"Is typing a bunch of numbers into a box in a GUI easier than editing a text file? Is there something implicity more intuitive about having a window with little fill in boxes easier than editing a text file?"
Krusty: So he's proactive, huh?
Lady: Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous
paradigm.
Meyer: Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just
buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?
[backpedaling] Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
[pause] I'm fired, aren't I?
Myers: Oh, yes.
Evolution occurs by natural selection, not by divine guidance. Evolution by divine guidance is just a slowed down version of intelligent design. It's fundamentally wrong.
You apply safety factors to the maximum probable loads, not the maximum possible loads. The maximum possible load is infinite, which wouldn't require much factoring to ensure a safe design.
Tragedy:
1 a serious accident, crime, or natural catastrophe.
2 a sad event; a calamity (the team's defeat is a tragedy).
The Challenger disaster certainly qualifies...

"If the welder (who also, generally, has several years of college level engineering classes) sees a flaw there is little he can do about it"
That's BS. Fabricators often have quiet little words to engineers.

Hey man, don't let it phase you.
I quote from the centrifugal force article:
"As it is an actual force, it is always present, independent of the choice of reference frame."
"Oh, and just FYI for everybody, there is no "acceleration", "pressure" or "force" directly experienced inside a centrifuge."
Yeah there is...
"This sounds an awful lot like electroconvulsive therapy [wikipedia.org] which doesn't seem to be taken that seriously anymore."
ECT is an effective treatment and is taken quite seriously.
"stress" not "pressure"
"jigowatt"

I wonder if there's a statistical correlation between those who don't do so well on IQ tests and those who consider IQ tests meaningless.
It's "viruses" damn it!

If your friends can reliably pick the difference between high bit rate MP3 and CD then you are obviously informing them somehow of which is which.
3000-4000 pixels across.
I worked at a company that did this. I just http mailed things to myself.
For the record, shear does cause cracking. Shear produces diagonal tension forces.

How can time move? What does it move against? Some higher order of time?
'Viruses' not 'virii'.
No, it's a lambda phage.
T2, T4 etc also look like this, but not T7 phages.

I thoroughly agree.
I don't use Symantec anymore, and I try and convince other people to drop it.
How did you do 75mph on a bike?
Malaria isn't a virus.
