Idiot. It should have been pretty obvious I knew that I was turning the noun "verb" into a participle. And "weirds" is a noun turned into a verb. Hello?
Centripetal force is a resultant force (since in circular motion an object undergoes constant acceleration). As used in most physics classes (etc.), it is introduced as a compensatory fictional force that makes a non-inertial frame of reference seem like an inertial one.
Centrifugal force is the counter-force to centripetal force, so it is fictional too. But it is the perceived force in one of those rotating things (I can't remember the name at the moment).
It is when it's split into 100 interlocking pieces.

My original 10GB iPod has suffered slightly above normal abuse for two years now, and there is no problem with the headphone connection (though the headphones themselves have worn out).
"There was an extremely interesting fnord presentation at the Blackhat fnord Windows fnord Security Conference in January by Dr Curtis Kret entitled fnord Nobody's fnord Anonymous. In his presentation he showed how information about fnord spammers can be determined. In addition he showed that some fnord spam is being used as a fnord covert communication channel. This presentation demonstrates how to apply data forensics to spam fnord in order to identify the sender of specific fnord spam messages. Some fnord senders can be identified by name, while others can be distinguished by attributes such as preferences, fnord nationality, religion, and even left-handedness. Four fnord spam categories are provided that classify spam by function, including fnord List Makers, fnord Scams, and fnord Covert Communication channels. The examples provided include full-disclosure case studies: a fnord phishing fnord gang that targets fnord bank customers with fnord malware and fnord impersonations, and an IRC group that uses spam as a fnord covert fnord communication channel."
A little radiation won't kill anyone. Sheesh. The amount of radiation released by the NaK coolant drops (especially after being vaporized on hitting the atmosphere) will be negligible.
Once again, the media makes a big deal out of a little thing.
(Note that this doesn't excuse the Soviets' lack of foresight on the reactor. Then again, they did manage Chernobyl...)
From what I understand from a friend who is his student, he does. At the very least, the code that he gives as a basis for projects is a mess that was written without even an attempt to compile it. So, his students have a fun (read: painful) time trying to decipher it.
From what I can recall, the neutrino was hypothesized to explain the non-monoenergetic nature of the electrons emitted in beta-decay. If beta-decay produced only the resultant nucleus and the beta-particle, then the betas would be mono-energetic (conservation of linear momentum and energy dictate this). However, they discovered that that the beta-particles had a whole spectrum of energies.
The only way to explain that was to have a third particle, the neutrino, produced by the decay. It would take away varying amounts of energy, leaving the electrons with a full energy spectrum.
It takes a very narrow-minded individual to choose an inferior product over a superior one that has little capability of taking unfair advantage of any vendor lock-in it might have.
Just because something is closed does not mean it is inferior.
Also, to include the token open source reference, recently the Navy purchased several Xserves with Yellow Dog Linux for their submarines.
Finally, Apple embraces the open source community a heck of a lot more than Microsoft does. They don't use a monopolistic position to try to force software down the user's throats. Their licensing schemes are infinitely less rigid than Microsoft's. Need I go on?
Eh, just have them use Macs. Surely they won't have a hard time dragging files to the CD icon that automatically appears on insertion of a blank CD-R and pressing the obvious "burn" button?

It is a metaphor that has been turned into a cliche. It is painful. PAINFUL, I say!
Idiot. It should have been pretty obvious I knew that I was turning the noun "verb" into a participle. And "weirds" is a noun turned into a verb. Hello?
Idiot.

Grow shouldn't be used like that.
Please, everyone, don't you realize that verbing weirds nouns?
I have mod points and was about to mod it down or you up...
but then I realized, 'What if anti-slash is only pretending it's a repost and just want duped moderators to mod it down?'
An interesting conundrum, but as I have posted here now, I can't use my mod powers, thus absolving me from my dilemma.
I don't think you can "call" a mail address.
Well, the list mentioned it was based partly on the ratio of access to the number of people attending.
Were you the only student at LSU at the time?
Bah, centripetal force is just as fictional:
Centripetal force is a resultant force (since in circular motion an object undergoes constant acceleration). As used in most physics classes (etc.), it is introduced as a compensatory fictional force that makes a non-inertial frame of reference seem like an inertial one.
Centrifugal force is the counter-force to centripetal force, so it is fictional too. But it is the perceived force in one of those rotating things (I can't remember the name at the moment).

Redundant?!? So you really can't see the fnords?
Wow. And I thought that the global Illuminati conspiracy was fiction. Dang. I guess I know better now.
Well, this is what I see:

The rest of us don't.

When was the last time you saw a breast think?
Maybe if we're lucky, they'll use ROT13 to encrypt it.
Flamebait? Maybe funny.
