No toolbars installed == no MS update. I don't even use Google's toolbar -- and I more-or-less trust them (at least more than M$, anyway).

There are millions of lawyers, but there is only one Star Wars Kid. Dare to be different!

No, no -- in Soviet Russia, missile defense systems test *YOU*!

...but the Altmer, Bosmer, and Dunmer from Tamriel (The Elder Scrolls) are real, you insensitive clod!

You lose.

Well, you could do a reverse sting. Set up a bunch of torrents of Ubuntu Linux or some such totally Free content, then rename it as AvatarDVDRip.iso.torrent or something like that (with the content files renamed as well). Or use random data so it won't match the Ubuntu checksum, if they look for that. When they complain, you've got 'em.

Robotics is always interesting. Servo motors are pretty easy to control, once you learn a little microcontroller programming. All you need is a basic understanding of algebra; write a few timing loops and angle-to-pulse-width conversion routines and you're there. (I've been using PIC16 microcontrollers, which do this sort of thing nicely.)

Besides, that way, you'd have a good chance of being among the first to officially welcome our new robotic overlords!

No, he meant to type porpoises.

In pennies, duh.

Next, they plan to release a dual-engine moped.

Man -- you got my hopes up there. Not the same Khan, I guess. I was hoping for either Genghis, Kublai, or the one from ST...

Still, pretty cool-looking site, though. Thanks.

Helpful handouts from Germanna Community College's tutoring Center. (I used to work there a few years ago; these resources are not only helpful, but free.)
Drexel's Math Forum (full disclosure: I'm a current Drexel employee and student -- but the Math Forum strikes me as pretty cool.)
Project Euler(more oriented toward programming and numerical methods, but interesting site for developing your math skills. The problems range from not-too-hard to mind-boggling.)
Purple Math

The only thing cooler than a robot that does laundry -- is a robot that does laundry, that has an Ethernet switch for a hat. <g>

Yet another example of why xkcd == cool.

Two circles can't even remain linked in 2D, although they can remain linked in 3D (provided they are noncoplanar.) Perhaps one could be moved into the 4th dimension to allow the linking to happen without breaking them (two 2D circles can't be linked even in the 3rd dimension without breaking them.)

I suspect that if you could take two 2D circles into the 4th dimension to link them in the 3rd, you could link two *spheres* in the 4th dimension by taking one into the 5th to accomplish the link.
