Britney Spears' Guide to Semiconductor Physics (2007)

Around the time this website was made, I was building an application for a big company in Spain that was to run as a Java applet and required the code to be signed. They did not yet have their own certificates so I had to make my own CA during testing and sign the code, and I wanted to make sure that they did not forget to switch to their certificates later, so instead of signing the code with my…

> It is a little known fact, that Ms Spears is an expert in semiconductor physics. On one hand, it's definitely a joke, but on the other, Offspring frontman Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology and Queen guitarist Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics, so it's not like famous musicians can't be highly educated in the sciences.

Ha, I am surprised to see that page on HN. I remember finding this way back in 2002, after making my own "Quick and Dirty Preview of Solid State Physics". I had to make this site for a seminar class. Basically each student had to present on some general physics topic and then make a webpage for it. http://www.pha.jhu.edu/~jeffwass/2ndYrSem/slide1.html Made me realise after coming across the Britney Spears page, the brilliance of basing a potentially dry academic presentation around a…
