Or you could keep the computer science side of things as your focus and work on biologically inspired systems. Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Computer/Machine Vision are all good candidates.

Most of us don't mark that as presence or absence intelligence. It's sexual discrimination at its finest, and yes, it's over-abundant and heavily ignored in the tech industry. Most of my friends right now are women, and the crap they deal with that they talk to me about is disgusting. I can only imagine the bits they're brushing past. My field needs a huge kick in the ass in this department.

I'm more surprised this is surprising.
Think about it from a surface area perspective. More surface area, more room for condensation, greater chance of precipitation I'd suspect.

Guess this is the most appropriate response to a radio host dropping off the air, particularly one as famous as Dr. Demento.

Way back before this one, Google's founder built a Lego printer (line plotter) at the university of Michigan:

She's clearly working on it.
There would be nothing finer than a Darwin Award with multiple attempts leading to a success.

Does that fact that light is polarizable, has known frequencies of oscillation, and no mass (but has momentum), throw a wrench into all this claim that you need mass to oscillate? Probably not on these forums, but it still makes me pause to think about it.

Fact.

I don't know, it may not be something they're immediately aware of.
A seating arrangement I've found works well is on the inside of a ring.
Have the desks setup with dividers so if someone needs to buckle down
and focus, they can, but if they need to confer, they can turn around.

I've tried cubes, offices, labs, and that setup, and I'd have to say,
for small groups, it seems to work out the nicest.

I think you're probably right on. I suspect frustration has a reasonable amount to do with it as well. Linux has grown unwieldy. It suffers one of the main issues with the C programming language: it's been around for so long, and the wheels have been reinvented so many times, that determining which APIs, applications, or packages to use in a given instance are, in themselves, an effort in yak shaving. This is the main reason I've avoided modifying the kernel code. I see the OS as having some systemic issues that, despite effort on my part, will not be resolved. And yes, my primary machine is a Linux box.

I drive a hybrid. This is going to have some lift, but frankly, trying one at a mac store, I felt it was clunky. Full points on the form factor, and the graphical transitions are very very very smooth, but they flip the screen direction after almost every click (rather than when you turn the device), and trying to use the web on it to access slashdot articles about the iPad, not pleasant. Some of that gets smoothed out with use, I'm sure, but for the price I'm not sold on it for now. Give me a laptop with a keypad.

The insulative layer surrounding neurons is made of fat. No fat, you get excitation bleeding (not blood, think short circuits). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelin
