Before you start looking for prior art you need to know when the patent was applied for...And did they purchase the patent from someone else?
From the article:
This column is about U.S. patent 5,933,841, which was granted to the old Ameritech phone company in 1999, and is now owned by Ameritech's acquirer,SBC Communications...patent exists and was applied for on May 17, 1996.
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
I'm not some pool expert, but did anybody see the picture on that article giving an explanation on how all that works?
The laser is supposedly showing the path of white ball which seems to me as if it is being hit straight on, then the white ball colides with the yellow ball (ball 1) which takes off at a completely different angle. Should we call this the "magic pool shot?"
Newton's First Law: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Honestly, the show is good and if you tape them (like I did) and watch them back to back (like I also did) you can get the effect of watching a movie, provided you edited out the commercials (like I did as well.)
The whole Simpsons series is slightly less than 60Gigs on mpeg (with commercials edited out).
Too bad about your dad and his nail clippers. Guess both of you missed the notices banning them from airplanes.
I was at the Oakland International airport just last month. I walked into the very first store _after_ passing through the security check point for some souvenirs. The first thing I saw was a rack full of nail clippers, razors, and other items I thought were not allowed. So, I'm a little confused. =T

funny you should mention that. they were hacked just last weekend...
maybe this recent hack is what motivated the post. duh?
not the first law, but the second law:
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
