I suppose what I find so fascinating about BL, is that only the smartest people I know of are able to be fooled or offended by him. The rest of the sheeple are necessarily wihtout an opinion. I think Edward Teller might have counted himself within that number.
YEAH HIM! No doubt a freak, but a real physicist freak, and those are the best kind!
Wired should have pointed out that they (the gov't) might be looking for their stolen samples of element 115, the next best thing to UWTB.
Remember BOB LAZAR? He produced a video about how he worked in Area 51 & explained the UFO's propulsion system, powered by antimatter? They've put on their black suits and are pointing their M16s at him! AGAIN! Maybe they're really looking for his tolen samples of element 115!
But the guy is a real physicist. $95 for a decent geiger counter may soon seem like a real bargain.
My wife caught pertussis (whooping cough) within the last couple of years. We were scared shitless about any new babies we may have contacted (only one, fine now, thank God). There were at least 400 cases in our state, but she was among the thousands not included in that number.
Here's what the doc said about innoculations and why the don't work as well as they used to: Several years ago, they made the switch to the "safer" acellular pertussis vaccines. They're safer in the sense that per every 1,000,000 vaccinated, there are fewer bad effects (illness and death). But these vaccines are also weaker, so the total amount of pertussis (bacterial load) within the population has increased dramatically. So now we have outbreaks.
What I took away was that if we had the vintage vaccines back to treat the vintage pertussis, her illness may never have happened, but there may be somewhere between 1 and 5 per million vaccinated dead or seriously ill who are fine today.
BTW: Pertussis leaves a heavy burden of toxins that remain long after the bacterial are all gone. It's awful. I simply can't describe how nasty it is to have a bad hack for 3 months. It exhausts a body. It can kill a baby who catches it. The one thing that provided any relief was a shot of vodka after supper and before bed. The doc agreed that was the best known treatment for non-alcoholics.
third world economies to develop automobiles.
I think that there is a mistaken assumption in the argument that developing economies will need to have everything we had to develop as they will. The argument seems to go: We had wire. Now we have wireless. They will need wire to get wireless as well.
I don't think so.
And what if they do? Maybe they have thriftier habits, and will be able to do more with less.
Santa got my kid a Sansa. I'm trying to hack it to limit the volume to something reasonable, although at full blast it isn't as bad as most.
Anybody ever try hacking a plain old mp3 player to limit the output?

As for being a physicist, he's no more a physicist than any of us who live in the physical world
who sell an allegedly decent geiger counter
even totally fake degrees from MIT are still genuine fakes
If bigfoot had that Mr Wizard kit, maybe bigfoot could stick to walls, too. What's the secret?

How exactly do you run an FSF free of evangelical dogma?

Lots of fallow brains out there, Ben. Lay one on us!
