Two of the dorkiest things known to humankind -- math jokes and collegiate a capella -- are combined in this video to adorable effect. The Klein Four will send any heart that cares about higher mathematics a-pitter-patter with a series of romantic mathematical gags. You could steal the lyrics for your own serenade, but your harmonizing almost certainly won't be this good.
My best friend met her boyfriend because of this video. No, I'm not kidding!
A couple of summers ago, one of her friends sent her a youtube link of a video to cheer her up. The video was, of course, this one, and as she was (and still is) a math geek, she found it to be (in her words), "hilarious, cute, kinda sexy, and geeky all at the same time." She thought right away, "This is my kind of guy."
About a week later, she came across the Klein Four's website with their contact info, and she emailed them to tell them how awesome she thought the video was. Matt (the guy in the middle, who wrote all the songs), emailed her back, and before long, they were emailing each other every day, multiple times. Then talking over AIM every night. Then talking on the phone every night! They even sent each other little packages in the mail... since they lived 3000 miles apart, and they knew a relationship couldn't work because they hadn't met each other, and the distance was just insane.
As luck would have it though, she was in the process of researching and applying to PhD programs, and the only school she got funding for was in the same state as he lived! She flew out to visit the school, and she finally met him... and the rest, as they say, is history. Now they've been together for a little more than a year and a half, and I've never seen her so happy. :)
Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

AISO founders envisioned a Web hosting company that was environmentally friendly. While the company employed energy-efficient innovations like solar panels, its infrastructure produced unacceptable power and cooling requirements. Find out how AISO leveraged AMD technology to overcome their challenge in this case study white paper.
In this whitepaper, Scalar explores the opportunity to change the landscape with respect to mission critical databases
built around Oracle. Leveraging technologies such as Linux, high-end commodity processing power and Oracle RAC
technology to architect, design, build and maintain database infrastructure that delivers maximum availability, reliability
and performance at a fraction of traditional cost.
On a typical day, weather.com, the Web site for The Weather Channel in Atlanta, serves up between 15 million and 20 million page views. But in September 2004, when back-to-back hurricanes ransacked Florida, the peak traffic on one day more than tripled: over 70 million page views by more than 7 million unique visitors. Read the full success story now.
