Just when you thought you've seen the nerdiest thing in the world...


I'm pretty sure the overclocking competition posted on here a week or two ago beats this out.


This reminds me of slide rule competitions.

I remember being in a typewriter repair shop in Albuquerque and they had a small collection of antiquated equipment.

One artifact was a slide rule that seemed like about the size of a very large bayonet. Even had a sheath, a hilt. It had what looked like katakana written on it.

Maybe we should bring back slide rule competitions back.


Slide rulers rule.


they're not wearing eye protection...tsk tsk
