Can anybody find the one thing we care to see on that barftacular site?

could be used as on-off switches for nuclear devices

On-off switches? What exactly is the function of an “off” switch on a nuclear bomb?

Oh, is it not referring to the city of Boulder, CO? As a non-Coloradan, I had no idea there was a Boulder County. Now I'm really confused. Is “Co.” a common abbrev. for “County?”

What do they do? Sounds like maybe an ironic name for a cloud storage company....

Ohhhhhhh. “Boulder, CO” — not “Boulder Co.” Never mind.

My mom didn't allow gun toys. So I built Lego guns and even once bit off the corner of my sandwich, pointed it at something, and said bang.

In the case of cars, it was largely supply and logistics. Car fuel cells were supposed to be hydrogen-powered (not butane, like these) and there is very little infrastructure for generating and transporting large amounts of hydrogen. Storing it on board the car is also a tricky issue.

The fuel cells that were recently all the rage for cars were hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen has even worse supply and storage problems than butane.

Just get Windows 8 and a Start Menu replacement. (There are a dozen out there.) Congrats, now you have Windows 7.

If there's something you dislike other than the start page, click on the “Small Business” section of Dell (or probably any other big builder). I just bought a W7 computer there last week.

Is it the segment with the fewest low-order nodes, so that impact there can set up only high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration?

In the pre-TV days, it did actually have a lot to do with the preponderance of statistics.

Imagine a whole town coming out to “watch” a big game happening in another city. They all look at a scoreboard for three hours, while one guy gets updates by phone or telegraph and updates the board for all to see. To those fans, baseball often was statistics.

Then what do they do between games? No SportsCenter to watch, so you crunch stats and compare with your buddies. Imagine kids checking the papers every day and tabulating all their favorite players' hits, strikes, etc. to calculate the percentages themselves, then debating on the playground who was better.

So, stats are a large part of what built baseball fandom.

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) gas engines have been discussed, designed, and tested for a long time. Direct injection HCCI is not a new idea either.

It is great that there's more progress being made, but let's not pretend Delphi invented the idea.

I'd love to figure out a way to visualize the paths to the universal attractor that is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy.
