I was at a AAAS meeting in LA and he comes bopping into a talk late with his little toadies. Then they decide their seats aren't good so they get up an move again! (this is a room that holds maybe 50 people) Then the genius asked a stupid question during the talk which shows he has no understanding of science talks.
BTW. The sail emits carbon monoxide to get its speed boost. You know, the stuff the kills humans almost as fast as dihydrogen monoxide.
You really want to be behind that thing for a whole month?
You do realize this will be used in space right?! The CO will not be a big problem out there!
You would be amazed how many people don't even know how big their iPod is.
I have a friend that has 9 songs on a 20 gig iPod. When I told her that she could put her whole collection on it, she responed that she only wanted the good stuff on there!
When I ask students if I can look at their iPods I always scroll to look at the capacity, and most are less than half full.
IMHO, anytime you sell a buttload of electronic gizmos, most of your user are clueless.
So, my procedure to open the door when I want to stick a disk in is to open iTunes, and press the eject button in iTunes. There is no CD drive in the Finder.
Since I see no hint of sarcasm in this post I must conclude that you sir, are retarded.
Summary: Love triangle with a recluse, a talking computer, and a girl.
Miles Harding is a nerdy recluse who can't seem to avidly communicate with women. A lovely girl moves in next door (Virginia Madsen) and shows interest in her new neighbor, but he's just too weird to relate. He buys a fancy computer and, even after he spills liquid and burns up the electrical circuits on it, it's still in good shape and working.
Only thing is, that it's a special artificial computer, with better communicative skills than Miles. And like a science fiction rendition of Cyrano de Bergnac, the computer starts delivering the enticing love lines to Mile's neighbor. So, she thinks she's in love with romantic Miles, but actually he's just supplying the pretty face. The computer's doing all the leg work. But, Miles faces stiff competition from his only friend and guide to women--a damned computer--when the computer starts learning about human emotion and falls in love with the girl, too.
Edgar Cayce was a royal nutjob that predicted Atlantis would rise up out of the ocean not be found.
Cayce followers have been good at editing his predictions as time passes. But you can always find old books in used book stores that have very detailed predictions about things that will happen in the 80's and 90's.
I'm from North Carolina (the least backward Carolina!) and my wife could not understand many of my relatives for the first year of my marriage. She was convinced my young cousins had speech impediments.
I had an aunt that worked for Piedmont Airlines as a reservationist. When Piedmont was bought out by US Air they sent all the phone people to speech training classes.
Has anyone looked to see if SIDS rates are higher in babies that sleep in new cribs vs. older ones. The offgassing rates from the various materials should be greatest when they are new.
A simpler solution, I think, would be to have clocks which all have embedded microcontrollers and wireless ethernet, so that they set themselves using NTP. This way, they'll reset themselves when the power comes back on, and they'll also stay synchronized to UTC.
I think you are confusing geekier with simpler.
Funny, my $8 alarm clock with 9V backup has no problem with power outages.
As a science type, I would say there are at least two issues at play.
Most traits show variablity, and the components of the visual system are no different. Slight differences in receptor morphology and physiology as well as optic nerve properties and visual filtering could account for the differences in perception of screen flicker. The same applies to the hearing issues you discuss (although I doubt they are related)
Also, the central nervous system does a lot of stimulus filtering on the fly. This allows us to hear conversations at a cocktail party and ignore our own bad breath.
In general, we all live in slightly different worlds. We hear different sounds, see different colors, smell different odors etc.
Clearly you have never been around posh private schools (at least this one). The university of new jersey at durham is famous for its on-campus drinking. They don't dare go into town where they might encounter smelly people (that covet iPods). Between the spoiled rich kids and the sheltered brainiacs having their first drinks, Duke abounds in drinking.

Beakman had a guy in Rat suit for God's sake!
He thinks I'm a god now!
perhaps I just inadvertently reached clear

Not to pick a fight but Univ. of North Carolina's station WXYC kicks arse and was the first to broadcast on the net. More info at ibiblio

I think mac users are a very bimodal group. There are lots of pros, comfortable with various OS's. However, there are tons of totally clueless folks.
I cleaned up a lot of macs in the pre-OSX days when a handful of annoyances like macro-viruses were common.

I give up, what sort of stuff do you do at National Endowment for the Arts?

I use it in classes rather than using stats packages that most students will never buy.
at all UNC system schools (Duke included)
Everyone knows that Duke is the University of New Jersey at Durham.
I could get degrees from 5 UNC schools for the price of a Duke degree!

I've used cellular comm. from a small airplane numerous times without any problems. I think you overestimate the height and gain of those antennaes.
