third moment of the Riemann zeta-function? In more detail: If you integrate the nth power of the absolute value of the Riemann zeta function on the the critical line between heights -T and T and divide by 2T, you will get a sort of nth moment on average. Random matrix theory predicts the growth of this function to be asymptotic to a "geometric factor" (coming from an integral over the unitary group) times the n^2 power of the logarithm of T. It turned out that the random matrix theory prediction is off by an "arithmetic" factor, so that the correct asymptotics is "a(n)g(n) (log T)^(n^2)" where g(n) is the geometric factor from above and a(n) is a rational number. The article is about the prediction a(3)=42. Go here for more http://www.seedmagazine.com/news/2006/03/prime_numbers_get_hitched.php?utm_source=seedmag-main=rss

>>also, I tried to rewatch Congo the other night just to see if it really was that bad... and yes, it was absolute trash. However I think there is a film that IS WORSE: "Boa vs Python" - you will not believe how bad this is.

>>right, this is because some people (Matt) are so busy they can't open a browser, C&P a link (because someone- me - hasn't hyperlinked them) and then read it. So I'm emailing it and posting it to my blog at the same time - I am so smart, S.M.R.T...
>>according to the IEDAB the earth's current status is "not destroyed". For further updates go to ://qntm.org/board. (this is very funny)
>>Are Men Just Defective Women? //dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2006/03/are_men_just_de.html
>>and apparently there's a sequel to Brokeback Mountain that stars Halle Berry, Eva Longoria, Angelina Jolie etc etc... didn't find a link for this yet though...

Karsten writes "According to The Mercury News Microsoft is developing a PSP/DS/GBA/iPod-killer. J. Allard is leading the project." J. Allard is the man behind the X-Box, and from looking at the article it sounds like it's at least a year before this device, if it hits daylight, would be coming. "Actually, I thought that the PSP was supposed to be the iPod/DS killer. So if MS kills the PSP before it gets a chance to kill the iPod and the DS, then it's just wasting energy, cause it'll have to go kill them itself. It'd be much more efficient and cheaper for MS to wait until Sony finishes killing the iPod and the DS, and then just go whack the PSP. And then wait for Google to release a small electronic device, and then go kill that too." Someone from Slashdot said that...

>>from dilbert dnrc: One of my co-workers (who is originally from Arkansas, just FYI) told me one day that he knew for a fact that sex feels better for women than it does for men. I asked, "How do you figure that?" His reply was (and I am not making this up!), "Because when you put your finger in your ear and wiggle it around, it feels better to your ear than it does to your finger."
>>"An 11-year epoch of increasingly severe solar storms that could fry power grids, disrupt cell-phone calls, knock satellites back to Earth, endanger astronauts in space, and force commercial airliners to change their routes to protect their radio communications and to avoid deadly solar radiation could begin as soon as this fall, scientists announced Monday." I can't remember where I got this from  - google it if you care.
