And they said it would never last ;-) :):):) Farewell to the 9 previous SSSF Quotes threads, welcome to Number X, may the sailing be smooth:) Someone asked if there are any rules. We are making them up as we go...”good manners and wit” are usually quite conducive to make the ride un-bumpy;-).

From: New White Froot Loop Ž 01/07/2002 12:01:47 Subject: re: Invention of the Wheel post id: 83363 Just looked up the details... Galileo wrote to the Medicis, "Haec immatura a me iam frustra leguntur oy." "These unripe things are read by me oy" ... an odd thing to say, especially with the meaningless oy on the end. It was an anagram for "Cynthiae figuras aemulatur Mater Amorum". meaning "Cynthia's figures are imitated by the Mother of Love". He was basically wanting to publish the fact that he had observed that Venus showed phases, just as the moon does, but didn't want to come out and say it in case someone set fire to him.

But I’m less passionate about this issue than I am about the whole gloom and doom environmental movement. It causes impressionable people ... untold grief based upon no evidence, for no reason other than to provide money and power to a small minority by taking it from the poor and powerless. As far as I’m concerned that makes it evil and worth getting passionate about fighting.

From The Bone Collector There are no sides There is no tribe There is no Santa Claus What there is a science forum that is filled with a mix of good and bad people. Who are for and against certain issues. Who know or don't know OR make it up Who behave or not. Who contribute or not. Who make this place better ot not. They come they go. They think or they do not Eclectic gathering or all this site is meant to be and then some. Have a good night. The only advice is not to allow the madness that this place offers sometimes to consume you.

They modify them so that in the second year they turn into gigantic mutant venus fly traps that roam the countryside, eating cattle. This forces the army to do the company's dirty work for them by shooting the monsters.

Sufaces like a cork. ... For some years, my living was made in the ADF. A worthy profession, the great value of which most of this country is completely ignorant of. For a few years thereafter, my living was made helping to market the technology of war to various customers. In the course of those few years, i was witness to enough of the "application" of that technology to case me to leave the work, or anything associated with it, forever. I have a healthy interst in technology, even some things like nice old aeroplanes, and submarines, and so forth. I do not care for their intended purpose at all. If someone asks a question about some facets of technology, i may be able to provide an answer. Please, don't confuse what i know with what i like, or approve of.

I called it the Pandora limit? Well… here' s another thought… There is another limit, fast approaching. The time when the information itself begins to accumulate itself. I'm talking about Artificial Intelligence. We humans will become irrelevant to Information. Information will no longer need us. The most miraculous thing to spring from Pandora's knowledge box will be living information. The rate of accumulation, the rate of effectiveness of information, will jump by the same factor as the first Limit. We are currently like Ghengis Khan, unable to see what our pony express will lead to. And I think the Internet, this Pony Express, is its pre-natal spinal cord.
