Depending on their reading habits that should last them at least a 20 days, and hopefully more like a few monts. I read the Mission: Earth Series in a week when I read it because it was that good IMO.

If they have not read them yet, there is of course Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It is too bad The Movie sucked the sweat off a dead man's balls, because the books were GREAT

You might also consider som Isaac Asimov such as I, Robot and/or Foundation

Just my $.02...Hope it helps, because I am now being forced by slashdot to add more characters to this post because apparently creating a good list with appropriate links is a bad idea here.

Just ignore the rest below here:

When I was a preteen girl I loved books by William Sleator. It was only years later that I realized how technologically/scientifically advanced they were-- at the time I just loved the stories. My favorites were The Boy Who Reversed Himself (which to this day shapes how I think about 4+ dimensional geometry) and House of Stairs (which I forgot about completely until I was in Psych 101 and then had to track it down and reread it), though they were all good; great plots and characters and cool SciFi. I can't vouch for anything written after about 1990.

Audio -- the only decent 5.1 audio solutions for the Mini are USB or Firewire hardware from M-Audio. The cheapest one I could find that does proper AC3 passthrough was something like $80-$100, and it was just some cheezy little USB thing!

Last year I bought myself a Creative Soundblaster MP3+ (paid around $42 US then, its $36 now with FREE ship). The device works great with my iBook G4 and provides me with 1/8", 2 RCA, and OPTICAL inputs and outputs. When connected to the iBook it doesn't require any drivers and all the outputs are recognized under Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4.

Here's the link to the Creative Sounblaster MP3+ on Amazon.com:

Weird! I sold my copy of Led Zep's remasters a week before building the theremin. I'll be disappointed if the version of Whole Lotta Love on there had the theremin on it. I hadn't noticed it. Still, the money I got from selling it went towards this which has some amazing theremin playing. I had no clue I was simply exchanging one theremin track for another!

Windows 3.1 was designed not to work right with DR DOS.

Yes, Microsoft did it on purpose.

Mind Wide Open summarized this pretty well. Active scans of people working on a problem or engaged in a specific endeavor have shown repeatedly that extra brain activity is not a good thing. It means you're floundering. The more activity the worse you're doing. Your best results are when just that tiny minimum necessary bit of the brain lights up.

Thinking of several pronounced introverts I know I'd have to say this applies; sure they're thinking a lot, but what they're doing is obsessing on little problems and turning them into full-blown crises which they can mull over and over again for maximum horrorific effect.

Of course there are real introverted geniuses. I guess they just channel it better.

At least it's not a braid...

Beatles-Beatles attempt at politicizing this seems off: Bush I and Bush II also appear to be introverts.

Your reply was filled with so many misunderstandings of what I typed that I don't know where to begin. Let's just stick to your talking points.

a) Porn is addictive. Show me a valid study to that effect. I have seen anecdotal evidence trotted out time and time again but that no more proves the addictiveness of porn than does the anecdotes about exploding toilets prove the life-threatening nature of chili.

That is just silly. People reporting of porn addiction shouldn't be dismissed the same as Bigfoot sighters or alien abductees. Here are a few links for you:

I would also point out that your assertion about educational phamplets: "Educational pamphlets don't help heroin addicts and they won't help porn addicts either." is way off. Yes some hardcore addicts ignore all else but that doesn't mean that all do. The ex heroin addicts that I have known are, in large part, walking educational phamplets themselves, and ten minutes discussion with one of them did more to illuminate the problems with heroin than any drug-free education I got as a child.

None of the drug addicts I have known have been reached by pamphlets. You only make my point by showing how much more effective talking to actual addicts is as opposed to drug-free pamphlets and D.A.R.E. t-shirts. Extend the same respect to "anecdotal" victims of porn addiction.

b) Kids today are experimenting with kinkier stuff Again, show me proof not anecdotes. While I will grant you that people seem more comfortable talking about kinkier stuff on TV than they were 50 years ago that proves nothing about what is actually happening.

More people are comfortable talking about kinkier stuff but not because they are doing it? The papers are filled with high schoolers having oral sex on school grounds all across the country. That didn't happen so often ten years ago. I certainly never read about it. http://news.google.com/news?client=safari&rls=en&i e=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=bus+oral+sex&sa=N&start= 10 We're also having a rash of female teachers across the country having sex with young boys, also something that didn't happen often 10 years ago. A study on teenagers and sex was just released this Fall: http://thesplinteredmind.blogspot.com/2005/10/teen -depression-sex-drugs-and-shockin.html

c) The industry is getting more hardcore Again give me some average data. The last time I glanced at a Playboy (for the articles) was last week and the model in there was...Marylin Monroe. Playboy was celebrating the oldies not the awful hardcore days of

I just started reading "The Wisdom of Crowds" tonight. One of the first questions in my mind was, "Can a crowd create art? What happens if people get to vote on brush-strokes & color?" Looks like this website is an interesting experiment on that idea.

Funny, I just finished The Wisdom of Crowds, a book I picked up on a whim at Costco (not Amazon, but linking is easier). Summary - pretty much; A bunch of people looking out for their own interests, makes the world a better place.

How this applies to creating a picture on a computer screen, I dunno... what's in it for me?

Of course, that wise philosopher George Carlin said "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" So, I don't know where that leaves us...

This is the exact reason that Lex Luthor keeps superman around.

What does a book by Albert Camus have to do with numb hands?

Amazon Says Otherwise.

In reality, if you shop around, you can probably find OEM versions cheaper, and of course the big OEMs get it for even less. The average person though will most likely goto OfficeMax, BestBuy, Staples, or some other retail outlet, and pay full price. Then again, the average person probably isn't building their own computer either.

It is a highly anthropomorphic point of view that traditional space colonization or info-colonization are the paths that will be taken by advanced civilizations. These are concepts based on the relatively limited perspective of a few thousand years of human civilization and even shorter periods of infotech environments. It seems (to me) much more likely that advanced civilizations will replicate through a process similar to the self-replication process one sees in single cells (e.g. bacteria) and not the infectious parasite process one sees with viruses. The problem is that self-replication of advanced civilizations requires extremely close encounters between the developed resource (presumably a solar system, mega-ship or mega-intelligence like a Matrioshka Brain) with a resource of similar or greater mass & energy capacity. Such a resource should be largely undeveloped (like our solar system but much more likely regions of space where new stars are being created). This allows for self-replication over sub-light-year distances. Given the high energy/mass cost of navigating entire solar systems or mega-ships/intelligences as well as the common trajectories of natural objects in our galaxy such "close encounters" are very infrequent (occuring only over millions to billions of years).

(And for those of you who doubt navigating solar systems is feasible you need to go read related papers by Dyson or Criswell.)

William Gibson gave me goosebumps in Neuromancer with something along these lines (don't want to completely spoil it for anyone). Who knows what kinda binary garbage we are spouting out there that another species could pick up. NASA shoots programs to its probes all over the place. That stuff could be intercepted and analyzed. So could some of the actual hardware itself. That stuff gets lost/abandoned all the time. I think the odds are very remote that anything sinister could happen to us, but the guy in TFA has a point, and it would not be impossible for some alien species who may already be in this neck of the woods to access our hardware/software, grok it and infiltrate our systems.

Or just make your own healthy food, for hackers and slackers alike.

My mouse may not have a power on/off switch but it gets remarkable battery life. I think the new laser mice are more efficient than their LED predecessors.

While there is no way to conclusively prove scientific theories, your confusion is explored in the book, The China Study . The author uses good science and takes a look at a range of related studies, the methodology of nutritional research today and historically, and the dubious sources of funding for much of nutritional research. The title of the book is somewhat misleading, as The China Study itself is merely the most recent study in the book and only one chapter is dedicated to it. Although the findings are mentioned throughout and the appendix goes into more detail.

The short story:

1) Animal protein is consistently linked as the primary enabler for diseases of affluence such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Both in epidemiological studies and biochemically.

2) Studies that attempt to reduce nutrition to the study of individual compounds will never be able to provide a clear picture of health because there are a myriad of compounds in foods that have a combinatorial effect on health.

3) Physicians in the United States are only required to take approximately ~20 hours on nutrition in a classroom (that's time actually sitting there) . That is less than half a regular college course. And most often that course is wholly unrelated to overall health and more of a review on protein synthesis and nutrient absorption which most biology undergrads already get.

4) The Dairy, Beef, Pork, and Egg consortiums are large, powerful, and highly consolidated. They also fund almost all of the studies on nutrition at research institutions in the United States. Coincidentally, they therefore get to pick what is researched or at least which projects they will fund. Saying "there's a $1 million grant for anyone using milk on a calcium study" will quickly get you a researcher that needs some scratch.

5) Studies done exclusively in the United States or Europe such as the famous Nurses Study are flawed because the vast majority of westerners eat a western diet that is at the high end of meat and fat consumption. Even vegetarians in western countries have a nutritional profile that is "western" in comparision to other countries where heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are nonexistent.

This story is yet another example of how studying nutrients in reduction can only lead to inconclusive or misleading results. For example, even though this chemical in beer may kill cancer in a lab rat if a pure dose is given to it, what happens when rats are fed beer in those quantities? Alcoholism, liver cancer, throat cancer, overweight, dead. This is merely a drug effect for the creation of some new novelty drug that probably has some other side effect. Yet the headline reads like an endorsement to go out and drink beer! No, there's no such thing as cerrosis of the liver. Those alcoholics aren't killing themselves, they're healthier than Lance Armstrong!

What!? This isn't offtopic, the original poster just got the phrase wrong, he is refering to Molly Ivin's book "Who let the Dogs in: Incredible Political Animals I have Known." It's a masterpiece that discusses matters such as Bill Gates's lobbying and the effect it has had on governments around the world, among many other things.

BLOCKED! You bastard!

-

Well, I also added a wiki entry for Sean Paul - The Trinity awhile back too, which is a little more popular, and it's still around. Granted, it's not exceedingly negative (I just noted that the track listing is a little off) and the CD isn't the #1 best seller, so you could certainly be right.

Here!, Thanks to link to (interestingly enough) Wikipedia.

Actually, I think the feature was already up when Jack vs Amazon was discussed, and the comments in the wiki wasn't really flattering at the time. Specifically, link to Wikipedia article which describes in excruciating detail, yet pretty fairly, what a nutball Jack is =) I think it's the same comment it has now.

Like this?

If you've bought a CD through Amazon.com which is copy controlled, this is a good opportunity to tag it as such by leaving a note in the wiki. For example, I did this here - nothing inflammatory, just a friendly note for others who are thinking about buying the CD. This is information that I personally would like to know before deciding to purchase a CD, and I expect some others here feel the same.

I am an audio engineer and have a (4 year BS) degree in recording.

In college I specifically took a class about high-end audio. It was divided into critical listening and "audiophile" topics.

Essentially there are some differences in technology. ICs DO indeed sound more harsh and shrill than tubes which of course sound warmer but not as "bright". Also the quality of the internal components have an effect as well. This of course is in terms of an analog signal. Once a signal becomes "digital" then unless bits are lost, the components don't really effect the quality of the sound (assuming the D/A converters are not hosed).

CDs of course sound different than audio. This is primarily due to quantization error in the sampling process. Essentially they are only 16 bits which means 96 (or 98) dB of dynamic range. But there is also some distortion that happens which isn't directly audiable, but we do tend to "precieve" or "sense" it anyway. This of course assumes we are listening critically at it.

When CDs originally came out, they were still being mastered with the same technique as vinyl. Vinyl has the RIAA curve applied to it in order to save physical space on the platter and then the curve is de-applied upon playback with an RIAA approved device. Well, CD players don't have that reverse RIAA curve, so a lot of these first CDs sounded like ass because all of their low end was nixed. That tended to give a very very bad taste in the mouths of audiophiles.

I don't buy into the $500 cable thing, but it can be proven that you get what you pay for. If you use a $20 cable from radio shack it might not be as high as quality as a $40 or $70 cable. I have personally never heard the difference between a "professional" cable and an "audiophile" cable but I know people who swear by that stuff. The only thing I can chalk it up to is that maybe we don't fully understand how we precieve or sense audio and sound.

BTW, the book which was our "textbook" for that class at http://www.mtsu.edu/~record/ was The Complete Guide to High-End Audio:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0964084961/002-70 81894-1600862?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v =glance

The book was half and half - half was a bunch of audiophile garbage, and the other half was fact and the science and technology of audio. A good read if you want to learn more about sound and modern audio technology.

At least - I'm in the middle of reading Harrison Schmitt's latest book - Return to the Moon - which goes into this in some detail. And no need for nuclear powered rockets, though he does seem to think something a bit bigger than the old Saturn V would help.

Lumping the Disclosure Project with Scientology is a fine example of how to quash critical thought on the matter of UFO's and the reality of intelligent beings in the universe. Scientology was the dream of a science fiction writer to convince the easily swayed via indoctrination of falsities for profit. Yes, there are many in the UFO field that do this too, but not the Disclosure Project. They are a nonprofit organization merely attempting to provide truth. The difference should be obvious. If "...over 400 government, military, and intelligence community witnesses testifying to their direct, personal, first hand experience with UFOs, ETs, ET technology, and the cover-up that keeps this information secret." isn't enough to even lift an eyebrow, then I would suggest reading "UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology of a Coverup, 1941-1973" by Richard M. Dolan and Jacques F. Vallee. An astounding book based merely on research of our governments own statements, documents, etc... showing that there is far more knowledge in this area than many who simply consider anyone who has done the research and realize the possibility of the reality of UFO's and the enormous impact it would have on all humanity as... "demented". That's an ignorant and very easy thing to say. Bravo. I would not consider you stupid, just ignorant. I wonder if I could do the same and do nothing more than merely call you demented for commenting on something you know nothing about and get modded up. Probably not...

You mean the 3-cylinder engine which can't drive up a hill? "No one drives alone because they might encounter a hill?"

(no, I didn't look it up and the only times I've been outside of the US have been to Canada - I just remember reading about it a long, long time ago - before I connected to the 'net about twenty years ago - in Time or Newsweek)

Count me as someone who knows.


I'm surprised no one has mentioned the working paper clock advertised in the back of science magazines for many years.
