Sorry to be spoilsport, I like the thought experiment, but I'm really going to need a shape complex enough that the math falls into the "I know I don't know how to solve this" category so I can stop feeling uncomfortable with the duk/dA, where uk is known unknowns.
That's okay, just pretend that my rectangle is an infinite 6-dimensional sphere and that the circle is a finite 6-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold. Does that make you less uncomfortable?
I love science, but it always seems like I know less than yesterday.
This is, in fact, usually true. As the saying goes, "The more you know, the more you know you don't know." If you picture the sum of all knowledge as a rectangle and the sum of your knowledge as a circle inside that rectangle, the boundary of that circle represents what you know that you don't know. As the circle grows, so does the boundary and your awareness of how little we actually understand. Sorry for the long-winded exposition on your comment; I just find that concept fascinating.
Then if you plan on reselling the game, don't attach it to a battle.net account that you use for other Blizzard games you're not selling. Set up an account with only SC2 on it. Hell, when you sell it, you probably won't even have to send them the media, as they could probably download it from Blizzard themselves, like you can with WoW.
How about miles per pound of carbon dioxide emission?
Because most people don't care about that.
Or, or in addition, miles per PRIMARY unit of energy input?
Because it's a hybrid, using two sources of energy input. Making two efficiency ratings would just confuse people. People want to hear a MPG estimate. It's easy for them. MPG, miles per tank, dollars per gallon: these are the values people care about.
Given that it is the expansion of the galaxy that causes the creation of matter, it makes sense that smaller, more active galaxies would be able to create new stars.
I don't know how to respond to this statement. This is the tenth time I've written something before erasing it to start over to sound less inflammatory. I guess I'd just like a citation to this "theory" of the diffusion of matter begetting more matter. It sounds like some whacked-out solid state universe theory.
They are locking... lasers... sir. - Lt. Cmd. Worf
Sorry for the OT, but I believe that quote came from the episode "The Outrageous Okona", which makes it said by Lieutenant Worf, not Lieutenant Commander Worf. I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to take your geek card. I'll be departing my parents' basement in approximately three weeks for my monthly Cheetos and Red Bull trip, I will collect it then.
It's worse than that. I recently explained to a friend lamenting the same thing--no epic flyer yet--that it takes damn-near active laziness to not be able to buy your artisan riding skill after a month at 80. You can make at least 100g just from spending 15 minutes doing the four Argent Tournament chapmion's dailies.
Replace your chair with one of those inflatable balance balls. Make yourself work to sit upright. Also, if you drink ice-cold water throughout the day, your body burns calories to keep your body temperature constant--it's not much, but the little things like that you can do will add up to keep the weight off.
And don't use metabolism as a cop-out, God knows more than a few of us have done it in the past. It's all about how much you really care to lead a healthy life.
I especially like the triad of concepts at the top of the logo: Distraction, Comfort, Sedation. Sounds like the perfect date-rape process. For the record, IANAR.

And to the arrogant tit who was "baffled as to what's going on in your head", the grammer's not that difficult!
Niether is the spelling.
Hell, I laughed out loud at that one. For those not in on the joke:
Peter Jennings is dead.

WHAT? When did 2.0 come out? I'm still on TinFoilHat 1.4...
See, I knew you were going to say that.
Excused. I'm going to go do my dailies.

Sorry for the self-reply. I meant steady-state universe.

The article leaves a lot to be desired. Can anyone explain why it is that insulin's attracted to diamonds, or more specifically, nanodiamonds?
Apart from the "insulin = women" comments we're sure to get, I'm seriously wondering why.
The Aristocrats!
So they're anchoring the algorithm in real-world data? Truly groundbreaking...

I guess that's the way I see it in my head. Probably because I'm former military and used to writing acronyms, even if this isn't one.
Adjudication accepted, you're right.
See #4.
Nope. Usually an obsessive-compulsive F5 finger on the homepage works.
Jinks, you owe me a coke.
