Sorry you missed out. Never got spit on and probably got positive feedback a surprising one in four times I wore it around just normal people out in the general public.
Speaking of lab work, laminar flow is mental torture. You have to spend the day with full alert consciousness moving your arms methodically like a mime so you don't inadvertently pass something in back of something else.
Where I work, we had a stray bullet come through a window and pass through where someone would've been sitting, had she/he not gone to lunch early that day.
Two people were stabbed to death right across the street. Two 70-year-old women, in a flower shop, during a robbery.
It was at this point I asked myself whether you worked in Baltimore (as I have). Silver Hill Road? Pretty close guess considering the size of the U.S., eh?
I never had any work related problems there but my work partner had a habit of punching commuters at stop lights who pissed him off on the way to work. So he was pretty mellow by the time he was around me.
When I worked a night shift job at a hospital central supply, they told us the gas sterilizer's mutagenic ethylene was vented outside. Stole the key to the back of the sterilizers one night and saw that the "venting" was pointing the output pipe toward a floor drain with about a foot of free space. Should have kept the job back at the bed pan washer and been happy.
I have a PanaSync c1381i from about the same era and specs on a RH9 DSL web server. Coworker got it in her divorce and probably used the accompanying 386 a couple dozen times over the decade, so it's in pretty decent shape as slow interlaced 800x600 goes. Beats the previous monitor I had on the machine which was the better of two I saw by a dumpster. Usually VNC in anyway.
Skinnable PM123 that cost a few dollars or the free but ugly ncurses OS/2 player? OS/2 had good load optimization. I could play 18-24k Real or mp3 stream and cruise dial-up in the '90s with _very_ rare stuttering.
Streaming probably from early '97 but actual downloads? Wow -- maybe three free songs for download from a Rhodes U, South Africa band called One Large Banana c. '98. Unless they were.rams.
Never have I needed to know anything about calculus, algebra, automata theory, artificial intelligence, declarative programming, or even statistics. Heck, I hardly ever use floats or do anything more complex than i++ in a for loop.
Well, OK. But I think what you are arguing is that we need more tech schools. If your goal had been to return to academia as a research professor, you would have needed the above.
I know if this hit the high school level and I were a student today, there would be unfortunate repercussions on my tender psyche. Jacques Derrida would be my new best friend and I'd be writing about the oral fixation of Harding administration corruption and Jungian syncronicity of cultural thought -- perhaps with an Hegelian touch. Total B.S., of course, but with a long and creative bibliography strung together like a spider on LSD. You want original? It would be ORIGINAL!
Haven't you seen Outland? When we get down to serious off-planet mining, we'll need some really desparate people to consider the job a positive life change.
Yeah, that's occurred to a few commentators. And it may be the only sincere motive Dubya has for this since it is pissing off both fiscal conservatives and the working class demographic who love his smirk and strut (but would really like a job, health care, fire department, police, and education for their kids too). And then there are those like me who just don't believe this is going anywhere.
But since Iraq hasn't met expectations, Dubya is now a compassionate man of peace, you know -- and this is just the peaceful thing to keep the favored corporations fat. And it's got the same vision thing his father showed when _he_ said we were going to mars -- and it worked so well then.
One of the problems is that it probably _does_ take an honest trillion. We'll have to send Diogenes off to search for honest corporations.
My wife won't let us leave for some silly, patriotic sentiments. The Canadian Declaration of Human Rights reads pretty good to me considering we don't have a lot of use for the Constitution at the moment. I'd leave in a minute for someplace with a relatively cohesive sense of community instead of the paranoid disintegration [As in: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/34776.html ] of the U.S. of A.
And, yes, coming _back_ from Canada is a lot scarier, and I think has been for many years, than entering Canada. But the frisking my wife and I got driving back from the Winnipeg Folk Festival for a short, belated honeymoon was actually pretty funny in the context of a clear conscience. Her driver's license from one city, mine from another, saying we were living in a third city, loading with camping stuff. We sat around while they went one step short of literally tearing the car apart. Saw them wave more than one carload of musicians through that I recognized from the festival while they were busy with us.
