<div>Some time ago I've written a tool to set your personal 28h day schedule: http://28h.t-animal.de Give it a try :) [[Special:Contributions/131.188.30.76|131.188.30.76]] 00:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Can the tool be used on your mom? [[Special:Contributions/69.211.56.17|69.211.56.17]] 23:40, 10 October 2013 (UTC)<br />

Uncanny, I've actually been up since 3am, today (Wednesday... at least I ''think'' it's Wednesday), which closely matches this comic that I've just coincidentally passed through while browsing. Of course the reasons for this are different (it's too hot, and my seasonal hay-fever isn't helping me sleep either, and it's just crept over 17 hours of daylight, at this latitude).<br />
<br />
And I can additionally attest from some (also unrelated) experiments in personal day-lengthening, several years back, that doing this long-term ''can'' cause noticable problems, even when planning several days ahead to ensure you synch up (or at least mesh compatibly) with various forthcoming appointments and commitments.

I removed the Incomplete tag. I don't really see how this explanation could go much further, apart from citing some semi-reputable sources confirming that the 28-hour day is not just one of Randall's thought experiments. It is notable enough for many things, but unfortunately not its own Wikipedia article, so background checks need to be done. Maybe I should put that Incomplete tag back, in retrospect... --[[User:Quicksilver|Quicksilver]] ([[User talk:Quicksilver|talk]]) 20:01, 21 August 2013 (UTC)<br />
:So then please add a trivia explaining the people from JPL working for MSL. If you do not understand you can ask me.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 22:02, 21 August 2013 (UTC)</div>69.211.56.17https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:504:_Legal_Hacks&diff=50354Talk:504: Legal Hacks2013-10-10T22:41:20Z<p>69.211.56.17: </p>

<div>While RSA is mentioned as a cryptographic mechanism whose "munitions" status was fought over, yours truly considers the whole of PGP's fight (and its original ''1st'' Amendment idea to get around the restrictions) as the archetype of this kind of export battle. Never did get me one of the alleged T-shirts with the souce-code printed on, that were supposed to be going around in 1991-ish, though...<br />
<br />
So, anyway, that's something using the 1st Amendment, something using the 2nd Amendment... So how can we theoretically fight the issue via the right not to have soldiers quartered in one's home? ;) [[Special:Contributions/178.107.63.150|178.107.63.150]] 23:39, 5 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

Every time I see the 2nd Amendment in text... that one comma. That first comma doesn't belong. I think they were trying to write, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, ''will always have the right to bear arms''" but then they got distracted or changed their mind and just forgot that the comma was there. I'm not usually that much of a grammar nazi, but that's the freaking ''Constitution!'' --[[Special:Contributions/69.211.56.17|69.211.56.17]] 22:41, 10 October 2013 (UTC)</div>69.211.56.17
