All of my memories from basic circuit design classes are well...nonexistant.
I know the feeling. I just finished a semester long class on electric circuit analysis. The same damn resistor, inductor, capacitor circuit every day for three months. Now, less than a week after graduation, all the knowledge is gone. Like Dumbledore says at the end of the first book:
Hopefully your heads are all a little fuller than they were... you have the whole summer ahead to get them nice and empty before next year starts.
I keep waiting for movie theaters to drop the ticket price now that I have to watch commercials instead of soundless slides. It makes me mad that I have to pay ten bucks and watch horrible matrix/poweraid commercials. One or the other please.
I have to disagree. (Just graduated from college) After my freshman year I bought myself a handspring and it was great for me. I was never disciplined enough to maintain a paper and pencil planner. The handspring worked for me because it was small enough and unobtrusive enough that I could keep it in my pocket at all times. This way when ever I thought of something I needed, or a friend recommended a book, or whatever, I could just jot it down. Everything was in one place and I didn't hand in late assignments anymore. Well, unintentionally at least. : )

All joking aside, this has to be the best solution to span I have ever heard. I truly hope someone starts an open source project on this one. (I would do it myself, but I am not a good enough programmer)
If there is one thing I have learned from studying physics, it is how smart men like Einstein and Newton were. Sure, I knew they were smart guys before, but now they are on a whole new level. I used to think the intelligence difference from them to me was like a high school student sitting in a lecture with a graduate professor. Now I think its more like a dog to a professor. To be able to observe the world around you and say, 'Yeah, I think the velocity of light is always the same' and then work out the mathematical/physical results of that is an ability that I don't imagine shows up in our species very often.
Why don't the people notice the lack of advancement in the Matrix? Over a hundred years of 1999-ness... no stunning advances in CGI, or science, or anything!
I wondered the same thing myself.
My guess is that the simulated physics of the matrix is simplified so that 1999 level technology is as far as one can go. For example, its possible to get to the moon using only Newtonian physics. (We did it after all) But if your world is only Newtonian, there are somethings you will never do. (Modern Transistors and Nanotechnology) Perhaps the scientists of the Matrix think they have found the Theory of Everything, or are very close.
Numerology: Neo's apartment number is 101, suggesting that he's "the one." Neo is shot in apartment number 303, and after 72 seconds (72 hours = 3 days), he rises again.
I'd love to meet the first guy who thought to time that. I can see the tinfoil hat now.
Also, as a physics major, it hurts my eyes to see 72 seconds = 72 hours = 3 days. I guess no one bothered to teach the numerologists unit conversions.

You can bring your baby or toddler to work, so long as it can talk, feed itself and stick effortlessly to the ceiling like a spider.
Stewie?
Wright also experimented with a life-sized remote-controlled robot as a concept for a reality TV show.
I hope he didn't forget to carry the one.
Donald Rumsfeld creeps me out. I mean, look at the guy.
What the hell kind of college do you go to that offers 3000 level classes?

What does semblance of diversity when all these companies have representatives sitting on each others board of directors?

I have often wondered, after September 11th, if there are any countries that allow US immigrants under refugee status. : )

Yup, that seems about right.

I've worked in the financial world for a bit, and I'm always surprised by how bad most counterfit bills look.
Wouldn't you, by definition, find most of the bad fakes? Wouldn't you not find the really good ones?
Let's hope at least the new start bar that takes up a third of the screen is a hoax.
Anyone else think pence, not percent upon seeing 'pc'.
The perfect film is also apparently very cheap to make. Perhaps that's why the independent films are so good.
I believe he asked for it to be flaming.
