Does anybody read these antiquated forms of data transmission any more.:)
On a more serious note, why does slashdot keep posting stories lately that really have no business here. It seems to be more of a deluge of useless stuff, instead of stuff that matters.
To actually quantify how much radiation one receives in a normal day. If we did that we would finally understand why cancer is becoming more common.
But on a more serious note it would be kinda cool to see how much radiation a 22" NEC monitor put out.
Or to see how much radiation their is in the workplace. I wonder if i could call OSHA and complain that my workplace is unsafe due to extreme radiation. That would net a couple days off with pay. w00t!
Exact statement used by gore in an interview with Wolf Blitzer from this Source
Quote "BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now.
Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?
Clearly, Blitzer is asking Gore to offer an explanation of how he differs as a politician from other politicians in general, and his rival at the time, Bill Bradley, in particular. Here is Gore's entire response to Blitzer's question:
GORE: Well, I will be offering - I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
During a quarter century of public service, including most of it long before I came into my current job, I have worked to try to improve the quality of life in our country and in our world. And what I've seen during that experience is an emerging future that's very exciting, about which I'm very optimistic, and toward which I want to lead."
There that settles that. He said he took the initiative in creating the internet. If you want to interpt that as inventing then yes he said he invented it. If you want to take it like exaggeration then yes you are right he just funded it.
Then the love of technology would be one of the worst sins possible. So if any manufactor would like contribute some technology to an upstanding person as myself i would be glad to hate it for them. You know to like balance karma or something.
looks like apple pulled the plug on the movies. Must either be a bandwidth consumption thing or paramount just scored a direct photon torpedo hit.
Are we forgetting something?

E ~ mc^2

First off let me just say that i think we already have the answer to the question does e=mc^2. Let me demonstrate, first we need alot of pimply faced geeks sitting around their computers on new years eve/day talking about relativity. Most discussion about this topic tend to descend into inane dribble about which formula is correct and oh you forgot a denominator here or why don't you account for gamma that. But if just for 1 day we would take precise measurements, and gather all these formulas into one place and use some kind of idle processor usage way of trying to brute force the universe we might actually succeed in turning theory into law.
But no we must post and repost and comment to no end. We have all the info we need, we just need to stop arguing like 19 century scientific idiots about whether or not a theory is unpopular or just can't work and either prove or disprove a single or multiple theories once and for all.
I know this will probally get modded down to like -1 as flamebait, but it is not, it is a genuine challenge. What use is it that microsoft has a "monopoly" on the desktop market if we are unwilling or unable to prove or disprove scientific theory (central to our understanding of the universe), that has stood for almost a hundred years, and has not been unified into a single all encompasing theory of the universe, or cast aside as inaccurate.

So this is my tax dollars hard at work.
Something else that i don't understand that will change my life forever.

I think the thing has reach nirvana. Or at least is very close.
