Chipping the web – Maid of the Seas

Least three unique:  the smallest positive integer containing three unique digits (in base-10) is 102.

Don’t try this at home.  WD-40 has tons of uses — one I hadn’t known about is self-immolation.

This should really help to convince the Iraqis that we’re there for their own good.  Maybe we could use vaccines instead of bullets.

Iron Ruby hits the streets.  Sort of (thanks, apotheon).

Thanks for the link-love, Assaf!  And believe it or not, Assaf, you were the first to lead me to this excellent post by Bill de hÓra on frameworks that are truly designed for the web.

It’s the semantics, stupid!  Via Reg, who also led me to this:

   Not just in base 10, but in any

   102 to base 3 = 11 to base 10

   Quite right, Stu. The numeric representation “102″ fits that description in any base in which it has meaning. I was thinking of the quantity instead. I should have been more precise. Thanks for pointing that out.
