My sister's birthday is Pi Day. I was always jealous of that. Her initials now that she is married are A.E. just like Albert Einstein. My birthday is 7/22 and my oldest brother's is the degenerate Jan 3 which is another approximation for Pi. 3/1 22/7
I just finished a 3 player game of Ra tonight and I thought I was dominating the entire game. I was surprised that I came in second when the points were tallied. I got penalized in the final round and final tally 10 points (least amount of sun points and not having a civilization in the final epoch.) I lost by 8 points.:) I hope to own this game one day.
Does anyone else share my belief that this "refund" is a cleverly veiled conspiracy to have the masses of sheep-like Americans have a warm and fuzzy feeling about their phone company as the whole NSA / Tiered Internet thing goes down? Or is it just my twisted view?
My wife is a 6th grade teacher. Shes heard about these clickers and commercial solutions seem pricey. She says these clickers would be quite the boon to the classroom. She could get instant feedback as to who was understanding a concept and who wasn't. "Everyone who thinks the answer is TRUE press your clicker TRUE button" Instant feedback on who is listening and grasping the ideas. Also, the clickers should be designed in such a way that discourages cheating. Maybe the buttons are beneath a sheath. Kids don't have to be singled out. Multiple choice quizzes are graded instantly.
Wireless is the feasible way to go. Wires would be tripped over and yanked at. The only boon to wired is that you can run power to them and not worry about batteries. Although.... my company develops low power portable devices and they claim 20 year lifetime.
Step 1: Start counting
Step 2: Count until one second passes
Step 3: If you reached six hundred four billion when your second passed and you stopped counting, then you just measured a 604 gigahertz signal.
On my Netgear wireless router, I have the ability to enable MAC address filtering. If the wireless connection isn't coming from my MAC address, then the attacker can't use my router. Right? I live in an apartment complex and I had just set up my router. Within a week, I noticed someone sharing my router for some goatse action. I enabled my MAC filtering but not WEP and I haven't seen Mr goatse again. Could he come back though somehow? Also, if I don't enable WEP, an attacker could monitor my web usage without necessarily using my internet connection? Thanks for any answers.
Umm... usually both parties make all sorts of promises. Usually, neither can actually do what they promise. So both are lying, but one has to win. Also, people want to believe that THIS time will be different. This time they MEAN what they say. We need a theocracy...
Could you please provide me with a small list of name brand chocolate candies and/or candy manufacturers in Germany that are "infinitely better" than the American kind? I have a friend who goes to Germany on business from the USA and could pick some up. I would love to try some.
Thanks,

In all seriousness, have they not considered that the Earth is alive? If you honestly think about it, that would answer the REG outcomes. The Earth was aware (at some level we can't fully understand) of what the terrorists of 9-11 were going to do much sooner that anyone in the USA. The spike the scientists measured could be seen as a "sigh" or "collective breath" of impending doom and gloom. Much like all the other world events the article mentions. I am part of a religion that believes the Earth is alive and will receive a paradisical glory because it has "obeyed" all the laws that would qualify it for such a reward/rest from the evilness it was had to bear.
No reason to skirt around the issue, the videos from the tank I watched were very poor quality. I understand they were wireless, but why not stash some treasure in the crawlspace to let all the/.ers take part in the discovery. I mean if through all the darkness and quick jerky motion, the tank could have discovered this, how flipping sweet would that have been?!
"In these math problems students have to perform subtraction and division, and if you're trying to hold information in your memory and you start worrying about performance, then you can't use your entire mental capacity to do the math," Beilock explained.
I am under some serious pressure in terms of writing a master's thesis in electrical engineering this semester and holding a position of responsibility in my church. While I was watching the Super Bowl with some friends, Frank commented about how Brian had bought a used car year 1991 for $500. I piped up, "Well for being less than ten years old, thats a good deal!!! Where in the world I got that a 1991 car is less than 10 years old can only be attributed to this article's insights. That or I'm just completely nuts.
Pollack says "Imagine the pollution levels if we add hundreds of millions of robots powered by internal combustion engines."
This is so silly it numbs my mind. If future roboticists use internal combustion engines on their robots, they are morons. Fuel cells, solar cells, rechargable batteries... etc
Just downloaded BZFlag and jumped right in. Needless to say I got wasted. Looks like a lot of fun. I'm impressed by the OSS community. Wonder what the latency spike on the bzflag.org website was along with all the mirrors holding the game?
I built a 4 color marble sorter out of two stepper motors from 5-1/4 inch drives, a photo-sensitive cell and some PC software driving parallel port inputs and outputs. It won $150 in a engineering contest at Auburn University.

I may behind the times on when these games came out, but I throughly enjoyed playing Power Grid, Ra, and Puerto Rico for the first time last week.

No need to worry. Simply drive in reverse and it cancels the Doppler Effct.
Since when was $50 twice what $30 is ...

While you are at it, you might bold-type the Micro part as well. Oh wait, that's a different drug.

You think we did this so we could have a case ( however weak ) to go to war against them?
So instead of some savvy theif mugging you for your 3k laptop, you'll have a homeless man taking you down for a slice of pepperoni? .... Ok!
Did anyone else read the article as Ebay requires MS Passport Signin ?

Out of this world!
A really neat mechanical robotic arm. A classic!!
