I've read some ideas that the laws of physics weren't completely established when the universe was forming, which allowed some weird stuff to happen. Quite difficult to really study an idea like that, I'd imagine.
Everyone is selling something. It doesn't matter how much you know, it matter how much you can convince someone else you know. This has been true since the beginning of time, and will be true as long as humans walk the Earth. Ideally, people in hiring positions would develop their own social skills to a level where they could interact with an engineer who has little to no social skills, but technical skills and social skills will always be a killer combination.
Humans are social animals. Most of our great achievements are because of our ability to work together in teams. To be included in a group, you need to demonstrate that you understand the 'rules' of that group.
I usually sit on a towel. Carrying it around got to be too much of a hassle though, so I sewed it into a pattern that just stays on my butt all day. I call it: pants.
If you read chapter 4, you'll find out that leaving out a few words here and there is a great way to make your presentation more concise. You were already advanced in this area, and didn't even realise it!
Umm, you provided no context to the comment you made in a discussion about the Bunsen Burner. If not having telepathic abilities makes you class someone as special, then you must think you're surrounded by idiots.
They're patented, which means that the details are out there for anyone to look at. In 20 years, when those patents expire it will be a free for all of people doing what they like with them.
An alternative involves people not sharing what they've done, then dieing, having told no-one the of the secrets they learned.
I'm glad that they don't share too much information, and only release stuff when it's really necessary. If I were somehow affected by a crime being investigated, I wouldn't want to have to submit to a complete loss of privacy to have a chance at justice.
How did the juror know that the online dictionary was accurate? Was it a word that has a specific meaning in a courtroom context, but another meaning in general conversation? Was the meaning of the word the only thing the juror looked up? Why couldn't the juror have asked the lawyer to explain himself? Could the meaning of the word and the context in which it was used have been misleading in a way that could change the outcome of the case?
They pay the blood, I'll pay the treasure. This is their freedom we're talking about. The American people needed to sacrifice their blood for their freedom, the people of the former USSR needed to sacrifice a their blood for freedom.
I'm willing to meet them half-way, which is a lot more than some people would do.
Did you just admit to having a BA? I thought that was the kind of thing you'd want to keep to yourself.
Music may indeed be subjective, but playing an existing song isn't. Playing the right notes at the right time is what makes a song, if you're not playing the right notes, or if you're playing them at the wrong time, then you're not doing very good.
Also, why do they need to be qualified judges, I can tell you whether or not I like a song (didn't you say that it was subjective?) and I have bugger-all qualifications in music.
So basically you're saying that I should never do anything which might be taken as a negative mark against me. Even in ten years time, completely out of context?
I think that the idea of enforcing a 'memory' on the internet is impractical and counter to the best bits of the internet, but to do what you suggest you'd basically need to cease all interaction with people. Remember that other people can post stuff about you, even if you've never touched a computer.
I think the world is going to change the way it looks at people's pasts. No-one will be able to hide anything, so as a society we're going to have to be a lot more forgiving. I also think that a lot of this will get lost in the noise. Everyone will have dirt, so finding a particular piece of dirt against a particular person will become close to impossible.
Reminds me of a game I played in uni where there was a clue as to the next URL on each page. A quick google didn't find it, but I'm pretty sure the name had something to do with being a hacker (coz who else knows how to use an address bar?)

What a head-trip.

But the other side of that is that they *really* need to be easy to clean...

I think dinosaurs are cool.
Sometimes when I pick an option, it turns green and writes itself in, but other times it turns red and makes me pick another one.
It makes me feel like I'm not smart enough to get a subtle joke. :(

Yeah, but there are probably 3 people who preordered today for everyone who cancels their preorder.
If we can't laugh about it what else are we supposed to do?
Man, I thought I was the MAN when I got my 4 MB video card. I think that was around the Starship Troopers/Tyrian days, now those were some graphics.
Why does the state destroy the islands?
Wait, some Spanish people dragged a big gold asteroid into orbit in the 15(th?) century? I knew NASA was behind, but I had no idea how far!

Tonnes is a little ambiguous. I'd would prefer Mg.

We need more death rays.That's how to get funding.

Well, that's not the kind of thing you want to leave to amateurs.
