As an engineer, this is the part I'm most interested in in this subject area: getting from some theorized effect in physics to being able to create and control this effect at will, and then coming up with useful applications for it. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like schools gloss over all this stuff; they talk about Einstein coming up with E=mc^2, briefly mention some guys working on the Manhattan Project, and boom, next thing you know there's atomic bombs exploding.
You should start by reading about this guy named Fermi.
Somehow, I'm not so impressed, considering Moore's Law predicts a roughly 1 million-fold (= 2^(30/2)) increase in transistor count over the span of 30 years...
2^(30/2) = 2^(15) = 32768.
Once I've converted folks, I've often put a sheet of paper next to the computer, listing equivalent options between Ubuntu and Windows. If you want to do something and can't figure out how immediately, look at the list. Eventually, that list will disappear from use. I always leave my cell phone number and a card listing the hours where I'm not otherwise occupied.
Can you post that list here? Sounds useful. Thanks.
Don't forget to include your cell phone number!

That coffee shop has to pay for its connection, and bandwidth is a limited resource.
Which is why they should charge by the MB.
My prescription is 7.5mg hydrocodone, 500mg acetaminophen (standard - though there are a few variations on the amount of hydrocodone). The FDA has enforced that amount of acetaminophen, for two reasons. Hydrocodone is relatively addictive, and acetaminophen often induces a huge amount of nausea.
Generally, it is the narcotic causing the nausea, not the acetaminophen.
The FDA made the drug companies put acetaminophen into the narcotic painkillers to keep people from recreationally overdosing on them (same as they "denature" ethyl alcohol that you can buy at the hardware store by poisoning it with methyl alcohol)...
This is not true at all. Acetaminophen and narcotics are mixed because the combination is a much more effective pain reliever than either alone.
