What I would relish though is a magazine reader like a 17" touch screen iPad, but one with the smoothness of display of the iPad and the ease on the eyes of the liquidInk of the Kindle.
I WANT this.
I want it for reading PDFs of programming manuals, for reading beautiful magazines, for browsing beautiful coffee table books in digital format.
Here's what happened in chronological order where objects moved on their own. And no, I didn't drink or do drugs when I was 15.
About to walk into the right bay of the garage, where the ceiling was a white stucco ceiling and the walls were white, a 3 inch rusty nail fell out of the ceiling (there were no exposed nails in the ceiling), stopped 3 feet from the ground, flew horizontally across the room to the garage divider two feet away from me, bounced off a box with a thunk, hit the floor with a ping and disappeared.
The repairman working in the room that lead to the attic above the garage ran out of the house and told us not to call him again. He was listening to country music and the radio station with a rotary mechanical dial (1970's radio) changed stations. The only way for this to happen was to manually turn the dial.
My father walked in to the garage. Nail fell out of the ceiling, stopped falling about 3 feet from the ground, flew across the room, hit a wall, hit the floor and dis not disappear. My father picked up the nail and held it in his hands.
Me, garage again. Nail again.
My father was sitting on the john and the wastebasket flew across the room without him touching it.
I was sleeping and woke, hearing three footsteps come in to the room. No impressions could be seen on the carpet, but I heard the boards creak as someone was walking. Yeah, not impressive, many answers for what could cause that.
I was sleeping and woke, and looked over at my closet. The closet doors were wobbling like the guy's stomach in the Pepto Bismol commercials of the early '80s. This is not physically possible, but I saw it with my own eyes.
There were other strange things that happened, but I forget the details to some of them and though creepy, are not involving concrete objects. Other friends had problems with their pets not coming on to the property, even if dragged on by a leash. Lots of other, less concrete events occurred, but the physical objects moving right in front of our eyes are the events that are least open to misinterpretation.
All I've seen are the cases where he says that supernatural stuff can't exist.
And your reply is my point exactly. Based on the rules of science, we can't reproduce things that are real but are beyond our means to control. That doesn't mean that they are not real. It's that science can't be the means to identify them.
So, what else do we have that is legit then to help narrow them down? Nothing that I know of. I lived through some pretty scary stuff, but I can't call it up at a whim, or at all. It's completely out of my control, but I lived through it and had witnesses at the time.
I'm printing this thread out and framing it. It will be hung above the easterly sitting room above the Rembrandts, where it shall prominently be displayed, as is my wont.
I wish I got a word in. See, I'm a very scientific person with an actual degree in this "Science" stuff. Yet, I realize that science falls short in explaining that which can't be quantified, measured, or repeated.
As a 15 year old young man, I did live in a house where things moved, occasionally right in front of our eyes. Thankfully, it was only for a one year, and I have never experienced such disturbing events again.
At least four other people (all men) also witnessed these events within our house.
Of course, after leaving, I found out that there was a violent relationship (and death) in the house. It's like some imprint was left on the place and there was a constant hostility towards all men within the house. When you see 3 inch nails flying across a room, more than once, that sends a message.
Though James Randi is very much against supernatural things, I wonder if he is able to admit that there are things that we do not have the disciplines to explain yet?
Part of scientific thinking is that "I don't know" is a perfectly good answer for that which science can not yet measure or identify.
Really. This stuff did happen to me, my father, two friends and a repairman.
Pick up trash. Mow lawns. Sort trash to determine recyclables. Fix potholes. Paint over graffiti. Repair underground infrastructure - gas and water pipes. Detect leaks in underground infrastructure. Remediate contaminated soil.
I saw this in part of San Francisco. There would be these hovering flies (not houseflies) that would circle and hover while darting back and forth over small distances.

When the FUCK can we get rid of end of line semicolons and the ugly curly braces?
If we need new symbols to designate concepts, then let's create a font for them and map them on to a keyboard.
But really, those chars simply need to die.
Lame. Lame and gay.
order "the Irish" to stop drinking.
I'm sure this will be a task of commensurate feasibility.
Yeah, but think of all the fish!
Jesus, can we name it something else than a word that starts with "grok"?
That's such an ugly sounding word.
FIRE BAD! GLORG SAD!
I hear the previous universe had more puppies too.
Especially at the atomic scale.

it is my duty to state that the only way to properly address Russian initiative this is to invade another country.
operating a vehicle containing children, parents or a girlfriend constitutes distracted driving.
How was I had?
What "had" me?

See, it's that exact case that I'd love to have a video camera monitor from a difference.

Smithers! Release the hounds!
I think with what the Indian team did to it, it's been dead for a long time.
There's a billion dollar prize.
"Theres" isn't a word.
You're typing for other people to read. Don't be lazy. Use the apostrophe when it's required. There's no excuse.
As a former member of both the Director and Director Shockwave teams, death to Flash, indeed.

Remediate contaminated soil.
So many options.
He promised it to me.
I HATE what Apple is doing to the Mac OS. I run Snow Leopard and only use Mountain Lion in VMWare emulation for Xcode.
Apple is the only company that's going to kill the Mac and they're doing a hell of a good job with that, trying to push iOS onto the desktop.
Mountain Lion: more animated crap that I can't turn off and a dumbed down user interface that I simply don't want to use.
it's = it is

Completely different method of navigation.
that's what the whiskers on cats, rats and dogs are for. They are sensors for what they are about to bump into.
You do know that that had bee proposed for cows, right?
