If I want to know what is wrong with me, I ask a doctor not someone who studies the philosophy of illness, if I want to know what governs the universe then I'll ask a scientist over people who study the philosophy of religion. "Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is to sex." - Karl Marx
I really don't understand the need to emphasize the part about the beam expander and turret. It's just a beam expander. The easiest way to build one is to simply use two converging lenses separated by a distance equal to the sum of their focal lengths. Heck. I even remembered assembling one as part of a "game" in one of my undergrad physics (majors') class. What I am more interested is in how they managed to created such a powerful beam, etc. (I didn't RTFA).
Perhaps, this is the reason why I can't explain my research to laypeople.:)
P.S. I am a member of a research lab whose research topics include optics.
I think there was a recent survey/study that showed Nobel Prize winners have a slightly longer life expectancy.
Although, because it's just a correlation, we don't know if it's because winning the Nobel prize makes you live longer or because people that tend to live longer win the Nobel prize. Note that both are feasible explanations.
I wonder what the lady's reaction is. I'm working on telemicroscopy and I can control a microscope through phone (SMS, MMS, 2.5G/3G) and other interfaces. Would doing that mean my cold nights are over?:)
Yet since Google has such a vast supply of information on people who don't MIND ads, why not start putting up ads that might be of interest to the user? If "John" goes from a site about gambling to a site about sports, Google knows it -- why not start displaying ads for "John" that combine all of his possible interests? The YouTube ads can be the same -- they know where you've been, so why not combine those keywords into ads that MIGHT be more interesting to you? Hhmmm... let's see... what if I'm a goat lover and I also happen to like viewing pr0n, what ads should I see?
I've checked the requirements a few years back and IIRC the "vision correctable to 20/20" is already a requirement. That is, you don't have to have 20/20 vision and as I understand refractive eye surgery is not needed, eyeglasses will suffice.
I live in a third world country and I totally agree. Most of what I know with computers is due to self-study. For support, I just STFW or RTFM or ask in forums. For the less technical-savvy people, they would just ask their more techie friends. We can't call tech support because most of the software are pirated or open source without included support.
A friend accidentally learned that it's not a good idea to put just any type of mug in a microwave oven.
One night, he was staying overnight in the lab and became hungry so he decided to cook instant noodles using the microwave oven. He got a mug, choosing probably the one nearest the oven, put some water and noodles, and placed them in the oven to cook. It turned out that the mug is actually a metal cup covered with plastic with an attached plastic holder. As expected, the mug heated up so much that the plastic melted and left the mug in a funny, distorted shape.
Unfortunately for him, the mug has a sentimental value to the owner since it was given by another labmate. He was forced to become an assistant to that labmate in a talk in order to replace the mug with an exact copy.
The funny and ironic thing is we are both physics majors and members of an instrumentation physics research lab (the lab that I'm talking about). The owner of the mug is also the professor in the optics course we are taking during that time.
The moral of the story: be extra careful when you're hungry:)

SIP is the standard protocol. What you are asking is a standard client which is politically hard to do especially in the FOSS community.

You're all wrong! It's 42%.
It's in TFA. For the impatient (like me), it's https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439858
The Universe will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

Welcome to the real world! :)
This is just a restatement of the fallacy known as argumentum ad ignoratio.

Share it... for mutually assured destruction :)
Does that mean orcs may visit my house now?

You might want to search IEEE Trans. Antenna and Propagation to find a related paper. You might need to modify FDTD for your purposes.
Strictly speaking, math/maths is not a science.
There's no local or national elections on 2008. It's every three years and there's an election this year, so, the next election is on 2010.

I have already complained about the lack of standards and social networks in a post. BTW, I am still not subscribed in any social networking site. :)
