My multimeter will display EE when a reading exceeds the displayable limit. Wonder if they are carrying a meter from 1960s... or a mind from hell.

But then there are graphing calculator apps like... https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/free-graphing-calculator/id378009553?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/graphing-calculator-hd/id374274107?mt=8 and Mathlab's pretty good, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.mathlab.android&hl=en So I guess, iPad and android tablets do more than a graphing calculator. Did Phil Nicols get '''something''' from TI to say that a computer is less educational than a calculator?

I agree. It is despicable that my boss can order me about via email.

Harvard invents insulating rubber gloves to protect people against MIT invention.

What next? "New Keyboard Accessory Shocks Users When They Try To Go On Pornhub" ?

Yes it is priceless. I do not understand how someone can put a price on the world treasure, the lungs of the world, a space for unknown number of flora and fauna and even never before seen tribes of humans. Instead of chopping those trees, we are better off reading from a Kindle.

Aliens? Like from other parts of Europe and Asia? I am sorry, living the US, I must be confused.

Night vision goggles are extremely sensitive to light, If the laser hits the goggles directly, the shooter might be blinded for quite some time.

I saw them being used at a rally in Rio the day before as well.

In the US, politicians have been effectively taking the citizens for a ride in the name of national security. Politicians know that carefully balancing the national security and economic security is the key to getting a large number of people to desist from protect. Just like in China. People of weary of what kind of setup they will get if they depose the communist govt. Right now many of the Chinese citizens are making some sort of money and the country is seemingly secure. People want it that way.
