Frankly, I'm dissapointed that the PTO took his money. He clearly needs psychological help, and even small entity fees add up.
The caption explains what I am seeing: "Newton’s face is shown in profile, in the style of a medallion and supported by a multi-breasted female figure."
They protect the ornamental apperance of the device, and basically are a little bit more formal than trademark/trade dress. They are specifically precluded from protecting any functional or inventive aspect. Basically there's no story here.
Although my first exposure to Linux was much earlier, and was mostly spent learning how the basic commands differed from what I remembered from DOS, my first time actually doing something with Linux was during my undergraduate research, when I ran simulations of high energy particle collisions for the now depressingly delayed ATLAS experiment.
Actually, the [citation needed] was to the claim that the prosecutors on this case were holdovers from the Clinton administration. Even if Bush didn't completely clean house, he certainly had like-minded people to argue on his behalf in the DOJ. From the indictment and press release, you can see the prosecutors in the case were "Principal Deputy Chief Brenda K. Morris, Trial Attorneys Nicholas A. Marsh and Edward P. Sullivan of the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section, headed by Chief William M. Welch II, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph W. Bottini and James A. Goeke from the District of Alaska". At least Brenda Morris is a holdover from Bush I. Since you love Google, I'll let you do the rest of the research yourself.
While I could see the enjoyment remaining the same when engaging in CTF or DM multiplayer gameplay, I prefer realism and a good storyline in my single player games. My enjoyment of HL2 would be greatly diminished if, after all they put me through, my revenge on Combine soldiers simply caused them to float away unharmed.
Having moved from small town (a suburb of Scranton, of all places) to progressively larger cities over the years, I know that my brain is vastly understimulated in suburban and rural areas.
In the same vein, the following two might be worth checking out:
Mathematics for Physicists by Philippe Dennery and Andre Krzywicki, Dover, 0-486-69193-4, (1995) Mathematical Methods of Physics, Jon Mathews and R.L. Walker, Addison Wesley (1971) 0805370021
Along with Arfken's book, these two were used in an upper level Mathematical Methods in Physics class when I was an undergrad.
This is exactly why I have given up on the Chevy Volt. If you havnt seen it, take a look at the concept version versus the production model. Sure, the changes were made for reasons of aerodynamic efficiency, but it could at least look a little more like the new camaro.
Anyway, I'll just have to win the lotto and get a Fisker Karma.
Humans are more analogous to the Protoss than the Zerg. We do not naturally evolve biologically anymore because we develop advanced technology to do our bidding when we require it. If we need something biological, we'll eventually be able to genetically manipulate it into existence in a lab.
P.S. Yes I realize we are most analogous to Terrans than to the Protoss, but Carriers are cooler than Battlecruisers.
I completely agree. We established a Google Group for the board I am on, and find it is ideal. Collaberative documents can be shared using Google Docs, we can post other important files to the group page as well, etc. If anything, it means that we can just email the group's email list, instead of having to CC all members for every important conversation.
It seems worse than that. The language is "every teacher", not "every science teacher". The high school biology teacher may be teaching evolution, but the music teacher is trying to throw some intelligent design at the kids. (Again, ID != science)
American physicists dont care if a discovery comes from Fermilab or from CERN, because many of them work at both, or at least have colleagues who work overseas from wherever they are. As a US student who used to work at CERN (namely on ATLAS) my research advisors were splitting their time between Fermilab and CERN. NSF and DOE funding are going to both labs, and scientists will be happy just to get some real data to work with.
I went and saw Meet the Robinsons in 3D, and it was amazing. The RealD glasses they gave me fit easily over my regular glasses, and I had no problems whatsoever with the 3d effect. The cost was only slightly greater (12 dollars, which is only 3 bucks more than a normal 2D film). As to the guy below who was talking about the glasses at some imax theatre being unsanitary, these glasses were sealed in plastic wrap, and we got to keep them after the show. Of course, they're quite useless outside of the special polarized light theatre, and we'll pay for them again with every subsequent 3d movie we see, but i guess it makes a nice momemnto? maybe?
I've been to CERN twice, spending a combined month or so there with my research. Most of the second time I was underground as we were installing my university's hardware contribution into the ATLAS Cavern. It's still very much considered a construction zone, so hard hats and steel toe shoes are mandatory, even when you're just in the electronics rooms. It's fun seeing all the old PhDs running around looking like construction foremen.
Anyway, what I liked most about the film was highlighting the importance of the cafeteria. Although most of the collaboration is done either by email or occasionally webcam, I think the biggest decisions are made with a beer in hand, enjoying the weather, and either staring off towards Mont Blanc (which most of the time is too hazy to discern, but when it's clear, it's beautiful), or watching the nightly game of football (soccer). The beer may not be important for all decisions- the mini bottles of wine could probably work just as well.
What I didn't like in the film was when in the LHC tunnel, the one guy was talking about collisions, mentions ATLAS, and then immediately after they started showing shots of the CMS detector. There is a great but friendly competition between the ATLAS and CMS groups. Building 40 (which houses the ATLAS and CMS offices), basically pits the two opposite one another. When you walk in the central hub, everything to your left is CMS, and everything to the right is ATLAS. The small cafe in the center is the only spot not claimed by either group. Even then, once getting anything from the cafe, CMS people take their food to the tables on their half of the building, and ATLAS to their own side. So although the average person may say it's nothing, I think a lot of ATLAS people would roll their eyes when seeing the movie, thinking that people watching it would mistake the CMS for ATLAS.
Finally, another movie (which won awards!) that starts off giving an overview of ATLAS and the LHC, but then goes back and gives a brief history of 400 some years of scientific experimentation is available here - http://www.atlas.ch/movie.html. Enjoy.

I am not sure this list is real. I couldn't find anything on NASA's website about it, and the Science and Entertainment Exchange say they were not involved: http://blog.scienceandentertainmentexchange.org/2011/01/note-to-our-web-visitors-london-sunday.html
They must be suing for past damages, as unless there is some adjustment/extension for delays at the PTO, that patent is now expired.
Don't know why the Discovery article links to the published application, but here is a link to the actual issued patent: 7,631,404

There is a more important mystery here than whether Newton actually saw an apple fall. Please see this illustration in Stukeley's memoir.
The caption explains what I am seeing: "Newton’s face is shown in profile, in the style of a medallion and supported by a multi-breasted female figure."
The caption does not explain why I am seeing it.
According to a reliable source, a lack of REM sleep in a group of people will cause them to go crazy and start murdering each other...
