He does make good point in that there are often solutions to engineering problems that come from completely different fields. Those solutions may be already mass produced, which gives added layer of security to design.
In other words, rocket science doesn't always have to be rocket science.

What we need to learn about is reason, science and logic; the very things that are NOT intuitive.
Intuition - we already got.
Funny also how he mentions that he got into the topic because cops jumped to the conclusion he was a bad guy 'cause he was a longhair.
The shroud image is thought to be evidence of the Ressurection of Christ.
There is no debate that the man existed, the religious significance is "was Jesus Christ the Devine son of God?"
Final point: Nova did a special on the shroud some time ago. There had been a NASA team who had scanned the shroud image, applied a 3D filter to it, and generated a pretty life-like computer image of the face. This was touted by some as further evidence that the image was genuinely produced from a real face.
The Nova team paid an artist/graduate student to use material of the dated period and paint an image from a photo on cloth. They had her faked image scanned, and guess what, one heck of an image!

If this rumor is true, I hope that the designers took the time to integrate a seamless desktop&office apps contact/calendar metaphor. They should reside on the desktop, be easiliy accessed from any application that would benefit from it, and sync/share in logical fashion.
MS office's entourage/contact/calendar is okay, but doesn't play well outside the suite. Apples address book/ical/isync/mail gets some of it right but doesn't work well with office apps for example.
Okay, I admit I'm not a legit geek; here's what I don't get:
1) you are johnjones@mydomain.com 2) you want to order from amazon, and want the email confirmation. 3) if you give dummy@mydomain.com, which you filter at the hosted server, you won't get your comfirmation unless you are checking out the "dummy" filtered box. 4) how is this better than having a good filter on johnjones@mydomain.com, and just giving that to amazon in the first place?
or I am completely unclear on the concept of what you mean by "mailinator address"
I'm a dues paying ACS member, have been for 10 years. I have never once used Scifinder scholar, I have found the ACS literature searching to "suck" and I avoid using their site. "pubmed" is much better.
The main problem with any of these is that you can find abstracts, but generally have to pay $25 dollars for the PDF. What bugs me about that is much of the research is publically funded, why should the general public have to pay for the paper when we funded the research?
Up down buttons without visual feedback (as pictured in the posted links)?
Seems difficult to get good random access to songs that way.
Audio feedback seems to be too slow to be useful, and spoken commands are a non-starter for me: I have this option on my Acura navigation system: a recent example of how this works:
Me: "nearest gas station"
Navi: "remove gas stations"
Me: shouting, "NO, DISPLAY gas stations"
Navi: "remove gas stations"
This is on a $40k vehicle. I wouldn't expect a whole lot better on a $200 personal electronic gizmo.
The recipient country is ultimately responsible for the regulatory environment in which the plant operates. The plant had lax procedures in place because they could.
India, China, and other pacific rim countries hopefully learned the lessons of this and other industrial tragedies.
when a company starts measuring work performance in terms of hours on the job, just walk away. It is a dead end. Unless you are talking about menial production tasks.
WTF difference does it make how many hours you spent on something? It is of course the results that matter.
When someone start talking about how many hours they spent doing X, they obviously suck at it/hate it.
look at it the other way - if no one's trying to sue you, then you probably are way below their radar screen and not making much penetration into the market.

how'd it manage to turn out all of us?
I have kids in public school now, and I know that the system is okay. Kids today are okay. No need to panic on this issue.
BTW, Bill "why would a PC ever need more than 64k of RAM?" Gates is no visionary.
There are of course limits to any analogy.

2) All the numb-nuts are embolded, and feel free to push their twisted agenda onto the masses, because they "know what is moral and rightous"

Ohio, we counted on you to have some courage and vote conscientiously. But, you failed us.
BTW, funny how Senator Dumbshit isn't griping about Viagra TV commercials every 5 minutes. I guess those BigPharma checks did some good as well.

"Everything Halo does has been done before, especially in Quake"
Halo was based upon marathon, a mac original that primiered in '94.
Quake didn't show up until a couple of years later.
Doom may have been concurrent, but could'nt have preceeded Marathon by much.
So, let's give Halo it's due; it has legitimate claim to the FPS genre.
dude, you nailed it.
UCSD, come clean, you already know the conclusions.
A computer "ecosystem" dominated by Windows is not only bad economics, but also a fragile, infection prone scenario.
Do the world a favor and use the $ to donate macs and linux boxes to the Windows-clinging masses.

Assuming most people are dumb shits, the Hollywood way.
If your dumb (and just think your smart) you'll need it.
if you are really are smart, you'll quickly find out that means shit, and you'll still need to work hard.
