Interesting, but the McVeigh article is absolutely worthless, telling *about* McVeigh's plans. Check out the wicked drawings, an example of which is http://www.worldnetdaily.com/images/mcveighsketch2.jpg. The plans basically say, "There were some barrels with stuff in them, and he set the fertilizer/nitro-methand mixture off with some explosives."
Mathematica is an interpreted language, so of course it's going to be considerably slower than a compiled one.
*However*, there are ways to drastically speed up one's code in Mathematica (sometimes compiling functions or modules, using functional methods rather than procedural methods, using Range[] arithmetic, etc.).
for some reason being in water saps the heat out of you much more quickly than air will.
That's part of one of the reasons, but there are others a bit more important:
The most important reason is the huge heat capacity of water: you can shove a little bit of heat into a given mass of air, and it'll warm up a huge amount, very quickly, to the point that it's often very very near the temperature of whatever it's in contact with (and no more heat, on average, will flow into it once it's at the same temperature as the heretofore warmer thing). However, if you do the same thing with the same mass of water, the water will just keep sucking more and more heat from whatever is warmer than it, as it will take much longer to heat up (generally).
The density argument is *somewhat* applicable, because it means that a given patch of skin will be in contact with a lot more water than it will with air, and so there's better thermal conductivity away from that patch of skin. However, that's the only thing I can see which would connect density to this issue -- the specific heat capacity of gold (at 19.3 times as dense as water) is only about 3% of that of water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacit y
Yes, I got one of these two days ago, on the same day that I got a Cruzer Mini (for work). The PQI I-stick wasn't recognized in Win2k, no matter what I did, wasn't consistently mountable in linux, and kept crashing my WinXP machine. It may have been an anomalously bad little piece of hardware, but that's ridiculous.
I think you should pick up one of these "word processors" and use their grammer checker, or at the very least, put a couple commas in there for us folk that can't read run-on sentences too well.
The truth is we're going to need a reasoning engine like http://opencyc.org/ before we're going to be able to handle realistic conversations realistically.

Dude, NO! You're going to start finding that her allocated disk space is growing, and that yours is shrinking. Only later will you realize that it's because she needs more room for her hot girl-on-girl porn collection. Save yourself the trouble and restrict her access!

It's just because those screenshots show that the default wallpaper looks like a prison fence. Sobibor, anyone?

Documents have typos. Film at 11.
I think you misspelled "10". Our dials don't go up that high.

OMG, Ottawa and Texas in the same sentence...mwfff...i think i'm going to be sick . . .
Hmm... Let me guess -- you're not from Texas?

Oh, gods. It's just too easy.
You know, I just can't see it.
Ah-hah! Your mom was right!

I went to the website you suggested, and I'd like my eyesight back now. If that was fit for human consumption... ouch.

Careful -- they might mean "breasts".
Best theoretical college in physics and engineering. Best. In the world. Period.
OK, so does it have a big sticker on the front doors? Really, have we learned nothing lately?

God's story has not changed, our interpretation of it has.
How is this different if you substitute "evolution's" for "God's", or *anything* against which you're railing in favour of "God"?
Which would you rather have, eyesight or an orgasm? :)

For some reason, pasty kids with glasses have to deal with people copying off their papers a lot.
Huh. You had it easy. In GB and Michigan, pasty kids have to deal with people coming up and trying to eat them all the time.
