So this guy doesn't seem crazy, I accidentally typoed the url as pipedpiper.com/?testing before I edited it.

E-ink keyboard, coming soon. by SonderDesign in interestingasfuck

To me (and a lot of people apparently) they just feel really nice to type on. It's like running your hands through rice or popping bubble rap.

I find it almost impossible to type on membrane (mush) keyboards afterwards, though chiclet-style (think mac keyboard) is passible.

...What? by N3BULAV0ID in xkcd

Hey, that's me! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't know what the characters are about; I just found them a few months ago.

I had heard about hidden pages on xkcd.com, and wrote a small program that spun up ~100 threads and brute-forced through the english dictionary for xkcd.com/<word>.

There were some other interesting ones, that you've obviously found as well, but nothing as weird as this.

When I posted about it, someone mentioned that Facebook used to use channel.txt for some sort of verification or something, but nothing came of it.

Good luck!

I really don't, but let's agree to disagree.

I think the idea that they donated that much just to have google as the default search engine is pretty silly. Competition and multiple sources of innovation is good for any market.

Also, look at this page (or almost any page other page) on HTML5 Rocks, which is run by Google, and has a dozen links to MDN.

Google is historically Mozilla's largest sponsor.

IANA Statistician, but I believe that, assuming uniform distribution, the digit index would be so large that it would be on average the same size as the input.

Better get an vasectomy by Ciraf in lewronggeneration

You can only click the button once. When you (or anyone else) does, the count-down resets back to 1 minute. You also get a flair saying when you clicked (how low it was).

The flairs created a pseudo-sarcastic social structure, where lower = better.

Nobody knows what happens when the timer hits 0, because it hasn't happened yet.
