One day two blondes walk into a perfume shop. The one blonde picks up a bottle of perfume that is titled "Viens Chez Moi." The blonde asks the manager what it means, and the manager says it means, "Come to Me."
So the blonde smells the perfume and asks her friend, "Does this smell like come to you? Because it doesn't smell like come to me."
Thanks for setting that up. I wrote my representative just a minute ago. It helps having just read convincing slashdot articles just before you write them.
I wouldn't mind downloading for a good week or so to get that file. Plus, you could cut out commericals, the opening scene, etc. 20 mins an epidsode. Or how about just zipping each season. 15 one gigabyte files wouldn't be all that bad. I would take the time to download them.
When the 300th Episode of the Simpsons comes out, do you guys think that someone will collect them all put them in divx format, compress them, and then start sharing them over Kazaa or something like that? Wouldn't it be cool to have 300 episodes of the Simpsons in a single zip file. Let me know what you think.
"It's much more likely the ringing comes from the air right next to the polished gong surface suddenly heating up."
Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, but I think you are mistaken. Since I just finished my college level E&M physics class, the the photon will stike the gong forcing it to vibrate.
you said:
"There's a similar confusion about what drives those "solar radiometer" things - you know, a little black-and-white paddlewheel inside an evacuated glass ball that spins when you shine a light on it? People often say the reason they run is photon momentum, when the actual explanation is that the black sides of the paddles are hotter than the white sides, so when the few gas molecules left inside the ball hit the paddles, they leave the black sides going faster than the white sides."
The reason the black moves is not because it is hotter but rather that because black absorbs light while white reflects, and if you study your momentum equations you will notice that if something absorbs an object and in another case reflects an object this will result in different forces.

The other question is what exactly does time mean for a photon?
