In addition, some people don't do well (or do TOO well) under stress testing
Stress? I took a polygraph as part of the interview process for a three-letter government agency back in the late 80s. They put you in a very comfortable recliner & let you put your feet up -- the biggest problem I had during the test was staying awake.
Precession is just one cause of wobble -- there's also nutation and polar motion.
FWIW, I also have a BS in physics, and my first tech job was at a company that designed & manufactured gyroscopes and inertial navigation systems, so I used to know a lot more about this stuff. But that was almost 20 years (and a few million brain cells) ago.
The shortness of the test, therefore, encourages the test-taker to, respectively: misconstrue questions and jump to conclusions, consider issues only at the most shallow and superficial level, form opinions hastily, forego careful argument construction
In other words, it's perfect training for a career in management or politics.
Those of us who've been around a while may remember the S-100/IEEE-696 bus, which used this principle. I've still got a few three-terminal regulators left over from the days when I made my own S-100 boards.
Diebold is well known for banking systems, including ATMs, so they know a thing or two about accountability. For some reason, these lessons haven't been transferred to their elections division.
To enable callerID on the cell phone (assuming it's GSM), try prefixing *31# to the phone number you're dialing. This and many other GSM codes are supported by many GSM phones.
Not to mention HDNet; they have a contract with NASA to cover all shuttle launches through 2010. They provided 5 hours of coverage today, and about 4 hours of coverage leading up to Friday's aborted launch.
That may be true nowadays, but I knew a commercial artist in Chicago who did photo retouching for Playboy back in the early days, before Hef moved the operation to LA.
I'm trying it right now on my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard) -- I clicked on the "high-end phone" link. It downloads the Google Maps Java applet, which appears to work on my phone.
Those days are back, sort of. HDNet has a contract with NASA to cover all launches through 2010. They did non-stop coverage of the recent Discovery launch and its return.
HDNet has provided NASA with a number of HD cameras, not just for TV coverage, but to assist in the inspection of the shuttle for foam damage. A shuttle launch in 1080i is quite a sight -- I spent most of the July 4th weekend watching the HDNet coverage (remember there were 2 scrubs before the actual launch on the 4th). Missed the return, though -- had to work to make the money to pay the cable bill.

And it might look something like this.
To be fair to the OP, the President's salary was $200,000 per annum up until Dubya took office. So much for high salaries attracting the best talent.
Not really -- I'd give them a c.
Yes, but Hoshi Sato won't be born for another 100 years or so...
He may not know YouTube, but he knows about Xybernaut.
Arguably, that's already happened.
Polygraph tests are basically nothing more than a tool of intimidation used by law enforcement to get stupid criminals to confess to things.
Indeed -- you don't even need a real polygraph. In a pinch, you can use a copier and a colander.

It refers to quicklime (useful for dissolving corpses), not the citrus fruit.
Most of us would consider that a good thing.

A couple of Austrian artists are way ahead of you.

Yeah, right. Where in heaven is God going to find a lawyer?

And why shouldn't he? After all, the President is always right.
You sure it was Lattice and not Wizard? Or am I thinking of Borland?
Too bad Thinkgeek stopped selling their RFID-blocking T-shirt.
CDM has also been revived -- new episodes Saturdays at noon ET on MTV2. They've pretty much picked up where the original show left off, qualitywise.
