Abuse of technology

Random quote of the day, from CNN.com:

"Pringles potato chips are designed using [supercomputing] capabilities -- to assess their aerodynamic features so that on the manufacturing line they don't go flying off the line," said Dave Turek, vice president of deep computing at IBM.


This begs the question: are there engineers that really suck that hard, that they can't make a fucking potato chip stay on a conveyor belt?

Gravity points down.

I think it's a safe assumption that this manufacturing line is straight.

They can't keep a chip from randomly launching into the air?

damn thats the 3rd randomly flying chip related death this week we need to do something now!

Well the more downward force the chips generate the faster you can run the conveyor belt.

Tant, just when I think I have you figured out, you say something like this.

You won't accumulate honor at the same rate in the new system, honor itself is given in lower amounts. Bonus honor outside of pure PvP kills will be added during the calculation, which is run nightly but has not yet been run.

Yeah Gnom, I'm the same way. Whenever I talk about Pringles, I can't stop thinking about the new honor system either.
