More on this.

Our knowledge tends to be high in the middle of the spectrum.

When we try to grasp the entire Universe, we end up looking at pixels of info. We know little and speculate much.

Similarly, at the smallest scales we have to resort to atom smashing to learn a bit and speculate a lot.

This theory suggests that life is LEGO-like after all. Once we know this underlying pattern, we can look for it, and we can use it to build better models of stuff very large and very small.

I would add that these results are consistent with my own theory.

Yes, and still paying out. Every year we fill out a form, drive to our local dealer so they can read how many miles we drove that year and then get a proportional check for our Kia Soul. :-)

The first reason to listen to new ideas is that our present understanding(s) -- theories -- of the universe are majorly flawed.

Wikipedia's List of the Unsolved Problems in Physics has hundreds of questions -- most of them just the flaws in the most "mainstream" theories.

What is your plan for fixing these broken theories? My plan is here.

because MPFI additional expense on a small block is just not justified.

Max Planck Florida Institute, for those wondering...Google got it on the first hit!

How about Surface Pro 3 Update 1?

Back in university, I tried playing Pinball after two or three beers. I quickly realized that there was no point. No matter what pinball game I played, I was very much worse in my reaction time and coordination.

And fitting more information on the screen. Many of the dialogues and even spawned program windows I work with are of fixed size. And sometimes I have dozens of them on the screen. If they could occupy a smaller percentage of my screen, that would be a very good thing.

Good to know. Maybe I am tending to grab from the first 5 responses, much like the average searchers.

Also, maybe this reflects that Google is actually doing a perfect job. The Slashdot results are there, but don't happen to be the most relevant for the searches in question.

I realize you can ask Google to search a particular web site, but it might be nice to be able to add a list of "preferred sites". Google would preferentially bubble up results from those sites, possibly formatted a little differently (like the ads are now).

I agree. I also research extensively with Google and have never seen Slashdot articles. But I disagree with Google's choice on this.

Maybe it is more a matter of Google drowning in information and have no practical way of filtering it all out.

To that end, Google seems to love Expert Exchange. I don't understand that. Seems like they make choices, and stick to them, at least for a while.

Search is a truly large space. I doubt I could manage it any better. I never tire of hitting enter and having a page of results before I have time to reach for the mouse. I'll cut them some slack on this one.

Even more obscure: ESC, Transfer, Save.

Still using it. Thanks, Charles.

a solution without of problem

I wonder if the purpose of being there first with a product like this is to register some patents & copyrights. Microsoft seems to introduce plenty of lame products...but I wonder if the patent royalty stream is the most profitable of a new product line. Much like their P.O. Box approach to DOS licensees -- just send me the money.

You make good points. I mostly agree. I do return to down modded posts, and look at them objectively. I've learned. I've changed how I write, and what I comment about. But I've also learned to avoid comment minefields.

There are certain subjects where reasonable posts will be bombed. But not nearly as much when those same posts are made anonymously.

I agree about ranters. Mr. hosts is obviously a good example of this. It was/is kind of humorous to see his several dozen posts in a row, on this thread. This guy must have many computers lined up to post from, given the daily limits on AC posts. He has issues, indeed. But no more than goats link posters.

But in, for example, an Apple thread, one had best be very careful what one says. To the point where I no longer even read Apple threads. This is mass mod trolling in action. Mac fanatics with mod points.

I should point out that, as much as I'm saying mod stalkers are a problem on Slashdot, forum/comment deficiencies are much more of a problem anywhere else you go. Slashdot comments, mods & meta-mods are the worst system ever invented...except for all the others.

Here's to Slashdot. May it remain free from the promised Beta/Downgrade, and may it stop linking to Medium.com