I know an Aussie/Brit U.S. resident who says U.S. Customs are the scariest people she's met on the planet. I've tried telling her they can make anybody feel that way, but I'm not sure she believes me.
This argument always reminds me of Huff's analysis of the Martingale betting system. The advocates say it is a safe bet for a progressive win. The pessimists note that there could be a catastrophic loss at the end.
In the '80s to c. '94-95, before the WWW was a household item, I had GEnie and CompuServe accounts. Albeit one of the sillier online trade names, I really liked GEnie. It seemed clear that the parent GE corporation considered it a way to sell idle computer time and didn't spend a lot on advertising. Nonetheless, they were cheaper than CompuServe and I thought the GEnie people worked hard to really deliver a good service. Combining my loyalty to GEnie with GE's $5 referral credit earned me a couple referrals.
That was motivating. And this scheme would probably motivate me too.
Don't forget, location matters. Everyone always talks about how cheap (compared to the United States) broadband is in Japan, for example. Well, of course it is! In Japan, everything is closer together
Pioneers get the arrows. Because the U.S. was at the forefront of the best phone service on the planet, NOW we have about a billion miles (literally, if I understand) of copper to dig up and replace with fiber or wireless.
What can you do in hindsight but shrug and say, "Oh, well"!
As an aside, my parents in the god-forsaken wilds of a smaller North Dakota county seat only got local dial-up about '97 and I believe that died last year. There are still parts of the country with access limitations.
QWest phone company charges about $31 for DSL but we aren't using the default Evil Empire portal and are charged another $20 for the local ISP on the credit card. In all fairness, that does include a static IP for the DSL server, local dial-up, web mail, and my typical c. 10 hrs./day of 56K Euro-trance stream as a base to whatever other downloading. No complaints so far.
With about an hour/year observed downtime over the last three years and bandwidth at or above advertised DSL, I think it is working out nicely.
Wait, how does this work, we like Nasa, and like people who support Nasa, but we don't like Bush...I don't understand?
And nothing is better than a fine steak. Hamburger is better than nothing. Therefore, hamburger is better than a fine steak.
The undeclared premise that a Bush likes NASA is highly iffy because "W" is undoubtedly as serious about Mars as Pappy was. Throw the hippies a "Startrek" bone in election year and laugh at them when they don't see the string attached to it to yank it back. (This must be confusing to people in countries where officials make five year plans and actually mean them.)
The comments about "show me the [NASA] money" are about as relevant as it gets. Not to mention that we have a couple other international "projects" on the burner right now, yes, the dollar has lost something like 15% against the euro in the last YEAR alone. But talk is cheap. Actually, I think this PR ploy is more than one sandwich short of a picnic. Not only will a lot of us simply disbelieve "W", won't the threat of this level of spending alienate conservatives who are already upset about "W"s deficit spending? At least he isn't declaring his horse President for a day.
Is this a non-starter or what? Maybe he's counting on the blueprints for Iraqi WMDs we uncovered to give us a leg up on a Mars propulsion system (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A60 340-2004Jan6.html ) the same way von Braun did in the 50s!! Or maybe Firefly got it wrong. People in the future will speak Chinese and "Euro-talk" after we disfunctionally disintegrate.

That would explain why it plays embedded for me since I have the mplayer plug-in for WM and QT -- which _was_ a good thing.

Heck, let's file a suit against the 50% mutant soybeans we're eating, the corn, etc.!
I want a transparent background. Turn the street outside into Toon Town.
Sure. Like Nixon's "War on Cancer"

Yeah. Chartreuse looks so pretty, hits you hard.
Sorry, even these guys are too expensive for the likes of me. See:

They obviously got the memo about William Gibson's Wired article about mechanical watches being a museum piece you wear.
Tried it. You have to have the attitude. They do need adjustment, springs break, and such.
But it seems like a reasonable team-building idea to me.
