I have no problem to believe that suggestions and faults report of engineers where just ignored by some manager that decided that by doing so he will be in charge to build two projects (the faulty one and the possibly working one)
You know many technicians, mechanics, and repairmen have a similar complaint about engineers - really smart people who don't know a damn thing about physically working on something. The Dilbert-esque manager is a simplistic stereotype, when the problems are likely much more complicated.
But you never hear a peep when these three disparate groups understand one another and work together effectively.
I wonder what flash advertising is doing for battery life. I'd like to view a site through a notebook portal to address these 'battery life' concerns, to stop all of the moving pictures. While they are at it, web developers could put all of the text on the same page (like Tom's Hardware, not that I've been there in years...), also to extend 'battery life'.
I remember reading about wisdom teeth having stem cells inside, but not why specifically wisdom teeth. It would be nice if you could take them right home and chuck them in an EZculture-1000 or whatever it is they do.
Teeth won't fix themselves because they are colonized by bacteria, and there seems to be no way to kill it off completely long enough for the teeth to regenerate - supposedly they would otherwise. It's been so long since I've read about it... but there were a couple of things that could be done about tooth decay. There was a GM replacement of the mouth bacteria that didn't attack enamel and is presumably more robust than the prevalent strain.. and I saw something about continuously exposing the cavity with UV light, that the tooth would actually grow back. Not very practical, that one, unless you can use dvd leds and one of those phat grills to point it at your cavity.

I'll bet they got their point across..

opps, I meant geekthink
I'm looking forward to thinkgeek "kiss me, I have BC3S-L1" hats and shirts.
