I was walking over to an ATM machine the other day, when I realized that many other people have the same PIN number as me. I thought "they should have a personalized PIN number." Also, my bank still uses those old CRT tubes and they are hard to read, so they really need to upgrade the whole thing. Anyway I went into the bank to sit and talk to a representative about this, and I was reading a DC comic, and the light next to me was flickering. Damn that AC current! I took out my laptop, since I wanted to learn more about CSS style sheets. (Are they under the GPL license btw ?) After about 5 minutes of reading I had a headache - I felt like an ICBM missile had hit my head! Or maybe it was from my LCD display. What I need is a vacation I thought - so I went home and started to pack my SCUBA gear.
There are 3 plurals of octopus: octopi, octopuses and octopodes.

you should look at what people on Wall Street agree to. It's really not so unusual. And you are always free not to work there - they don't owe you anything.
A "standard automobile" may not be shipped from the factory with anything other than a flat mirror on the driver's side. This is not true in Europe or in Japan. Trucks and Buses are another story. And none of It is determined by state - this is federal law. See, for example
A troll ? How, when it is just expressing an opinion regarding the article. Additionally, it is the standard mantra in the math/physics community.
As for designing microprocessors, I don't really see how this is a good example, given that so many physicists are involved. Additionally, I am not saying that their are no hard engineering problems.
OK, so he has a paper on M-Theory, so he probably does understand the latest stuff. But my main point still stands. This is just a thing about who gets to build the bigger empire and get more publicity, power and money. Just like the entertainment industry!
I see two sides to this. Smolin has a point. Most string theory papers are garbage. (True of many fields). But Smolin himself has not been research active in a long time. And it is unlikely that he understands enough mathematics to judge string theory - like most people.

It tells you a lot of things I don't know other sources for. But my binding cracked after a week, which is a bummer.
It was interesting reading. Unfortunately though the binding broke after a week.

this DOT report on the topic..
This is an agency that is very conservative. I mean, it's illegal to have curved driver side mirrors in the US for pete's sake.
but I'd hate to have to eventually pull that glowing red ball through my nose just to get to Mars.

Ogg Vorbis is:
o An invading species
o The best audio format
o Can be bought at Ikea
We'll just have the Chinese clear it out with their new laser death beam things.
vista is a threat to
o my job
o my life
o my sanify
o my wallet
o my security
Just a few things had to be done with CGI. For example, fire and the floating rabbits in the BV-6000.
This is a great book, but my binding cracked after 2 weeks. Worth buying anyway though.

I went to physics grad school and work in an engineering school. The engineers are not thinkers compared with physicists and mathematicians.
My copy physically fell apart 2 weeks after buying it. (Hardcopy). I think the binding just disintegrated.

Smolin is research active, but I seriously doubt he understands what Ed Witten did in the 1990's, for example.

The most amazing thing is Gilbert Strang's linear algebra course. He is a genius lecturer
They've been offering some great math courses too. Try Strang's linear algebra. He is a genius of a teacher. And you can't copyright a matrix.
